The second main promotional video for the fourth season of the TV anime "Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun," based on the manga by Osamu Nishi serialized in "Weekly Shonen Champion" (Akita Shoten), has been released. The PV shows Iruma, who has been promoted to rank 5 (He) after the music festival, participating in various events such as the Deviculum, the Demon Summoning Ceremony, and the Thirteen Dinner. At the Akudol Grand Martial Arts Tournament, a festival for "Akudols," who are idols of the demon world, Iruma will also participate disguised as the mysterious Akudol, Illumi.
The second main visual has also been released, featuring "Team Devils," a group formed by Illumi (Iruma), Kuromu (Crocell Kerori), Lindy (Shax Reed), and Merry (Azazel Ameri), along with the charismatic idol Garry. The visual hints at a showdown between Garry, the diva of greed, and Kuromu, the diva of pride, who are sworn rivals.
Additional cast members have also been announced, revealing that Yuma Uchida, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, and Misato Matsuoka will be appearing. Uchida will play Leviathan Rage, the grandson of one of the "Three Greats," who, like Iruma, is the leading candidate to become the next Demon King, and who is invited to the Thirteen Crowns Gathering (Thirteen Dinner), where the heroes of the Demon World come together. Yoshitsugu Yoshitsugu Matsuoka will play Belial Berry Raspberry, also the grandson of one of the "Three Greats," and Misato Matsuoka will play Garry, a charismatic idol.
Uchida commented, "Leviathan Reiji is a strict, independent character who considers himself the ruler. He's a character with more than just a few quirks. I had a lot of fun playing him. I'm looking forward to seeing what Reiji, one of the grandsons of the Three Greats, will accomplish in the future. I'll do my best!"
Yoshitsugu Matsuoka said, "I tried to portray a suspicious character while also hinting that there's something about him that makes people think, 'There's something about this guy...' The set was really fun, and I loved the atmosphere where I felt like I could do anything. I really did my best to play Raspberry. And I love the grandpa!!"
Misato Matsuoka said, "It was so much fun playing Garry!! I poured my heart and soul into portraying her inherent 'greed' and 'abundance.' Her way of life is so cool, and I really admire it. There are so many things that only Garry can do...! I hope you'll look forward to it!! I myself am really looking forward to seeing the many scenes that I read with excitement in the original manga come to life in the anime!!"
