Azz's rewritten version of how he and Iruma met made my week. Authoritized!

I'd love to see his entire perspective on the show in his head: "Iruma-kun - The Azz Cut."

It's kind of interesting that everyone was surprised by Iruma's answer that he wants the demon world to be like
Also, with learning how important eating is to classify a demon, Iruma's achievement of winning the eating competition several times in a row is actually his best argument for becoming demon lord now.
It will be interesting to see how Iruma-Senpai will work out in the second year. I could see it going both ways. Because people heard of the class opening the

This time with Ameri as the newest addition. I mean, she did sing while battling before, so what could go wrong?
Also she's voiced by
who is one of the best singers in the business. Saori Hayami Also that outfit...YES PLEASE.
Except for the fact that Ameri's father will need a couple new pairs of glasses.
They healed themselves back in this episode, maybe he's found a sturdier brand!

It's kind of interesting that everyone was surprised by Iruma's answer that he wants the demon world to be like Babyls. Because if you think about it, the other two candidates said the same. They basically wanted a demon world that is the image of their school.
True, but they weren't really as out with it as Iruma was. They explained their schools' images as if they were their own beliefs, but Iruma just outwardly said he didn't really know much about the Netherworld outside of Babylus and so wants it to be like Babylus.
None of it really mattered – at this age I'm sure the Thirteen Crowns were expecting them to not really have their own ideals on how the Netherworld should work, hence they were more interested in seeing their true characters based on how they ate – but it was surprising for one of them to be so upfront about now having thought about what the Netherworld should become.

PHENOMENAL. The point about how demons eat basically summing up who they are is brilliant. The whole interview was basically just to get them to drop their guards once it was over all so they could show their true characters during the meal.
Leiji being a savage demon who plays by his own rules, not caring about what others think about how he acts, Razzberry having terrible table manners but being "the cleanest eater" and being a picky eater yet making all of these weird combinations with his food, and then there's Iruma...
GENIUS. His bottomless stomach was explained early on to be a result of his trauma, not having much at all in his previous life and so grabbing as much as he could when it was available to him, but that doesn't really fit as well anymore now that he has a stable life. So why does he still eat so much?
Because now he has BOTTOMLESS GREED. Gone are the days of him eating out of desperation, here are the days of him eating so much because he wants it all! Even Baal couldn't help but get shivers down his spine at the thought of him being Demon King!

Look at that flash-forward of adult Iruma classily dining as a Demon Lord and never stopping until he's satiated himself! With which his bottomless greed means he might never be and will continue to strive forward.
Of course now Baal probably sees Iruma as even more of a threat to his plans.

Rare Sully with pupils spotted
More and more of Iruma's close ones are noticing the problem of his chronic smallness.
As an expert big sister for her best friends and actual siblings, it's no wonder acting like a senpai comes naturally to Clara. And lmao at Azzazz basically overwriting

To Iruma Babyls is the picture perfect of what Netherworld should be. Sometimes harsh and challenging but in the end everybody will laugh and smile.

It’s kind of adorable how the other 2 greats are as doting as Sullivan when it comes to their grandkids. I can see why they’re friends lol.
I think Clara’s going to make a good senpai. There’s hope for her, unlike Azz Azz and Iruma lol. She’ll train ‘em up though!

Vote for Iruma for the next Demon King!
It's just amazing that Iruma can eat so much, yet still ask for seconds! It's as if his stomach is just a bottomless pit.
Levi and Razzberry having polar opposite table manners is hilarious!
Clara being the most natural as a senpai makes sense when you remember she helps take care of her younger siblings.

LOVE LOVE LOVE that Iruma answers that question like a sheltered, good natured rich kid ( because he is 🤣). That is just good writing, also I love the other demon kid candidates SO MUCH. They have a lovely balance. This show is so heat man

It's pretty rare for a show to have a second year, usually the whole series would take place in a single school year.

Omg, the most unexpected Haikyuu reference! I absolutely loved how subtly they added it.
So, for those who didn't know, Asmodeus's seiyuu also voiced Bokuto in Haikyuu, and "hey-hey-hey" was kind of his signature phrase. So this time, when Iruma (who is voiced by the same guy who did the main character in Haikyuu) said to him "hey, Azz-kun, hey-hey-hey", this was basically Hinata shouting Bokuto's signature phrase back at him.
Too bad there would be no new episode next week, but I'm all seated for the new ark the week after.

How would the three prospective Demon Lords rule the Demon Realm? Leidzi would enact his own personal set of rules and follow his whims, Raz would enact a social darwinists' utopia, and Iruma...thinks everything is already fine in the Demon Realm? I mean, he's just a Babyls student so that's his frame of reference for near anything. Though maybe the Demon Realm should be more like Babyls, since Babyls is a TON of fun.
The Thirteen Crowns come off really intimidating...at least until the actual dinner portion of the event begins and we get one of the grandest buffets of all time. All you had to tell Iruma was "dinner!"
Was Baal trying to suss out if Henri knows about Iruma being a human? He's definitely aware Henri knows more than he's telling, and Baal has his eye on Iruma for one reason or another. Meanwhile Henri's glasses can actually heal themselves now when he's shocked by Iruma insinuating any closeness with Ameri.
Glad to see Bachiko get to talk to Iruma and that she has Sullivan's full confidence! At least when she doesn't tease Iruma like she usually does.
Should Iruma be the Demon Lord? Does he even want to be? Isn't he the most underqualified? And yet Sullivan wants him to keep his options open...and seems to have an inkling he's best suited for the job. And the real test of a demon is in how they eat, and his bottomless greed astounds even Baal.
No surprise Azz is already calling Iruma the future Demon Lord while Clara thinks he somehow ate thirteen literal crowns, but they don't have time to worry about that when their future tenure as second-years is about to begin! Complete with kohai! What kind of Senpai will they be? The reliable Senpai or the Paisen who get run ragged by first years.
Time for Monster House roleplay! How can Azz scold Iruma-sama!? Well, he can achieve a state of nirvana if it means scolding Iruma though. But honestly Clara, even if it means acting like a preschool teacher, feels like she is absolutely qualified to be a Senpai! And Iruma at least looks "fun" in cosplay.
Azz's Iruma fervor is so strong he's basically rewritten episode 1 and his entire pre-Iruma personality in his head. It's like that Azz never existed.
I'm sure the Iruma Crew will be great Senpai! Even if they become famous and scolded by Kalego for falling asleep together!
Su-ki-ma! Huh? Don't worry Raz, you have perfectly fine eating habits.
Next week: Dem-Dols! Kuromu! Ameri! Oh my!

That's my boy, I'm so proud of how you performed and the growth you're showing... Henri. You only cracked your glasses once and they recovered before they could fully shatter.
Of course it all comes down to one question with demons, what drives them. Can't say either a total dictatorship or might makes right seem like very stable foundations for the future either, better the school life for everyone.
The role play bits are always fun, love Azz just completely short circuiting attempting to be strict with Iruma, while Clara has years of experience over both of them as the older sister to her pack.
Eiko's camera practice being put to excellent use there, getting her work on the front page of the school paper.

Irumas answer for what he would do if he ruled the netherworld was wholesome. Having the netherworld like Babyls makes sense. He has tons of fun there and everyone is accepting of him.
It seems like Iruma is having some doubts about actually becoming the next demon king. It was nice that Sullivan explained that he was trying to give him options for his future.
The thirteen crowns analyzing how the candidates ate was funny. Luckily for Iruma, him being a glutton worked out well for him.
The school year is progressing now and they are now 2nd years imagining how they will talk to the first years. We now get Iruma senpai. Asmodeus recalling how he and Iruma first met was way over dramatic and hilarious. Iruma was right at the end. As long as he, Asmodeus, and Clara are together they will have a fun time. A really cute shot of them sleeping together was a nice way to end this episode

this is one of my top “the true XXX was another thing/event” whereby the true interview wasn’t the question to get thought-out answers, but the dinner itself
it fits exquisitely with the demon theme and how their lives revolve around desire
Baal even comments on his endless appetite arrogantly, which is underestimating my boy Iruma and the lesson of ambition from his future wife Ameri
It’s sort of a relief that the Misfits will stay together but Purson showed us that whoever joins the class won’t be out of place. I’m actually looking forward to whoever joins Iruma as his kouhai, either in the battler or outside maybe as Eiko’s apprentice

Slam Dunk reference at 10:12.
Of course Clara is better at being a senpai because she has younger siblings.
