English Dub Review: Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun “The Instructors’ Banquet”

Overview

The night that the Harvest Festival ended, the instructors of Babyls got together at a pub to celebrate. Kalego usually never goes to these outings, but Balam catches him and forces him to go. Robin is getting ahead of himself as usual and the group even talks about Kalego’s days as a newbie instructor. What is the most important thing about being an instructor at Babyls? We also get to see what happened to Ocho after he escaped into the jungle after the Harvest Festival.

Our Take

In what almost feels like a “recap” episode of sorts, the teachers within the Demon School are having their own private party away from the students and reminisce about their experiences while the party itself is used as a framing device. Now it’s the matter of promoting the rest of the Misfit Class into Rank 4 Dalet, but first, the afterparty for all, including the Babyls teachers, with Balam and Professor Kalego joining the instructors’ banquet. The host Robin proceeds to make all the right moves such as Momonoki getting frazzled sitting next to her crush that is Kalego, and the latter’s mentor being supervisor Dantalion Dali, it was a story of the same old Kalego, with Iruma being the new spotlight of the students throughout the incidents in Season 2 and 3 thus far. The instructors’ oath/motto was certainly frightening at the least.

It also turns out that the “2nd Faith” cult ACTUALLY exists, and Robin from Season One was withholding his bloodline power all along to exact justice towards Ocho, but as a warning. Even goes as far as to have a bingo tournament, and because of the troublesome prize, he doesn’t want to admit it, and being called out by Balam is just the funniest thing. And with Baal pulling the strings behind the scenes, and while Ami isn’t happy with how Ocho treated him, the truth is finally known about Iruma’s big secret, and this only spites Ami further for Baal to instigate a manhunt…

With two episodes left, it looks like some new stakes have now been set up and a new threat has been introduced. Now I really wanna see how Orobas would react to being told an actual cult for being number two existed. Chances are they’d worship him if he ever actually met them. But now that the major antagonists know Iruma’s big secret, I’m pretty sure that everyone at the school who actually gives a shit about Iruma now and wants to protect his ass (at the very least the teachers and the misfit classmates), but this is a point of contention that was bound to happen at some point…
