None of that matters, though, because those demons get killed off. So you think, “Wow, this will be a lot to grapple with,” especially when the kids are being chased by the demons who are trying to find food for their kids. There’s an entire scene where the kids run into a blind demon who laments how the town is deteriorating and in need of food and you think, “Oh I see, the kids are gonna have to come to terms with the fact that there are demons who HAVE to eat them to live.” Unlike the previous two demons they met (Sonju and Mujika) who choose not to eat humans for religious reasons, demon children NEED to eat humans to grow. The problem is it doesn’t get fully explored. The other infuriating thing about this episode is how it introduces us to a pair of demons who are desperate for food for the sake of deteriorating demon children. We’ve gone from “series showing kids making survival gear with what’s around the house” to “time jump that puts the kids where they need to be.”

We don’t get to see them making the disguises, don’t get to see them planning how to slip into the village, nope, we get none of that.
Because there’s a time jump where the kids suddenly have a new place they’re hiding and they travel back and forth to the local demon village. How? How is it that easy? You mean the demons can’t at least smell the humans? Oh wait, they can, they do later when they get close enough, but these kids have been walking amongst demons for MONTHS how has this not been an issue?Īnd yes.
In fact, they look SO much like humans wearing masks that the kids can blend right in with the disguises they’ve made.
I’ve already explained how odd of a decision that was, but I thought, “Maybe something interesting will come from it.” What we get is the kids slipping into a demon village to get food, and I dunno, the demon designs are kinda… plain? Compared to the giant, otherworldly beings we met in the first season, these demons look like humans wearing masks. In the previous episode, the kids were forced out of the safe house when the military showed up on behalf of the demons pursuing them.
