Okay, let's talk Devil is a Part-Timer! Season 2. Specifically, the dub. Where is it?
We waited SO long for a second season. Years, practically! Then it arrived... but without the English voices we know and love. Cue the collective internet groan.
The Dub Dilemma: A Hilarious (But Painful) Wait
Seriously, where’s the dub? Are Maou and Ashiya lost in translation... literally?
I'm not saying I watched the subbed version. Okay, I totally did. But my brain kept automatically adding Alvarez's Maou voice. It's ingrained!
Anyone else find themselves doing voices while reading subtitles? No? Just me? Okay then…
Theories and Speculation: Let the Games Begin!
So, what's the holdup? Did Lucifer accidentally delete all the audio files? Is Emi Yusa holding the dub hostage until Maou finally pays child support? (Okay, she probably wouldn't, but still!)
Maybe the voice actors are all super busy. You know, saving the world in their own right. One can only hope!
Here's a wild theory: They're trying to perfectly replicate the comedic timing. Those jokes hit differently in English! It's a noble cause, really.
My Unpopular Opinion (Brace Yourselves!)
Okay, here it comes... I kind of like the anticipation. Don't get me wrong, I *need* that dub. But the wait has created a shared experience.
We're all in this together, refreshing Crunchyroll and Funimation like addicts. Misery loves company, right?
Plus, it's giving us ample opportunity to rewatch the first season. Always a good thing. "Fries with Mayo, please!"
In the Meantime: Coping Mechanisms
How are we supposed to survive without the dub? Fan theories? Memes? Rewatching the first season until we can recite it backwards?
I've personally started practicing my own Maou laugh. My neighbors probably think I'm losing it, but hey, dedication!
Maybe we should all start a petition. Or maybe just send Funimation and Crunchyroll strongly worded, but polite, emails.
The Future is (Hopefully) Dubbed
Look, I know the dub will eventually arrive. It’s just a matter of when.
Until then, let's keep the faith. Let's keep speculating. And let's keep rewatching those hilarious moments from season one.
One day, we'll be basking in the glory of a brand new, fully dubbed season of The Devil is a Part-Timer! And it will be glorious. We’ll be saying, “Thank you!”
Fingers crossed it's sooner rather than later! Let me end with one last note. We’re ready for you, Maou! Anytime now!
