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

**Thoughts on the episode**

* Noooooo the girl who likes Iruma isn’t in his class!! Justice for her.

* This classroom reminds me of Assassination Classroom where it’s in its own special place.

* Ngl I thought the trap was one of Sullivan’s trolls at first. Iruma dodged it like a pro.

* I’ve known Sabro for like 2 seconds but I already love this meathead.

* Did he flex the swords out from him? [](#seasonalshock)

* Noting down this ranking system. I’m sure it will be ~~on the test~~ revisited again in the future.

* Kalego getting stuck with this group. [](#salute)

* Some of these characters are not like the others…. Derpy lion is a mood.

* Oh hey it’s the guy that was banned from the store along with Clara. Makes sense since we saw him yoink some earrings at the start of the episode.

* Oh no, a race where everyone can fly. How will Iruma get out of this one?

* No shame, no hesitation, Kalego sends Iruma off the cliff.

* If Sabro gets a backstory episode, it’s gonna make me cry isn’t it.

* Iruma going the animal taming route. Human blood being instant healing? That’s pretty big. Sheds a bit of light on why humans are considered so delectable in the netherworld.

* Brutal cliffhanger.

Yeah this class seems pretty great. All of the designs are so neat. Wondering what hijinks they’ll get up to.

**Rewatcher, Manga Reader, Subbed**

Sullivan explains the logic behind putting Iruma in the Misfit class. I'm not sure I buy it. I have my own theories about it, but I'll keep them to myself to avoid spoilers.

Clara background gags begin!

Iruma does not skip leg day.

The arrow has a little tail!

Jazz makes his first proper appearance, picking pockets. Remember that we saw this guy was banned from the school store last episode. Now we know why!

Why do they even *have* this classroom?

Of course Clara joins in.

Clara discovers Mount Sabro! There's actually a really interesting story about precisely why Sabro caught all those weapons, we'll see if the anime ever makes it that far, it would be season 5 material.

Some more explanation of the social hierarchy.

Yes, Clara, he's very tall.

They totally stuck Kalego with this class on purpose because they thought it would be funny.

Clara's bloodline ability is excellent for comedy. She can just pull props out as needed.

Unfortunately, Iruma *did* skip wing day.

So now we're getting introduced to the Misfits. Once again, people tend to compare this series to MHA, and the Misfits are another big reason why - there are some undeniable similarities between the Misfifs and Class 1-A, but this series makes way better use of its extended cast. Even the owl is... tolerable. They may all seem fairly one-note now, but I promise that by the end of the series you will love these kids.

Azz, of course, is only in this class because Iruma is, so he's actually very competent.

Sabro's particular brand of stupidity is almost commendable, in a way.

I love Clara so much.

Iruma is a very good boy.

Surprise! Human blood has magical healing properties in the Netherworld. Possibly a clue as to why humans are considered so delicious?

Kindness is rewarded with friendship.

Sukima! Sabro's tail is basically a cat toy.

[Music Festival arc]>!Three Purson sightings! One in the shot of the Misfits clapping, twice when Kalego was taking attendance (including a close-up!). I vaguely recall reading that he's hiding behind someone in the lead up to the flying race, but I couldn't spot him.!<

**First Timer**

This opening is such a banger.

[](#pigeonbeats)

This misfit class seems to be full of mischief.

Clara just doing her thing in the background is great and no one seems to pay any attention to her makes it even funnier.

You know, if all Demons can fly then why didn't grandpa give Iruma an ability to fly? I guess its funnier this way.

This owl doesn't waste a moment. Horny on main.

So humans get eaten because their blood have healing powers? That's an interesting take.

**QOTD**

1) I'd get pierced before I could even blink

2) I'd take the chill route.

**Rewatcher (First Time Dub) Iruma-kun - Ep4:**

Now we get the class full of eccentric characters. Oh, I like Jazz's dub voice. Didn't hear him too much, but it is a shame that Goemon lost his samurai speech in English. Make sense because we don't really have that in English. I guess the closest English analogy would make him sound old-timey/Shakespearean, but that would step on Sabnock’s territory, and you wouldn’t want character overlap.

[](#harukathonk)

> "I summoned a Kelpie which has more legs than yours, so I win."

Can't argue with that. He's right.

[](#biiru) [](#kotohoops)

The background joke of Clara measuring Sabnock's height. All the background Clara/Sabnock bits are fun. As we all know, peak character friendship dynamic is big guy/little guy.

[](#absolutely)

The chibi drawings of Clara are also always so fun. Her doing the "Let's go!" while on Azz's back was another simply fun drawing. Oh yeah, haven’t mentioned it yet, but the post-credits segment drawings are also super cute.

____

**Q1)** I actually distinctly remember my first impression of the Misfit Class. I hated them. Back when I first watched, I found their eccentric personalities to be so forced. Now, after having seen more of them, I've mostly rolled that back. In particular, I did not like Shax. Nowadays, he is not my favourite, but I certainly don't hold it against him anymore.

**First Year at Demon School, Dubbed**

Az just…is in his own little world, good for him.

Gotta Dodge ‘Em All

Gotta Catch ‘Em All

All right. How is this musclebrained man a student?

I don’t know if the Mane 6 would agree with Az’s understanding of friendship, but he’s got spirit.

Bratty batty daddy 🙌🏾

He’s such a diva, I love him.

Oh you need to dial it back, Owl.

I don’t blame the birds, the fuck are you just stealing eggs just because?

Az was destined to he in a “mon” franchise, ISTFG. He has that Rival energy. He has ✨presentation✨.

>Help me, Az-Az. You’re my only hope

Okay. Okay, so probably everything I thought was a coincidence is a reference now.

If humans are that valuable, now I’m afraid there’s gonna be a horrible trafficking ring that seedy demons participate in.

***

**After School Thoughts**

Humans having healing abilities worries me so much for Iruma’s safety even more than before.

The teaching at the school is so bizarre. Maybe demons don’t care about their kids cuz that’s said pretty casually about retrieving body parts and calling it a day. That’s one fantasy worldbuilding thing I don’t get. That and some other things.

I need a keychain of Chibi-Egg-Pappy.

***

**QotD**

1. **A** Confused why anyone would mess with Pappy’s grandson. **B** No. To this day, the only class I want to be in is E-class. And now I’m so curious what the rankings are for which classroom people would want to be in the most.
2. Easiest one. I get distracted easily, so I need something low effort so I don’t accidentally die.

Rewatcher

Clara chaotic energy gags galore. I should really take time to screenshot some things. Lots of good gags here.


For newbies: In the OP and ED, there's an idol singer that appears in the OP and ED. Excluding the monster, every character that appeared in both the OP and ED has AT LEAST appeared during the entrance ceremony, and most of them have been formally introduced in some manner by this episode with us finally getting the misfit class.

But where's the idol girl? WHO is the idol girl?

I'd be interested in hearing what newcomers' hypotheses are regarding the idol girl.

[](#salute)

Manga reader, first time watcher:

Man, I forgot Iruma's grandpa was the one who put them in ~~Class E~~ the Misfit Class. Guess I just imagined it being Kalego.

Sullivan evidently didn't think through how to deal with the lack of flight.

> Yeah, bad habit, sorry! [Doesn't stop to return the neckaces]

Oh Jazz.

"Ten *known* ranks?" The narrator doesn't know?

> 1) Would you like to be in that class with them?

Homicide attempt aside they seem like a pretty entertaining bunch. So sure why not.

> 2) Assuming Cutthroat Valley wasn't banned, which path would you have chosen to take?

I'm not sure why simply overflying the whole course isn't an option, but between the two I'd take the non-cutthroat valley option. While the valley might be physically shorter, with all the dangers you'd have to navigate the time to clear it's probably not much better than the normal course.

> Iruma, Asmodeus, and Clara

The gang's all here!

004, first timer:

* IruAzz still going strong
* "want to strengthen your legs" LOL
* Poor Eiko
* A thief? Must be why Jazz was banned from that store
* ... Betting on if Iruma could dodge?
* Sabnock Sabro has HALLOW Kanda's VA? He sounds different though
* Yodh?
* He uses "nushi" and "unu" as pronouns? Weird
* OH they use Hebrew letters as ranks?
* Sabro SOREDEMO
* Friendship speech?
* Blood pact? Willingness to die?
* ... They're going to find out Iruma can't fly?
* .... of course it's a flying race
* CLARA IS ON AZZ's BACK?
* Clara is just too adorable
* Iruma making friends with the boss's kid?
* Oh his blood healed the bird? Getting Kanda+Marie vibes there
* Of course this will lead to Iruma getting top rank?

First timer as of about two months ago.

Great group of classmates, but once again with the dodging ability of Iruma I think I'd just die. Same for avoiding Cutthroat Valley.

One of my favorite parts of this show (of which there are many) are the background gags with Clara just goofing off, such as her trying to measure Sabro.

For whatever reason, Iruma healing the bird monster in the nest with his blood gave me goosebumps when I originally watched this episode, I think from the implication that it was a really important moment.

Manga Reader, Rewatcher, Dubbed

Episode 4 introduces the rest of the Misfit Class! They may not play the most important roles now but each and every one of them will have their own chance to shine eventually! This group is probably one of my favorite classes in fiction aside from Camui.

QOTD

1. A. When I first watched this show (I watched it before I read the manga), I actually wasn’t that into them as characters at first. However, that quickly grew to change as I spent more and more time with them! By the time I started reading past the anime I had fallen in love with them. B. Hell yeah!

2. I love taking risks. As such I probably would’ve chosen Cutthroat Valley!

First timer (subs)


This is going to be short because I'm a little late and I couldn't help myself and watched ahead. Also, I'm bad at keeping spoilers to myself because I get everything jumbled up so I'll just answer the questions of the day. 


QOTD


1. I wouldn't mind being in this class. Honestly they seem like "normal" students. However, I've been told my gauge for normal is a little distorted.


2. I'm overly cautious so I would take the less dangerous route.
