Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun [Season 2 Episode 1 to Episode 21]

Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun Season 2: A Wholesome Yet Thrilling Ride

If you’re looking for an anime that perfectly balances humor, heartwarming moments, and a sprinkle of demonic chaos, Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun Season 2 delivers in spades. Picking up right where the first season left off, this 21-episode run (aired from April to September 2021) dives deeper into Iruma Suzuki’s life in the Netherworld, blending slice-of-life charm with a growing undercurrent of ambition—something fans have been eagerly dissecting.

The Story So Far

For the uninitiated, Iruma-kun follows the misadventures of Iruma, a human boy sold to the demon Sullivan (who, by the way, is the most wholesome grandpa ever). Now enrolled in Babyls Demon School, Iruma must navigate demon society while hiding his human identity. Season 2 ramps up the stakes, exploring Iruma’s growing confidence, his friendships, and—most intriguingly—his potential path to becoming the next Demon King.

From the explosive “Evil Cycle” arc (where Iruma embraces his darker side) to the Walter Park escapades (think demonic Disneyland gone wild), the season never loses its playful energy. Yet, it also sneaks in deeper themes, like Iruma questioning what it truly means to lead—or rule.

Fan Reactions: The Good, the Funny, and the Hype

Scouring forums like MyAnimeList, it’s clear fans adored this season. Here’s what stood out:

1. “Dark Iruma” Steals the Show
   The “Evil Cycle” arc was a fan favorite, with Iruma’s suave, confident alter-ego sparking endless memes. One user gushed, “Evil Iruma was cool, but next season will prove regular Iruma isn’t just a cinnamon roll—he’s got guts!”

2. Grandpa Sullivan’s Wisdom
   The finale’s shopping trip with Sullivan and Opera was a highlight. Fans loved the bonding moments, especially when Iruma asked Sullivan why he never became Demon King. “That scene in the park? Cherry on top of the cake,” wrote one viewer.

3. The Demon King Tease
   The introduction of Derkila, the previous Demon King, had fans buzzing. Many noticed his voice sounded suspiciously like Ali (Iruma’s ring spirit). “Ali’s name is Derkila backwards—coincidence? I think not!” one Redditor pointed out.

4. Season 3 Hype
   The announcement of Season 3 was met with universal joy. “Walter Park was awesome, but the Harvest Festival arc? That’s gonna be next-level,” predicted a manga reader.

What Works (and What Doesn’t)

While the season was a hit, some critiques popped up:
– Pacing: A few fans felt the Walter Park arc dragged slightly, though others argued it was packed with character growth.
– Fanservice: One user noted, “This season leaned a bit too much into fanservice, but the plot twists made up for it.”
– Finale Feels: The last episode was called “pleasant but not grand” by some, though most agreed it set up Season 3 perfectly.

Final Verdict: 9/10

Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun Season 2 is a rare gem—a sequel that outshines its predecessor. It’s funny, heartfelt, and packed with just enough lore to keep you theorizing. Whether you’re here for the chaotic classmates (looking at you, Clara), the Ameri-Iruma ship, or the looming Demon King prophecy, this season nails it.

And with Season 3 on the horizon, one thing’s certain: Iruma’s journey is far from over. As one fan perfectly put it: “This show makes me believe in the power of wholesome demons. Bring on the next chapter!”
