Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ente Isla, a parallel universe of magic and the supernatural, was once on the brink of being conquered by the "Devil King" Satan Jacob. That is until, a Hero united the armies of the world to thwart him, forcing him to escape through a magical portal with his most loyal general Alciel. With his parting words, Satan vowed to return and finish what he started.Alas, both men are dumped by the portal into modern-day Earth (specifically, Japan) and discover that this universe's lack of magical energy has Brought Them Down To Normal. Completely broke and nigh-powerless, they are forced to adjust to life in this unfamiliar world. While Alciel (under the alias "Shiro Ashiya") investigates a way to regain their powers, Satan (now "Maou Sadao") gets a part-time job at a fast food joint to pay for their rent and daily expenses. Maou takes to his new role with enthusiasm and competency, quickly becoming an ideal employee and gaining the admiration of his cute co-worker, high-school girl Chiho Sasaki.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })But Maou's past is quickly catching up to him: Emilia Justina, the Hero who defeated him, has followed him to Earth and is set on finishing what she started...except she too has lost most of her powers, and finds herself reduced to a call-center agent under the name "Emi Yusa." Hilarity Ensues.The Devil is a Part-Timer! (Hataraku Maou-Sama! or "Overlord At Work!") is a Light Novel series written by Satoshi Wagahara and illustrated by 029 (Oniku).

Dull Eyes of Unhappiness | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_174d487f | comment |
Happens to Chiho briefly in episode 8 when Suzuno says she's looking for a job, and Maou innocently suggests she work with him and Chiho at MgRonalds. During the transition, she also develops Dull Eyes of Unhappiness. The scene basically plays out such that the quality of art by which she's drawn drops each time she hears something that makes her unhappy. | |

Genre Shift | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: The revelation of angels' history shift the story considerably toward sci-fi rather than just pure fantasy. However, given that the angels mastered both technology and magic, things goes on more Science Fantasy route, with demons mostly able to repair a spaceship using magic. | |

All There in the Manual | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: The character files (presented in the resume format) in the light novels reveal some interesting personal details (amongst some funny annotations) about the characters of the series: Ashiya and Maou are really old. In fact, Ashiya is so old that he was already active in the demon army before Japan adopted the era calendar scheme (in AD 645). Emi scored 700 (out of a maximum of 990) in the TOEICnote Test of English for International Communication. Chiho holds a 1st dan rank in kyūdō, or Japanese archery, which is referenced by her brief archery scene in the OP animation. This becomes useful in Volume 5 when Laila, at least partially possessing Chiho, forged an energy bow to take advantage of Chiho's archery skill, or in Volume 16 when she enters an archery competition in Ente Isla. Suzuno passed the level 1 (the highest possible) Kanji Aptitude Test. | |

The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_19769f50 | comment |
Defeat Means Friendship: Once Maou defeats Lucifer, he takes him in. Thus Lucifer stays at Maou and Alciel's home, so he doesn't cause further trouble, and helps them searching for sources of magic on Earth. Averted with Sariel, though, who the cast continues to despise even if they no longer view him as an enemy, nor is Gabriel. | |

The Quisling | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_1e679bd0 | comment |
The Quisling: The Azure Emperor is quite cooperative with demons conquering his realm in the Eastern Continent. This proves to be a positive example where he and Alciel hammered a plan to shift demons' plan from conquering human realms to help integrate them into human society, a plan which Maou eventually adopts. This would also benefit the Empire (and other nations that adopted the plan): the demon influx would mean that those nations would have better means of matching the Church and the Western Continent's powers. Meanwhile, they would also send manpower to help Maou invade Heaven. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Random earthquakes that aren't so random. They were sonar pings used by Emi's companions in order to locate her on Earth. They later explain in episode 5 that it was specifically targeting those who were thinking about the Dark Lord, hence why Chiho was subjected to them as well. The string of muggings. Maou deduces that the muggings were to put fear into people that Lucifer could then feed off of to regain some of his powers. Emi's missing wallet. Lucifer is the one who finds it, and is able to use her contact information to his advantage. While looking at Chi's school for some magic, Chi spots a package of noodles on the ground. The school is also where Lucifer and Olba came through. This hints that Suzuno came through there too and how she would try poisoning Maou and company. At one time when Emi was visiting the Devil's castle, Lucifer handed her her purse. He put a tracker in it to know her whereabouts at all times. Holy Vitamin B helps Olba regain enough magic to bring the moon closer for Sariel in episode 12. | |

Tampering with Food and Drink: Suzuno poisons some wine to kill some heretics with in a Flash Back during episode 11 as part of her job as an Inquisitor for the Church. Maou also reveals in episode 12 that he knew she had put holy magic into the free food she gave them, hence why Ashiya was always sick in much of the second half of the anime, since he ate much of her food to ease their food budget. | |

Funny Background Event | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_26eb6287 | comment |
Funny Background Event: When Emi tries storming Castle Overlord (read: knocks on the door of their one-room apartment and begins yelling at them to come out and fight) Alciel locks the door and begins discussing the situation with Maou while in the background Emi first rants at and threatens them before beginning to cry in frustration. Later, she tries to pick a fight with Maou at work, which he willfully misinterprets as her ordering food. When she walks out, she's carrying the food he decided she had been ordering. When Emi and Suzuno go to Moonbucks, Suzuno copies Emi's gestures - being out of touch with modern Japan, she sees Emi as being more experienced. When she copies Emi spilling some cream for her coffee, she makes a triumphant fist for a brief moment at having gotten it 'right'. Suzuno again in Sentucky. After taking their seats, look at her face for the entire length of the scene while Rika and Emi bicker. She takes a small sip of her drink and then just stares at it the entire time as if it's the nectar of the gods. Lucifer often complains about how poorly he is treated by the other characters, who, of course, ignore his rants, relegating him to background noise. | |

As mentioned above, the stairs to their room could easily be classified as a death trap after the amount of damage it's done to visitors. This gets hilarious in Volume 15 when the whole room is transported into his castle in Ente Isla, resulting in them now living in a 6 tatami mat room...in the middle of a giant throne room. | |

Missing Steps Plan | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_30e6200f | comment |
Missing Steps Plan: Emphasized; Maou's Evil Plan? Climb up the employee ladder at MgRonalds, Take Over the World. This is in fact a running gag, each raise and promotion a step forward to his goals. When he becomes assistant shift manager, Chiho (who knows of their origins at this point) even brings up the fact that he technically has human underlings now under his power (with added hilarity from Emi appearing and saying she'll never allow it in typical hero fashion... for a mundane situation). | |

Evolving Credits | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_3297cfbb | comment |
Evolving Credits: The series initially had a placeholder opening as well as ending, despite having the accompanying songs for both. The first two episodes have no opening. The third episode starts with the cuts taken from the light novel covers, before transitioning to using flashbacks and scenes from the first two episodes, to finally showing the fully-animated version in episode 05. Even the "real" opening animation features slight changes between episode 5 and 7, like going from showing just Maou, Ashiya, Emi, and Chiho during the walking sequence, to including Lucifer and Suzuno, incidentally spoiling the latter's identity as the Church Inquisitor. All this is because the studio, for whatever reason, couldn't complete the actual opening on time. The ending placeholder, on the other hand, is initially a reverse replay of the first episode, then transitions to a basic animation taken from the light novels, then goes to a slow pan-up of Chiho while wearing a bikini, sun hat, and semi-transparent sundress (which had been drawn by the director). The final ending sequence that appears in Episode 06 still retains that particular pan-up, but shows a whole lot more montages — including Chiho sitting seemingly naked covered only by a round cushion, as well as wearing a bunny-girl outfit. It's still very much Chiho-centric however. The pan-up in Episode 06 now shows multiple but faint clocks appearing on Chiho's body. The ending credits change again for episode 13, showing slice-of-life moments for the main cast after everything's wrapped up. | |

The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_38119dcf | comment |
Not the Fall That Kills You…: An unconscious Chiho is tossed carelessly to the side by Lucifer from quite a height. Emi manages to catch her and she's fine. Oddly enough, though, the impact breaks Emi's legs. Considering how far away she was and how fast people fall, Emi probably boosted her speed to catch Chiho and didn't think about the effect the impact would have on her human knees. | |

The Fog of Ages: Volume 18 throws a curveball in the Invasion of Heaven scheme by revealing that all angels on Maou's sides seems to have problems remembering the past clearly, given how long each of them lived, when they tried to compare each angels' testimonies for accuracy. This means informations used for the planning are most likely inaccurate. | |

Actor Allusion: Josh Grelle mentioned in a commentary that he used to work in Sonic in Clifton, Texas as a part-timer before he became an actor. And like Mao, he also ran into the broken appliance at one point, which in this case was the griller. Josh also added that his classmates were trying to make fun of him. | |

The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: In episode 5, Olba shoots Maou with a gun. He then explains that he has to conserve his magic power to reopen the gate back to Ente Isla. HE doesn't screw around either, he just shoots people around the heart area and in the leg and tries to pull off pot shots from behind them. In contrast, Lucifer shoots Maou with a beam that creates a large hole in his torso. Which likely would've killed him had Maou not had the foresight to teleport himself and Emi into a large crowd of people to restore his powers through their fear. | |

Is It Something You Eat?: Suzuno asks this when they are about to visit the reptile house in episode 10. She then relates to Chiho a story of how she was invited to eat some down south. Her story is of dubious accuracy, raising questions as to why she would even want to try eating lizards again. This is actually inverted in the novels where Suzuno is actually a big fan of lizard cuisine, enough to weird out Olba. | |

Color-Coded Eyes: Apparently, purple eyes are a racial trait for Angels. Becomes an actual plot point, as later books reveal that angels who are originally humans before the death of their civilization and their immortality treatment keeps their original eye color, while 2nd generation angels and beyond gets purple. Laila notably has red eyes instead - a trait she passed to Emi. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Since Emi and Maou's are not humans in their world (half angel in Emi's case) and possess many abilities such as superhuman speed, strength, and durability among others; becoming humans had led to such shocking revelations as: In the anime, Maou, forgetting that he is human, neglects to eat anything throughout his first day in Japan and ends up passing out from hunger. In the light novel, he has a Post-Victory Collapse and sleeps for three days and nights, and has to be hospitalized because he didn't eat or drink anything. There is no such thing as Talking Is a Free Action and evil monologues are just plain stupid. Emi can't even knock down a door, breaks both her legs catching Chiho as she falls from a great height and learns that if you fall down even 3 feet upside down onto the back of your head it is going to hurt so terribly bad that you will squeeze into a fetal position, hold your head tight with both arms and squeal like a pig. Welcome to being a human in our world. Having no earth education or even papers, you end with low-end jobs and living in medium-low (or sometimes plain poor) salaries after months of hard work. Out of the things Maou learns, the most notable is that BULLETS HURT LIKE HELL and wondering how is it possible for humans to handle so much pain. As a demon he can have holes through his body and not even be bothered. Also, Emi gets fired after being AWOL for one month after she was kidnapped to Ente Isla. Rika can cover the 2 weeks that Emi initially planned to be absent, but a month is just too much. | |

Slow Life Fantasy | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_415aff44 | comment |
Slow Life Fantasy: The work's premise is a humorous inversion; the protagonist is the Maou who once terrorized a fantasy world but finds himself stranded on Earth with low power reserves. Finding himself enjoying life here, he resolves to stay and live the normal life a part-time worker. However, this trope becomes ZigZagged when The Hero follows Maou to this world and asks if he just plans to live a normal life. Maou proclaims that his plan is to somehow work his way up the ladder at his fast-food job and gain enough influence to Take Over the World. However, he remains a normal human in the finale. | |

Agony Beam | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_43fe061e | comment |
Episode 12 is heavy on the action and drama, first with Ashiya being attacked by Olba, then Emi being tortured with an Agony Beam, and later Maou getting beat up rather badly first by Suzuno, then Sariel, before getting some power back and returning the favor to the latter. Like the fifth episode however, it also has its comedy in between to keep the mood from getting too dark, such as Maou taking off his work clothes before fighting to avoid damaging them and having to pay for a replacement pair. | |

What Could Have Been: In universe. Both Maou and Emi occasionally muse on how their lives might have been different if they were born in the (relatively peaceful) mortal world, instead of being thrust into war in their world. They note how well they seem to get along with each other, and speculate that they might have been able to be quite close if they weren't driven to fight each other in their native worlds. | |

Utopia Justifies the Means: The primary source of contention between Emi and Suzuno in Episode 11. Suzuno wants to erase Chiho's memory and destroy all traces of Ente Isla in Japan, but although she agrees to some extent, Emi sides with Chiho against Suzuno because she believes that whatever their ultimate goal may be, it's not worth hurting the people they care about to do it, reasoning that she has to find a way to make everyone happy because that's what heroes do. | |

The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_4f6d87f7 | comment |
Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Albert and Emeralda. Also, Maou and Emi - there's not much of a size difference (if any) when he's human, but as a demon...◊ Also Maou and Chiho - the latter is already much shorter than even human Maou but in his demon form... | |

Smug Snake: The SFC manager across the street from the MgRonalds store Maou and Chiho work at gives off this vibe, which irritates both of them. He later does this to Emi and Rika as well, and both women also get disgusted by his actions. | |

Our Demons Are Different | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_50ed1af4 | comment |
Our Demons Are Different: Ente Islan demons are the descendants of Ente Islan humans that Ignora's angel race experimented on when they first arrived trying to discover how to make themselves immortal. One reason why Maou and Ashiya took human forms on Earth. They also tend to be uninterested and oblivious to sexual depravity and lust, or even romantic attractions. Also, Ente Islan demons tend to be poor, bad with money (with the exception of Alciel) and dislike duplicity. They'd rather be upfront in their evil and fight a good fight face to face. | |

Not What It Looks Like | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_52d1f46e | comment |
Not What It Looks Like: Maou and Emi tend to get into a lot of public spats (usually due to the latter freaking out over one thing or another), which make them look like a couple having an argument. As noted by one of the other entries on this page, Emi usually blushing immediately afterwards only helps strengthen the impression for bystanders. Chiho walks in on them talking in his apartment and runs away crying and the landlady misunderstands the situation. In episode 8, Suzuno inquires more about what Emi's exact relationship is with him. She's shocked to find out the hero doesn't want to outright kill Maou after hearing that he saved a lot of people from Olba and Lucifer's attacks in earlier episodes. | |

Bookends: In the first episode, Maou gives a girl, who later turns out to be his arch-nemesis Emi, his umbrella. In episode 13, she returns the favor to him after he's caught in the rain without one, on the opposite side of the corner where he first gave her his umbrella. The season both begins and ends with a bowl of "khatsu-dum" being eaten. | |

The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_5501256b | comment |
Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated: As part of the Corrupt Church's plans, they proclaimed Emi died in the final assault on Maou. Emi's friend Emeralda, after meeting up with her, has been spreading word to many people this report is false. It runs in the family, apparently. Despite Emilia being driven to avenge her father, it turns out he's not dead after all. Her (literally) angelic mother rescued him and shipped him off to Japan. | |

Corrupt Church | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_5539b84f | comment |
Corrupt Church: The Holy Church of Ente Isla turns out to be one. Their plan was to raise Emilia as a Tyke Bomb and secretly sabotage the war effort so that the fate of the world fell on the shoulders of their chosen "Hero". Then after Emilia defeats Satan, the Church quietly gets rid of her (by faking a Heroic Sacrifice) so that they can take the credit and political influence. They even used Inquisitors to act as their own personal secret police and eliminate anyone who stood in their way. Though High Priest Olba is the chief architect of this, the other higher-ups aren't much better. Things only start to get better after Suzuno took control of the Church at the end of Volume 10. | |

Mistaken for Gay | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_561dab6b | comment |
Mistaken for Gay: Maou and Ashiya with some frequency. Half the time Ashiya acts like a harassed housewife and Maou like a henpecked working husband. Also they've started to get much closer (in a bro-ship manner) and their relationship, while retaining the general undertones, has long since progressed past the boundaries of a regular villain and his loyal dragon. This starts really early on in the manga, when Ashiya and Maou are setting up their family registry. The old couple watching them thinks they're getting married. | |

Fantastic Racism: DEFIED by Maou. The only reason he fought humans in the first place is because they were in the way in his goals. It also help that he's in the situation where he has to work with humans if he is to succeed in world domination. Played straight by Emi. Justified that she lost her father in the war against the demons. Things get complicated when her father is revealed to be alive. | |

Letting the Air Out of the Band: When Emi reveals her true identity and confronts an aghast Maou, and threatens him with death, she pulls out a knife to show she means business. An unimpressed Maou then recognizes it as being a dollar-store (and very small) knife bought from nearby and the music slowly fades out before getting back into gear as she regains her composure and charges at him full tilt with it. Hilarious in that his reaction is not smug or sardonic, he's blank and completely unthreatened by its presence. | |

Enemy Mine: When confronted by the traitorous Lucifer and a power hungry Olba Emi, Maou and Alciel work together to bring them down. They constantly bitch about it during and after the event. Subverted in episode 12, when Olba awakens from a coma and attempts to re-recruit Lucifer, who has taken to filling the role of the token goth roommate since getting his butt handed to him. Lucifer pretends to go along with him in his attempt to give Sariel immense power by summoning a portal to the moon, Sariel's energy source, knowing the sudden sight of the moon being only 100 meters away would cause enough panic to re-energize Satan. After completing this goal, he promptly curb stops Olba's white, wrinkled ass. In episode 8, Suzuno suggests this to Emi, but the latter refuses for a variety of reasons, such as Maou saving people's lives in an earlier attack. | |

The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_5d4359fe | comment |
No Blood for Phlebotinum: Ultimately why Maou led the invasion of human kingdoms: food. Him uniting the demons inadvertedly leading to massive decrease in the feeling of fear in demon population. Since demons survived by converting magic into nutrition and magic is generated by fear, demons would eventually starve in roughly 5 centuries due to amount of magic available decreasing, and since demons don't have their own agricultural program much less them knowing that they can survive with conventional food...thus the focus on conquering human population: they hope that ruling over the humans would have them generate enough fear to solve the issue. | |

Satan Is Good: The original Satan (who the main character is named for) seems to have been an angel who rebelled against his wife, the current leader of the angels and the apparent Big Bad. He failed to stop her, but was such an intimidating figure that among angels he's basically an Un-person and even fragmentary knowledge about him is enough to mark one for death. | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_62f9d08e | comment |
Freeze-Frame Bonus: In episode three, if you go frame by frame through the collapsing tunnel scene you see magical barriers going up around the people as Maou protects them. In episode eleven, during a casual attempt to get out of work, Urushihara stops for a moment to pick up his shoes but instead is shown picking up Suzuno's sandals. If you pause during the brief shot of the pile of shoes by the door you can see a small tracking device in Urushihara's hand. The gestures and body language of the characters is well animated. Some of these occur in less than half a second. During the lunchbox scene, pay attention to Chiho's expressions and how she throws herself across the table to grab, yank and then shake Maou. Emi is a powerhouse of expressions to the point where you can read the escalating stages of "pissed off" she's going through in a single moment. | |

Alciel leaps back and attempts to use magic on them, loudly proclaiming that he'll never go with them. After his spell fails, there's a Beat and the scene cuts to the pair in the back of the police car. | |

Kyu and Dan Ranks | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_692c218b | comment |
Chiho holds a 1st dan rank in kyūdō, or Japanese archery, which is referenced by her brief archery scene in the OP animation. This becomes useful in Volume 5 when Laila, at least partially possessing Chiho, forged an energy bow to take advantage of Chiho's archery skill, or in Volume 16 when she enters an archery competition in Ente Isla. | |

Volume 8 serves as this later in the novel, but even then it didn't stop the comedy, at least on Maou side. Emi's side not so much. | |

Fantasy Gun Control | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_6bcfbc7e | comment |
Fantasy Gun Control: Not straight example but related: one part of the Analysis/FantasyGunControl page mentioned a justification for that trope by saying that guns aren't common due to prevalence of magic...but what if that extends to all ranged weapons and not just guns? We get Ente Isla. The prevalence of defense-boosting magic which makes bows hard to pierce, and that the level training required to be good at bows takes mostly equivalent amount of time to learn holy magic, which has more firepower and flexibity, means that conventional ranged weapons are rendered obsolete on Ente Isla. Even the best of Northerner archers, who use them the most both for hunting and warfare, still have their skill level much lower than Chiho, who is mererly a skilled amateur on Earth, let alone professional hunters or sport shooters. After Chiho's participation in the competition in the Northern Continent, Din Dem Urs decides to intensify the archery training for Northerners, since when Maou and Emi finished releasing the Sephirahs, magic will be either mostly or completely gone, and they will have massive head start in post-magic ranged warfare. | |

Grey-and-Gray Morality: Emi and her closest allies are genuinely heroic while Maou's greatest moral failing is his inability to lead his forces properly, causing them to go out of control against civilian targets. There are very few genuinely bad people in the cast. Even the church can be argued to be just trying to keep order in Ente Isla. The worst character would probably be Olba, given his lust for power in order to become an angel. Even the Big Bad Ignora is an Well-Intentioned Extremist. | |

Played for Laughs in Episode 5, when Maou claims some lines Olba says wouldn't even be mentioned in a B-movie anymore. Ashiya immediately asks him where he had money to spend on movies, and Maou quietly pouts that he can do whatever he wants with his pocket money, which causes his friend to threaten cutting off his pocket change for that month since he's been working hard, saving money, and hasn't spent a dime on himself like that since they've been on Earth. | |

Adaptation Explanation Extrication: Those orange orbs the store clerk throws at Emi's masked attacker in episode 7 aren't fruit, as might be assumed from the way they splatter. The light novel exposits they're anti-crime balls that stain a thief's skin and smell terrible for days. However, this explanation was discarded from the anime, meaning that viewers unfamiliar with the (very real) "anti-crime balls" will mistake Sarue's overly large aviator shades and heavy cologne use as weird personal quirks. | |

"Rashomon"-Style: Very briefly. We see the original war at the very start of the series from largely human perspective: Demons fighting humans and demons killing villagers. Emi has a flashback about how her father's village was destroyed. However, we later get a different interpretation from Ashiya's perspective as he relates a mundane version of the situation to Rika. To him, the demons were the underdog struggling to survive while Emi represented a larger, stronger group that eventually crushed them with resources. From his perspective, Emi's group had no malice but his group was doing nothing wrong, making them more rivals than anything. His view of events can be rather telling when it comes to interpreting his actions and attitudes. | |

And it turns out that not only did Maou not kill her father, he isn't actually dead at all. Suzuno starts having second doubts about her mission to kill the demon king as well when she starts to notice Maou doesn't act like a bad guy at all on Earth. | |

The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_86ba007a | comment |
Bad Powers, Good People: Subverted. You'd think that being an ancient and powerful demon literally powered by fear would be difficult to translate into heroics, but as is quickly made apparent, fear is abundant in any situation where people would need somebody like Maou to save them. | |

The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: Episode 4, when Lucifer, one of Satan's generals, reveals himself on Earth. Near the end of Episode 7, Emi is attacked by a cloaked assailant, who also gains the upper hand on her by nullifying her magic sword. Episode 11, when the aforementioned assailant, revealed to be the Archangel Sariel, overwhelms, and captures Emi, with Suzuno following his orders. Volume 8: Emi, who is supposed to only be away to Ente Isla for 2 weeks, doesn't return. Then an angel and a demon attack Chiho's school and another angel and the Heavenly Regiment attack Villa Rosa Sasazuka. Volume 15: The gang decides to help Laila invade Heaven, causing living situation in Japan to change considerably due to most occupants in Villa Rosa Sasazuka moving back to Ente Isla with the primary exception of Maou and by extension Acieth Alla. Most of the former occupants are now more like guests who come over once every few days. | |

The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_8e92e125 | comment |
Lawyer-Friendly Cameo: Wagahara likes using thinly-veiled riffs on real shows and video game series to flesh out the pop culture of his world: Quaking Mad is a popular TV drama. In Vol. 3, Maou and Emi take their young ward Alas Ramus to see a stage show crossover between Ninja-themed spandex-clad heroes who pilot transforming robots and the mega-popular magical girl franchise Pretty and Pure. Vol. 4 adds Poketures—short for "Pocket Creatures"— and MonsterRancher to the roster of in-universe media franchises. The anime gets in on this too: Holy Potter. Suzuno used to watch Lone Lion and Cub, among other things. | |

Chiho does this a few times. In Episode 11, Suzuno breaks down in tears after Emi decides to side with Chiho — both girls she came to trust — in sparing Maou, at least for the moment. | |

Art Shift: Happens to Chiho briefly in episode 8 when Suzuno says she's looking for a job, and Maou innocently suggests she work with him and Chiho at MgRonalds. During the transition, she also develops Dull Eyes of Unhappiness. The scene basically plays out such that the quality of art by which she's drawn drops each time she hears something that makes her unhappy. In episode 9, the art style changed to sketch-like shots when Ashiya is "explaining" to Rika about he and Maou's relationship with Emi. | |

Apocalypse How | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_91e894b4 | comment |
Apocalypse How: The roles of Sephirahs are to prevent these from happening to species they're shepherding. One also happened to the Angel's original civilization, where a world war destroyed everyone after they fought each other over the immortality cure that would prevent their deaths from a global epidemic. The Sephrahs tried to attack the research base and destroy the immortality research, but Satanael's intimate familiarity with their genetic structure means they're eventually overpowered by him and Camael (though they managed to kill a lot of the staff). And the news of the attack ends up triggering the world war that destroyed the civilization due to information mutation. | |

Heel–Face Revolving Door: Lucifer was originally one of Maou's generals, then shows up with Olba on Earth to kill him. After Lucifer's defeat, Maou accepts him back rather easily. Once Olba returns, he goes to Lucifer to team up against Maou again, and Lucifer appears to agree at first. However, Lucifer turns on Olba after using him to help Maou gain the upper hand in his own fight, making this a subversion of this trope. | |

Unwitting Instigator of Doom | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_99ddfcec | comment |
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Emi's mother, Laila. Much of the problems affecting Ente Isla in the present day can be traced directly or indirectly to something she did. The foremost example being her saving the life of a lowly footsoldier in the demon armies, whom she then educated in politics, diplomacy, and warfare. The same lowly footsoldier would soon rapidly rise up the demonic hierarchy, eventually turning into the greatest threat Ente Isla had seen in three centuries: Satan Jacob. The Sephirahs' attack on the Angel research base, meant to destroy the immortality treatment research in order to defuse global tension, ends up triggering the death of original Angel cilivization because the news of their attack got mutated and the supporting nations thought the other nations attacked the base in order to sieze the research for themselves, triggering a world war. | |

Villains Out Shopping: The premise of the series, basically. Satan and two of his generals, rather than rampaging and trying to Take Over the World on arriving on Earth, instead settle down and find a cheap place to live. Satan's stated goal is still world domination, but he intends to do that by climbing the corporate ladder, which starts with being a part-timer at a fast food restaurant. | |

Foreshadowing | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Often but very subtle In episode 7 Emi drops several hints during her first encounter with Suzuno including considering the possibility of her being an assassin from Ente Isla, which she is. Also hinting at Suzuno's identity, in the original Japanese script Emi asks Suzuno "are you after Maou" which she interprets to mean after him to kill him resulting in a pretty big misunderstanding. In the English dub however, the line was changed and the misunderstanding removed causing a minor inconsistency later. Still in episode 7, Urushihara looks at one of Emi's energy drinks and says if she keeps drinking that stuff she will wind up like Ashiya who is sick with what appears to be heatstroke. Since the bottle actually contains Celestial Force, this hints at the true cause of Ashiya's illness, as well as the fact that Urushihara already figured out the bottle's contents. In a more petty example, at the back end of Volume 6 of the Manga, one of the gag comics has Suzuno wanting to buy a TV as the punchline. At the start of Volume 7... Maou is thinking of buying a TV. | |

Featureless Plane of Disembodied Dialogue: The light novels, in their English translation, do not use dialogue tags. A reader must parse the following paragraph and figure out who the speaker is. Sometimes, however, there is no following paragraph, leaving the reader confused and bewildered who is talking. One egregious example happens at the beginning of book 3, when Maou and Suzuno are trying to impress each other with their knowledge of the Obon tradition. Halfway through, Chiho enters the conversation, but we don't find that out for another page and a half, making the back and forth utterly incomprehensible to attribute. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: During the fifth episode, the story takes a much more serious turn, but to keep things from getting too heavy the story makes sure to pull out its usual humor every now and then, flipping the story between drama and comedy quite quickly. In episode 11, the masked attacker shows up again, and delivers a Curb-Stomp Battle to Emi. Suzuno also seems to be helping him, although all she seems to do is keep Chiho from interfering/getting hurt. Episode 12 is heavy on the action and drama, first with Ashiya being attacked by Olba, then Emi being tortured with an Agony Beam, and later Maou getting beat up rather badly first by Suzuno, then Sariel, before getting some power back and returning the favor to the latter. Like the fifth episode however, it also has its comedy in between to keep the mood from getting too dark, such as Maou taking off his work clothes before fighting to avoid damaging them and having to pay for a replacement pair. Volume 15 is this incarnate. The Prologue shows Chiho and Rika coming to a completely empty Villa Rosa Sasazuka, with Chiho tersely and depressingly stated that everyone went back to Ente Isla in order to fulfill Laila's plan, and given that every room is completely empty, it seems like everyone left for good, with Rika even crying. Then the Epilogue comes, Chiho suddenly rips apart tatami mat in Maou's room and made a Gate, drops herself and Rika into the Gate and ends up appearing in Ente Isla. Then Chiho and Maou revealed that Laila and Gabriel made everyone a feather pen so they can freely travel back and forth between Earth and Ente Isla (accounting for 40 minute one-way travel time). And the reason why Chiho sounds terse and depressed earlier? She was sleepy from waking up early, and it got quite cold in Japan. Rika is so exasperated by this she demands her tears and serious feelings back. | |

You Don't Look Like You: What causes much strife for Emi and Suzuno towards Maou. As they have been informed over and over again, that he (and by account all demons) are horrible creatures that only find joy in death and bloodshed of humans, only to see Maou (and any other demon with him) being upstanding citizens, caring to the people around them, using their magic to help others instead of selfish gain, and that he volunteers for neighborhood clean up. Both Emi and Suzuno have had freak outs as they suffered from Black-and-White Insanity. | |

Dream Intro: The last episode opens with both Emilia and Chiho having bad dreams involving Satan. In Emilia's dream, Satan regains his full power and declares his intentions to resume his world-conquering ways, while in Chiho's dream, Maou Sadou informs her that he has to return to his own world. | |

Obfuscating Stupidity | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_a7aef9ff | comment |
Obfuscating Stupidity: At least in the anime, Maou seems like a typical oblivious-to-love Slice-of-Life/Harem series protagonist. However, he was Genre Savvy enough (due to B movies, primarily) to avert Talking Is a Free Action during major fight scenes. And while he acts oblivious-to-love, after Chiho makes an active declaration of how she feels about Maou he thinks to himself that he can't continue playing dumb (although he does still obfuscate some stupidity). Thirdly, he ties his genre savvy into his life by realizing shortly after their meeting that Suzuno is actually from Ente Isla because that sort of Contrived Coincidence doesn't just happen. He learns quickly, and keeps those lessons close to his heart even if he continues to present himself as a typical anime idiot. | |

Adaptational Jerkass: In the first light novel, when Emilia confronts Maou about killing her father, he says he was too busy dealing with internal affairs to watch over what his forces were doing, which is why he takes responsibility for Lucifer at the end. However, the only part the anime kept was him saying he "didn't really understand" humans, taking him from a beleaguered ruler into Blue-and-Orange Morality territory. | |

Soundtrack Dissonance: The anime loves playing really dramatic music. Given who the characters are and what was going on before the story got going, you can tell it's music that would fit the war that was going on beforehand. Now? Now it's when Alciel attempts to cast magic and instead calls a taxi or when Maou boasts about his plan to conquer Japan by becoming a full time employee at MgRonalds. | |

Fish out of Water | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_af696bef | comment |
Fish out of Water: Everyone from Ente Isla adapts quite fast to life in Japan, and not in the Villains Blend in Better or Like a Duck Takes to Water ways: they go completely native. It helps that there are time skips during their adjustment phase but it's implied they do take well to their new lives (albeit with a naivety concerning subtle details of daily modern life). Played very straight with Suzuno, who is not only a fish out of water but a fish out of temporal water as well. This severely complicates her adjustment compared to the others. She argues with a train station gate insistently blocking her way and stereotypically freaks out about a flatscreen tv having "tiny people" in it. Even after being corrected, she's shown to be hard-locked into some habits such as speaking Japanese in a very old, formal and traditional style and wearing kimonos (she still buys more kimonos during a shopping spree when told about western clothes and given magazines about them). This just seems to be her personal preference however. This is partly justified since, in order to prepare herself for Japan she studied historical dramas. | |

The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_b032e4ed | comment |
The ending placeholder, on the other hand, is initially a reverse replay of the first episode, then transitions to a basic animation taken from the light novels, then goes to a slow pan-up of Chiho while wearing a bikini, sun hat, and semi-transparent sundress (which had been drawn by the director). The final ending sequence that appears in Episode 06 still retains that particular pan-up, but shows a whole lot more montages — including Chiho sitting seemingly naked covered only by a round cushion, as well as wearing a bunny-girl outfit. It's still very much Chiho-centric however. The pan-up in Episode 06 now shows multiple but faint clocks appearing on Chiho's body. The ending credits change again for episode 13, showing slice-of-life moments for the main cast after everything's wrapped up. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: In episode 13/a short story in Volume 7, Lucifer ends up buying a lot of items which Maou's apartment has no use for, nor can he fit inside, such as seven beds. He tries to return the items, but the business owner refuses to take them back, since they were legally purchased. As Maou and Ashiya try to figure out what to do since he now owes a lot of money for those items, Emi asks how old Lucifer is considered in human years. After Maou tells her, she gives him a way out, by telling him about "cooling off". Since Lucifer is technically under Maou's guardianship, he's not allowed to spend that much without Maou's approval, so they utilize that loophole to get the business owner to take the items back and not owe him any money. | |

Made funnier when the identity of the masked man is revealed. It's Sariel. The archangel Sariel fell for a closed glass door. Even worse, he's a first generation angel- he was born & raised on a modern/sci-fi world. Unlike most of our Fish Outof Water cast. He knows what a dang automatic door is! | |

Too Dumb to Live: Although generally rather intelligent, Ashiya definitely comes off as this after The Reveal that he knew who Suzuno was. He and the other demons all knew she was from Ente Isla, and they quickly figured out she was preparing their food with celestial force, which is poisonous to demons. But while Maou and Urushihara tried to avoid the food and ate only enough to seem polite, Ashiya willingly ate so much of it that he ended up in the hospital... because he didn't want to waste food. | |

Hypocritical Humor: During the fight in episode 5, Ashiya knocks Olba into a building. He then asks why Emi teamed up with a demon, and is immediately called out by the others as he's working with Lucifer. Even Lucifer called him out. In episode 6, Emi pays a visit at Maou's restaurant, saying she wants to talk to him. He tells her that disturbing him at work is extremely rude, which causes her to immediately call him out on this, as he had called her while she was at work the day before. Another possibility: HE was calling HER out on doing what she criticized him for. | |

Harem Genre | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_b7822ca7 | comment |
Harem Genre: The second book/second half of the anime gets increasingly haremesque—not only does Maou have a Clingy Jealous Girl pursuing him and bucketloads of Belligerent Sexual Tension with his sworn enemy, but a stately and demure young woman named Suzuno moves in next to him and essentially becomes his cook. Subverted Trope. Suzuno is an assassin trying to kill Maou and is worming her way into his good graces. Thanks to his Obfuscating Stupidity, Maou realizes this right away and quips that that sort of thing never happens in real life, yet he lets Suzuno cook for him anyway. However, by Volume 16 this trope is being played a lot straighter, with Suzuno not giving up on her feelings for Maou even if he preemptively shut down her confession back in Volume 9, and Emi is starting to act on her feelings and even secretly gives Maou Valentine chocolate. Chiho is still Chiho, and would continue her quest even though she knew that Emi and Suzuno are also on the same path. | |

When Maou tries to say he's going to go back to world conquest, Emi then points out not only how he'd never do it now, but then what would he do after? What were his goals after his conquest. However, before Maou can answer with an angry tirade, he is trapped in a dimensional bubble by Farfarello and Erone which effectively ends the discussion. | |

Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male | |

Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: After Maou catches Emi when the latter falls down the stairs at his apartment, he calls her clumsy, prompting her to viciously punch him, followed shortly by a brutal kneeing to his face. However, in this case, Emi doesn't escape unscathed, as he was holding her at the time, and when he drops her, she lands on her upper back and head in a rather painful manner. Though her hitting him has less to do with gender, and more to do with him being a demon who conquered her homeland. In Vol 3., Emi tries to chop Maou to pieces because he mocked her for being flat-chested. He's only saved when the golden apple he's clutching sprouts arms and blocks it.

The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_c313d43a | comment |
True Companions: While the group refuses to admit it, especially Emi and Maou about each other, the group does care about each other due to working together to protect Japan from the various forces of Ente Isla invading. This is shown when Emi goes missing in Ente Isla, not only are Suzuno and Chiho depressed but even Maou and Ashiya are worried as well. | |

I Lied: In episode 12, Lucifer runs into Olba again. The latter offers to work together again, and Lucifer agrees to it. However, he tricks Olba into summoning the moon closer to get Sariel into a false sense of security, and helps Suzuno cause panic on the streets to give Maou some magical power, then knocks out Olba and ties him up once he's got Emi's bag back. | |

The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_c5594984 | comment |
Tokyo Is the Center of the Universe: Of all the places Satan landed, it has to be Shibuya! This goes double for the others like Laila, who has been in Tokyo for far longer than Maou or Emi, and still had the two end up in the same city. Nord and Acieth at least has an excuse that Laila sent them to Tokyo since she already lives there and has enough resource set up for the two. | |

Shout-Out | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Besides being a Bland-Name Product stand-in, Docodemo (meaning "wherever/anywhere" in Japanese) is usually associated with a certain robotic cat called Doraemon and his pocket space-time gate. Episode 1 of the anime features an bilboard for something called Holy Potter. In the English dub of episode 7, when Suzuno is helping make a meal at Maou's loft, she and Lucifer have this exchange. Happened before in episode 4, when Emi tells off Maou when he's trying to help her, eliciting an understated "Excuse me, Princess!" The same episode has Miki claiming that the Triang Relations is "syrupy enough to cause the diabeetus". An annoyed Alciel complains about the idea of their meals being MgRonalds leftovers for the rest of the month and mentions Super Size Me when going on about how unhealthy that is. While standing outside of Chiho's school in episode 6 of the anime English dub, Alciel warns Maou that "one does not simply walk into a high school one does not attend and start exploring the place." After Lucifer betrays Olba rather than betraying Maou he says "Heaven is a Place on Earth" and rejects the offer to be allowed back into Heaven for helping the priest. When Emi, Suzuko, and Rika are eating in the MgRonald's, Emi starts ranting about how bad Maou is. Ashiya, eavesdropping nearby, slams his fist on the table and shouts "I WOULD NOT SAY SUCH THINGS IF I WERE YOU," straight from The Princess Bride. In Episode 10 A circus Monkey causes havok when he steals the keys at a zoo, similar to Dexter in Night at the Museum The shop window that shows Chiho reflections of all of the Ente Isla characters near the end of the second end credits sequence is a facsimile of the Gutiok Panja bakery from Kiki's Delivery Service, complete with Kiki's distinctive circular sign between the window and the door. It's difficult to make out without pausing the video because the sign is virtually edge-on to the viewer. Maou at one point in the English dub calls the Internet a magical series of tubes. In Volume 4, when Alas Ramus is chasing a demon stuck in chicken form around a room, the author mentions a "certain Great Dane and his lanky pal pursuing a spooky space alien around a haunted house." In Volume 4, Urushihara greets an opening portal with the line, "They're heeere!" Volume 5 compares Urashihara uncharacteristically leaving a room in a hurry with Jabba the Hutt leaving his lair and becoming a triathlete. In Volume 5, Suzuno makes a quip about "the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune." When chiding a demon lackey in volume 6, Maou compares the demon lackey's speech patterns to Smithers and then, when their conversation about baseball goes awry, laments that it's going to turn into Who's on First?. | |

Cool Starship: The Devil's Castle (the one on Central Continent, not Villa Rosa Sasazuka) is actually a spaceship that Satanael stole from Heaven when he rebelled. Maou used it to crash into the Central Continent during his invasion, and it's being repaired to operational capacity when he agrees with Laila to invade Heaven. | |

Mundane Made Awesome: Ashiya attempts to use magic when he and Maou first land on Earth. Although he tries to make it dramatic, to the cops, it just looks like he's cosplaying. Emi threatens to take down Maou when they first have a serious conversation in a very Large Ham fashion. She then pulls out a really tiny knife, which he isn't threatened by in the least (he even blankly reveals that he knows where she bought it: at the local Japanese equivalent of a dollar store). Maou talking about incinerating and enjoying eating something at the beginning of episode 6, only to then reveal that he and Ashiya were at a restaurant. The latter points out that the former's weirdness was freaking out the other customers. The intro has an over-animated scene of Ashiya chopping vegetables and shaking dirt out of a pair of boxer shorts. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Downplayed when Maou is vehemently threatened by Emi, due to the particular contents of the threat, he responds "That's not very heroic." Played for Laughs in Episode 5, when Maou claims some lines Olba says wouldn't even be mentioned in a B-movie anymore. Ashiya immediately asks him where he had money to spend on movies, and Maou quietly pouts that he can do whatever he wants with his pocket money, which causes his friend to threaten cutting off his pocket change for that month since he's been working hard, saving money, and hasn't spent a dime on himself like that since they've been on Earth. Reversed as What the Hell Villain? Emi is at her wits' end as Maou is more like the good guy than the bad guy, even goes out of his way to make certain others are safe, even helping her, his sworn enemy. She's been raised to hate and kill him, yet he's doing more good on Earth than she (the supposed Hero). He's supposed to be the BAD GUY! What's going on?! Lucifer gets called out on this too in Episode 6, when he has Maou and Ashiya investigate Chiho's school about a rumor that they could restore their magical power in an abandoned classroom. Turns out that it was where Lucifer and Olba stayed for a while. He had simply forgotten his handheld game console there, and wanted them to pick it back up for him. Ashiya suggests selling it to make some money, but they ultimately give it back to him, on the condition that he can only play it one hour a day. Emi gets called out after destroying a health class mannequin with her sacred sword. Chiho and Suzuno have a heated argument in Episode 11 regarding Maou. Suzuno wants to kill Maou, but Chiho is against it, and they both argue about the various things he did, such as: Controlling the alligators to prevent them from attacking humans in Episode 10, fixing the highway in Episode 5, or had his armies do, in the case of Ente Isla. Emi intervenes as well, but ultimately sides with Chiho rather than Suzuno. Maou gets more upset at Suzuno in Episode 12 that she destroyed his bike accidentally than the fact that she was trying to kill him, or at least stop him from interfering with Sariel. During Mao, Emi and Laila's first meeting, Emi attacks Laila, who hides behind her husband. Emi storms off in anger and Mao refuses to listen to anything she has to say until the two make up, pointing out that Emi wanted her mother to face her head on and honestly for once, but she ruined it by taking cover behind someone else. | |

World Tree: The Tree of Sephiroths are this. They're giant space trees that wander space until they found a planet with advanced enough lifeforms. They then set up shop on the planet's moon, living in symbiotic relationship with their selected species where they fed on the spiritual power of the chosen species while fostering civilization and give protection against extinction-level events to their chosen species. Eventually each Tree will create the final Sephirah, who launched themselves into space, possibly becoming a new Tree. | |

Translation Convention: For the first section of the first episode, Satan and Alciel still don't know Japanese, but the dialogue still switches to that rather than the cyphered English they were speaking before. When attempting to lease an apartment you can hear Satan's actual attempts at Japanese: His accent is awful. After this, he apparently becomes completely fluent in the language. | |

I Hate You Angel Mom: Considering Laila's manipulation of events in order to keep the Sephirot out of Ente Isla's version of Heaven's hands, it's not surprising that Emi doesn't have the best opinion of her mother anymore. Lucifer is this to a lesser extent: he resented his mother Ignora for abandoning him in Demon World, however, that happened so long ago that he didn't consider it to be that important anymore. Still, he won't mind if his mother is killed during invasion of Heaven, the operation which he eventually joined willingly. | |

Beat: Used several times when Alciel and Satan first arrive on Earth. Alciel tries to use some powerful magic or something with a dramatic pose. The scene then pulls back slightly to show that nothing happens. The second time this was preceded by some ominous music, which cut out during the beat to further play up the silliness. When Maou finally reveals the second deck of the lunch box to Chiho, everything goes dead quiet. | |

Lucifer pretends to go along with him in his attempt to give Sariel immense power by summoning a portal to the moon, Sariel's energy source, knowing the sudden sight of the moon being only 100 meters away would cause enough panic to re-energize Satan. After completing this goal, he promptly curb stops Olba's white, wrinkled ass. | |

Sympathetic P.O.V. | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_e7db27c7 | comment |
Sympathetic P.O.V.: The more serious part of the series is drawing back from a standard fantasy setup, showing that while Emilia is really heroic, not all her allies are, and Maou, her arch nemesis, is roughly morally equal to her. From the demon point of view, as explained by Ashiya, they viewed humans more like rivals than enemies and were struggling to survive. | |

Brain Bleach | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_e7fd5cdc | comment |
Brain Bleach: Miki-T sends Maou a photo of herself in a bikini. Maou and the audience are spared from the horror, but Lucifer faints upon seeing it and Ashiya vomits uncontrollably. Maou scolds them for being weak, but when made to see it himself he takes it out of the envelope with slow zoom-in and ominous music more befitting for an eldritch abomination's artifact. Then he decides to change the subject. Ashiya attempts to weaponize it against whatever enemies may await them in the forbidden classroom scene, but fortunately he never gets the opportunity to do so. Another letter with a photo arrives from the landlady through Suzuno. When she mentions it and starts pulling it out to give them, time slows down (with her voice getting distorted) and colors fail as we switch to Maou's and Ashiya's growing horrified expressions. The subbers even lampshade this by showing only part of the sentence when she starts and revealing the rest only when she actually says the words and reveals the letter. The end of the sentence is even translucent and faded where its spoken equivalent is distorted by time slowing down. In Volume 4 it's revealed she had sent a video tape to the apartment, however due to a combination of fear and lack of a VHS player it was wrapped up and hidden away, only to be found again some time later. When he eventually watches the video it appears to simply be Miki-T informing them about the situation, at which point he phones the number she gave him. After the phone call, however, it's revealed the tape was left running, and she proceeds to demonstrate a dance form she's been learning in Egypt: Belly Dancing. | |

No Ending | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_ea2e9f2d | comment |
No Ending: The anime lasted for a single season and concluded with a relatively innocuous episode about Maou and Emi tidying up after Lucifer's bad spending habits, with a bit of Ship Tease thrown in. There's no real conclusion to the character arcs or the situation in Ente Isla. Internet reviewer Arkada opines this was intentionally a "Read the Manga Ending", and the anime was essentially just a marketing tactic for the light novel series. | |

Who Wants to Live Forever?: Gabriel described life in Heaven as being completely without any drive. With immortal life comes people who lost any drive to work. He described it akin to Nauru people getting money from the government during their phosphate boom, so they didn't need to work in order to live, but after the economy crashed due to running out of phosphate deposit, the people still didn't start to work again, because they lived too long with luxury. | |

All Just a Dream: Both Emi and Chiho have these in episode 13: Chiho sees Maou leaving Earth for Ente Isla, and he refuses to let her go with him. Emi, meanwhile, sees everyone at her workplace disappear, followed shortly by Maou appearing in the sky, having taken over the city. He then announces plans to conquer Greenland, referencing a joke from an earlier episode where he'd be sent there if their store failed against the SFC store. | |

Big Damn Heroes: Maou pulls this off a couple of times, first with the fight against Lucifer, later at the amusement park when he took control of the alligators to prevent them from attacking humans, and against Sariel in episode 12. During Volume 4, the demons are working at a beach house but Maou grossly underestimates the amount of manpower required to run it. Emi, Chiho, and Suzuno save the day by showing up to help in swimsuits. In Volume 10, Maou and Acieth managed to pull this off with a scooter, of all things, in order to break up Emilia and Alciel's fight. | |

Locked Out of the Loop: Rika, in episode 9, attempts to pry some information out of Emi regarding her exact relationship with Maou. Ashiya ends up explaining the gist of the history between Maou, Emi, and himself as though they were longtime professional rivals and Emi was partly responsible for the failure of a company he and Maou tried to start together - an explanation which is accurate enough to satisfy Rika's curiosity. Chiho to a lesser extent. Although she knows a little about Ente Isla from Maou and Emi, she's initially unaware that Suzuno is also from there. Status Quo Is God: Things stay like this for eight books, until Rika finally forces the issue when Emi suddenly disappears without a word, apparently taking Arras Ramus with her.Then Emi suddenly sent and Idea Link to her. Much like Chi-chan, she takes the revelations quite well. | |

Running Gag | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: When not on her job, Emi is determined to carry out her vigil (read: stalk) on Maou and co. She constantly runs into him performing mundane or innocent actions with the assumption that he's up to no good. Wherever Maou goes, it's safe to assume Emi is not too far away. Alciel acting like a harassed loyal housewife. He saves money secretly, does the housework, avoids spending for his own leisure, manages expenses and purchases, often scolds Maou and Lucifer for wasteful spending, actively seeks opportunities to save (even at the cost to his honor and pride without hesitation) and even keeps an eye on all the bargains and discounts that are both active and seasonal. Even when gravely wounded from a gunshot to the chest, his last words for Maou before passing out are to take advantage of the month-start bargains were he to expire. Chiho's misunderstandings about women going after Maou. Justified because to an outside observer, Emi looks like a stalker, and that bento Suzuno gave him was certainly well-prepared. Maou may be empathetic, good-natured, caring and dedicated but he can't help occasionally indulging in his Overlord tendencies when given the least bit of opportunity. Emi and Ashiya are only a little bit behind him in this regard. Ashiya even goes as far to retrieve his attire as Maou's general after being healed from near-death and bestowed a level of magic power before launching into the fight. They do come from a world where Hammy behavior is the norm (and serious business) for people of their status and ability. People falling down the stairs of Maou's apartment. Emi's envy of Chiho's larger endowments crops up every few episodes | |

"Friends" Rent Control | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_fb4c41b4 | comment |
"Friends" Rent Control: Maou's apartment is pretty small, but of the two (later three) people living in it, only one is employed, and he has a part-time job at a fast food restaurant. Possibly justified when it's revealed that the landlady knew what they were from the beginning and was sympathetic to their plight. In fact, Laila also gets discount rent just like the trio in another one of Miki-T's apartment. Emi's apartment is much nicer than Maou, and while her job pays better than Maou's it still shouldn't be enough for the rent. Volume 14 justifies by saying that her apartment complex was caught in a substandard construction scandal that results in the company slashing price to try and pull in customers who had lost their trust. | |

He then tells her that it's a lot busier here than in the store they normally work at, and as he goes on about the work, she increasingly becomes irritated at his Oblivious to Love mentality (which Emi calls him out on moments later), showing off some Dull Eyes of Unhappiness shortly afterwards. | |

Cast from Lifespan | |
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! / int_ff074ad4 | comment |
Cast from Lifespan: On Ente Isla, Holy magic is being powered by both the lifespan of Tree of Sephirot and lifespan of human species itself, and the overuse of holy magic is resulting both declining birth rate (and more unhealthy babies) and the Tree of Sephirot dying. With the confinement of Tree of Sephirot by angels causing Medieval Stasis by making humans rely on magic, if humans on Ente Isla faced extinction-level events in the future when the Tree dies, they will have no magic, no Sephirahs defending them, no technology to fall back to, nor population growth rate to help repopulate the species. This is something Laila is trying to fix. | |

At one point, after Maou regains his power, Emilia sits there thinking about how he plans to deal with Lucifer. In the background, you can hear Maou futilely trying to get her attention while she completely fails to pay attention until he starts outright yelling at her to listen since they have more important things to worry about. | |

Perpetual Poverty: Maou and Ashiya, unfortunately. Emi's only a little better off (to her initial chagrin when she realizes her day is about the same as theirs). | |
