About the mysterious student in the OP you mention. He got his own arc way later in the series. His family power spoiler[is that no one notice them, even his classmate don't even know him exist.].

This arc basically kick the series into high gear since after this the focus in Iruma classmate increase. iruma still the center of the story but his classmate have more chance to shine and play off other characters in the series.

Who is that student who keeps fading out of existence and then reappearing on either side of the Misfit Class when they're all in shadow?

His name is Purson, according to the OP, and he's been lurking around since S1E1.

I really enjoyed seeing the other students get to show off their powers. But Evil Iruma actually is kinda evil with how he's been trifling with the affections of first Clara and now Ameri. I hope that comes back to bite him while he's still evil, since Good Iruma shouldn't have to deal with the fallout (if there is any) of things he wouldn't have even thought to do.

Shocked You're right! I was too busy looking at Keroli and forgetting her alter ego's name; I guess I thought SHE was Purson.Embarassed

Me too! Allocer and Elizabetta were especially nice, since they're usually just sort of there.

I though Sabnock just being responsible and apologizing to the teacher for attacking him with a battle-axe was very cute. Irumas selfie with grandpa and Opera was also cute

The interesting thing to me about looking back at that first ep is that most of the Misfits were already gravitating together from their first day. Of course that wasn't their first day of school, so they could all be childhood friends or something. But it could be Misfit Magnetism at work too!

I also feel like someone mentioned Purson before, because I remember thinking it was odd since it sounded like "person." But I can't find it, and I might've dreamed it up or heard it in another anime, since I guess Purson is an actual (for some values of "actual") Great King of Hell (and a band).

I certainly didn't notice Purson by this point in the manga (even though, as Gina points out, he's definitely been around the entire time), so good eye, Rebecca!

Since Rebecca brought Purson to my attention, I've started compulsively trying to find him, like playing "Where's Anubis?" in Kamigami no Asobi. Very Happy He was awol during all of Ep. 8, until the very last group pic.

Also I've only just today realized that the Misfit Class has 13 members, because of course it does.

...we also finally see Purson show up in the story, right there at the very end of the episode: he's included on the right in the class picture. Since previously I haven't noticed him anywhere but the opening and ending themes, this may indicate where the story is going next.

He's been around. He has appeared in Ep. 1, 6, 7, and 8 this season. The ones he didn't appear in, well, neither did most of the other Misfits. But I think he's been there all along, just invisible, like the way he fades out in the ED and shows up elsewhere. Like in Ep. 6, when the whole class was confronting Kalego, he only appeared once, standing between Keroli and Camui, but vanished in the next shot. And unsurprisingly, Iruma has noticed he's a classmate, since he included him in his fantasy about them all playing around on the big statue in the Royal One.

What I still want to know after this episode is what did Jazz steal from Kalego at the grand opening? Twisted Evil

You're right! Shocked I think I've been confusing him with Keroli if I don't look closely enough - that hair and those horns are some great misdirection.

Both Clara and Asmodeus are at their best in this episode, especially Azz as he takes it upon himself to try to make studying fun and productive for someone who consistently scores lower than Clara on quizzes.


ahh I loved the quiz part. I especially enjoyed seeing the demon version of 'who wants to be a millionaire?' and I think Takeshi's Castle(?)

I also found Balam-sensei to be a bit unhinged. Based on comments from manga readers, it seems like he's going to be a great character?

Honestly, Clara and Az glomping onto Iruma is the friendship dynamic they have, and it makes me smile to see it. Obviously in this case, it's because of "evil-phase Iruma," but it's heartwarming to see friends care about each other like that.

Have also been noticing (mostly in episode 8) that in the classmate reaction panning shots, they almost always cut the massive Sabnoc out of frame above his pectorals, lol. Thought it was a pretty funny background joke.

Ameri giving Schenell to Iruma's battler is actually she helping Iruma. Remember that a battler can only stay open if they have at least one third year student which Schenell happen to be. So she found a place for Schenell to use his skills while help Iruma's battler stay open.
