So the identity of the True Demon Lord is finally revealed. Aaaaand it's Jigoku Shoujo.

I was suspecting the TDL to be a visitor, but I expected them to be more... Adult and terrifying in appearance. To think that a JK would cause so much chaos. Also, I wish that flashback was longer. We barely learned anything about her.

It looks like the tournament is about to begin, so I hope the S3 will come soon enough. This series is criminally underrated.

I love how the narrator pointed out that she literally had ZERO powers or abilities. It was almost to be expected from this story that the True Demon King would have the most underwhelming appearance.

I highly doubt that's true otherwise she wouldn't cause everyone around her to go mad with her mere presence. Unless, what the narrator means, is that only truly someone with zero supernatural skills can inherently become a walking calamity. That would imply not having at least some skill is the natural order of the world and her being devoid of all that is a violation of nature.

My guess is that it has to do with her being a visitor. It has already been implied that many visitors have incredible powers. I think there might be some underlying lore reason that visitors are inherintly powerful on a fundamental level that has nothing to do with the conventional strength in this world. Maybe it is something like "they don't belong here and are a violation of nature".

About visitors, it probably has something to do with the way natural laws work. See even for us, we all have natural laws of science that apply throughout the universe. Imagine if a creature showed up that does not abide the natural law and instead has its own functionality. Like a person that is able to live in and actively change phenomena in a 4th dimension. That is what I think a visitor is.

You know what? That's actually the best explanation I've seen for why she can cause such calamities without powers, this is my new head cannon. This series is genuinely so fun to theorize about it's world and characters.
