[00:13] ---
    In the great sea of Ignora lay
    five islands in the shape of a cross.
[00:19] ---
    Four pointed in each cardinal direction
    around a larger one in the center
[00:22] ---
    to form Ente Isla, the islands
    watched over by the gods.
[00:29] ---
    All who lived in Ente Isla
    knew of Satan, ruler of demons.
[00:35] ---
    His very name was synonymous
    with the terror and cruelty
[00:39] ---
    which ruled this demon realm
    teeming with creatures of the night.
[00:46] ---
    Satan's ambition was to conquer the human world
[00:50] ---
    and build there a land of peace and
    prosperity for all night's creatures.
[00:58] ---
    He had four trusted generals:
[01:02] ---
    Adramelech, Lucifer, Alciel, and Malacoda.
[01:08] ---
    These four great demons launched
    attacks on the four continents.
[01:42] ---
    However, a lone hero rose up
    against them, sacred sword in hand.
[01:52] ---
    Along with a band of comrades, the hero
    crushed Lucifer's army to the west.
[01:57] ---
    They went on to defeat Adramelech in
    the north and Malacoda in the south,
[02:02] ---
    and then the federation
    of knights led by this hero
[02:05] ---
    invaded the central continent, where
    the lord of demons kept his castle.
[02:35] ---
    Damn! You wretched humans...!
[02:38] ---
    Divine souls, gather in the realm of the dead.
    Stop the demons and drag them to the netherworld!
[02:41] ---
    What?!
[02:46] ---
    How dare you!
[03:23] ---
    Sire!
[03:25] ---
    Out of my way!
[03:30] ---
    I am sorry, Sire.
[03:33] ---
    The human forces are
    steadily overcoming my army.
[03:36] ---
    It is only a matter of time
    before this castle falls.
[03:40] ---
    I never dreamed a single human "hero"
[03:44] ---
    could force us into such dire straits...
[03:48] ---
    Sire,
[03:50] ---
    I suggest we withdraw for now and regroup.
[04:03] ---
    Hear me, humans!
[04:04] ---
    I shall leave Ente Isla in your hands today!
[04:07] ---
    But know this: I shall return
[04:10] ---
    to subjugate you and all of Ente Isla!
[04:27] ---
    The Devil Arrives in Sasazuka
[04:30] ---
    Where are we?!
[04:31] ---
    Are you all right, Sire?
[04:34] ---
    Alciel, the first thing we must
    do is find a place to heal.
[04:39] ---
    Yes, Sire.
[04:40] ---
    But this seems an awfully noisy place...
[04:52] ---
    Wh-What is this world?!
[04:56] ---
    Could it--
[04:58] ---
    Sire?! Why do you take that form?!
[05:02] ---
    What?
[05:03] ---
    These are...
[05:06] ---
    ...human hands?
[05:12] ---
    Calm yourself, Alciel.
[05:14] ---
    We must be careful not to use magic.
[05:17] ---
    Excuse me, you there!
[05:20] ---
    Could I talk to you for a minute?
[05:22] ---
    Do not speak to me so familiarly, lowly human!
[05:25] ---
    Do you wish to die?
[05:27] ---
    Uh-oh, they're foreigners.
[05:29] ---
    Okay, do you boys understand Japanese?
[05:32] ---
    You look injured. Were you in a fight?
[05:34] ---
    Why?! Even if they do not speak our language,
[05:37] ---
    I am a demon, a user of magic--
[05:41] ---
    Alciel.
[05:42] ---
    Do not use your magic now.
    Not until we learn of this world.
[05:48] ---
    Aren't they hot, dressed like that?
[05:51] ---
    They're "cosplaying," Sir. Don't see
    that much in this neighborhood, though.
[05:57] ---
    This is Sasaki on patrol duty. I've got
    some boys with minor injuries here.
[06:01] ---
    This seems to be a carriage...
[06:01] ---
    The victims are foreigners
    from somewhere in Asia.
[06:05] ---
    But it doesn't require horses...
[06:05] ---
    We're in west Shinjuku, area 1-20.
[06:08] ---
    It doesn't seem to be powered by magic...
[06:08] ---
    Not sure whether they're tourists or residents.
[06:14] ---
    Now, can I get you to join us
    in the car? If nothing's wrong--
[06:19] ---
    Do not presume to touch me, lowly human!
[06:23] ---
    Know your place, you inferior creature!
[06:32] ---
    Okay, you two behave yourselves.
[06:43] ---
    Um, this is katsudon, okay?
[06:47] ---
    Katsu... don...
[06:49] ---
    Yes, yes.
[06:53] ---
    They coated animal flesh in some
    sort of grain and fried it in hot oil.
[06:57] ---
    Then they put a mashed-up bird egg on top,
[07:01] ---
    and heated it even further in a fish broth...
[07:04] ---
    I'm not actually supposed to feed you,
[07:07] ---
    but you two are injured,
    so we'll just call it my treat.
[07:12] ---
    I want more information about this world.
[07:16] ---
    What?
[07:19] ---
    Oh, yes.
[07:20] ---
    Answer my questions.
[07:25] ---
    Alciel.
[07:30] ---
    Alciel?
[07:32] ---
    Satan!
[07:33] ---
    H-Hey, you can't just come in here!
[07:35] ---
    Silence.
[07:36] ---
    Y-Yes, Sir...
[07:39] ---
    King Satan...
[07:40] ---
    I'm so glad you're all right.
[07:46] ---
    I used hypnotism to gain some
    information about this world...
[07:54] ---
    Apparently we've come to a world called "Earth."
[07:56] ---
    We're in one of its nations,
    an archipelago called "Japan."
[08:00] ---
    We stand now in its capital of "Tokyo,"
[08:04] ---
    and this building is someplace
    called a "police station."
[08:08] ---
    The police are evidently a state
    institution which maintains public order.
[08:11] ---
    I see. And what is that substance on the table?
[08:15] ---
    "Katsu Doon." It's an extremely
    common food in this country.
[08:20] ---
    "Katsu Doon"...
[08:22] ---
    Yes, that has a powerful ring to it.
    This is of great interest.
[08:27] ---
    What? N-No, it's not particularly important.
[08:31] ---
    In this world, things like spell-casting,
    magic, demons, and the Devil
[08:36] ---
    are considered fantasies--
    things that don't really exist.
[08:40] ---
    Magic doesn't exist?! How could that be?!
[08:47] ---
    I see, so the insufficient magic here
[08:50] ---
    left us unable to retain our demonic forms?
[08:53] ---
    Yes. But who would have thought we'd
    look like this stripped of our magic...
[08:59] ---
    Perhaps humans actually form
    the basis of all living creatures.
[09:04] ---
    You jest, Sire.
[09:06] ---
    I'm sure it's merely an effect
    of this world and the Gate.
[09:10] ---
    I still retain some of my magic.
[09:13] ---
    It's quite an effort to stem
    its outward flow, though.
[09:16] ---
    What about you, Alciel?
[09:30] ---
    King Satan, is this...?
[09:32] ---
    No, I highly doubt you conjured this with magic.
[09:36] ---
    Oh.
[09:38] ---
    If I adjust the amount of magic
    I release, I won't run out for a while.
[09:42] ---
    The real problem is that we
    have no way to amass more.
[09:45] ---
    Still, if Earth is familiar with the
    concept of magic, even as "imaginary,"
[09:49] ---
    there may be some method
    of recovering our powers.
[09:53] ---
    The path left to us is to discover
    that method and get them back.
[09:59] ---
    Until then, we have no choice
[10:02] ---
    but to live in this world
    and obey these humans' rules.
[10:04] ---
    What a cruel reality this is.
[10:07] ---
    Yes. Our first step is...
[10:13] ---
    ...to obtain "records" and "certificates
    of residence" at this "ward office."
[10:20] ---
    Sire...
[10:22] ---
    H-Hmm?
[10:25] ---
    Here.
[10:25] ---
    Sadao Maou
[10:25] ---
    Head of Household
[10:26] ---
    All right.
[10:27] ---
    Next, we create accounts at the "bank."
[10:30] ---
    To do so, we use this.
[10:32] ---
    What is that paper?
[10:34] ---
    It's this country's currency.
[10:35] ---
    I borrowed it from that police person.
[10:38] ---
    We also need a seal.
    I whipped one up for myself.
[10:42] ---
    Most impressive.
[10:43] ---
    Lifelong Safe Trust
[10:43] ---
    Super Fixed Deposit
[10:43] ---
    Here you are.
[10:45] ---
    Realtor
[10:46] ---
    Good. Now we just need to secure
    a base of operations from a "real-tore."
[10:50] ---
    We are searching house!
[10:54] ---
    What sort of home do you have in mind, Sir?
[10:56] ---
    He understood you!
[10:58] ---
    C-Calm down, Alciel!
[11:00] ---
    A little language acquisition is nothing for me!
[11:06] ---
    O-Okay! I'm in the groove here!
[11:13] ---
    The landlady here is a very admirable person.
[11:17] ---
    If I may speak frankly,
    she says she wants to set an example
[11:21] ---
    by taking on persons of
    unknown background, like you.
[11:24] ---
    Th-This is...
[11:25] ---
    Yes. Even I can tell...
[11:29] ---
    Well, at least it's a two-story house...
[11:33] ---
    And it has six rooms.
[11:35] ---
    You'd be renting room 201 here.
[11:38] ---
    We get one room?
[11:41] ---
    I suppose we should be grateful it has a roof...
[11:44] ---
    Certainly when you compare it
    to the Devil's Castle, it's a bit--
[11:46] ---
    Good afternoon.
[11:49] ---
    Is it... human?
[11:52] ---
    You two are the new rental applicants, correct?
[11:56] ---
    It spoke...?!
[11:57] ---
    This is the apartment owner. She lives next door.
[12:01] ---
    I am Miki Shiba.
[12:03] ---
    That's "Miki" spelled with the
    kanji for "beauty" and "radiance."
[12:06] ---
    Oh, but do feel free to call me "Mikitty."
[12:13] ---
    Right...
[12:15] ---
    Sire, are you sure this is the right place for us?
[12:19] ---
    It seems that in this world
    they say "patience is a virtue."
[12:23] ---
    This style of Devil's Castle
    will make a nice change.
[12:26] ---
    Oh, Sire...
[12:29] ---
    From here, we shall take
    a new step... for... ward...
[12:34] ---
    King Satan! King Satan!
[12:37] ---
    King Satan!
[12:39] ---
    Central Police Hospital
[12:43] ---
    I didn't realize this body required food!
[12:47] ---
    It is a human body, Sire.
[12:49] ---
    Not to mention that "IV drip" thing
    cost a full month's rent on the castle!
[12:55] ---
    You know what they call that here?
    "Rubbing salt into a wound"!
[12:58] ---
    Sire, that uncanny landlady
    spared us a good deal of trouble.
[13:03] ---
    She tells me that Japan requires
    residents to carry health ins--
[13:06] ---
    Anyway! Money is clearly of
    the essence in this human society.
[13:11] ---
    I can't afford to expend any
    more of my magic, either.
[13:14] ---
    Which means we have only one choice left.
[13:17] ---
    What is that, Sire?
[13:22] ---
    Whoops, I did it wrong.
[13:24] ---
    You idiot! Résumé forms
    don't grow on trees, you know!
[13:28] ---
    Okay, I'm "Sadao Maou"...
[13:31] ---
    "Shiro Ashiya"... Do you think
    this name is strange, Sire?
[13:34] ---
    It's too late to ask me that!
    We already made IDs!
[13:49] ---
    King Satan.
[13:51] ---
    Yeah?
[13:52] ---
    Might I suggest you put a little
    more thought into your spending?
[13:55] ---
    I'm thinking plenty!
    Summer's coming, so we need a fridge,
[14:00] ---
    and owning a laundry machine is
    cheaper than coin laundry in the long run.
[14:04] ---
    The bike is essential for commuting to work.
[14:07] ---
    That's not the issue, Sire!
[14:10] ---
    I'm questioning why you
    didn't pay in installments.
[14:14] ---
    I hate loans.
[14:15] ---
    Now look here--
[14:17] ---
    And installment plans come with fees, you know!
[14:20] ---
    I ain't paying for something
    I can't touch with my own hands!
[14:23] ---
    In that case, let me ask you this:
[14:27] ---
    How are we supposed to make it to payday
    on milk, konjac jelly, and cucumbers?!
[14:31] ---
    Well...
[14:34] ---
    It's not like we've got no money left!
[14:37] ---
    I've still got some in my wallet!
[14:40] ---
    And hey, they give me meals at work!
[14:44] ---
    We'll die.
[14:46] ---
    You propose we eat burgers and fries
    three times a day until payday?!
[14:49] ---
    What is this, Super Size Me?
[14:50] ---
    You plan to eat a high-calorie,
    high-cholesterol diet from a young age?
[14:52] ---
    I look forward to ten years from now!
[14:53] ---
    I just hope you don't die prematurely of a
    lifestyle-related illness before we get home!
[14:54] ---
    I must apologize for my cowardice, Sire,
[14:55] ---
    but you're the one who
    argued for biding our time!
[14:57] ---
    You of all people ought to prize constant
    diligence and health maintenance!
[14:58] ---
    Put a sock in it! I'm going to work!
[15:00] ---
    Wait, Sire!
[15:01] ---
    Lecture me later!
[15:02] ---
    No, I mean you forgot your umbrella!
[15:05] ---
    Let's go, Dullahan!
[15:10] ---
    Well, I suppose I'll get ready too.
[15:43] ---
    Here.
[15:45] ---
    Please, use this.
[15:46] ---
    Er, um...
[15:48] ---
    I work right nearby.
    At the MgRonald's by the train station.
[15:55] ---
    All right...
[15:57] ---
    I don't even care if you throw it out!
[15:58] ---
    Yeesh, that's cold!
[16:09] ---
    This week is key! It decides who sells the
    most of our feature item in our district!
[16:13] ---
    I swear, I will break the sales
    record for black pepper fries!
[16:20] ---
    Welcome to MgRonald's. May I take your order?
[16:23] ---
    A cheeseburger and a small cola.
[16:26] ---
    May I interest you in some black pepper fries?
    They're our featured item.
[16:30] ---
    No, thanks.
[16:32] ---
    Yes, these little continuous
    efforts are necessary
[16:33] ---
    One cheeseburger and one small cola--
[16:35] ---
    that will be 220 yen.
[16:35] ---
    for my eventual comeback as lord of demons!
[16:36] ---
    Here's 1,000.
[16:38] ---
    Let me get your change.
[16:39] ---
    That's one chicken burger, one
    iced coffee, and one Happiness Meal.
[16:43] ---
    730 yen, please!
[16:44] ---
    Oh, would you like to use
    our microwave, Ma'am?
[16:50] ---
    If you've brought baby food
    that can go in the microwave,
[16:53] ---
    I'll heat it up while you wait.
[16:56] ---
    You're sure you wouldn't mind?
[16:58] ---
    My pleasure, Ma'am.
[17:06] ---
    Mr. Maou, you're really amazing!
[17:08] ---
    I can't believe you thought
    of her baby food, even!
[17:11] ---
    Oh, that.
[17:13] ---
    Accommodating our customers'
    needs when we have the time
[17:17] ---
    gives us a long-term advantage.
[17:19] ---
    You're so cool! You're like a real working adult!
[17:23] ---
    Er, well, it is only a part-time job...
[17:26] ---
    Central Library
[17:36] ---
    Another job lost, Ashiya.
[17:39] ---
    Please call me "Alciel," Sire.
[17:41] ---
    Anyway, our goal is to return
    to Ente Isla, not to do day labor!
[17:47] ---
    As you say, Sire.
[17:49] ---
    You find us a way to get back our magic.
[17:52] ---
    Sire?
[17:53] ---
    I'll work and earn us money. You use your brains.
[17:57] ---
    This world knows the concepts
    of magic and spell-casting.
[18:00] ---
    Maybe if we trace them to their source...
[18:03] ---
    You believe we'll be able to recover our powers?!
[18:05] ---
    Yes. And then we won't stop at Ente Isla.
[18:10] ---
    I say we rule this world, too!
[18:13] ---
    Sire!
[18:14] ---
    You mean "Maou."
[18:16] ---
    As you wish, Sire. I, Alciel, vow to
    discover the path to your supremacy!
[18:24] ---
    Rise, Alciel. You're embarrassing me.
[18:27] ---
    Utopias of the World
[18:28] ---
    And yet...
[18:30] ---
    Hey! I got a 100-yen-per-hour raise!
[18:33] ---
    Listen, the guy who started today is pretty good!
[18:36] ---
    You're at the bottom of the totem pole, Sire!
[18:36] ---
    Reference Book Use Only
[18:36] ---
    No Private Studying
[18:39] ---
    If the Devil is an underling,
    what does that make me?!
[18:44] ---
    Not that I've made progress on this front either...
[18:48] ---
    And with only books to go on,
    all I can do is speculate...
[18:57] ---
    Oh, an earthquake.
[18:59] ---
    Mr. Maou, it's an earthquake.
[19:02] ---
    Yes, yes it is.
[19:06] ---
    Hey, Chi.
[19:07] ---
    Yes?
[19:08] ---
    Everyone makes mistakes.
[19:10] ---
    But it's the sixth time I've dropped
    fries on the floor this month!
[19:15] ---
    True, you do drop them every other day.
[19:18] ---
    I just clean up after myself while
    everybody else waits on customers...
[19:22] ---
    At this rate potatoes will
    start sprouting from the floor!
[19:26] ---
    Hey, you kids on break.
[19:30] ---
    What's wrong, Chi?
[19:31] ---
    What's wrong, Manager?
[19:33] ---
    Call me "Miss Kisaki"!
[19:35] ---
    It's getting crowded out there.
[19:36] ---
    When your breaks are up,
    I want you operating at full power.
[19:38] ---
    This is when the fight for #1 really gets in gear.
[19:41] ---
    I'm counting on you.
[19:43] ---
    Oh, and try not to plant
    too many potatoes, Sasaki.
[19:49] ---
    Yes, Ma'am.
[19:51] ---
    One MgBurger meal with black pepper fries!
[19:52] ---
    One order of large black pepper fries, please!
[19:56] ---
    Welcome to MgRonald's.
[19:57] ---
    A smile, please!
[20:01] ---
    W-Welcome to MgRonald's...
[20:04] ---
    If we keep this up, we can do it!
    We can make #1 in the district!
[20:10] ---
    They're not done yet?
[20:12] ---
    Don't tell me the fryer's broken?!
[20:14] ---
    Did it have to be the black pepper fryer?!
[20:17] ---
    Okay, Maou, focus! What now?
[20:20] ---
    If I don't do something,
    making #1 is the least of our problems!
[20:25] ---
    Do I use my magic?
[20:28] ---
    Please save your magic for emergencies, Sire.
[20:42] ---
    What's wrong?
[20:46] ---
    Life is fail.
[20:47] ---
    It's not your fault, Mr. Maou.
[20:50] ---
    And the repairman should be done by evening!
[20:52] ---
    Hey, Maa, got a second?
[20:54] ---
    Yeah.
[20:56] ---
    What's going on? Is she gonna
    blame me for us not getting #1?
[21:01] ---
    No, it's not like I broke it...
[21:05] ---
    Or does she suspect me because
    I was about to use magic?!
[21:08] ---
    Thanks for waiting! Here we go.
[21:11] ---
    At ease, kid. It's not bad news.
[21:14] ---
    I just got the approval from the district office.
[21:17] ---
    Uh, what?
[21:19] ---
    Sadao Maou, as of today,
    I'm promoting you to A-level staff.
[21:25] ---
    All right!
[21:27] ---
    I'm A-level staff, Ashiya! I got a raise!
[21:35] ---
    Hey.
[21:36] ---
    Huh? Oh, it's you.
[21:38] ---
    I went to your restaurant after we spoke.
[21:41] ---
    Oh, you did? I didn't see you.
    You should've said something!
[21:46] ---
    I watched you all day from
    the bookstore across the street.
[21:50] ---
    You look so different that
    I thought I was mistaken, but...
[21:54] ---
    You started to cast a spell.
[21:56] ---
    A spell...?
[22:00] ---
    Wait, are you--?!
[22:04] ---
    Why exactly are you working
    part-time at MgRonald's, Satan?!
[22:08] ---
    Emilia the hero?!
[22:28] ---
    Where will morning start from, in this quiet sky?
[22:33] ---
    Fingertips twining in a pinky
    swear I pretended not to see
[22:39] ---
    If the moon's been laughed at,
    she'll sink away toward yesterday
[22:50] ---
    Liar, coward--if I'm all these things at once
[22:55] ---
    Then I only blossomed in dreams
[23:01] ---
    I hid in the moon's shadow,
    but the truth is, I was crying
[23:06] ---
    The tears won't flow anymore--
    did they all dry up?
[23:12] ---
    If I could forgive everything,
    maybe they'd flow again
[23:19] ---
    But these are all things I want to protect
[23:48] ---
