In Momokyun Sword episode 3, around 12:50, Enki is in the process of
"torturing" her prisoner Karin, in a very special way:

Beginning by running her hands up her thighs, telling Karin "私 は 天国 見せて 上げる" -
I'll show you heaven.

Then Onihime tells her to stop:

![Enki, cut it out or a lot of people will get angry at
us](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Es5bh.png)

And Enki promptly stops and apologise, but she is looking straight at the
camera angle - probably turning 180° and facing onihime based on their
positioning on the shot above.

But who is this "a lot of people" Onihime mention? It couldn't be anyone from
the Earth or Celestial realm, because they are really mad at the oni anyway by
default.

It seemed to me that she was breaking the 4th wall. Is it so?

question
momo-kyun-sword
Who is Onihime talking about in this scene? Is it a 4th wall joke?


The subtitles in the screenshot are not exactly accurate. Onihime warns that
「各方面」( _kaku houmen_ = all sides, from every quarter) will get 「うるさい」 (
_urusai_ = noisy, loud, possibly cause a ruckus). It seems that Enki is
threatening to rape Karin (from Enki's perspective, it would be heaven, but
since Karin is protesting 「いやぁ！やめて！」[ _iyaa! yamete!_ ], that would constitute
as non-consensual). Therefore, Onihime warns that everyone would get noisy if
Enki went through with it - meaning that either 1) Karin's 「仲間」( _nakama_ =
comrades, friends) will be indignant about it once they find out, 2) viewers
will object with a loud complaint, or 3) the hentai viewers will make some
other sort of noise... Her next line recommends for Karin to pray that her
_nakama_ will arrive soon, so it is very possible that _kaku houmen_ refers to
them.

It doesn't look like Enki's eyes are looking directly at the camera in the
next shot, but rather at Onihime, so no, she does not break the fourth wall.
In summary, Onihime rather than Enki might break the fourth wall by alluding
to viewers, but it is not clear enough that she is not referring to an
objection by in-canon characters.
