What we already knew:Man I swear the author is making shit up to progress the story, none of these happening barely connect one to another. Like suddenly the demon poops out a faceless voiceless vassal?
The fuck.
Hope it landed in good studio, so its not missing the main charm of this manga: cool pose moment.Yes, it deserve an anime, because as a manga the battle scenes are somehow limited since the author style is more suitable for static scenery then all out action.
Don’t worry, they don’t wanna destroy the moon, just cover it in a big black blanketSo, you're going to take down the moon? Did you know that it is the pull of the Moon's gravity on the Earth that keeps it in place? Without the Moon stabilizing the Earth's tilt, there is a possibility that the Earth's tilt could vary greatly. It would transition from having no tilt (resulting in no seasons) to a significant tilt (leading to extreme weather and even ice ages).1
Basically, even the demons would be doomed. However, it seems they are dumb and only see what they want to see.

Wow I'm actually impressed someone can actually piece the story together to form a coherent plot, because I bet my ass nobody else can actually remember any of these.What we already knew:
And now:
- 3k years ago, the demon king was defeated but not destroyed. His heart (probably) buried under the capital city and the other 5 body parts scattered and imprisoned. Efforts to destroy those body parts have all failed... until now.
- Ryumatsu is one of the previous lives of princess Ryu and his personality has taken over her body. (About 98% sure of this.) Original princess Ryuu personality is sleeping (barring a few times in which she woke a little bit).
- This is likely arranged by the goddess, so that the skills and experience of Ryumatsu be applied to ending the demon king.
- The Goddess may herself be hiding/present on Ryuu's back tattoo (as per what Lord Jaw said shortly before being diced).
- There's a huge "World Tree" sized skill tree on Ryuu's back. Likely this is the goddess's skill tree.
- General plot structure is likely: Destroy 5 demon king pieces, but with detours along the way, and in the end, destroy the core/heart. On the way there, deal with local issues, pickup allies, grow Ryuu's powers.
Pending:
- Ryu has now destroyed 2 of those 5 external body parts. (Jaw and now Eye.)
- Ryu's power is evolving. Left arm (original princess tree); Right arm (Ryuumatsu tree); Back (goddess? tree); and now the flowers that originally appeared on the left arm have grown up, across the back, and connected to the right arm. In addition, she now has an awesome sword.
- Demons can't survive sunlight (without some sort of protection.
- Now, it seems that the moon was manifested by the goddess 3k years ago, and by reflecting the light of the sun also makes night time difficult for demons.
- Demon King's heart, which seems to be the core of his power, though seemingly sleeping or greatly reduced, is the place where we see demons gathering, worshipping and working for him.
- That core has now given rise to an evil princess semi-look alike. (More details to be filled in later.) Seemingly in an effort to combat Ryuu and/or destroy the moon.
- Demon King's (heart? I guess) is now specifically focusing on destroying the goddess's moon.
- As for how the eff that would be done... Apparently there's a moon pool [night elves???] that's linked to the moon. So presumably demons are headed there to do something.
- Where they will encounter Ryuu who is going there to get some effing sake.
- Eva is tsundere for Loki.
- When will princess fully wakeup and how will she work with Ryuumatsu?
- Will the goddess manifest at some point?
- Is the prince corrupted, or just going down the really wrong path?
- What about the elves? They have their own god entity (I think). And probably have one of the demon king parts.
- What's up with the other reincarnator? (The prior owner of Usain & Bolt.)
- Who will win Loki's heart in the end? Will he go for the newcomer? Or childhood friend?
