How not to Summon a Demon Lord is a great hit in the Isekai fantasy genre and was adapted from light novels by Yukiya Murasaki. The anime first premiered in June 2018 with 10 episodes and then cracked the records with its 2nd season in 2021.
“Isekai maou to shoukan shoujo no dorei majutsu” is an adventurous story of a man summoned from the real world to a fantasy world and was granted phenomenal magical powers up to the level of a demon lord.
So it goes without saying that he is an overwhelmingly powerful protagonist and can make his opponent taste the dust off the ground with just one of his spells.
So, in this blog, we’ll explain the main plot of “How Not to Summon a Demon Lord” and talk about the new characters from Season 2. We will also help you figure out how our fearsome demon lord ended up in the series.
The Main Storyline of The Series!
In the anime, How not to Summon a Demon Lord, Takuma Sakamoto, is a former Cross Reverie player who once controlled the true Demon King, Diablo. He never backed down from a fight, even when facing opponents with incredible prowess.
However, one day, he was summoned to another world and reincarnated as Diablo, the video game character he used to control in the Cross Reverie.
Now as Diablo, he wears a magic ring with the strength of Magic Reflection, so that anytime a spell is cast against him, the reverse effect would occur.
And when pantherian Rem and elf Shera try to make Diablo their servant, they meet the same fate; the spell inevitably backfires, and they both wind up with magical collars around their necks. This is the origin of the main character in the series!
As time goes on, Takuma, who plays @Diablo-13 in a Cross Reverie, begins to adopt the persona of his character. He begins to engage with the locals and put his knowledge of Cross Reverie’s culture to use in order to thrive there.
He travels with the two stunning women (Rem and elf Shera) and searches for ways to get rid of the sealed collars around their necks. However, as the main character, Diablo does more than just free them from slavery. He also tries to solve their other life problems.
