The Idaten Deities Know Only Peace “Demons” Review

The Idaten Deities Know Only Peace “Demons” is the tenth episode of the Idaten anime series. Following the events of episode 9. Miku and crew are still fugitives. Ysley is still trying to outmanoeuvre her and the other demons. And Umeyo finally has her kids.

 Plot

With the child out of control, Buzz and Meliano desperately go to the Idaten crew for help. They’re both killed by Cory though who’s had a major glow up. He’s stronger this time too, as shown by his fight with Hayato. He easily wipes the floor with Hayato until Gill steps in and they team up to take Cory down together. Miku uses all manner of tricks to keep her team secret. But it’s shown that she planned way ahead, giving the Demon Lord a nonsense password to search on the internet so he could find them.

Her plan goes off without a hitch and secretly the Demons start planning from a distance how to get back to their former glory whilst the Idaten are distracted by the children of demons running wild. Ysley also points out that the damage done now could be greater as before there was no food for the young demons so they’d eat each other, now there’s food on every corner of the Earth so they can grow in numbers much faster. He also expresses concern over Gill and how strong she’s gotten as she’s clearly a manifestation of both human and Demon prayers. But it’s brushed over pretty quick.

Review

Loved this episode. Whilst it looks to begin with that Ysley and crew have got everything in order. Miku comes along and plays games messing with their sense of what’s going on. She’s the very thing a demon should be, even the demons are shocked by her. Brandy’s son is safe and well thanks to Miku but she encourages everyone else not to tell her daughter. Coldly stating that she’s an idiot and a single mis-step will get them killed.

At this point it’s impossible to say what the plan is going forward or who has the upper hand. Both sides are struggling to keep intel on the other. And that’s what I love. I know that the next episode will be just as unexpected and shocking as this was, I never expected Cory to straight up murder Buzz like that but here we are.

This is Idaten at it’s finest.
