HOW NOT TO SUMMON A DEMON LORD is a Japanese animated series; in this episode, Diablo inadvertently rescues a priestess from harm.

sexual violence and sexual threat
A character summons a fantastical creature which proceeds to tear off a woman's clothes with its tentacles, groping her breasts. In another scene, a man subconsciously gropes a woman's breast, then recoils in embarrassment when he realises what he is doing.
additional issues
There are strong sex references, including frequent sight of the partially covered breasts of female characters. Scenes of moderate threat and fantastical violence feature characters battling magical creatures using spells and weaponry. In one such scene, it is implied a woman is eaten by a large creature off screen, resulting in a large blood spurt on screen. There is use of mild and very mild bad language ('fricking', 'damn', 'hell').
