Yeah, the more I read about the Sun Castle the less sense it makes.
The system was blocked by the previous angels owner but somehow when it came near MC village it was able to transmit and for some reason the devil leader decided to start a war instead of asking for help.
They were stuck up there for 5 centuries and never somehow were able to communicate with someone below, I presume the Sun Castle control crystal had that function forced in and anyone could appear in the stream, and the devil wasted it on waging a war he had no way to fight in the first place.
The devils were able to get on the castle with supplied but nothing to come down, even slowly, nor were able to think of one for that long.
Someone got a incredibly precise prediction of the future, but still lost the castle.
they were stuck in the castle for that long, and no one every noticed the secret passage, tried to take the vase to use it and the only one that came close was a little girl that kept it a secret to keep a monster as a pet.

Yeah, a few reads of the conversation between Gou and Bell and slowly let everything else seep in.

The first king, being human, could not live to see the prophecy through. The successors forgot. The current demons are 2nd and 3rd gen. Their leader thought the ancient Human-Demon war was starting up again and (hyped up over 1st gen's war with the angels) decided to declare war to shake up the humans into surrender and scam his way to victory.

Secret passage? Gou ain't telling the demons, nor the angels. The pet monster? The jail itself isn't a secret. It has an entrance to the outside.

Something else he missed: the key to the whole thing from a few chapters back: it was the automated system detecting our MC that caused the Sun Castle to start up again. Also, the jail was secret, technically, but the pillar with the contraption was broken and so the other side's door opened and closed easily.

The Declare war move are to scare off the human army to don't come up and kill off all the devil on the island. Than when the move to the human rule done just GTFO as quickly as possible.
Obviously it doesn't work and luckily for them they stumbled into the best outcome.

I wonder what kind of hellish murder beasts reputations those Lions have?

Oddly-detailed lions, if you ask me
Was thinking EXACTLY this, it feels like their level of detail is a step above most other stuff in this manga. Like kuro and the other wolves are pretty simplified even when drawn in relative detail (only base shadows). But the kuros are usually drawn pretty chibi-style, which makes the super-detailed lions even more weird. They even have highlighting, really detailed fur texturing, and color gradients, whereas kuro gets one base color, shadows, and a bit of fur fluff here and there.
My guess is that maybe the author was either not confident in drawing lions and had another artist help, or the author was recently practicing drawing lions and wanted to show off lol.

Manga 8/10, anime 2/10. Prove me wrong.

Anywhoo.

Pspspsps, thes murder bean mittens. I suppose these are migratory and not really native to the rocky hot springs of the death forest.
Anime season 1 was good but manga definitely better especially with all the snusnu our boy be getting :smugchisato:. The anime just feels way to watered down

Ah yes. Murder lions(cats). To go along with their infernal wolfs(dogs).

What's next? Rainbow shark(fish)?
Thunder hawks(birds)?
