**Thoughts on the episode**
* Ameri made the student council room look like First Love Memories! That’s really cute.
* NOOOOO IRUMA don’t turn Ameri’s invitation down [](#frustration)
* Maybe Kiriwo is just a hot mess like everyone else. He still does seem a little *too* perfect for Iruma’s exact situation at the moment. Especially if he wants to eliminate the gap between demons. I do feel better about Iruma being there with Azz and Clara at least.
* Iruma showed up for Ameri [](#grandhype)
* Oooooo the Thirteen’s Dinner. Sounds like a place to get some more world LORE. Sullivan isn’t a Yodh yet? Is he sandbagging or is the gap really that big? Also I guess all of Ameri’s family have French first names.
* I love how the 3 on the 666th floor are just arguing over whose grandchild is the cutest LOL. It’s no wonder the throne is still empty.
* SULLIVAN GOT ARRESTED??? I guess he did break some sort of law/code but still. You can’t lock up one of the best characters in this show like that! [](#angrypout)
QOTD:
1) I'm already in the student council battler
2) I want to see more of Ameri's dad and family
I don't have much to say during the Battler segments.
> "Thus ends the Battler trial period. That's right, it's totally over."
Maannn, the narrator absolutely murders Ameri.
[](#pointandlaugh)
Oh, Ameri is only a second year and is concretely the student pres everyone adores. Babyls has 6 years, so she really secured that spot early.
Was not expecting the gag with Lord Paimon's accent. That hit me by surprise.
[](#kotohoops)
The three apexes of the demon world, and it is just a petty grandparent off at the retirement home. The others even go egg-shaped like Grandpa, too.
[](#kukuku)
(Oh yeah, and Egg grandpa gets arrested).
[Six??](#kotourashock)
>(Oh yeah, and Egg grandpa gets arrested).
Its so joever
[](#shatteredsaten)
Ameri is really excited for the new member she's not getting!
And Kirio is out like a light.
Ameri seems very shocked to learn that Iruma didn't know something she never told him.
Iruma is a good boy.
So basically this club studies and makes magic items. Which is obviously something Iruma would be interested in, since he needs an item rod magic himself.
Kirio, you really need to take it easy.
Oh, so this is what he was working on last episode! I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Iruma solving the Millennium Puzzle in record time.
Our boy is actually a fairly capable mechanic.
Wow, Kirio didn't even cough up blood that time! Nice work, Gabuko-chan.
Iruma is a good boy who sympathizes with good causes. [Battler Party arc]>!It's a shame Kirio is lying.!<
Ah, but what Battler *does* Iruma want to join? It seems like he's found a place that suits his talents!
Aw. A smile that must be protected. I think this is the first time we've ever seen Iruma so genuinely happy.
Poor Ameri. [Harvest Festival arc]>!At least she got Naphula.!< And the decorations didn't go to waste.
Oh, right, Sullivan has a job. Time for some worldbuilding!
Having a Babel and a Babyls in the same world is a bit confusing, but eh.
So we meet the rulers of the Netherworld, the Thirteen Crowns. Well, most of them. Just to clear up any possible confusion, both the Three Greats and the missing Demon King are considered members of the Thirteen Crowns, which makes the numbers add up.
Henri looking like an older, male version of his daughter, [Henri Flashback arc]>!though not as much as he used to!<. Also, Babyls is clearly an important school, since it has no less than three students with relatives on the Thirteen Crowns.
Paimon butting heads with the screen layout is a cute gag. [Harvest Festival arc]>!And it happens again later!!<
Paimon clearly has good taste. But also Sullivan is, surprisingly, *not* Rank 10. That's a bit strange, I wonder why that is?
Oh wait, [Golden Lions arc]>!actually four Babyls students have relatives on the Crowns.!<
[Battler Party arc]>!I like the misdirect here. It's easy to assume that that picture of Iruma was sent by Ameri, but of course with later knowledge it's obvious that it's part of the anonymous tip Baal just sent Henri.!<
Behold, the greatest demons in the Netherworld! And also Sullivan's bridge club!
[Thirteen's Dinner arc (not this episode)]>!Those photos actually could be a younger Berry and Leiji.!<
Belial is so short compared to the others.
He also has an egg form. I wonder if Levi does?
Sullivan speaking for the audience here.
Plot twist! Sullivan's under arrest!
Sukima! The Student Council are honestly such goofballs.
Ameri setting up the student council office to welcome Iruma is so wholesome.
Kiriwo sure is weak with magic. I like him in a world-building perspective. It is somewhat interesting to know that since magic is everything in the netherworld those that possess very little are looked down upon. It might also be a future plot point where a high ranking demon might want to shut down Kiriwo's work. Let's see if my prediction is correct.
New Iruma lore but its the what we already knew. His life before sucked.
I love every interaction with Ameri and Iruma. Surprised it only took 2 hours to explain everything to Ameri.
The Thirteen's Dinner was rather "normal". Why does the butler guy have picture of Iruma? Is he demanding Opera to bring him pictures of ~~spiderman~~ Iruma?
The Three Greats is just a session to brag about their grandchildren? [](#azusalaugh)
So the butler is Ameri's dad and he is here to arrest Sully?! Just because of an one single teensy-weensy kidnapping.
**QOTD**
1) Maybe, it could be fun to just tinker with something.
2) Paimon caught my eye.
He even had permission of the parents! This is outrageous!
Why is it always the blood vomit 😭
Tsundereeeeee. I wish her ears moved to show her mood like Opera’s does.
…what is this demon’s queer alphabet if he has one? The halfway card had me curious who he is blushing for.
I want to see Opera’s ears twitch again.
Ugh. Pappy and Korosensei would absolutely get along with their chaos.
Ooo who is that wolf and is he single?
Oh hi Astaroh, we loved a locs diva.
**Why does she have a US Southern accent?**
Old folks having a card game battle with their grandkids being the “cards” is amazing.
Ameri has such baby himbos for subordinates, I love that.
***
**After School Thoughts**
Who on earth would even see Sullivan cross into the human world?
Kiriwo seems suspect. Any time there’s way too much explicit emphasis on how weak and fragile and sickly a character is, that’s when I don’t trust it.
We’ll see 🤨
***
**QotD**
1. I think I’m in the fluffy fluff rule one.
2. The wolf. I can’t remember his name now. But the wolfman/werewolf. I like him.
She has a bizarre and very thick accent in Japanese too, so that was just how the dub decided to localize it I guess.
Good on the localization team for that though. Just surprised me!
IIRC, those are actually her horns, whereas Opera has genuine ears.
> …what is this demon’s queer alphabet if he has one? The halfway card had me curious who he is blushing for.
Iruma x Kirio is a modestly popular ship. [Battler Party arc]>!Although to be clear it's *very* toxic.!<
> Why does she have a US Southern accent?
[Minor Paimon trivia]>!Paimon is from a poor rural background and while she adopts the appearance of an elegant lady, she hasn't ditched her accent.!< The dub goes with a Southern drawl because it has the right stereotypes.
> Ameri has such baby himbos for subordinates, I love that.
The Student Council try to look serious, but they're all lovable goofs under the uniform.
Oh I looked that spoiler, oh my 🫣
Now I’m extra curious how Azz will handle Kiriwo because I can foresee him angrily derailing any plans Kiriwo has unless Kiriwo is slier than I think he is 🤔
Since characters stopped bleeding out of their noses all that extra blood had to go *somewhere*
[](#yuishrug)
>Ooo who is that wolf and is he single?
*hol up*
>Who on earth would even see Sullivan cross into the human world?
The government sees all.
[](#gendo-pls)
* Even the Student Council thought Ameri was inviting Azz
* Girl is thoroughly Hatsukoi-pilled
* Kiriwo how do you even function
* Ponder the orb
* Iruma the puzzlemaster, trained on... making his own lightbulbs D:
* PONDER THE ORB
* There's those goals again
* Iruma breaking the news to Ameri, but at least he showed proper appreciation for the effort
* Naturally, where Iruma goes, so too do Clara and Azz follow
* Grandpa sparing no expense to capture Iruma's every action
* Time to meet the top demons... and they are quite the mix (that absent Asomodeus's title...)
* Even Sullivan isn't a Yodh
* And to the 666th Floor for the top of the top where only the most important matters are discussed
* Sorry Iruma, you got sold because Sullivan was jealous
* And now Grandpa's going to Border Cop Jail (which, uh, hits different at the moment here in the Twin Cities, sorry Ameri, I have to yell at your dad now).
* At least you can have more dates with Iruma
1) Sure, but they wouldn't be my first choice (Library all the way)
2) Paimon (for the Kansai Goth Loli gap) or Astaroth (for the story behind that transparent top)
* They still think she invited Asmodeus?
* LOL the decorations are inspired by that manga?
* Kiriwo is kinda cute too?
* Kiriwo gonna steal Iruma away from Ameri?
* Should I start shipping Kiriwo x Iruma? Not sure what the age gap is there; I can't tell just by their appearance
* Kiriwo is giving off Kabuto vibes. Must be the glasses?
* Iruma should join Kiriwo's club
* Oh good, Azz and Clara joined too
* ... he never visited the Student Council? After all they decorated?
* At least he visited late
* Oh wow, Tower of Babel?
* Azazel Henri kinda reminds me of Cross Marian
* Sullivan isn't a Yodh yet?
* "did u kidnap" ["no comment"](#nocomment) [](#laughter)
* Oh Henri is Ameri's dad?
* A warrant? Sullivan is getting detained? [](#panic)
1) no, I'd join the Library Battler!
2) Henri
Kirio is a third year. The fanbook gives his visible age as sixteen, same as Ameri.
Interesting that the magical apparatus battler room has what looks like a torii gate among the piles of stuff.
Poor Ameri, all that waiting only for Iruma to be late and to have joined the wrong club.
Grandpa Sullivan has finally been arrested for his crimes, it was only a matter of time.
Maybe? Magitech is always interesting in a fantasy setting.
I'm most curious about Principal Spirit Paimon and that Henri guy. After all, he's going to be Iruma's father in law someday.
[Spolers]>!bruh, I just checked and OP 2 only shows up in S2 [](#bruh)!<
Also, Rip Sullivan I guess. Never fuck around with the tax office
