English Dub Review: Demon Lord, Retry! R “ReMain”

Overview (Spoilers Below):
After the chaos dies down, Kunai returns to Organ, and they continue their journey into the Beast Kingdom.

Our Take:
Now that Luna’s problem has been resolved by rescuing Eagle, Kunai can continue his own quest to become impervious to magic.  To do so, he’ll have to complete a “simple” task with Organ and Mink that’ll take them to the Beast Kingdom.  Don’t get me wrong.  Luna’s arc involving her saving Eagle was pretty satisfactory, considering you all have been following their friendship since season one.  However, it also followed the similar issue that plagued the first two episodes of season two, in which it strayed far from the protagonist’s own adventure.  There was also the matter of execution, which failed to inject much emotion and thrill into the presentation and storyline.
Fortunately, the episode knows it’s time for the show to focus on Kunai and his journey to Beastkin territory.  During the quest, we learn a bit more about Organ’s reasoning for her desire to kill her father, who raped her human mother.  After she was born, Organ became a test subject for multiple tolerance experiments, including poison, which caused her to lose her sense of taste.  Afterward, the episode offered a brief yet mildly amusing confrontation with the Monkey Men and their leader due to Kunai using his golden headband item to torture the primal ruler.  Admittedly, this was the only part I liked about the episode, which unfortunately didn’t excuse its repeated animation sequences and humdrum humor.
