Entering her dilapidated village, the villagers immediately scorn Aku for returning. Kunai’s goal is to head to the capital but Aku hopes he could stop by her village so he could get some of her stuffs. She has weakened tremendously after all the wishes and just gives Kunai an irremovable curse-like ring on his finger before disintegrating. However the being is already on her last leg. Kunai demands answers if he was being summoned here (those dead people wanted a Demon Lord so Greole was released and got what’s coming) and if he can be returned to his world. Upon reaching, Kunai sees lots of dead bodies. It is also a place where wishes are granted. Kunai carries Aku as they make their way to the Wishing Shrine, supposedly the place where Cherub sealed Greole. That’s why she is so touched when ironically a Demon Lord like him treats her so nicely. After being bullied for so long, they tried to sacrifice her to Greole. He then hears Aku’s sad story that her village hates her. Kunai realizes he can still pull down an interface and check his stats and use some admin privileges. One of the angels known as Cherub sealed Greole in the past. She explains this land is called Holy Light. Easily Kunai defeats it! Aku fears him because he is stronger than this demon and is going to eat her! He must be the Demon Lord! Kunai assures he isn’t. What’s with the getup like a mafia boss?! Before he could make sense of things, a young girl, Aku is seen running away from a demon, Greole. But when it crosses that deadline, he finds himself in a different world and his body is now different! Why does this opening plot sound all too familiar? He realizes he looks like Hakuto Kunai, the Demon Lord of Infinity Game. Akira Oono as one of its creators is sad and is sticking around for one last hurrah. The popular online game, Infinity Game is going to shut down its server after 15 years. Now you tell him how that is not a rip-off of Overlord?! Overlord, Retry?!!! And when the time comes, he finds himself inside the game world! As a Demon Lord! He tries to make sense of his new surroundings as well as his new overpowered abilities, helping the local kingdom from its crisis while trying to find a way back. During the final moments of being shut down forever, the creator plays the game one last time for nostalgia’s sake. Maou-sama Retrystarts off with that suspicious premise of a long running popular game now shutting off its servers. Instead of giving us the fourth season of Overlord, we got yet another one of those ubiquitous isekai genres.
