[Rewatch] Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun Episode 2 Discussion

**Rewatch Host Welcoming Everyone to Demon School, subbed**

[Welcome back, everyone!](#michaelwink)

- [“stupid” is an understatement for them.](https://i.imgur.com/OlrFuf6.png) [](#foldedarms)

- [Iruma thinking he needs to eat as much as possible *while he still can* is… honestly really sad.](https://i.imgur.com/bYxCMVr.png) As if we needed more proof of how awful his life was before Sullivan took him in.

- [Awww, Sullivan really is a sweetheart.](https://i.imgur.com/1Prm3i1.png) [](#mayushii)

- [Hahaha, this is going to be *good*.](https://i.imgur.com/uh7iJYe.png) [](#popcorn2)

- So my first time watching this show was with my best friend (she’d seen it already & wanted to see me react to it), and I will never forget how my reaction to [seeing Kalego enter here](https://i.imgur.com/xUogwbf.png) was to go “Oh, he’s hot” just for my friend to punch my arm as hard as if I just made a joke about her favorite character dying ~~something that may or may not have happened on multiple occasions~~. I stand by what I said then. [](#outofplace)

- [Hahaha](https://i.imgur.com/Ab0fqTI.png)hahaha[hahaha](https://i.imgur.com/KeYiSgn.png) [](#azusalaugh)

- [Azz looks so badass with his gorgon snake.](https://i.imgur.com/SscN1dy.png) [](#tomboyshades)

- [He’s not wrong.](https://i.imgur.com/wjKoM43.png) [](#serialkillerlaugh)

- [*W h o o p s.*](https://i.imgur.com/1FzrVPF.png) [](#crazedlaugh)

- [And then he made it even worse by making the summon actually *finish*.](https://i.imgur.com/B0oa1rH.png) [](#trololol)

- [Familiar!Kalego is so fucking cute I want to bury my face in his fluffy belly.](https://i.imgur.com/ywLnrmF.png) [](#akyuusqueel)

- [RIP Kalego.](https://i.imgur.com/MgzoCgH.png) [](#toradorasalute)

- [This teacher is literally me fr.](https://i.imgur.com/aCG0jDi.png) [](#brothersinarms)

- [Yes, this is clearly a situation for Azz to bring out his familiar for.](https://i.imgur.com/IyNufdJ.png) [](#seasonallaugh)

- [Clara is here!](https://i.imgur.com/Qu4vsec.png) [](#urarahype)

- [Kinda surprised the usual strokes of bad luck](https://i.imgur.com/Tj8bB2Z.png) are actually still bad luck in the netherworld. [](#thoughtful)

**Rewatcher, Manga Reader, Subbed**

Kalego immediately getting hit with a storm of bad omens. [Royal One arc]>!I like that we can see his cactus collection.!<

Absolutely baffled at how these two gave birth to and raised our precious cinnamon roll.

The narrator agrees with me. Dude never misses a chance to insult Iruma's parents.

"Eats a lot" is of course a classic shounen protagonist trait, but I really like how Iruma recontextualizes it. It's not that he's always hungry or that he just likes eating, it's that he's had a lifetime of food insecurity and so his instinct is to eat while he still can, because he can't trust that he'll be able to later.

Another "ma" pun.

And another one!

Opera keeping Sullivan under control, good job.

Some more cameos in the school crowds! Again, this is a very difficult show to Play Spot the Main Character with. I would not have guessed that [Episode 4]>!the owl and the lion-man!< were significant characters if I didn't know already.

Azz explaining the basics of familiars and the rank system. Also, man, Babyls is just a really cool environment aesthetically.

Once again, can you spot the main characters in this crowd scene? There are a few!

"Dignified at all times", we'll see how long *that* lasts.

Something about the lesson guide always gives me the creeps. I think it's the way it jiggles.

Kalego's seal is, I believe, genuinely associated with the demon Naberius in real world occultism. There's a number of references to real world occult traditions in this series, and I'll get into them a bit when we get to season three, since I did a "demon of the week" thing when that originally aired.

Azz really wanted to fight Kalego!

Azz's theme is honestly one of my favorite pieces on the soundtrack.

I like that Kalego's taking notes with some kind of magic floating pen. This is a high magic world! Fantastical things are part of everyday life! Magic has uses besides killing people!

Iruma is too damn cute.

"You're supposed to *push* when this happens!" Kalego how often has this happened to you?

And in this universe, Jotaro is the stand! That's supposed to be a crow, by the way.

[Makubari Dome arc]>!Once again, Kerori is frustrated.!<

Clara makes her debut! And instantly creates chaos. Meet Clara, everyone.

Sukima! I love the cat dashing back and forth.

[Music Festival arc]>!No Purson sightings this episode, at least not that I caught.!<

**First time human sent to demon school, subbed**

**Thoughts on the episode**

* Summoning familiars? This can only end poorly from the vibes of the show I got from episode 1… Which means it will be hilarious (spoilers: it was).

* I know it’s played for laughs, but Iruma’s parents selling him off to a demon is pretty shitty lol. At least Sullivan isn’t a “bad” demon, he just likes to mess around and troll everyone.

* That alarm is terrifying.

* Azz-kun sounds like Ass-kun and that’s funny so I hope that stays for a while.

* Awww the girl that Iruma saved in ep1 has a little crush.

* They got Ono D to voice the teacher? This voice cast gets even more stacked!

* The song that played when Asmodeus was summoning his familiar was so epic??? Was not expecting it to go that hard.

* Alright here we go… How good/OP or laughably terrible will Iruma’s familiar be? Turns out [neither? both?](https://i.imgur.com/iqcVOiZ.jpeg) LMAO. His little familiar form is so cute too! The little piece of hair sticking out makes the design.

* I love how Azz and the rest of the class make Iruma out to be a genius.

* And we end by meeting Clara. Girl seems like a genki riot. Did she name both of her feet? Seems like she’s going to be bringing the energy to round out our main trio.

Looking forward to seeing more of her!

QOTD:

1) ...Can I also take the teacher voiced by Ono D?

2) Extremely cute 100/10

**First Timer**

At this point I'm certain that Iruma's parents sold him for 15 quid and half a pack of cigarettes.

That hellraiser clock makes the same noises I do when I don't want to interact with people.

Azz-kun… I want to take you seriously, please pick any other nickname!

I was going to mention how this familiar summoning reminds me of The Familiar of Zero and then Iruma literally summons a demon as his familiar. Its like poetry, it rhymes.

Yamcha death pose!

I like this gremlin already.

**QOTD**

1) Something fluffy, perhaps [Tippy](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/23/a6/f3/23a6f3a65ef1656a48c7f71e5905985d.jpg)

2) Cute!

**Rewatcher (First Time Dub) Iruma-kun - Ep1/2:**

Yeah, I'm just going to casually join this Rewatch on the second day.

[](#tiredaoi)

Last-minute decision because the main hook to my rewatching experience is going to be exclusively watching this anime on a random 24/7 Iruma channel I have on TV. They only have the dub so it's going to be what I watch. I can't pause, rewind, or take screenshots so these comments are going to be brief and real loosey-goosey. The main reason why I couldn't join the first day is because I had to wait until the marathon rolled back to ep1.

[](#sillyme) (Also, I don't know if they have S3, so that's going to be a problem down the road).

____

**Ep1:** Quick thoughts on Ep1 + initial impression on the dub. I am very used to the Japanese voices so it's a little bit of a shift to the English voices. Based on what I heard so far, I think they sound good enough. Grandpa's voice is the biggest thing to get used to because his voice in JP is so iconic, but he is probably my dub voice so far. My favourite voice work so far has to be the narrator. I find it quite funny.

[Sad warning for Sky] I was looking at information about the dub and learned that Azz was voiced by Billy Kametz. [](#neat) [](#sadholo) His performance is quite nice (some bias because Azz is my favourite of the main characters).


My favourite bit of the episode was Iruma's entrance day speech. Boy's first act on campus was drop the hardest call-out challenge letter.

[](#micdrop)

Bit of a confession: I'm not too hot on the OP. The song is very funky, but also there is also something about it that doesn't quite hit for me. I'm not the biggest fan of the chorus to hear be repeated so often with so much gusto. The ED is cute. I really like hearing that song.

____

**Ep2:** Kalego-sensei is here. Not to always compare the dub/sub, but Kalego is another big shift because his JP VA is so iconic. First impression, doesn't immediately capture me. Would need to listen to it more to get used to it. The episode itself was one of those "Didn't even realize it was already over". Was surprised that the ED already showed up.

That little drawing of Iruma pushing Kalego back into the circle that was briefly on-screen was quite funny.

[](#azusalaugh)

I always find that one teacher who is crushing on Kalego to be funny. She is an audience insert character.

Azz doing his "young wife" voice during the preview.

[](#laughter)

____

**Q1)** I want a bird. Second answer to come to mind would be a big snake, so Azz does have a pretty cool one.


**Q2)** [](#absolutely)

**First Year at Demon School, Dubbed**

Chibi-Egg-Pappy is adorable.

Is this daddy vampire 🏳️‍🌈?

I’m reminded of Kunodon!

That was uncalled for.

This music is like Kahoot music

I feel like I just watched a Yu-Gi-Oh entrance.

Now why you gonna say that, the second you get happy that [event] will or won’t happen, the Universe does the opposite out of spite.

Oooo okay, I ship Daddy and Pappy. One sided enemies to lovers, age gap, colleagues, boss/employee, old/grown.

**g a g g e d**

Aw. My ship 🥀

Not that “Inconceivable” now 😭

>Az: Yet again, I am slain

Forgive me Father for I Have Slayed

May she without tea cast the first shade

Is that the Yamcha pose 😭😭😭

***

**After School Thoughts**

Today really has been 86 day. I got to hear Shin’s JP and EN VA. And Lena’s EN VA.

Iruma reminds of those K novels and manhwa where the MC is Just A Guy ™ trying to survive but everyone acts like he’s playing 4D chess and revere him. I love it. Eat it up every damn time.

Pappy is such a good grandfather. It’s so cute with his embroidery for Iruma. How sweet.

I’m curious how this partnership will work for a year.

I’ma still ship Pappy and Daddy in the meantime.

***

**QotD**

1. Something similar to a nine-tailed fox with horns. I’d be so gagged if I summoned a familiar and my cat came through the portal.
2. He’s super cute!

### First time watcher, subs

Here comes Kalego Naberius, one of the school board members, who got pissed off how Iruma took the spotlight with his performance on the entrance day. And now is back to teach him lesson to know his place. Yes, teaching literally, by how to summon familiars. Which determines how one will be assinged to their class.

This episode shows why Iruma is such a total pushover, because he will do anything what his parents trying to ask him, he cannot say no to be sold to demons. On second note, that was a huge mistake, but cannot be helped.

Life in the Demon World is not a dream, this is the cruel reality. That school anthem with the human eating lyrics, really scared him off, he don't want to go to school, because his race would be exposed to all. But once again proved he is such a total pushover, he cannot say no, and we wants to go, that is what he can to say. That hellraisder clock is so scary for an alarm cuckoo clock.

Looks like day 1 at Babyls is going to be interesting as well for Iruma. Alice, the loyal retinue waited for his lord to arrive, for 6 hours. He is quite an early riser, doesn't he?

The explanation is conducted in a funny way, but quite understandable. It is a blood contract, familiars are not dangerous at all.

Azz pulled a good one, a quite big white serpent. And Iruma stealing the show again, because different outcome goes for the two races: demons can only summon familiars, but humans can summmon demons in the same way, so what can go wrong? Nothing, right? Actually well, he forced Kalego to be his familiar, which is quite surprisng and funny. Quite the sensastion as nobody forced an existing demon into a familiar status. Poor Kalego got traumatized by this, and contract itself which he cannot nullify.

The fame grows. And day 1 was also really memorable.

And looks like a new schoolmate is arrived. Clara, who is quite cheerful, maybe a bit much.

> 1) What sort of familiar would you want to be yours?

Something simple and not so scary.

> 2) How cute do you think Kalego's familiar form is?

Grumpy kind of cute.

**Rewatcher**

Today, I was a 0 on the [season 4]>!Purson Count!<

The white-haired girl is, based off prior anime experience, either going to turn out to be obsessed over Azz, or the secret alter-ego of the Demonrealm's first idol. I wonder if Kalego is a specific kind of demon, like some of the others, or just "demon", and same for his new form. And I know this episode focuses a lot on familiars and such, but that real shit is the ball of green energy knocking over boxes in the hallway! which leads me to:

* 1. As I am a human, I would hope Clara is my familiar. Because Clara is cute and I love her.
* 2. I honestly don't think familiar-Kalego is cute; he's just a generic fluff, there's no form to it, yaknow?

But my question to the readers at home, though, is thus: Connor, or Murf?

Rewatcher

I feel like some of the demons should have realized why Iruma was able to summon a demon, but there must be a reason why that knowledge doesn't exist.

Also, enter best girl, Clara.

First timer


Iruma's parents are the *worse*

Aww, I was a little disappointed the little demon girl didn't get to shoot her shot before the teacher interrupted.

"Azz-kun" - I'm dying of laughter over here.

So now that the teacher is his familiar, is it okay that he's still his teacher? Because couldn't he just command his familiar to give him good grades? Not that Iruma-kun would do that but... 

Sullivan is such a troll. I mean, this teacher already had it out for Iruma because he thinks the kid is just like his grandpa, when really the kid is just clueless. Then the teach ends up being the kids familiar because absolutely no one could fathom that -only- humans summon other demons. I'm sure Sullivan is just rolling at this turn of events cuz he knows Kalego doesn't like him.

I'm kind of amused that Asmodeus became Iruma's instant stan, like chill bro you don't have to overreact to everything.

O_o this new girl Clara. Yikes, it's not like Iruma needs *more* comic relief!


QOTD

1. Honestly no clue, something that would help me clean the house and stay motivated I guess? A sentient vacuum cleaner, maybe?!

2. Too cute! I want to squeeze him to pieces!




Edits: jeez I really can't spell today

002, first timer:

* ... does Iruma, a human, have any chance of becoming Demon King?
* Iruma's purple pajamas are cutesy. Did Sullivan pick them out for him?
* HELL GRAY? lol funny
* ... that clock, who wants to wake up to THAT?
* "I want to go" ... Such a pushover OMG
* "call me "Azz"" [not 'Ass'?](#ero)
* ... will Iruma, a human, be able to summon a familiar?
* The blonde missed her chance again?
* Naberius's VA sounds familiar. Daisuke Ono?
* Expulsion? makes me think of EraserHead from MHA
* Azz gets the badass familiar; will Iruma's be even more impressive?
* Sore wa dou darou ga ... ALMOST a Sore wa dou ka na!
* He WANTS to be expelled?
* HE SUMMONED KALLEGO!? LMAO
* Poor Kallego's dignity ...
* Oh it's for a year? Not lifetime?
* Iruma's gonna become the air? Good luck with that
* Clara seems ditzy

1) Catboy? [](#ero)
2) Eh, kinda embarrassing for him

First timer as of about two months ago.

Second episode thread and I already forgot about the rewatch all evening long, I'll try to do better on that tomorrow.

I think my vote would be for a house cat type familiar, it's one of the classic familiar types and cats are great.

Kalego is very cute as an alternative option however.

**Rewatcher**

I can't stop, gonna watch Ep 3 lmao
