Kyou Kara Maou 47 — The Proof of Life
A flashback episode! Usually those words strike fear into the hearts of anime fans, but this was a really neat little episode which detailed some of the events in the lives of Gwendal, Conrad, and Wolfram when they were kids. So cute! Tiny Wolfram is so freaking adorable, I want to die.
The episode mostly focused on Gwendal and his relationship with Conrad’s human father, Dan Hiri. The way that they faked us out by showing Gwendal’s idealized view of Dan Hiri rather than showing him in his old age was really interesting, and it made Gwendal’s realization that human lives are much shorter than those of Mazoku all the more poignant.
It was really neat that we got to not only see the three half-brothers at a young age, but young Anissina and young Yozak, too. It’s kinda neat that the origin of Conrad and Yozak’s friendship was hinted at here. Gwendal was the best, though; it’s very cool to see different sides to his character, and see how he became the character we’re familiar with. Really good episode.

Hello! I love all your posts reviewing Kyou Kara Maou! This show is by far my favorite anime and I love the Yuri/Wolfram sequences (even though I have a thing for Conrad). ^_^
Also, do you know a place I can watch the kyou kara maou episodes 24 and up?! I bought four of the DvD’s, but I was trying to download the rest from online. Unfortunatly, I don’t have bitter torrent or anything like that. Do you know where I could go? (Normally, I go to youtube.com)
