“Maoyu Mao Yusha” Episode 3 Recap: “Where Have You Been?!”

Hero and Demon King (who has disguised herself as a noblewoman named Crimson Scholar) realize that education is important in advancing the agricultural reform, and they visit a nearby convent.

When the two meet with a nun at the convent to explain the current situation, she suddenly jumps at the sight of Hero. It turns out that the nun was a member of Hero’s old party in his fight against the Demon King. What kind of backstory do these two share?

From the official episode guide:

“What do you mean White Swordsman?! Where have you been?!” shouted the nun as she slapped Hero’s cheeks.

We hear that the nun is someone who used to fight alongside Hero! Devil King makes her calm down by telling her a lie about where Hero has been, and the two convey their goal for coming to the convent. A battle then unfolds, which the nun doesn’t perceive, in which Queen (disguised as White Swordsman) outshines Hero and impresses her with her wonderful idea. Many female fans took to anime message boards with fearful comments like, “It’s an all out war over his legal wife!” and “That was a scene of carnage, pure carnage...”

The second part of the episode sees the appearance of a compass, which is technologically advanced for the time. This is an indication of some kind of foreshadowing in the story. Maoyu is becoming more and more an anime that fans can’t take their eyes off of. What will happen next time?!
