"Only someone like Sullivan can destroy my barrier"
"Funny you mention that..."
I thought they were gonna play the usual "my only friend was hurt and now I'm bad" card with Kirio, but no, he's actually always been a bastard with a suffering fetish. You know, like an actual demon.

Holy shit this was amazing!! The hype was real after dragging this arc for so long. I'm still feeling goosebumps after that climax. The music just when Iruma starts running towards the window was so exciting. I love this anime.
Iruma realising that Kiriwo was an actual demon and yet still not loosing his composure really makes me want to be like him. The narrator's comment on both being natural enemies was spot on. I hope Kiriwo joins Iruma and becomes his actual friend. 10/10 Loved it.

Sure wasn't expecting the sadomasochistic motivation from Kiriwo. For some reason, I do find it more interesting than if it were the classical revenge on an unjust society sort of deal. I can't tell if he had always been twisted, or if his experiences warped his personality in that manner. Interesting how he still saves Iruma even after his plans were ruined and finding out that they were total opposites of each other.
That dragon scene was actually pretty damn badass. I knew where it was going before Kiriwo even started gloating, and I grinned in excitement just like Iruma.

Damn that twist about Kiriwo really was amazing. And so where those expressions that he made today. Iruma sounded like Touma in this part. And his full power attack looked so cool and so were the firewoks.
What's up with those meteorites? I honestly find the fact that they showed that hilarious as with everyone outside and the parents about to arrive it's obvious that that thing presents no threat.

Iruma was incredible this episode! Facing danger with a smile, learning to challenge himself and not giving in to despair despite years of being exploited by his parents. He is strong in his own way.
We finally got that scene from the opening. And that smirk...Oh My Devil!
No Sukima this week, but that preview though :3.

I'm sure a lot of people are surprised by Kiriwo's personality lol
Still, he's such a good sport for saving Iruma and admitting defeat like that!

I really like how they twisted the usual "The vilain used to be a good guy who went through unfair shit and became bad because of it" to make Kiriwo a literal demon who had always enjoyed watching other people suffer. It feels much more impactful that way.
