The Misfit Class finally gets its big moment
Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun Season 4 Episode 7 is the kind of episode that reminds you why this series works so well when it focuses on the whole class, not just Iruma himself.
This week’s episode centres almost entirely on the Misfit Class’ stage performance, and honestly, that was the right call. Instead of rushing through the show or cutting away too often, the episode lets viewers sit with the performance like we are part of the Babylis audience. For fans who enjoy the school festival energy of anime, this one really hits.
The big standout is how the performance uses every member of the class properly. Keroli’s choreography does not feel random; it matches the students’ personalities and gives each demon a chance to contribute. Elizabetta gets a particularly strong showcase, with Kaede Hondo’s singing helping sell the musical side of the episode. Even if you are not usually a musical theatre person, the energy here is hard to deny.
Purson’s return is the emotional payoff
The heart of the episode is Purson. He has been absent for most of the day, but the Misfit Class still builds their performance around the belief that he will appear. That faith comes from Iruma, but it is not treated like a simple “main character inspires everyone” moment. The class trusts Purson because they have accepted him as one of their own.
That matters. Purson is not being used as a gimmick or a surprise reveal. The performance is designed in a way that allows him to join without forcing him too far outside his comfort zone, while still letting him show what he can do. When he finally appears and the crowd realises who he is, the payoff lands because the episode has spent enough time making that belief feel earned.
For Malaysian and SEA anime fans who follow seasonal shows week by week, this is the kind of episode that usually gets clipped and shared in group chats. Not because it has a huge fight scene, but because it nails the emotional team moment. It is very “kelas kita boleh” energy — everyone pulling together, trusting the quiet member, and celebrating when he finally steps forward.
Iruma takes a step back, and that is the point
What is interesting is how little Iruma needs to dominate the episode. This is still his story, but Episode 7 understands that his biggest strength is not always being the flashiest person in the room. Here, he supports the others, keeps faith in Purson, and lets his classmates shine.
That makes the arc feel stronger. Iruma is the connector — the person who helps the Misfit Class become more than just a group of chaotic students. By staying in the background, he proves why everyone rallies around him in the first place.
There is also a technical note worth mentioning for international viewers. According to the review, the English dub version keeps the singing, but the songs are not subtitled, which makes the stage-show experience harder to enjoy. For SEA fans who often rely heavily on subtitles, especially when watching anime across different languages, that kind of missing translation can really affect the episode. In a performance-driven chapter like this, lyrics are not just decoration; they carry the emotion.
Why Episode 7 matters
Episode 7 feels like a culmination of the Misfit Class’ growth so far. It is not just about keeping the Royal One or impressing the judges. It is about showing that this class has become a genuine unit, quirks and all.
For anyone following Iruma-kun on Crunchyroll, this is a proper feel-good episode with real payoff. No massive battle needed, no over-the-top twist required. Just a class performance, one shy demon stepping into the light, and a reminder that this series is at its best when it lets its weird little family be weird together.
