魔入りました！入間くん 第4シリーズ

I sing it's praises and recommend it wherever I can. It's easy to recommend, especially for people asking for safe stuff for kids. Wholesome characters, not crazy in gore or violence, not crazy in sexy stuff and what they have tends to be comedy, the perv is tolerable... Easy one-sentence pitch to normies too, that it's like if Tim Burton created a Harry Potter anime. Only reason I can think of why it hasn't picked up overseas is that the overseas markets prefer edgy and mature. =/

I think it’s less Iruma being pure that he couldn’t say no to but more his enthusiastic ambition/“selfishness”. Although I guess that’s pure too since Iruma feels desire without malice. It’s been a theme throughout the whole show that being a bit greedy/selfish/ambitious isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s just like how Iruma pulled the class into fighting for Royal One — through him they realize that there’s nothing wrong with pursuing their desires.

Yeah, it’s not Iruma being pure but rather Iruma, in his own selfish way, being selfless and wanting his classmates to succeed, be praised for their talents and follow their ambitions. All these things he once didn’t have and is only starting to get the hang of now. Iruma never wanted to push Purson to perform for the sake of the Misfit Class, but after seeing him on the trumpet he went from “you can say no if you want” to “ you have to play so people can hear how good you are! ” and showing that he cares about Purson rather than just his class and himself is what convinced him to give it a go.

How do you make a new character stand up to a whole cast that’s been shining for 2-3 seasons now? By making him the most relatable character of all time! It’s genius that Purson’s lack of appearances is actually explained to the point where there’s an actual reason why he’s only been in the background until now (as many have been pointing out throughout the seasons): it’s literally his power. It’s fascinating how selfish Iruma’s selflessness has become. He really wants to help others show off their value, but he’s started pushing them to do so regardless of whether they want to or not! He’s so kind and charming that he inevitably convinces them, but it’s fascinating how it genuinely comes from a selfless place yet can still come across as selfish. I’M SO GLAD TO BE BACK!

How do you make a new character stand up to a whole cast that’s been shining for 2-3 seasons now? By making him the most relatable character of all time! There's so many struggling introverts this season it's almost like Polar Opposites never ended. It’s genius that Purson’s lack of appearances is actually explained to the point where there’s an actual reason why he’s only been in the background until now (as many have been pointing out throughout the seasons): it’s literally his power. I love how they used legit scenes from past seasons to show him and we can see how far the animation has come since then. It’s fascinating how selfish Iruma’s selflessness has become. He really wants to help others show off their value, but he’s started pushing them to do so regardless of whether they want to or not! He’s so kind and charming that he inevitably convinces them, but it’s fascinating how it genuinely comes from a selfless place yet can still come across as selfish. It's his selfish desire but it's one that's meant to enrich them and make them feel better about themselves in the process.

I’m so happy this show is back! I’m glad the show seeded shots of Purson well before this. Makes him feel like a true member of the class instead of a character created just for this arc (I’m a manga reader but I don’t remember if that’s the case there). Anyway I think they executed this episode splendidly. Especially the rooftop scene with Iruma. What a jump in animation quality for that scene! I don’t think this show has dug down this deeply on a character since Clara in an early episode of Iruma. Or at least something about Purson is making the character work hit better than usual for me. Elizabetta finally getting some spotlight too. The setup for the festival is making me feel the hype. This show has always done well with music. I hope they exceed expectations this season. Shoutout to Purson’s VA. His delivery was perfect.

Agreed. I'm primarily a dub watcher(so I'm glad we got a dub same week), and I was surprised. Do you think either of his VAs did that speed talk naturally, or was it artificially sped up? Because if the former, kudos to his voice actor(s). I mean there are extremely talented VAs, like Carol's in Tomo-chan is a girl who speaks such perfect Japanese and English. And Alya's(both versions), who speak both Russian and their native Japanese/English so fluently. Then there's the guy who did Dinobot and Rattrap in Transformers Beast Wars, who could change voices on a dime. Oh, and Bocchi's VA who could make such a horrifying sound with just her mouth and vocal cords without any electronic editing.

Note: I am up to date on the manga, but will try to avoid referencing it here. Clara trying out alternative vowel sounds. I do that too sometimes when I'm in a silly mood. Iruma, Azz, and Clara rolling up to school in their matching sunglasses. The Squad. Lied is actually wearing his uniform properly?! On, wait, these are winter uniforms now, that's probably why. It's Purson! He's been here the whole time. No, really, he was here the whole time. I love this meta-gag so much. His bloodline ability is detection warding, and it's so powerful that it worked on the audience . He was hiding in plain sight for three straight seasons. Sasuga, Nishi-sensei. I like how Iruma's eye catch has evolved, from "Sure!" to "I'll take care of it!" He's still a good boy, but there's more backbone and confidence there. Hm, I wonder why that last one got his attention for a moment? Iruma is very observant, remember. Iruma is a good boy. He spoke! He spoke a lot! Quite a lot, actually! Wow he's still going "Okay bye" Congratulations to Iruma for actually getting some information out of that. "Incognito, Ergo Sum" is a great pun. Hahaha Purson's brother was so good they can't find him. Man, dad's genes didn't even try. Also I like how Purson and his mom have their tiny wings out constantly. I've always mentioned that my favorite little world-building detail is how all demon clothing has wing slits and this shows them off nicely. Oh, look. Purson plays an instrument. And this arc is about music. Lied explaining what the plot of this arc is going to be. "I'll never reveal my musical talent to anyone." Surprise Iruma! It's too late, Purson. Iruma is going to be your friend. Oh, the ED is focused on the girls again. Some new characters in the ED. Sukima! Purson's mom might be a bit of a troublemaker. Demon of the Week: Purson I'm not going to do these every week like I did last season, but we're getting focus on a few new demons this season, so I'll touch on them, at least. Here's what Wikipedia has to say about Purson: Purson (also Curson, Pursan) is a Great King of Hell, being served and obeyed by twenty-two legions of demons. He knows of hidden things, can find treasures, and tells past, present and future. Taking a human or aerial body he answers truly of all secret and divine things of Earth and the creation of the world. He also brings good familiars. Purson is depicted as a man with the face of a lion, carrying a ferocious viper in his hand, and riding a bear. Before him, there can be heard many trumpets sounding. This demon blows internal trumpets , and is believed connected to the revelator to the Antichrist. "Internal" is probably a typo for "infernal"? Probably? Anyway, Purson in stealth mode is rendered as a wisp of air, and he plays the trumpet.

I forgot that Season 3 ended with Purson's introduction. His bloodline ability is just that damn good that we're now at Season 4 and they're only starting to get to know him now. Funny how everyone barely got any reaction from Purson, but the moment Elizabetta started talking about wanting to perform with him , that immediately got his attention. No one can resist Nee-san's charm! Purson being a yapper was definitely unexpected! I guess we haven't really heard him speak, so it's just fair that he gets to finally unload everything on his mind. 😆 I love that Purson's mom is voiced by Hikasa Youko aka Rias Gremory herself. Glad that at least his mom shows herself to Purson, unlike his dad and his brother, who he probably hasn't seen before. Purson is really having his Hibike Euphonium moment at the rooftop, Dude is rocking it with that trumpet! And as soon as he says that no one should see him play, I just knew Iruma was watching him that entire time. Sorry Purson, but it looks like you're also not immune to Iruma's charisma. I'm very excited to see how the rest of the class will react once they learn that Purson is actually the mysterious trumpet-playing Pixie.

I forgot that Season 3 ended with Purson's introduction. His bloodline ability is just that damn good that we're now at Season 4 and they're only starting to get to know him now. Damn, Purson’s power really puts in the work! Though Iruma’s perceptive enough that even with the powers, he still vaguely remembered Purson. Purson being a yapper was definitely unexpected! I do quite like the strategy of introducing Purson to an already very well established cast by making him the most relatable character of all time, I have to say. Sorry Purson, but it looks like you're also not immune to Iruma's charisma. Iruma’s selfish selflessness is just too powerful. Hs wants you to have everything you want, all your desires and ambitions, and you WILL let him help you get them.

Funny how everyone barely got any reaction from Purson, but the moment Elizabetta started talking about wanting to perform with him , that immediately got his attention. No one can resist Nee-san's charm! I mean, if you saw Elizabetta in that performing outfit, wouldn't you? I feel like Elizabetta is going to be utterly slaying this season. I love that Purson's mom is voiced by Hikasa Youko aka Rias Gremory herself. Glad that at least his mom shows herself to Purson, unlike his dad and his brother, who he probably hasn't seen before. Yoko Hikasa once again playing a demon and she's still as busty as ever. Can we get more Purson's mom? I feel like she adapted to her families' need to standout and be invisible all the time by just messing/teasing them all. Although it's actually kind of sad that this family takes being invisible so seriously that the brother has basically 100% disappeared. And that's treated likea good thing. Sorry Purson, but it looks like you're also not immune to Iruma's charisma. I'm very excited to see how the rest of the class will react once they learn that Purson is actually the mysterious trumpet-playing Pixie. Future demon lord recruitment at its finest!

Purson can really go on for a long time and speak so much in a short amount of time for someone who has been hiding in the background, I guess he's been really pent up from the lack of social interaction lol. His mother is amusing and I like that she's voiced by Hikasa Youko.  It's nice to see this class of misfits again, Clara is as cute as ever and Alice is still as loyal as ever. I'm looking forward to seeing Elizabetta's arc since that seemed to be teased in the OP, and the fact that she's the other who's still rank Bet.
