"Rimuru and his retinue are invited by the Celestial Emperor to holiday at a luxury island resort; the only thing spoiling their sightseeing are the laser-like bursts of nuclear magic."
"The busy conspiracy knot that follows, involving shady chancellor Djeese and his attempt to wrest control of the kingdom's water-dragon protector, is a good lesson in the difference between plot and story."
"As Djeese's goons hunt them down, they get a fun tag-team martial-arts sequence sprinting through the resort's Venetian streets, like a Bond opening scene."
"With less daffy humour than previous film Scarlet Bond, the initially so-so animation picks up to a more engaging level as the story progresses."
Rimuru, a reborn salaryman turned demon lord, and his companions are invited to a luxury island resort. Their vacation is interrupted by nuclear magic targeting the undersea kingdom of Kaien. A conspiracy unfolds involving a priestess named Yura and a shady chancellor named Djeese. While the plot thickens with action and martial arts sequences, the film lacks the humor of its predecessor, Scarlet Bond, and ultimately focuses on political conflicts and battles between factions.
