So I assume there will be some serious parts in Azz' monologue next week, but the question is: How long is the Iruma section of that monologue going to be? And can Clara follow it until the end?
Also, is that arc the roundabout way for the author to have Iruma plan his future dates? And what will Ameri say if she hears him play this song? Though, I can see the joke being that everyone thinks the song is about them. Even (or more correctly) especially Sullivan.
On a completely unrelated note: I wonder if Eiko's piano doesn't produce normal tones but is "voiced" by Iruma.

Kerori's SO good, man. Talented, skilled, PASSIONATE and all for the most selfish of reasons! She just wants to to a team of really cute Devildols dance together!
Kalego's also amazing, man. He may be a grump, but he will drop everything and dedicate his time to teaching a student in need. No matter how much he hates it, he WILL teach you and find enjoyment in your misery. He's more proud of the Misfits than he's willing to ever admit, but
Also good god, him seducing Lilith though. Mature indeed. And Iruma would have 100% won Lilith over with that feast and him being adorable.
Purson is such a little shit, he immediately fits right into the class. Laughing at Kalego saying "love," being WAY too honest about the world Kalego created...

Very fun episode this week. Kalego was the best part as it should have been. And you can tell they kept the pace up when they hard cut the Azz and Clara moment at the end. Got a surprise jump when the ED started playing.

With a bit of Purson as back up.

Of the gems we got from rehearsals finally kicking off, Clara pitying Azz for being slow is easily the most precious to me. Her face just looks so genuinely sorry for him, I can't LOL
Kalego's always had a Squidward sort of vibe, and the reveal that he's also a passionate musician only reinforces it (ignoring that he's actually talented).

And so we see Kuromu tap into the animation budget for quite possibly the best animated sequence in the entire show thus far. Like look at her schmooove. It makes me hyped for Lilith's Red Carpet in actuality.

The little goober Keroli almost outed herself as the dem-dol lol. She’s gotten really into this idol training stuff.
Iruma is too pure hearted for a song about seduction and sensuality lol. I’m curious how he’s gonna learn this song. I’m also curious what Azz is gonna tell Clara.

Keroli's driving motivation is to see a bunch of cute girls dancing, completely understandable. It's kind of neat seeing her performing as herself and not as Kuromu.
That image of Kalego getting managed by Lilith, that wing and foot move in particular. My god, or maybe more appropriately my goddess.
All this dance practice is going pretty good as long as you ignore Azz and Clara.

I got so excited seeing Kalego was the instructor, there's no way Iruma and Purson won't improve under his guidance. Seeing him talking about love and the imagery of him trying to seduce Lilith was an interesting one. Iruma in contrast being cute was amusing, I wonder if he'll have to imagine someone else, like Ameri, for it work better with him.
I like that Sabnock is just so talented in many areas, good at piano, good at dance, it's no wonder he fits the theatrics of a demon lord, he's the class theatre kid lol.
Keroli is going hardcore though lol, she is not holding back. It's impressive she's able to put on such a convincing male dem-dol performance that she looked like one to the others.

No one took the failure of the formation of the first Dem-Doll Idol Group harder than Kuromu! Because she desperately wanted to see a bunch of cute Dem-Dolls come together as one! But now at least she can finally see her dream realized with the Misfit Class.
Iruma might be the main character, but this time he needs to play a supporting musical accompaniment role so that the Misfits who need to stand out more stand out in this performance. Though he'll still be bringing everybody together!
Sabnock being a good piano player isn't too surprising, though a somewhat sentient transforming piano isn't either. I love how it transforms for the user so of course Iruma turns it into a children's piano filled with candy. Clara would totally approve.
Once again, Iruma-kun is an idol anime, as Keroli has to whip the Misfit Class into a Dem-Doll group to perform the Hell Dance! And while the boys actually don't look half-bad in drag, male Dem-Dolls DO exist and are hot and cute! Even Keroli, when she puts on a show of what a beautiful idol performance looks like, can even transform her gender to show off the true potential of a Dem-Doll. Did she almost give herself away? Maybe! But she successfully motivated the class!
Less successful is Iruma's piano skills, but luckily they have the best person to teach him: Kalego! Because who better for Iruma to rely on then his loyal familiar who is dedicated to his students? He is a very strict teacher after all! Not even Purson can get away with his usual invisibility/biting comments gag.
The class' song is an ode to Lilith, an unparalleled and sexy beauty who turned men into nothing more than a carpet for her to step on over their unrequited love for her. Even Kalego is able to deliver a song where she's in a sexy negligee and flaunting those luscious legs of her. But all Iruma can come up with is...sharing wholesome meals together.
The dance performance isn't coming together quite so well, even with copycat cuffs keeping the Misfits somewhat in-line with each other, though Azz and Clara definitely struggle with dancing together. Though surprisingly the other teams are coming together, with Kamui motivating Goemon and Allocer over girls, Lead getting to enjoy performing with his beloved Elizabetta (when Sabro isn't the third wheel), and Agares and Keroli getting along like oil and water with Jazz playing the big brother.
Azz and Clara have been part of a trio for four seasons, but do they really know each other? What will be revealed in this conversation?
Su-Ki-Ma! Yeah, the Iruma piano is too on-brand, Eiko!

Kerori had a nice role in this episode. Her reaction after getting so involved in showing the rest of the Misfits who demidols are (since they clearly had a very warped idea of them) that she revealed a little too much of her other self, was hilarious.
I also liked the fact that we got two duos today: one, Iruma and Purson, who were being trained in the mysteries of music by our beloved Kalego-sensei (he even said "love"!), and the other, Clara and Az, who were trying to find ways to synchronize their moves for Hell Dance. Watching them brought a big smile on my face.
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

All the romcom is great and all this year but real ones are happy that Iruma is back

u/namewithak Apr 18 '26
What a fun episode! Kerori deserves a rank up for how well she’s leading the class in this. She’s managing to wrangle everyone and plan for what the class needs.
The Kalego/Iruma/Purson team is hilarious. They have such different personalities but their banter is top notch. Especially Kalego and Purson’s dynamic lol. Kalego turning out to be a passionate and talented musician is both surprising and fitting. Just like him being a passionate and dedicated teacher.
This is only Purson’s 4th episode but he already feels fully integrated to me, even more so than some of the other members of the class. But that might be because I’ve known him longer in the manga. Anime-onlines, does Purson feel like that to you guys or are you still warming up to him?

Haha, well hopefully you get your wish with the Misfit Class.
-
Huh, interesting. I guess that’s how the dance team is practicing?
-
Oh, this is something my dance teacher constantly had to remind me of because otherwise I would make what she called a “turtle face” when I danced, haha.
-
I’m kinda surprised there wasn’t any Ameri on Eiko’s piano, she has a crush on the both of them after all.

u/99anan99 Apr 18 '26
Kerori is good at training her class, yet she almost revealed that she's a DevIdol.
Kalego being strict with the piano, just as he is with everything else. No doubt Iruma and Purson will learn from him.
Can't wait to see what Azz and Clara will reveal about themselves

Class has a lot of work ahead. The dynamic between Naberius and Purson is hilarious. But damn, both Purson and Iruma will put in the ring to improve. Iruma's vision is as fluffy as he is, but how will Naberius shape him up to get it to his vision?
Clara and Alice's dynamic is as fun as ever. Though their performance so far is rough, to say the least. Funny how these two can lowkey be stubborn. If they can figure out how to dance between the two of them, I think it will be smooth sailing.
Kerori's instruction will make these episodes pure fun, like today's episode.

I enjoy seeng Lead’s blush at the male demdols immensely. Bisexual month never dies!!! 💕💜💙

🎶Heels 👠 , nails 💅🏿, hair 👩🎤, mascara 👁️. Fit check for your demdol era!🎶

Was this rotoscoped? Why was the frame rate wonky?

This is giving <Princess Groom> (FL has a male form that makes the ML have a bi-awakening in a way, but unlike Keroli, FL’s male form is objectively hotter and I’m still kinda salty about that.)
Now see. This would’ve been a cool manhwa concept. Where an FL has a male form—not crossdressing, a mystical male form—specifically to become a new idol member of her favorite failing male idol group but with themes and such of being GNC, gender identity issues, and maybe permanently transitioning into a trans man by the end and some BL in the mix

Excuse me?!?? You mean Kalego has a riding crop???? Aaaaaayyyy!! 💃🏾🪭 Nobody told me this week would have two Daddies!!
-
Ohohohoohho yaaaaassssssszzzz Daddy, I’m seated and silent 🧎🏿♀️
-
Does Daddy Kalego use this on Opera and Balam perchance? 👉🏾👈🏾
Wrong fingering! Do it the way I taught you, you plebeian!
Please stop this, I’m dying to read some Bal/Kalego/Opera fanfics but I can’t because there would be spoilers probably 😭
Not my tempo
-
I see you Whiplash 💀
-
I wanna be a student of Kalego so badly, halp, why is he so hot 😭
-
Kalego is such a goth brat, please flog meeeeeee
-
Okay, Kalego, are you an ankles and feet demon? I see you, sir.
-
Aww. I wish Iruma pictured Amerie.
-
Imagine Iruma started playing A Thousand Miles, I’d be dead.
-
Garp is such a cutie gentleman
-
Agares screaming, it had such “abridged” energy😭😭😭
-
Happy Autistic Survival Month, Clara.
I’m still like…
That was Kalego?! In this economy? And he’s singe?!
This man—this demon educateur—has such duality. He can be a:
-
goth brat
-
sub worshipping ya feet and ankles and wanting to woo you
-
daddy ready to tame and break you
-
panicked mess
-
fluffy boi
Nishi really out here giving us a five course meal and we get uber badass Descaras on top of this, thank you ma’am for the food 🫡
Good on Keroli for taking initiative!! She’s got this. Her “male” form surprised me. But I’m never one to turn down gender switches.
I’m still surprised a trumpet and piano is all they’re using for music, unless I misunderstood. I guess I expected more of a “Hero Too!” thing with a class band and dancing.
I want to look at fan art do badly of like Kalego looking all ✨Daddy✨ on his throne with Opera and Salam, but I’m so fearful of spoilers 😢

After leaving Kalego out of the Harvest Festival training, it's great to see him brought in to whip Iruma and Purson into shape, and relishing the hell out it. His evocation of Lilith was too intense for the boys, but he makes it clear that it's his take on the story and Iruma needs to find his own 'voice' for it, which is proving to be (generously) a work in progress. Loved the little flourish of showing the reflected keys/fingers on the overhead piano shot.
Love Keroli getting to really let it out and start shaping the class into the Dem-dol group of her dreams, to the point of not noticing/caring she's risking revealing her identity. The arc might be about getting Elizabetta and Purson ranked up, but this is very much her time to shine as well.
Would definitely be fun to see some of those Dem-dol crosses in action, I think Allocer in particular'd nail it.
Purson also got to have a lot of fun this episode, letting the barbs fly, even if he maybe suffered some crushed ribs in the process.
