akumapulserated Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun Season 4
Yeah, so Season 4 of *Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun* is here, and honestly? Babyls still feels less like a proper demon school and more like a place that specializes in turning regular school stuff into absolute chaos. And I’m not even mad about it. Quick recap if you’re new: Iruma’s parents are the worst. Genuinely awful. They straight-up sell him to a powerful demon named Sullivan. But instead of becoming dinner, Iruma gets adopted by this ridiculously doting grandpa figure and ends up at Babyls, a school full of demons who would probably eat him if they ever found out he’s human. What started as pure survival mode has somehow turned into one of the warmest found-family stories around. Wild how that happened. This season is mostly the Music Festival arc. The whole Misfit Class—all thirteen of them—have to hit Rank 4 or they lose their special classroom and all the good stuff that comes with it. Their big plan? Put on a school performance that doesn’t completely bomb. Imagine your entire future hanging on one talent show. That’s these kids right now. And finally, after three seasons of basically being a background ghost, Purson Soi gets actual screen time. The quiet kid whose whole thing is staying invisible finally steps up, and his story about wanting to be seen hits way harder than it has any right to. The class is still the best part. Iruma remains the softest, most earnest protagonist out there, slowly figuring out what he actually wants instead of just reacting to everything. Azz is still ridiculously devoted. Clara is still pure chaos in human (well, demon) form. And the rest of the group just vibes in the best way. Their friendships feel real, and watching them try to pull off this performance together is genuinely fun. Purson’s arc is the real win of the season. Turning a three-season gag into something with actual heart is peak *Iruma-kun*. The Music Festival itself is the highlight. It’s not about some world-ending threat. It’s just a bunch of weirdos figuring out how to work together, push past their own stuff, and put on a show. Somehow that ends up being more satisfying than half the high-stakes anime out there. That said, the pacing can drag a bit. Twenty-four episodes is a lot for what basically feels like one main arc plus some extra. There are stretches where it’s just the class being goofy for a while, and while it’s charming, you sometimes wish they’d pick up the pace. The Dem-Dol Games stuff is fun for a change of scenery, but it also kind of overstays. And yeah, the “Iruma is so nice that everyone’s problems get fixed” formula is still going strong—you can see the pattern pretty clearly by now. Animation-wise, it’s the same colorful, expressive style as always. Nothing mind-blowing, but the faces and comedy timing still work great. The music fits the vibe too, especially the festival numbers. Overall, Season 4 is another solid, cozy entry. It doesn’t try to reinvent itself, and it doesn’t need to. The characters are still lovable disasters, the heart is still there, and I’m somehow still emotionally invested in a classroom full of demons and one very overwhelmed human kid. If you’ve been riding with the series this long, you’ll probably have a good time. Just maybe don’t expect every episode to fly by. Still rooting for these weirdos. Somebody give Iruma a normal weekend already.
