Hello everyone, thanking you all for the awesome feedback, and thanking the nice

sp_kathrine who provided the raws, here we go with a full summary of the episode.
Feel free to discuss it even between you all, we are going to discuss it better on Saturday in the chatroom but for the others, here we go.

First scene shows us peace around Shin Makoku.

Then we enter in the castle where Gwendal is making some kind of announcement in front of all the aristocracts (there is one of them that looks like a male version of Julia O_O)
There are aristocrats for every country, in order we see Gunter Von Christ, Von Spitzberg, Von Bielefeld, von Kabernikoff, Von Wincott, Von Rochefort, von Ghirenboll, von Radford, Von Grants (empty), Von Voltaire.
Gwendal announces they are designating lord Wolfram Von Bielefled as the 28th maou.

Title

Earth
Yuuri is riding his bicycle and remembers first looking at the group playing baseball then alone. If he didn't help Murata at that time he would have never gone there and he would have been a simple high school boy. His voice has something sweet, like he is remembering fondly.
Everything started from there after all. (he is in front of the bathroom.)
He spots Murata trying to run away from some boys, they are trying to convince him to play with them, they need a defender.
Yuuri calls him and he leaves.
Yuuri says it's nice that this time it was some nice boys who stopped him instead of the ones from last time^^
So they leave and get home.
Miko is very happy to see them! Shouri is less happy XDD
Miko asks them if they can bring her with them now that they are going to Shin Makoku. Then she says there is something she wants to show Yuuri.
She shows a box covered with something to prevent it from getting wet, she bought it thinking it would have looked good on Wolfram. She also has something Gwendal could use, and there are some cookies.
Yuuri says he does not have a lot of control yet so he can't bring a lot of things. Shouri notices and asks if this is the case why is he bringing Murata? But Ken answers he is like a key for Yuuri's maryoku so that's fine.
Shouri wants to go too! Yuuri puts them near and leaves with Murata. They run into the bathroom but somehow the dress for Wolfram gets in the water too and is transported^^;;;
They get to Shinou's temple where we see Conrad appear, he welcomes them back. Ulrike is also there and welcomes them.
Murata asks how many days passed since they left, and Conrad answers 12 days.
Then Yuuri looks around.
Conrad answers before he can question, saying he is alone this time in welcoming them. Murata comments that it is rare, there is always him to comes to welcome them all.
Conrad answers again that Wolfram is out for Von Bielefelt's duties while Gunter is very busy!
Everybody knows what they are talking about, apparently it's being going on for a while, the preparation for the "coming of age" ceremony.
*flashback*
We see Gunther complaining that the event is incredibly important! They got to know that Yuuri's birthday passed already (he is 16!).
Gunter complains and promises to have a big ceremony!!!
*end flashback*
Murata comments on how Gunter seems to think about Yuuri as a nephew or something similar but Ulrike says that everyone wants to celebrate this important event with Yuuri.
They are walking around the temple while Murata has a weird smile on his face.
Finally they get to the castle.
Gisela as a good sergeant and is making the guards run.
They are all so happy to see Yuuri and stop XDDD
While Yuuri asks why they are doing this, Gisela just answers she thought it was nice for them to practice but both Murata and Conrad have weird faces.
Greta runs to Yuuri and Anissina and Cheri follows.
Yuuri comments he feels like he's finally back!
We see Gwendal in his room, Jozak comes and tells him about Yuuri being back, then he asks if it's fine for him to not know anything yet. Gwendal says there is no other option, if he would know he would definitely make some impulsive thing. Jozak agrees, knowing something like this Yuuri would like to deal with it personally or he would think that he himself is being a problem.
Gwendal stops Jozak before he finishes the sentence.
Then Jozak asks, doesn't it look like Wolfram is late? Maybe it wasn't a good idea to let him go. Gwendal says it's something Wolfram decided by himself and makes a scary (worried?) face
Now we see Wolfram and his guards. They are all serious and checking around. Wolfram seems deep in thought.
They see in front of them a lot of soldiers with blue jackets. Wolfram says something about they are not letting them get something back easily.
Wolfram’s guards tell him to stay back but Wolfram tells them to stand down and open the path for him.
The guards of the opposite part ask Wolfram to go back, he says he can't, they talk, Wolfram asks to open the path. They say they can't it's an order they can't let him pass.
There is no other choice all of them prepare their swords to fight.
Wolfram screams "I'll go back home !!! Shin Makoku's new king is only one!!!" before attacking.

BREAK

Castle
Everyone is eating and Yuuri comments on how the food is good.
It's the new maid who made them. They comment that they like the cakes a lot.
The new maid is relieved and all the maids are commenting on how Yuuri is nice.
Cheri comments how Yuuri is becoming an adult and then she comes near him offering to make him try "adults love" XDD
Conrad stops them, he says it's too early for Yuuri to try that and Murata finishes saying it's definitely too early for someone who doesn't even have a girlfriend XDD
Greta wants to become an adult soon too and become like Anissina.
Anissina reassures Greta that she will become exactly like her and Yuuri panics saying it's too soon to think about that and starts to picture adult Greta and says she will definitely becomes a beautiful lady. There goes the movie in Yuuri's head where he imagines Greta finding a boyfriend and leaving him.

Gunter comes inside, apparently the ceremony's preparation are going well.
Fangirling over how cool Yuuri will be during the ceremony, Gunter has a nosebleed XD

Wolfram is still fighting, the guards against him ask him again to go back, he seems sure to continue and uses his maryoku and opens the way.
They leave.

Yuuri and the others meet Gwendal, Yuuri is happy to see him, Gwendal stops his question and treats him very coldly.
Gwendal, Anissina, Conrad and Cheri are discussing something related to what we saw at the beginning, they all are saying that from their parts it's fine (Conrad speaks on Von Wincott's part)
Some of the absent ones are against this...and here lies the problem apparently.
They say they need to end the celebration of the coming of age absolutely.
Yuuri wakes up hearing some horses.
We see Conrad running and opening a door, his face is scared, Wolfram just came back and is hurt and without strength. Wolfram says he is fine though, so Conrad has to go call Gwendal. Yuuri comes in and asks what happened to him.
Wolfram says he got attacked by bandits. Yuuri doesn't seem to believe it but Conrad backs Wolfram up and minimizes the thing.
Wolfram tells Yuuri to move away, Conrad tells him he will call Gisela, Yuuri is shocked that Conrad too answers him in that way.
Cheri runs inside. I think Wolfram was so weak because he used maryoku on human territory.
Gisela says that with some rest he will be fine. Wolfram ask for forgiveness he wasn't able to finish something, Gwendal apologizes too because they made him go through a lot of pain.
He says to leave it to him now and tells Wolfram to go rest.
In Shinou's temple Murata says that something is happening again and wonders if HE is part of it this time too...we see some familiar feet XDDD

In the bedroom, Yuuri is troubled.

Following day, Yuuri’s ceremony

Murata comments on how Yuuri looks good.
Yuuri asks Murata if he didn't notice everyone being weird since they came back, Murata says yes, Yuuri would like to know but Murata says : why do you think they are not telling you? Yuuri answers: Because they don't want to see me worried.
Murata: You are the king of this country, you have to be protected
Yuuri: If something is really happening I want to do something to prevent it!
Murata; the most important thing for you is this ceremony now, the time will come when they will tell you everything. You can just trust them and wait. This means being adult.

Ceremony begin.
Gunter's speech about Yuuri's great work.
Yuuri needs to makes the oath and he finds himself in an arena with a giant sandbear in front of him XDDD

END OF EP

So, opening is faboulous don't you think?
The plot seems interesting but judging from the titles it will be solved quickly?
So, what did you think about the episode? Did you like it? Hated it? Expected something more?
Discuss away, we will discuss with you too!!!
The chatroom will happen again on Saturday, we'll put a reminder for sure!
Enjoy!^^

I'm still squeeing over the OP. Baseball uniform Yuuri, be still my heart. XD And I really like the song. I also like the analyze the OPs based on what may happen in the season, and it seems like even though there will be some baddies it may be lighthearted over, which may be fun. I also found it interesting how much time Shinou had in the OP...I'm wondering if he will play a major role throughout. I'm unsure how I would feel about that, but we'll see how it goes.

As to the episode itself, they sure are keeping what's going on under wraps! I totally feel Yuuri's frustration at wanting to know what's going on. I really am not great at speculating what they are trying to prevent. My first thought in them choosing Wolfram to be the step-in Maou was that it had something to do with Yuuri only technically being a half-mazoku and that maybe causing some trouble, but I don't think that's a well-known fact. It's also interesting to me to find out why they choose Wolfram instead of Gwendal, who I think would be the most obvious choice because of his current leadership position.

I guess we'll just have to see how it goes!

Oh, and the ending? So much love for the dancing Kohi!!!! <#

I like the song a lot too!!! It's so...fitting!
yeah I think the aristocrats will play some big role, especially for the first arc and Shinou, it's confirmed he is back but what he has in mind it's still unknown **

Poor Yuuri I felt bad because it's definitely not nice to know your friends are hiding something >_<
I guess he will feel even worst next episode when he will actually find out he was replaced. ;_;
And yeah I was shocked over that, Gwendal would have been more suited to be Maou, so why Wolfram? There is something going on, basing it on what Wolfram screamed it might also be that someone doesn't want to recognize Yuuri as their Maou and that's why they had to chose another one.
But the Shinou has something to do with it as always so..who knows XD

Ooh the ending reminded me of another anime, Yamanto nadeshiko shichi henge, it was basically the same! XD

Yeah, I think Yuuri learning he was 'replaced' is going to give him a complex about being a bad king. And we just resolved that issue at the end of season 2!

~~I forsee a lot of Shinou x Anyone else fics in the future!~~
