“I will gladly become a god or an evil.”
Norman
In Episode 8, Norman betrayed Emma by breaking the deal they made. He released the drug that degenerated the demons, thereby turning them into mindless creatures who killed each other.
Ray and Emma arrived to stop him, but it was too late. The town had turned into hell, and not even the little children were spared from this cruel massacre.
Can Emma and Ray knock some sense into Norman? We bring you the latest episode updates for this anime.
1. Episode 9 Preview and Speculations
Norman isn’t the first anime character who tried to play God, and we are well aware of how things ended for Light Yagami, who tried the same thing. Norman is following in their footsteps, but there’s a slim hope that Emma will bring him to his senses.
The fact that he is going to die anyway has made him even more dangerous. He is doing this for his friends to leave behind a safer world for them after he dies.
Meanwhile, Mujika and Sonju have agreed to help Emma. Mujika’s blood can turn any demon into a human-like creature who doesn’t need human flesh to sustain, thereby opening up a way to create a world where humans and demons can coexist.

3. Episode 8 Recap
I. Norman the First Farm-Produced Genius
Episode 8 takes us to the day when Norman was shipped from Grace Field. Isabella took him to Peter Ratri, who asked him to assist him in his research as a price to keep him alive.
Instead of getting shipped, they brought Norman to Lambda 7241, where multiple tests were performed on him to measure his IQ level and brain functionality.
No matter how tough the questions were, Norman always got the perfect score. Norman was one of a kind who could set the beginning of a new era of high-grade meat for the demons.
While other test subjects were treated worse than animals, and were tortured and tormented to death. Peter wanted to gain control over the farm production to control the demon world from the dark.
All those prolonged experiments had taken a toll on Norman’s health, both physically and mentally. He started coughing out blood and losing his mental stability.
Norman planned an escape with Vincent and broke out of the testing site. On their way out, he saved Cislo and Barbara, and stole all the research from the laboratory.
II. A Fire of Vengeance
In the present, Norman is seen coughing out blood once again. He reveals that he doesn’t have much time left, and exterminating the demons is the only way out.
He regrets going against Emma and Ray because both of them have always been kind to everyone. But kindness alone cannot fix this wretched world. He wants to reshape the world so that his friends have a safe place to live when he is gone.
III. Searching for Sonju and Mujika
Emma, Ray, Don, and Gilda are out in the forest searching for Sonju and Mujika. They have marked all the probable places where they could be found and explore them one by one.
On their fourth day of the search, they get chased by a huge demon, probably the same kind of monster that saved them from the soldiers back at Minerva’s shelter.
Luckily Sonju and Mujika were around that area, and they find the amulet that Mujika gave Emma. Just when Emma was about to get devoured by the monsters, Sonju kills it in a single strike.
Emma tells them all about Norman’s plan to exterminate the demon race and asks for their help. They don’t even have time to think because a demon town is already on fire, and it seems that Norman has broken his promise.
IV. The Demon Annihilation Begins
Norman decides to put his plan into action before Emma can come back from the forest to stop him. He detonates all the explosives he had planted across the town and released the drug that degenerates the demon.
The drug turns the demons into mindless monsters who devour each other. Not even children are spared from this barbarous massacre. Norman himself was out in the field with a short sword in his hand.
Everywhere it is despair and misery, and he justifies himself over and over again that it was the only way out. He was on the verge of questioning his own decision but somehow calms himself down.
V. The ‘Emma’ Problem
Norman tries to kill a little demon girl who is out there searching for her grandfather. He wavers when an old demon calls her by ‘Emma’ and risks his life to save her.
He cannot stop comparing himself with this old demon; both of them are risking their lives to protect their versions of ‘Emma,’ a name that is very precious to him. He realizes that he has turned into a ‘demon’ in someone else’s story.
Just when Norman was about to swing his sword, he hears a familiar voice, a voice he was craving to hear in this uneasy situation. It’s Ray and Emma who have arrived to bring him out of his darkness.
