So what if Balam's hyperfixation with humans had to do with his ability Buzzer Imagine he was talking about humans with other demons, and when they would tell him that humans don't exist, maybe Buzzer would be somewhat triggered, not enough to signify that the person was lying, but enough to make Balam think that there was something wrong with that statement And you know, being a very curious child and being able to discern what was definitely true from what was definitely false, Balam became fascinated by myths about imaginary beasts, because they mixed together truth and fiction and he had to know, but couldn't

L'une de mes relations préférés est celle entre Iruma et Kirio. J'aime beaucoup le contraste qu'il a par rapport à Iruma. Iruma étant traité comme un esclave par ses parents. Alors que Kirio était vu comme une merde à cause de sa famille. Sauf que contrairement à Kirio, Iruma a pu se construire grâce aux personnes qu'il a rencontré ainsi que sa propre liberté. Tandis que Kirio a trouvé que la souffrance des autres était bien plus plaisante et a trouvé sa propre liberté grâce à ça. Iruma a pu évoluer grâce à l'aide de son entourage et ainsi atteindre ses propres objectifs. Tandis que Kirio manipule les autres pour atteindre ses objectifs. Quand Kirio lui explique leurs plans concernant le monde des démons. Il lui dit qu'il sera le seul à l'accepter car il connaît sa vraie nature. Alors qu'Iruma souhaite le ramener avec lui au club malgré tout ce qui s'est passé entre eux.

Leurs souhaits s'opposent et Kirio n'est pas spécialement convaincu par ce dernier. Il ajoute que l'un de leur souhait s'exaucera mais pas les deux en même temps car ils sont destinés à être ennemis. J'adore comment l'histoire continue de montrer que ces deux là sont bel et bien l'opposé de l'autre malgré leurs similitudes ! Pour ma part, je pense qu'Iruma va échouer à faire revenir Kirio de son côté. A aucun moment ce dernier ne regrette ses actions. Il prend du plaisir à faire ce qu'il fait ou à être ce qu'il est. Donc je le vois mal se repentir, si Kirio meurt à un moment donné, j'ose même pas imaginer comment Iruma va se sentir.

One of my favorite relationships is that between Iruma and Kirio. I really like the contrast he has with Iruma. Iruma was treated like a slave by his parents. Whereas Kirio was seen as a piece of shit because of his family. Except that unlike Kirio, Iruma was able to build himself up thanks to the people he met as well as his own freedom. Whereas Kirio found other people's suffering far more pleasurable and found his own freedom through it. Iruma was able to evolve thanks to the help of those around him, and thus achieve his own goals. Kirio, on the other hand, manipulates others to achieve his own goals. When Kirio explains their plans for the demon world. He tells him he'll be the only one to accept him, as he knows his true nature. Whereas Iruma wants to bring him back to the club despite everything that's happened between them.

Their wishes are opposed, and Kirio isn't particularly convinced by Iruma. He adds that one of their wishes will come true, but not both at the same time, as they are destined to be enemies. I love how the story continues to show that these two are the very opposite of each other, despite their similarities ! Personally, I think Iruma will fail to get Kirio back on his side. At no point does he regret his actions. He takes pleasure in doing what he does or being what he is. So I can't see him repenting, and if Kirio dies at some point, I can't imagine how Iruma would feel

physical affection and how it relates to iruma: part 1, parental touch

iruma reads as someone who is touch starved and doesn't like/understand touch until he now has affectionate people in his life. His parents have probably never touched him besides the required amount when he was a baby and maybe a headpat or quick hug (which would more than likely just be a manipulation tactic to get him to do their crazy schemes). They left him alone for days on end, there's no way they even could have been affectionate with him. And it's not like he ever went to school, his "friends" at school couldn't even remember him because of how many days he missed.

Overall, Iruma reads as touch starved but doesn't know he's missing it since he never had it to begin with. Here comes the love trio, the misfit class, Balam and more. Suddenly he has a lot of people in his life who are comfortable with touching him, even want to as a sign of how close they are. And we can see iruma very much becomes happy with it in turn.

That's why Balam and iruma's relationship is important, a parental type person he trusts is actively choosing to be affectionate with him, not to manipulate him but just because he cares about iruma. He even told him the reason is just to bond and get to know iruma, not some sort of underhanded method. This is just Balam's way of connecting. And they are close to each other enough to be comfortable in each other's spaces. Whether Iruma reads balam as a parent or not, balam is very much like a momma bird, keeping him close and safe in his arms. And Iruma becomes more open to it as time goes on with them knowing more about the other.

This is also a great dynamic because balam gives him the affection that he doesn't recieve from kalego, someone he clearly holds in high regard. Almost every time iruma reflects on the people that matter the most to him, kalego is there. which i find fascinating because what is kalego to iruma? on a subconscious level, i think he views kalego as a parental figure to him as well, one of the first to give him clear and concise rules to follow. his parents were just a fucking mess, they barely parented. never really taught him life lessons besides "just say yes" and "run." Kalego clearly cares a lot while also helping iruma navigate the netherworld making it easy for him to project a father role onto kalego

But kalego isn't an affectionate man from what we have seen. And even if he was, he is his instructor first and foremost so he may not feel comfortable being so with iruma (and also imagine the fucking annoying comments about favoritism from the other misfits LOL). Any touching has been fairly limited to him picking up Iruma like during the teacher dorm visits and Kalego's final hours as a familiar. Which honestly make these few scenes even more precious. Because he is actively choosing to be like this with Iruma. Affection does not come easy to Kalego like it does Balam. More than likely because of his upbringing and family beliefs (always needing to remain vigilant, dignified) and him as a person. So while he doesn't touch Iruma often, his one on one moments with him are extremely personal and parental in nature. And when he does interact with Iruma physically, the rarity adds to the specialness.

And then there's Opera. Opera has been especially more affectionate in the latest volumes with hand holding and hugs and all sort of touching. Which is very wholesome to see because Opera wasn't a character that had much of a strong relationship with Iruma at the beginning besides guarding him. I always got the impression that Opera didn't know how to feel about him, not to say they wouldn't protect him with everything they have. But the feelings and affection started up after the battler/batra Party when Iruma grabbed both Sullivan and Opera (though the care for him had been growing steadily before that). I have seen two main headcannons for their relationship, some see it more as a big sibling relationship while others see it as a parental one as well. For the sake of this post, I will be using it as a parent and child one.

Opera has been right there with Sullivan watching Iruma grow more and more confident as time goes on. And through Iruma growing up, we see how proud of him Opera is. From a scared child to a more bold child, Opera has helped cultivate this in him. I also love that whenever Sullivan isn't around, Opera takes over for taking care of him, allowing the two to have solo family time. Obviously their relationship is more of a weird dynamic seeing as how Opera is a security devil, but that doesn't stop the story from developing their relationship. The physical affection for the two is started from both sides, Iruma hugging Opera or Opera holding out their hand to hold as they walk home. In this case, their relationship is the most parent like as the story progresses.

And finally, we have Sullivan who is the most affectionate of the four. Come on, you can't beat grandpa when it comes to love and devotion to Iruma. He is the first one to introduce Iruma to physical affection in the first place. Now granted, in a slightly overbearing way at first because Iruma is not used to this and Sullivan is too happy to have a grandson. But now, we can see the genuineness behind each of his interactions with Iruma. He very much acts like a doting grandfather, and he really does love him too. Touching clearly comes more naturally to him so it's his way of showing Iruma love which opened the doors for more people in Iruma's life to show this too. When Iruma first started touching Sullivan back at the battler/batra party, it highlighted that Iruma is now more comfortable with Sullivan to do so back. He has been taught by Sullivan this way of caring and cares about him in the same way too. There's a lot of mutual love.

They have come a long way as a family unit. Sure, grandpa has always been Iruma's number one supporter, but at the beginning of the story it felt way too over the top? As the audience we were right there besides Iruma in feeling overwhelmed by Sullivan. This far into the story though, the emotional trust they have in each other is beautiful. They are no longer just two individuals thrown together by fate, they are two people who care about the other and their weird little family. And its even more wonderous when we think about Sullivan's past, having lost someone deeply close to him and has no way of knowing if he'll ever return (aka Delkira). From what we know, it seemed that Sullivan truly loved him like a son/grandson/family member and loosing him is still something he's grappling over. And yet, he was still able to create this, push through his pain to make a family with Iruma. He's not a replacement for what he lost, but somone he allows himself to care about in a similar way in the past. By pushing through the trauma, he has been able to give Iruma what he never had in his past life.

I see both Balam, Kalego, and Opera as parents who provide him with different styles of parenting (with grandpa also providing that but also being a "ill give you anything you want" guardian hehe). Through this, he can learn varied viewpoints and, more importantly to this post, the affection he never had as a child. Does it make up for never having grown up with it? No, it never could. But it's not about making up for what it lost, rather its about making new connections and love with what you have now. And displaying that love in small and bigger ways with touch.

Demon culture is very interesting to me. These demons are selfish, greedy and their whole social structure is based on power. Yet we don't see demons fight for power or doing something untoward someone to get something they have. A lot of powerful demons don't seem to be abusing their power to push around weaker demons. The only indication of this is the many ear tribe. But you know what happened with them? They were given to a student for a scala, a scala which in the goal was founding a country for them were they can support each other and have some modicum of freedom from being just tools to powerful demons.

When they're too stress they fall into their evil cicle, were they can become aggressive. This was so prevalent that they built systems to relieve that stress (devidols, theme parks ect). The fact we don't know much of evil cycle out of pseudo stuff like Iruma's evil cycle and what we saw of Kalego's breifly is sad to me (he cares so much).

That is not even going into the return to origin and demons that want to return to origin. These faction of demons are so fixated on how the demon realm was that they want to destroy the current demon realm. And it might seem that demons back then ate humans? Now I'm thinking of when or if humans and demons coexisted together or when humans passed thru the demon real. How did they become mythic creatures?

But anyway moving on

The government of the demon realm is very interesting itself. They have the demon king and the 13 crowns as well as the demon boarder patrol. Now we know that their hasn't been a demon king in years. They waited so long to apoint anyone or find a way to find someone suitable. The only reason things got moving is because the demon real was falling out of control. The demon king is lead by the king maker, guiding them on how to become the ruler and how the demon world works. Yet apparently if the demon king doesn't want the king maker around then they don't have them around, like what? And it's clear that the position is important and hold great power before it fell into obscurity. The boarder patrol is supposed to protect the demon real and keep the human realm and theirs closed. Yet we clearly see that demons in the boarder patrol have different ideas on what they should protect the demon realm from.

Man, I don't know where I was going with this. I guess I just wanted to ramble. I love Iruma go read the manga if you can. And if you want to support Nishi Osamu more they have another manga called "Ichi the Witch" go read it, it's good.

Opera-san from m!ik/wtdsik and illumi from hxh are really similar.

I feel like Illumi has traits that aren’t spoken about as much in the HXH fandom. like i feel if you two were married, he would come up to you and be like “you know (child’s name or killua) said that if you don’t kiss me that they’d hate you.” And you can just tell he wants some kisses but is too embarrassed or ask. I feel like he’d joke but you can’t tell if he’s serious or not with the stonic face.

With this, i feel Opera-San from m!ik/wtdsik is similar to Illumi in a way. Extremely powerful, stonicnface, joking with that same stonic face. Like they’d be similar to Illumi by saying “Iruma kun said if you don’t kiss me, he’ll hate you.” Leaking a sort of aura similar to bloodlust but harmless, and then if you say something like “no he wouldn’t” to either of them, they would just be like “hes my (brother/child) how would i not know?” Or opera-san would be like “wow so are you saying i’m lying, i live with iruma-kun 24/7 how would i not know.”

I also feel like those two would often ask for affection in discreet ways, you’re laying in bed next to them and they suddenly rub up closer to you, trying to hint at it. Or after a long day of work, you may just be sitting in the edge of your bed and they come and just lay their head on your lap. Opera-san definitely purrs, no doubt.

I've been sitting on this ever since the chapters came out but Kiriwo vs Iruma and Azz was actually a really good section? Both from a technical and a storytelling standpoint it was top notch and is an excellent case study of how far Osamu Nishi's writing has come

First off, its the first time both Iruma and Kiriwo are meeting face to face after the events of the Battler Party. And it only took 300-ish chapters. Of course its going to be impressive, but I kind of want to focus on what I really really love about these two chapters.

From a technical analysis, I absolutely adore the double page spread with Kiriwo breaking the panel to lean over and devour Iruma. Demons are the most powerful when they are their greediest and not even the foundations of the medium can stop Kiriwo. I also absolutely adore how the hand pointing into his mouth lands right over Iruma's terrified face, the outstretched hand as well boxing him in with no way to escape. It breaks the natural flow of reading manga, forcing readers eyes to jump from the first panel to the last immediately. Even the speech bubbles which also break the panels to bleed into the next are boxing Iruma in, leaving only Kiriwo as the only option. He's right. Right here. Into his mouth. That's the only direction the manga allows him to go. Not even Azz, who is logically right behind Iruma on the other side of the barrier, can't be seen. Its just them.

One thing that Mairuma likes to emphasizes is eyes. Nishi likes putting in a lot of close ups of the face but eyes specifically is something she puts a lot of focus on. Of course, eyes are the only reliable way to tell if someone has returned to origins but eyes also change according to wicked phase. They are the windows to the soul, and whenever a hype moment occurs, the eyes are almost always a focal point to enhance the action.

The latter half of 303 really ramps this imagery up as eyes become one of the main focus points of the sequence. Iruma's watery eyes when he asks if its really Kiriwo, the concealment and subsequent focus on Baal's eyes as he looms over Princes Shura revealing his motives (also Shura covering her face up till Baal "saves" her is an interesting symbolic choice i might write about), the ever present return to origin markings on Kiriwo's eyes after declaring his intentions, and that final page is all about eyes. My favourite is the hiding of Azz's eyes as he breaks the barrier only to reveal them as he boldly says he'll stay by Iruma's side, eyes finally coloured in when up till that point in the chapter it was left white.

Speaking of panels though, Kiriwo is allowed to break past the gutters and invade other panels. His single minded devotion to consuming Iruma allows him to bend the laws to manga and lean right over. So logically, the next page where Azz saves Iruma, Azz who is consumed by devotion and is perhaps even more enamored with Iruma would do the same, no?

Nope.

Despite everything, Azz is still trapped within the story and its confines. Not even his words break through the boundaries. The best he can do is close the gap between the gutters, squeezing the panels together as close as he can. He still lacks critical information and Kiriwo has and no matter how much he tires, without that he will always be a step behind his senior. Even all the power in the world will not change that Suzuki Iruma is a fragile, fragile human.

As if to rub salt into an already gaping wound, Kiriwo's speech bubble at the end of the chapter literally shuts down Iruma's protests. Kiriwo is in control of the situation and his words take over the page. He's also drawn to be taller than Azz who is canonically about 10-15 cm taller

Control seems to also be a big theme/determining factor for whose words are allowed to transcend the metaphysical boundaries boxing them in because who else would be the one to quite literally dominate the next climatic moment than the unpredictable agent of chaos, Clara herself? The ringtone from her call quite literally cuts both Iruma and Kiriwo's words in half, drowning them out in her silliness. I remember seeing that a lot of people were upset that Clara interrupted Kiriwo but I argue that Clara is the perfect person for this? Master of funtimes and such a wildcard that she managed to seduce Raim through pure innocence? You can not tell me that you didn't laugh at the stupid fonts that Misfit Scans used for Iruma's ringtone. (Thank you Flare, whoever you are. Because I laughed. So hard.)

Also KiriAzz's faces when they look at Iruma? Peak visual comedy

Clara calling is also just the breather that the story needed. Yes, she inadvertently protected Iruma's secret, but she also the most emotionally mature out of the Love Trio which I think so many people forget. Clara is super smart when it comes to her boys, she knows that off on their own, they're bound to get caught up in their own heads worrying and agonizing in silence. Clara knew to call her boys after the Devilculum because it would had undoubtedly been stressful mingling among the upper ranks. Of course she was lonely and wanted to know how her soulmates were doing but even if she knows it or not, she is their emotional center and grounds them when they drift too far into their own self flagellation. But more importantly, she grounds the story in its genre. Lets not forget, Mairuma is a comedy series. Devilculum Arc was quite uncharacteristically somber for the series which runs on comedy of errors and misunderstandings galore. Sure, the beginning of the Arc was kind of funny but once everyone stepped into the venue, comedy became secondary to the plot.

Would it have been interesting to see what would have happened if Clara didn't call? Of course, yeah. But I think thats better left explored in fanfiction. At the end of the day, they're the Love Trio, they are a tripartite. Do not separate. And even unknowingly, Clara's protecting Iruma in her own way. And because of that, she is given the power to take over the page, filling it with images of Magitools Batara and her own silly creations, flower shaped speech bubbles framing the members as they work towards their own ambitions. She is the one that reminds Iruma of his own goals, who reminds him that there are demons at home who are waiting for him, and who he too is waiting for.

On a more aesthetic note though, I do like how Iruma's necklace this arc mirror's Kiriwo's collar. Its a very nice parallel but also acts as a way for Iruma to be connected to the people he's attending Devilculum with. The frilled collar on Ameri's dress and the Amosdeus Clan's rose brooch that both Azz and Amu have on their suits.

Idk how to end this ngl but I am completely normal about ch 303+4 the writing and set up is so so so good. I remember Misfits being so mad that others were translating the human part and I agree. Its so vital for the Love Trio and their relationship that their secrets are theirs to tell and not anyone elses. And the way these dynamics are portrayed through diegetic story telling is just perfect, I will never get over how good the KiriIru double spread is. Like those two pages specifically is my Roman Empire. I think about those pages on a hourly basis. I love that spread so much but 90% of what makes it so great is the surrounding context and the proceeding events. One day Nishi will probably top this and make me slobber all over her artistic storytelling but for today, I will continue to be consumed with thoughts about these two chapters.

One last thing but the fact that Iruma's secret got cockblocked from being revealed twice because of a phone call is just hilarious. Once is good enough but Narnia prioritizing a work phone call over warning his brother about what he sees as a great evil? He's so silly actually.

AROMANTIC LOVETRIO AND AROACE IRUMA YOU'RE SO RIGHT

CAEN !! ITS VERY UNDERRATED !!

love trio is so fun to me bc i feel like whatever relationship hcs u could possibly have about them, i can fully see it?? every single time im like Yeah that checks out.

they’re each others first friends and thats so precious & special for them. it doesnt really matter how specifically one tunes their dynamic in terms of romance, they’re acting the same, dating or not!

of course, separately from love trio, i think it would be very funny for iruma to end up as aromantic after all the harem king allegations…

imagine a fic where perhaps everyone who has a crush (of various seriousness) on him (ameri, chima, clarazz, elizabetta, vine, eiko, etc etc) start a secret club to support each other but also they’re lowkey sabotaging each other (cuz demons/teens)?? it turns into a “who can woo iruma” competition.

hijinks get more and more intense… only to stop full force cuz he comes out as aroace (offhandedly ofc) and maybe theres some big feelings about it, but of course they spend the very last meeting of the Secret Iruma Crush Club working through it privately, and of course theyre very supportive of him!! and also the competition fizzles out bc no one’s gonna beat clarazz in the “who’s iruma’s best friend(s)” competition 😞

Poro Analysis

i know this is an art blog mostly but on occasion i like to make it a graphic design blog. Behold with only the finest graphic design heres my poro unicorn lore board. Contains Spoilers for all of the Music Festival Arc, Heart Breaker, Deviculum

I mostly was curious on what irl lore of the unicorn got added or adapted into poros creation. I'll go more specific about my points Under the cut. Lord i hit undo on this editor and it erased almost everything i wrotei had to rewrite most of the post :',C

Ars Goetia Amduscias Demon

The Ars Goetia describes Amduscias taking the Appearence of a Unicorn, as well as: all manner of Trumpets and Musical Instruments to be heard but not soon or imediately, and can cause the trees to bend and incline according to the Exorcists will. And Amduscias is often described as the one playing or in charge of the music that can be heard through hell, as well as having a thunderous voice and being asscoiated with thunder.

Poro's Character greatly tracks with the music Theme. Poro is shown to be a Sound and Music Specialist, giving Critique and concerning Invites to Students after their Performances. Poro's own Claim to Fame was being Delkira's personal Musician giving a battle Concert with Delkira.

Poro's own Character Design with that Piano lookin Cut, Cello Detail and Pinstripe Suit, Notes on the End of those side hair pieces, and carrying a Conductor's Baton

Poro's yells loudly once getting to the School about the Crime, according to Poro, of re-allowing the use of the Royal One(talk about a thunderous Personality). Poro at the End of the Arc, once convinced, and painfully, for Wett defects with Kirio and Wett of the Six Fingers who answer to the Thunder Lord, Baal.

The last bit about being able to cause trees to bend, in the last panel Poro with Kirio and Wett are seen entering Brush to exit Babylus. The thought of such tall dark Brush, despite atleast the spaced out Center of Babylus's Campus, covering an Individual as large and tall as Poro for a masked Exit- no Clue if controling Trees is part of Poro's Powerset but still an interesting coincidence alluding back to Amduscias.

Qi Lin

I wish i had more historical/primaray sources to look from but alas modern feng shui websites will have to do

The Qi Lin has stories about the Rarity of its Appearences. The Qi Lin only showing up when a great outstanding Ruler is present in Time or when a great Sage(mostly Confucius mentioned) dies. There is also a legend that an Emperor of China was at the Yellow River and saw a Qi Lin on the Water, as it walked it cleared the River and Surroundings of all the Dirt and Stuff and the Emperor saw the Symbols on its Back and used them to create the first chinese writing System.

The Bit about the outstanding Ruler and Sage seems to match up well with Events and Characters. Poro being very Loyal, even to Poro's own Detriment, to Delkira as, when ever someone mentions Delkira most Demons admire Delkira in this demon Kingdom(?) Country(?).

It even matches with Iruma's Setup, Sully calling on Poro to see Iruma in hoping Poro will be impressed to rank Iruma. Plus we all know Iruma will become the next Demon King via the Prophecy, Poro is witnessing the fledgling King.

Not that all Qi Lin have to have exclusively one Horn but with the overlapping Traits of its Dragon like Features, Poro's Design echos back to the Qi Lin with Poro's Tail having a smooth Underside, spikey hairy Outterside, not to mention the clattering Heels in lue of Hooves

As an aside the Ming Emperor, Emperor Yongel, was gifted a Giraffe, that was called, equated to, and or associated with the QI Lin, very smart on the gifters part. I thought this was so funny given Poro's size, no clue if Nishi intended to it to match up with Poro but lucky for Nish-sensei it works out.(3rd picture of section of court painting of said Giraffe)

European Medieval Unicorns (i recomend skipping to the Poro paragraph and back reading this one)

Unicorns had a variety of many myths, associations, and metaphors attached to them but the Myths from Medieval Europe stand out most prominently here. Its been a variety of Animals over the Years, its Predessor being an Ox, the Re'em from the Bible, Goats,Asses (Donkeys), Horses, overall some sorta hoofed Creature and one Horn.

The first main Attribute to this Unicorn Myth is the Unicorn's Horn having Properties to purify the sick and ill, specfically treat and cure Diseases and Poison. Those who were able to successfuly find and hunt would gain such a treasure.

Later on it gained another Adaptation - The Unicorns purifying Power later becoming intertwined with the Purity of virgin Maidens, that a wild Beast would only allow itself to be near/in the Arms of a Virgin Maiden because the Unicorn could sense/was in awe of a Maiden's Purity(and or the maidens Purity matched that of the Unicorns), only for it to be a Trap, for a Group of Hunters to come out from Hiding to chase/capture and the slaughter with perhaps some Level of Immortality from the Unicorn for the Unicorn to not fully die after all that. Other versions of the story have the virgin naked and the Unicorn does some sorta sexual encounter with the Virgin.(i can't make this up)

Later the whole Saga became Metaphors for Sex/Love/Marriage. People being reigned in and tamed by the Love or down -badness of their Partner/Spouse as a wild Unicorn is tamed in the arms of a Virgin. People eventually settling down and finding Love. - no relation to the modern practice/notion of a 3rd person joining only in the sex lives of a married couple.

There also became a very Christian Metaphor to emerge along side the love Metaphor. The power/essence of Christ was reigned in by a virgin Mary, mirring that of a Unicorn being allured to a Virgin. That the whole Hunt of the Unicorn was a metaphor for the Crucifixtion and Ressurection of Christ, with wild purifying powerful Unicorn parralleling the Goddlyness of Christ, its Hunt for the Crucifixtion, Its slight immortality with the Ressurection from the dead, and circling back with the purifiying Power of the Unicorn being drawn as a Metaphors for Christ the Redeemer.( i also wish i couldve made this up)

Lets get back to M!ik

Seeing Unicorns being described as wild Asses seems stunningly on Brand for Poro, with Poro's Abbrasiveness at times and trying to beef with kids this coincidence is pretty funny.

Poro's major Arc of the Music Festival is coping with the Loss and the never return of Delkira as Poro regrets never getting the chance to technically date Delkira and never being able to see him again. It's all the more highlighted when in Sully's flash back when Poro, in a sour Mood expresses how its been too long since Delkira's Disappearance. Despite finding more Comfort with Change after Iruma and Co's Performance Poro hard flips back into Copium once Wett talks about reuniting Delkira. this all reads to me of Poro being wild all around unless Delkira is present to be the one true love of Poro ala wild Unicorn and love Metaphor.

There seems to be a bit of confusion about Poro's gender based on Poro's Presentation and specifically language Presentation. English Pronouns i can't really say anything about not least since the manga is being translated from Japanese with different Features and Practices- no doubt this gave the translators some trouble on how to adapt the wording, maybe a bit more cumbersome to other Languages than English. For whatever its worth Poro mentions being a Maiden and a Lady in EN fan translation.

tho i did start a paragraph about Poro's Gender this speaks more about the Purity and maiden Aspect of the Myth with the Unicorns sensitivity of/purity matching that of a virgin Maiden's. The comparison feels most matching when Poro apprehends Wett after Wett tailed Poro and Poro goes(paraphrasing), I was feeling a yucky presence a maiden can sense that type of stuff, it's alluded to it being Poro's ability to hear the heart beat Pattern and read that off to the overall Mood and intentions (based on action) of a Person, but it also matches well sensing/reading Wett and the Antgonists' unpure Intentions and drive up their villiany Status.

this part is a bit more head cannon-y: Poro was doing a bit of maiden sensing on Eliza when she says, we'll pierce you with the finest sound, and Poro's own Quest/Hunt for Love, a kindred spirit to Eliza's, finding Love for Love's sake.

another head cannony one is Poro's lines crying, that Delkira despite not giving personal attention to the women around him, Poro still says he did eventually(and like a simp still be wanting Delkira). If Poro was reading Delkira's Purity or smth. This line kinda reads a little ambiguously with that whole maiden/purity sensing idea in the background, vs the idea that Sully had a secret love child with Delkira and it became Iruma. lmao you heard it guys Poro believes in the Iruma is a direct descendant of Delkira theory, just kidding. Too bad Poro couldn't sense Delkiras heart beat when Delkira ghosted them at the office.

a little incongruous to the previous point of Delkira being the one and only for Poro- is Poro's Preferences(not for Men in general) but the inclusion of the younger Students in Babylus, who are, i guess, Boys and, as Poro puts it, young Men.(Poro is so desperate for hitting on high schoolers at this age.) Poro seems quite Old being Contemporaries with even Sullivan and with the Students of Babylus seeming rather inexperienced with Romance it seems to track with the Myth, the Unicorn is sensing the purity of/allured by Virgins, or at least, those who have far less romance Experience. This is Unfortunetly why i argue Poro's influence to be aligned with this Version of the unicorn Myth, Poro's odd combo of a romance thru-line despite hitting on kids, and lines with equating to be a maiden it feels like it matches beat for beat of the medieval Unicorn myth.(Unless the qilin also has meanings of sex love and romance which it might, i could use more details).

And now its time for the Jesus metaphor, Oh man you thought i was done.

Going back to the Christian Metaphor for the Maiden lures a Unicorn, only for a band of huntsmen to begin pursuit and the Unicorn gets Injured and kinda dies but then lives. The Europeans found a way to Pack in a Jesus metaphor with the Wild Unicorn and its purifying Power repping Christ the Redeemer, the Unicorn only appearing in the Presence of Virgins Of course Mary, the subsquent Hunt repping the Crucifixtion dyin for ya sins and purifying horn, and the Unicorn living cause semi immortality and Christ live-dying with god or what ever the point of that story was.

Guess who else was invited to do some ressurecting, it is part of Baals plans to recruit Poro for Delkiras "reuniting," for Baal just straight up power grab. (honestly i didn't know much about unicorns before hand was not expecting jesus or the virgins thing to come up.) Blehh that means Iruma, Ali and Delkira, could be like the unholy demonic Trifecta, (Delkira)the Father (Iruma) the Son (Ali) the Holy Spirit not expecting to see iruma with another jesus parallel.

crack theories: Poro cleared Kirio of his Debuffs. It'll be a race see who will get to Delkira first catch Delkira as a Deer, or Ali or Delkira go full vampire Mode.

ok im done congrats for reading this far now you too get this cursed info

[nonbinarypirat]

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.

Okay, but let's talk about Balam's hair for a hot second

(Yes, it may have become one of my fixations) You know, the guy not only cut it radically - and we know it's because of Iruma - he also let it grow back, and now he grooms it much better than before. Why? While my wishful thinking headcanon is that Kalego offered to brush it after they declared their feelings for each other (they are definitely introduced as best friends, but c'mon, look at them here)

...I also recognize this is not canon, so it can't be the actual reason. So I was wondering: why this difference? IMO it signifies personal growth, but what caused it, if Iruma led to the haircut? And then it hit me. Meeting Iruma, again - but in a deeper way than I thought at first. According to Balam's own words, he decided to cut his hair to appear more approachable. But why not brush it and style it as he's doing now? Everything we know about Balam's past points to him being treated like a weirdo and marginalized, not only because he likes picture books, he was also hyperfixated with the existence of humans.

This went on all his life, from bullies at school to his own students. He was likely wounded, full of self doubt and possibly shame, so he withdrew into himself, and his hair was messy because why bother if people avoid you anyway. So imagine finally having tangible proof that you were right all along. That's life changing, not only because of the discovery itself - it can make you reevaluate your whole story, and yourself. A radical cut was a logical thing to do, to break with the past. But why letting the hair grow back then? I speculate that Balam is most comfortable with long hair after all, and he feels more like himself this way (I mean, he had medium-to-long hair in all flashbacks). I like to think that his personal grooming is a metaphor for his newly found self confidence and self love: he can be himself to the fullest, he likes the demon he is, and he's not afraid of showing it to everyone else now, by making his hair prettier. He was right all along, and everybody else can shut it.

Such a small detail in the grand scheme of things, yet enormous for the single character. I love this manga so much ♡

[zazaiafe2]

I honestly don’t know what to do anymore I’ve known shifting for 5+ years but never shifted. I think I have too much stuff in my head that makes me believe I need to do certain things in order to shift and I don’t know how to let go. I wanted to try meditation but I’m not patient enough plus I’m basically self sabotaging myself because I’m lazy or not in the mood. I desperately want to leave this reality and be in my DR. I still do think that shifting is something made up, that I’m not capable of doing it (ik it’s dumb). I just want advice PLEASE HELPP.

Hey, thanks so much for being so honest about what you’re going through. I completely see how frustrating it must feel after 5+ years of trying, with this mix of doubts, routines, resistance, and even moments of self-sabotage. I promise you, you are not alone, what you describe is way more common than you think. Let’s break this down so you can find a path forward, and maybe get unstuck once and for all.

1) Too many “rules” = cognitive overload

From what you wrote, it sounds like you built up so many conditions for shifting (“I must do this, think that, feel this way, avoid that”) that it turned into a mental obstacle course. That keeps your brain in a state of over-analysis, basically stuck in high beta brainwaves.the problem-solving, hyper-alert mode, which is the exact opposite of the calm, relaxed states (alpha/theta) that allow a shift more easily.

->instead, try stripping things way back. One script max. One method max. Stop tweaking everything. The more you simplify, the more you give your mind a chance to let go and slip into a lower, more fluid brainwave state.

2)The “letting go” block

You wrote that you don’t know how to let go. That is extremely common. Think of letting go as this:

-> “I’m allowed to shift. It’s safe to shift. If I don’t shift tonight, I am still safe. Nothing is wrong with me.”

You do not have to force letting go. It happens naturally if you practice small acceptance phrases like that, every day, even outside of your attempts. It calms the nervous system, which is your best ally.

You should see this post I made if you haven't already. :

3)Meditation and patience

You mentioned wanting to meditate, but that you’re “not patient enough.” Totally fair , meditation feels boring and annoying when you’re anxious. But you don’t need hours of it only a few minutes is enough.

✅ Try a guided relaxation audio, 5–10 minutes max

✅ Or do 4–7–8 breathing just 4 rounds (takes 1 minute!)

✅ That alone starts to slow your brainwaves and regulate emotion

✅Before bed listen to theta waves and daydream

->Don’t aim for perfection, aim for tiny steps.

You can listen to ASMR or music while meditating,it can really help.

For exemple you can do this quick 4-7-8 video

Or a five minutes meditation video.

4 ) Self-sabotage & “lazy” feelings

You called yourself lazy, but honestly? That reads more like burnout, frustration, and even a bit of hopelessness. After 5 years, that’s so normal. Instead of judging that as “lazy,” I’d reframe it as emotional fatigue.

-> Emotional fatigue means your subconscious is protecting you from disappointment by not trying at all.

So treat yourself kindly, and forgive the “not in the mood” feeling. That actually helps your subconscious see it’s safe to try again later, instead of pushing so hard right now.

5)Doubts about shifting itself

You said you wonder if shifting is “made up.” That is okay to question. Doubt does not mean you cannot shift. Doubt means your conscious mind is scanning for security.

✅ Let the doubt be there

✅ Don’t fight it

✅ Tell yourself:

-> “It’s normal to have doubts. I don’t need to get rid of them to shift. I can shift even with doubt.”

This give your system permission to shift despite doubt, rather than getting into a war with your own mind.

This kind of video can help lower your anxiety, although it's not mandatory at all.

6 )Desperation to leave this reality

Your message shows a deep wish to escape your CR. Please know: that desperation usually raises resistance, because your mind sees shifting as a survival need, which triggers panic and controlling thoughts when you try to shift.

-> Try to see shifting as a bonus, not your only rescue plan

->Journal: “How can I make my CR slightly more bearable while I practice shifting?”

That tiny shift of perspective can open huge doors.

This is specifically the most important at the key moment level not necessarily everytime too.

7)Beta brainwaves and chronic thinking

Yes, from what you describe (overthinking, rule-making, analyzing, worrying) you are likely in dominant beta most of the time. It’s normal in modern life, especially with anxiety.

The fix is to intentionally practice slowing down:

✅ music with binaural beats (alpha or theta range)

✅ progressive muscle relaxation

✅ guided visualizations

This trains your brain to feel safer in alpha/theta and makes shifting more reachable.

This kind of wave can definitely help you

8 )A super simple routine to start fresh

Here is something minimal, stable, low-pressure(you can adapt):

✅ Pick ONE method (example: the I Am method, or a short visualization)

✅Do a five minutes breathing exercises before bed

✅ Listen to soft music, brown noise or asmr

✅ Tell yourself one phrase: “I allow shifting to happen naturally.”

✅ Sleep.

No analyzing, no second-guessing. Repeat it every night for 30 days. That consistency, and no more chasing shiny new methods ,will help more than any complex script ever could.

Finally:

You are not lazy. You are not too doubtful. Your brain is just tired and overloaded. Simplify. Forgive yourself. Take smaller steps. That is the real path to letting go.

Take care of yourself!

Happy shifting

Translating the A - Z Game!

I haven't made a post in a while, but yesterday our translated subs to the A - Z Butter Churners game got added to the video, so I thought it's the perfect game to write a long ass analysis on. All credits for this translation go to my teammate Aleksandra! You did a fine job, girl!

As a reminder, the rules of the A - Z game state that everytime we switch players, they have to start their utterance with the next letter of the alphabet, as in the example:

AJ: Alo, mate! Tom: Bad boy! Now, you don't have to be a polyglot to know that words look different in different languages and that includes the first letter of that given word. Butter might start with a B in English, but Masło starts with an M in Polish (or Spanish, even). We could've technically translated this video word for word, but then it would make zero sense within the confines of the game. So we had to come up with creative ways to transcreate what was said to 1) convey the meaning of the utterance and 2) comply with the rules of the game. Wouldn't that be quite hard to do, you may ask? Well, yes, but let me tell you it gets even harder when you throw Polish alphabet and the language's spelling and pronunciation rules into the mix.

Quick (I hope) Polish lesson: 1. The Polish alphabet in its fullest form contains 35 letters, 9 of which are modified Latin alphabet letters with diacritics like ą, ę, ć, ł, ń, ó, ś, ź, ż. Ą, ę and ń cannot ever start a word, they can only end it or stand in the middle of it. 2. Letter V is not used at all in the spelling of our native words, only those we got from foreign languages. The sound English 'V' (IPA: [v]) makes is used though in Polish phonetics, but this sound is written down in Polish as the letter W (IPA: [v]). The sound the labial-velar approximant W makes (for example, in words like weep, weak, wood, etc.) in English is written down as the letter Ł in Polish. The only time you will see V in Polish is if it's a foreign word (e.g. Victoria's Secret the lingerie brand). Even though we don't use this letter in our alphabet, we know V makes the same sound as our W. 3. Q can be read as /ku/ like in the word "cookie" or just /k/ in Polish but we never use it in our spelling unless it's a foreign word (e.g. Queen the music band). 4. X can be read as /iks/ or /ks/, but again, the only time you will see this letter in Polish is if it's 1) a foreign word like Xerox, 2) a math lesson and 3) the best emoji ever invented which is XD or xd or Xd or xD or iks de. We Poles love xd. XD remains strong in Polish internet culture. 5. Letter Y cannot start a word, it can only end one or stand in the middle of it. The sounds this letter makes in Polish is more or less the sound you make when you say "kit", "hit", "did". The letter we use to write down the sound English Y makes (IPA: [j], like in words yes, you, etc.) is J. With that, you might be starting to think this is going to be problematic for the translation of an English A-Z game and ding dong, you are right! So let me show a few interesting (read: difficult) examples of how our team managed to translate the Amish Butter Churners.

These are examples of those words that were difficult because of their starting letter, but of course this doesn't mean translating all the other words was easy. Surprisingly (or unsurprisingly) on of the easiest ones was... 'cuuun... chicken" which is just a simple "cccip... cykor" (cipa is cunt and cykor is coward). Other ones which were kinda difficult were the "fuck yeah", "god yeah", "hell yeah", which would translate to "kurwa no", "boże no" and "piekło no". However, we have a saying in Poland which is "gitara gra" (a guitar is playing) which is an exclamation we make when something goes well for us. So, since we have a 'G' for 'god yeah', we also did 'filharmonia gra' for 'fuck yeah' (a philharmonic orchestra is playing) and 'harfa gra' for 'hell yeah' (a harp is playing). In the same vain, "butter", "curds", "dairy" wouldn't work because that translates to "masło", "grudki", "nabiał", so instead in Polish Sam and Tom are saying "biały ser" (white cheese), "cheddar" (self-explanatory) and "danonki", which are these cute little cups of yoghurt every single Polish child eats:

And with that sweet little treat, I think I am done with this post! I hope you learned something new and/or cool and let's make some noise for my teammate Aleksandra who translated this game! You go girl!!!

Palome and Kirio

I think we should talk about the similarities between Palome and Kirio. Obviously the story of Palome is a work of fiction within the universe of Iruma-kun created as a group effort between Beem, Iruma, Silvy, and Marnie but the similarities between them are very clear. Palome was a demon who wanted to be accepted by her peers and put herself out only to be ridiculed. From this trauma, she derived pleasure from the experience rather than the typical pain she should have felt. This is not just a sporadic “oh I love the look of despair now!” This came from her deep seated insecurity, previous trauma, and self hatred. Just like Kirio, she has been constantly rejected and to save her from the trauma, her brain derived pleasure from the sensation.

However, we then learn that the only reason she came to this conclusion was because of her sadistic sister. Galna manipulated her their entire relationship and probably contributed to her ostracism. She used Palome’s distress to her benefit to make her loose her mind and spend the rest of her days as a painting. Only to become an even more dangerous painting to one up her sister for the final time.

While Amy came to the conclusion himself to shield himself from the trauma of constant isolation, Baal has also used and twisted his desire from his own gain. A vulnerable young demon who is confused and looking for connection with deep seated issues? That’s the perfect victim to recruit into your budding cult. Kirio may have already been on the track to origins but Baal grew the likelihood and has since been using him. I mean, their relationship is just plain not healthy? A little back and forth teasing is great and all but the abuse he spit at Amy when we first learned about him is just not normal. But for Kirio, he’s the first person he sees as understanding him and when we are talking about evil schemes, this type of relationship is fine right? Idk, it’s just very interesting for Nishi to make a fake character with this type of story when we have a character so similar to Palome. I don’t believe it was an accident. I think we as the audience are supposed to see this, recognize their similarities, and connect all the details.

More evidence pointing towards this is during the Walter Park arch. When Elizabetta is in the shelter, she takes it on herself to take care of the children there. Obviously they are scared out of their minds and confused on what’s going on. From her thoughts we learn that this stressful experience could cause them to have severe issues with their evil cycles or even turn to origins. From this, we know that trauma is one of the root causes for returning to origins. Now I don’t believe it’s the only way, there may just be demons more prone to this line of thinking. Demons who were just born more "primitive." But it’s clear that this is a psychological issue that, if not addressed, can turn to deadly consequences.

The parallels between these two is very curious and it makes me wonder about how Kirio will end up. Will he too be trapped in a "frame," unable to come back to himself and falling too much into the deep end to recover? With this ending, it seems that Baal has won and there's nothing left to do other then to one up him after Kirio has served his purpose. He will fashion himself into a grander painting that will be feared by all that look upon it (or at least, that's his hope). Or will Kirio find a middle ground and escape his fate of being internally trapped in the painting? Will the story have a different end for him? Only our lord and savior Nishi will know the answer.

(Also, I meant to post this a looooong time ago during the haunted house arch but better late than never as they say. Sorry for taking a long time in between posts, college is destroying my brain but I'm surviving.)

[arianna-rsl]

You met RSL?!

yesss! it was amazing so here is a mini blog about my experience. (and a unsolicited photo dump)

so i flew in from canada just to see the play. i begged my mom constantly until she bought the tickets to shut me up (she was pissed lol). we ended up sitting in the second row in the left hand side which is really great because he was really up close to that side for half of the play!

after the play i was in the lobby and my mom said “is that rsl”, he looked like a npc and i didn’t even notice until she said that. he was talking to this guy and i was in shock, i did not know what to tell him but i was just watching them talk like a creep. he was yapping about god knows what (it was really loud) and i heard him swear it was amazing.

when it was finally my turn to speak to him i was DYINGGG. i was really quiet and just let him yap most of the time but he is a really good yapper and i got to stare into his eyes for like 15 minutes. and it was so cute how he switched to a family friendly kind sweet person when he started talking to me vs him swearing with that guy, it was the lamby tapes irl im not even joking that’s what it sounded like. first we just talked about the play and then he said “im so sorry how do you know me you look so young!”. like ok buddy calm down. in my head i wanted to tell him “it’s because your so amazing and talented how could i not” but i just told him i first watched house and dead poets society. then he started yapping about how he only watched 4 episodes of house and then told me the whole dead poets society neil-todd switch story. i knew that story already but he looked so amazing i just let him continue, he definitely didn’t think i knew who ethan hawke was but im not uncultured i swear 🙏

after that he asked what brought me to chicago and my mom said we were just looking around seeing stuff and we came to watch the play. he asked where i came from and he was shocked to hear it was from canada (i attached a video of him touching me during that part of the convo rahhhh). in the video you can’t tell but he was like “canada!? you came from canada?” STOP THE SLANDER BRO. FIRST MY AGE NOW THIS JUST ACCEPT THE FACT IM AWESOME AND A BIG FAN OK. i gave him a letter and he thanked me, we hugged 😏, he yapped more about the play, and then he broke my heart and we separated paths. (btw he told me he was gonna sleep for 12hrs when he got home).

anyways i wrote an analysis on the photos because they just need explaining P.S: ik im chopped in the photos with rsl (why universe, whyyy) but i’ve accepted that atleast rsl is in the same photo as me 😎

-in the first picture with the terrible angle you can see me and rsl side hugging 😊

-in the second you can see me staring at the love of my life speaking with some hooligan who is NOT as big a fan as me

-in the third photo you can see my mom catching me in 4k sending snaps to my bestie

-in the forth you can see us when we first came to the hotel (citizen M, it’s really close to a lot of things i’d recommend for one night)

-in the video you can watch robert sean leonard himself grab my armmmm 🤭

-and in the last photo you can see that he so generously signed my playbill AND wrote my name, i think im in love.. also he has bipolar handwriting .
