Line #11 YMMV/HowNotToSummonADemonLord


1	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: A scene from Season 2 had the animators including a [[EasterEgg rabbit girl lookalike]] to [=VTuber=] idol Usada Pekora from ''WebAnimation/{{hololive}}''. However this ended up getting removed due to fears of breaching copyright laws.
2	* CantUnHearIt: Diablo being voiced in the dub by the same guy as the anime dub version of [[Anime/AceAttorney2016 Phoenix Wright]]; Creator/EricVale, which makes him figuring out how the world works quite a bit more funny.
3	* CompleteMonster:
4	** [[EntitledToHaveYou Keera L. Greenwood]] is the older brother of Shera and [[TheEvilPrince the prince]] of the [[Characters/HowNotToSummonADemonLordKingdomOfGreenwood Kingdom of Greenwood]]. He is known to be [[BigBrotherBully physically abusive]] towards Shera, while seeing her as nothing but a SexSlave that he rightfully owns and can use to continue their bloodline. Eventually, Shera had enough of his mistreatment and ran away, leading to him obsessively trying to recapture her and bring her back. He has a complete disregard for life, not caring how many people he endangers to achieve his goals and believes [[ItsAllAboutMe the entire world exists to please him]]. This is shown when he callously declares war over the pettiest of reasons, or when he summons the Force Hydra (a dangerous and destructive beast) even though he had no means of controlling it. He's also shown to be [[FantasticRacism incredibly racist]] to all races other than the Elves. When he finally recaptures Shera, he has her chained up and attempts to rape her while also putting her under mind control magic to make her desire to come back with him.
5	** [[ChurchMilitant Paladin Saddler]] of the [[Characters/HowNotToSummonADemonLordChurchOfCelestials Church of Celestials]] is a twisted sadist behind a [[FauxAffablyEvil mask of pleasantry]], Saddler butchers villages he suspects are "evil", killing them to the last man, woman and child. A [[TortureTechnician torture enthusiast]], Saddler is fond of attacking demihumans or anyone he so much as suspects of worshipping demons regardless of logic or justification, taking them and torturing them to death as a form of "purification" and justifying his beliefs under the notion that [[AGodAmI he is a god]]. When he captures Diablo's friend Rem, Saddler tries to torture her to death as well, his supposed righteousness nothing more than a mask for the twisted monster he truly is.
6	** [[BitchInSheepsClothing Paladin Captain Batutta]] is a ruthless knight [[{{Plaguemaster}} behind the Death Knell curse]]. Appearing an ally for Diablo's party in solving the illness at Zircon Tower, Batutta is later revealed to be the one responsible. Learning about a curse made from prime evil, the collective embodiment of sin, Batutta entrances people into committing evil deeds to extract the substance and then spread it in the town's [[WaterSourceTampering water supply]] where he would then [[PoisonAndCureGambit impose high taxes to the people for the cure]] and swear fealty to the Church, letting the paladins abuse and leaving those who can't afford to die. Learning Lumachina could cure the curse, Batutta plotted to corrupt her, kidnapping her and Rem before handing them to his servant to sexually assault them while luring Diablo to a trap. When Diablo and Sherri manage to best him ruining his plans Batutta as a last act tried to [[TakingYouWithMe take them with him]] by burying them in a cave-in.
7	* EnsembleDarkhorse: Klem the [[TheDreaded Demon Lord]], who is a supporting character introduced late in Season 1. She immediately endeared fans for being an adorable TokenMiniMoe, despite her fearsome reputation.
8	* EscapistCharacter: Diablo. Even more so than the usual [[StockLightNovelHero Isekai protagonists]], playing straight into the fantasies of players becoming their video game character and an extremely overpowered one at that. The one exception is HaremGenre wish fulfillment as Diablo limits himself to little more than hanging out with cute girls, often running away before things go too far and actually resistant to having sex with Rem and Shera[[spoiler:, even after he [[MarryThemAll marries both of them]].]]
9	* MemeticMolester: Diablo. Little surprise he became one given the AudienceAlienatingPremise of a 30 something otaku who accidentally acquired two teenage girls as his slaves, and who he has groped on several occasions. He also shared a kiss with a technically newborn girl, even if for a purpose other than just to do so.
10	** Of course, they tried to enslave him first only for Diablo's ring to automatically turn the spell back on to them. There's also the fact that Diablo himself is so incredibly awkward around women that he's a borderline gynophobe [[spoiler: who can't even bring himself to have sex with Rem and Shera even after marrying them]].
11	* MemeticMutation:
12	** "That girl is awesome!"[[note]]Diablo's reaction to Shera's breasts[[/note]]
13	** Shera isn't fat, she's thicc[[note]]common fan response to Rem calling Shera fat[[/note]]
14	** Breed the bunny[[note]]this is how people responded after seeing Sylvie get Diablo drunk and how he stripped her while cuddling her in bed.[[/note]]
15	** "T is for biscuiT"[[note]]Shera's biscuit song[[/note]]
16	* {{Moe}}:
17	** Klem elicits this reaction from the fandom, being an [[ChildrenAreInnocent innocent]] TokenMiniMoe who the rest of the cast are incredibly protective over.
18	** Shera, both for being a [[TheWoobie woobies]] as well as a pure hearted NiceGirl who still acts innocent and playful.
19	* MoralEventHorizon:
20	** If kidnapping Shera and trying to molest her wasn't enough for Keera to cross it, summoning the Force Hydra to incite a rampage (without ''any'' remorse for those he endangers) surely put him in irredeemable territory.
21	** Galford crosses it when he decapitates [[spoiler: Keera.]] [[AssholeVictim No one will be mourning his loss,]] but it doesn't change the fact that it was unprovoked murder of someone who was retreating and no longer had any intention of fighting.
22	%%* {{Narm}}: Gregore's anime appearance is less threatening than how he looks in the manga.
23	* SpoiledByTheFormat: In the English dub, unless you chalk it up to the standard practice of women voicing young men, [[spoiler: Horn]]'s high pitched voice (combined with her anime character design not being as androgynous as described in the light novels) effectively spoils her eventual UnsettlingGenderReveal.
24	* TearJerker: The funeral for the adventurers that died protecting Celes and Rem.
25	* TheWoobie: Some of the cast have tragic backgrounds.
26	** Rem being born with a curse with Krebskulm sealed inside her, she keeps it a secret to avoid being alienated and the Fallen are after her to release the demon lord within her.
27	** Shera runs away from her kingdom, due to being abused by her older brother.
28	** Diablo, when he was Takuma Sakamoto, is used and manipulated by others who pretend to be his friends in his childhood.
