English Dub Review: Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun “Victory Salute”

Overview

Iruma and the Misfit Class learn the results of the Music Festival, and Purson has a chat with his father.



Our Take

Picking up from the previous episode, the story finally delivers a celebratory and emotionally satisfying conclusion to the Music Festival arc, with the Misfit Class finally receiving recognition for all their growth and hard work. The episode balances comedy, heartfelt character moments, and the lingering emotional impact of the performance itself, especially through Purson’s development and his decision to fully embrace both his individuality and his place within the class. Even smaller interactions, from Kalego’s awkward praise to Purson finally speaking honestly with his father, reinforce how much these characters have evolved since the beginning of the series.

The festival results themselves are handled with dramatic flair, particularly through Poro’s over-the-top judging style and the reveal of the class’s final score. The promotions feel earned across the board, with Iruma’s advancement standing out as a major milestone that highlights just how far he has come. At the same time, the episode keeps the lighthearted charm the series is known for, mixing emotional payoff with absurd humor, wholesome celebrations, and the chaotic family dynamic that makes the Misfit Class so enjoyable to watch.

Overall, the episode serves as a triumphant victory lap for one of the series’ strongest arcs, prioritizing emotional payoff, character growth, and class unity over major plot progression. While hints of future conflict quietly emerge in the background, the main focus remains on celebrating how much the Misfit Class has matured, making the ending feel both uplifting and rewarding without losing the warmth and comedic energy that defines the series.
