English Dub Review: Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun “Kalego-sensei’s Home Visit”

OVERVIEW (SPOILERS)

Kalego makes his rounds visiting all the homes of the Misfit class to give their parents and guardians an update on their child’s time in school.

OUR TAKE

And so, this oddly paced and unorthodox arc comes to an end with a rather wholesome story about Professor Kalego making trips to all the kids houses. Not the most intense or high stakes sort of story, but a nice and pleasant way of slowing things down and fleshing out his character a bit. Since the beginning of this series, Kalego has not exactly been on the best of terms with everyone in this class, especially Iruma, but I think it’s been consistently clear how much he cares about his position as a teacher. He may grill the class for extra homework and tests from time to time and make them go on a purposefully futile task of gaining signatures to use a better classroom…well, that last one doesn’t sound so good, but overall I think he’s basically been fine. As we see here, he’s not exactly going around and badmouthing every kid directly to their parents’ faces, just noting their respective improvements and where they still NEED improvement. He even has nice things to say about Clara, which I thought was impossible. Either way, it’s a nice opportunity to both learn more about Kalego and see all the homes of characters we haven’t seen before. We’ve seen Clara’s mom and siblings a few times, but not Asmodeus or the others.

Also interesting is that we get a bit more of a peek at his backstory and time at school. We had gotten a little bit of info about it in how he was friends with Balem, who we see in these flashbacks but with a much smaller build than he has in the present day. But the new tidbit we learn is that he is old acquaintances with Opera, Sullivan’s butler who I have not had a single reason to bring up before now because he was just simply not worth mentioning up until this very moment. And I doubt he’ll have much reason to be mentioned later, frankly. But yeah, Opera apparently sported a similar hairstyle to Kalego in their school days, which actually led to weird rumors being spread about Kalego that I imagine only got worse once Opera changed his look and left him looking like the only culprit. We also get some set up for the next arc, which will take place at Walter Park, a park I imagine is focused solely on the comedic stylings of Star Trek’s Walter Koening. I’m probably wrong, but we’ll find out next week.
