Its Irumas Birthday!!!

It’s Iruma’s birthday!!!

I don’t have anything prepared because I’ve been busy so…here’s screenshots I like from his birthday in the manga.

Also very interesting because they was a chapter today where he was addressed as Sullivan Iruma. I will gush about that later.

He got to bring out his bow again for his birthday! Every time he brings it out is instantly hype.

Hello My dearest friends,🌟

chill man nobody is gonna take him from you 😭😭😭😭😭

Yeah, I don’t think they know who he is. I think after Delkira he cast away the title entirely believing no one would ever be able to outclass him anyway (and also being depressed that his life’s purpose was stripped from him). And since his identity was a secret anyway, no one would have reason to believe this random high ranking demon was him. Not to mention he changes ages too. As to how he became a crown, that’s tough to say. Did he sense that the Netherworld was changing and he wanted to get in on it? Did he hear a rumor about the trickster plan? Maybe he just wanted to change things up (after all it could get boring being immortal)? And if any of these options are true, did he just magic himself in order or…? Maybe he has been up to shit since then and just caught their attention as a potential candidate?

Either way, now Azami knows his full name AND title and uhhhh, that’s definitely not good for Iruma. They thought it was bad if another crown supported him? Now this is THE Kingmaker showing support. We can only presume he’s going to tell Narnia about who he truly is and I’m not excited for that! (I mean, I am cause this is good drama and plot but I’m scared for my baby boy.)

now that i think about it, everyone calls Mephistopheles "Mephisto", unlike demon king Dokfel who called him his longer name, as well as how he introduced himself as such only when revealing himself as kingmaker to Iruma and Delkira so like...maybe nobody else knows who the hell he even really is, especially since he hasn't shown up since before Delkira became king. If he wasn't well known even then, since Delkira didn't seem to recognize him, then maybe even the Three Greats don't know his true identity. Although they clearly sent an invite to him for a reason (although maybe some other magic is at play there?) and he supposedly appears in the memoirs of past demon kings, there's been little sign of anyone kissing up to him because of his kingmaker identity (i'm still of the opinion Iruma won't care about it though and will accept him as is)

All that's to say, maybe Narnia (and Baal, probably) don't know who he is, and thus only think of Iruma as (spoilers for 367) dangerously gathering high ranking demons around him. Which means that if Amy Azami reports that's not just the case, things could get soooo much worse. Kinda doubt they know somehow since they'd probably do everything to stop Mephisto from overseeing the exam in the first place if so, which probably means shit is really gonna hit the fan soon. I mean, would they have cared so much if it was a different crown overseeing it?

Anyway, it takes a helluva lot of mental gymnastics to think, ah yes, this boy is gathering high ranking, powerful demons around him which is why i should definitely attack him. this will have no consequences whatsoever.

About chapters 365-366

I just find it so, so, so interesting to see another member of the Amy family, especially in this context!!! It gives us some insight into the wider relationships between families in the Netherworld.

I find it particularly fitting that the Naberius and the Amy families are allies. While at first I was surprised to see another Amy demon, it actually makes so much sense that they are both in the "demonazi" faction represented by Naberius Narnia.

1. Both families are affluent, distinguished, and feared by others. This clearly makes them favorable towards the status quo: the powerful on top, the "weak" on the bottom.

2. Related to the point above, both families have a role in the current functioning of the Netherworld, and specifically they have the role of protectors. The Amy Clan because of their Barrier bloodline ability, and the Naberius Clan because they're guard dogs. Not only any major change would be an existential threat to their families, but "protection" (as in being conservative) is literally their job.

3. Both clans are known for being gifted in terms of magic. While this is a natural characteristic based on mostly luck (and maybe eugenics via marriage, but this is my speculation), they treat it as something that makes them better than other families, and deserving of their social standing.

4. They force this vision of the world into their children, and have high expectations for them, to the point of being violent if they do not conform and/or causing suffering to them in the process of confirming that they are worthy.

And I find it so interesting to then think about the reaction of their younger members. Kiriwo, having been rejected, rejected in turn the Amy Clan's hierarchical ideals and became an active anarchist (a chaotic evil one, but still an anarchist). Kalego seemed to accept the status quo, but as we saw in chapter 319, his priority is now Babyls, not his family, so he's ready to clash with them. I honestly had never thought of those two as somewhat parallels before...

I'm so hyped about the next chapters!!!
