Hard to say if something hasn't been fleshed out if I haven't watched the rest of the show (it may et elaborated on in Episode 2, or never elaborated on at all), but there are plenty of opportunities in this episode for Sougo to give his But Why Monarchy speech, and the closest he comes is vwing to be a good despot. The couple times a normal person tries to understand why he'd want to be something so ridiculous/unhealthy, he sort of shrugs his shoulders? It's not that it seems like his motivation is hidden -- which would be fine! -- it's that it seems like he isn't motivated at all?

Wow, that's super weird! She comes across as a genuinely good person with an actual strategy, which makes her one of the most interesting characters in the premiere.

Every single time someone suggests that Demon King is somehow better (or different! In any way!) than Good Tyrant, I just want to post this video:

Like, declaring yourself to be King -- Demon or otherwise -- is a very bad thing! It's like having a dream of owning a sweatshop. It's not the impossibility or the anachronistic parts that bother me, it's that it's an immoral thing to want to be.
