English Dub Review: Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun “The Dorodoro Brothers’ Provocation”

Overview

The Asmodeus and Sabnock pair and the Dorodoro Brothers were in the middle of hunting down a Hundred Flapple. The Dorodoro Brothers wanted to take back their master from Asmodeus and Sabro because they believed that they were their master’s number one pupils. Both Asmodeus and Sabro end up falling for the brothers’ provocation, but they didn’t realize that the provocation itself had to do with the brothers’ abilities. Asmodeus then proceeds to retaliate by unleashing a new trick up his sleeve…

Our Take

The Harvest Festival continues, this time with the Dorodoro Brothers’ provocation against both Asmodeus and Sabnock in the nighttime when everyone was asleep. And it works well, at least until it fails miserably… It turned out the brothers thought Furfur was the teacher for Asmodeus and Sabnock, but it was just a huge misunderstanding. One thing is for certain though, you insult Iruma, and Asmodeus will go crazy. Seeing his evil cycle was quite something though.

The Hundred Flaringo’s cherry-hanging neck fruit is one tough ingredient to separate, but it’s the teamwork that decides the win, and both Asmodeus and Sabnock under the spell of the Brothers’ Wrath (Switch) bloodline ability from the Peacock of Provocation Androalphus family, they think that they can fool them both, at least for the brainless Sabnock and not the Iruma-Kun mind-focused Asmodeus. The thing is, both brothers were subjected to this and escaped as their lives depended on it until Balam noticed and taught them the way he knew how…

Overall, I have to admit, this arc has been frustratingly slow so far, I completely get giving other characters a moment to shine outside of the titular Iruma, but we’ve yet to see how far he’s progressed outside a few comical scenes and the show keeps trying to build up an “antagonist” of sorts as hinted in the intro. At the very least, The “evil cycle” scene was fun nonetheless. What happens in the next episode, I remain puzzled yet hopeful that all of this will culminate into something big on a narrative scale.
