[CANDIDATES] We are deeply honored
to be granted an audience with the 13 Crowns.
Let's skip the formalities.
The only thing we need from the three of you
is the answer to one simple question--
if the day comes that you are crowned Demon King,
what sort of Netherworld will you create,
and how will you rule?
My rules will be law and every demon
will obey them to the letter.
The Netherworld I'd create will be free and disciplined.

Genius!
Give him first place.
Lady Levi, please refrain from taking photos
during the interview.
[clears throat] And how about you?
Yeah, I'll go!
[clinking]
My Netherworld would be dope.
Lots of fun for everybody!
Fun where the strongest stand on top,
and the weak will eat dirt.
Up front and exciting, like a proper demon.
He's perfect.
My grandson's a powerful legend.
Lord Belial, please refrain from giving out money
during the interview.
Now then-- and you?
Uh--
[BELZEBUTH] Young Iruma, exactly what kind
of Netherworld would you create?
[mumbles]
Well, I-- uh, I--
You know, well, I think the Netherworld
is perfectly fine just the way it is right now, so--
Oh.
Oh?
[curious music]
Mm.
[groans]
Does that mean you believe all the instability
that's happening is fine, too?
Wait, is the Netherworld really unstable right now?
[growls]
[clears throat] I see.
So you aren't very knowledgeable
regarding current affairs, are you?
Uh, I'm sorry.
Anything outside of Babyls is news to me.
Yes. Well, after all, you are--
never mind.
Hm.
[gasps]
Then maybe I think I'd want to create
another world that's like Babyls Demon School,
or something close to it.
- Huh? - Hmm?
Mm.
Oh.
So basically, you want to have Lord Sullivan
be Demon King, yeah?
That's not exactly what I meant,
but maybe that would be kind of fun.
Perhaps I should become the Demon King.
Hey, now!
That wasn't the deal, Sully!
[groans]
Well, thank you for sharing with us.
That will be all for today's interview.
We'd like you three to keep your ambitions in your heart,
compete with each other

[BAAL] How are things over at Demon Border Patrol?
[AZAZEL] Oh.
Well, recently I've been helping out
with the investigation surrounding Bahamut.
That's good to hear.
There have been any other incidents going down lately
that might shake up the Netherworld?
Nothing to speak of right now.
Thanks for always being so welcoming.
Don't even mention it, doll.
Let's play dress up again sometime, OK?
Oh.
Sure.
[ASMODEUS AMURYLLIS] Oh, you agree!
[AZAZEL] I'm fairly certain he's a human Lord Sullivan
brought to the Netherworld.
And he's been welcomed to the dinner of the 13 Crowns,
the core of this world.
What exactly are you playing at, Lord Sullivan?
Hmm.
Is that look on your face telling a different story?
No.
No, there's something.
No.

Well, whatever then.

Mr. Henri, it's been a while.
Oh, Iruma.
I'm thankful for Ameri always being there to take care of me.
Take care of you?
I see.
Hmm?
[intriguing music]
Apologies.
I thought I was inviting you to a simple dinner,
but everything ended up so chaotic.
Please, there's no need to worry.
Although, to think that Iruma is a candidate
for the next Demon King--
I should thank you.
The fact that you've considered me
as one of Iruma's instructors is truly
one of the highest honors.
As things stand, you're only a candidate to become
a new member of the 13 Crowns.
But if it were up to me, I'd like nothing more
than for you to shoulder the future of the Netherworld.
[gasps] Lord Sullivan!
I have the highest of hopes for you, Bachiko.
Hm!
I, Bachico Barbatos, will honor your words, Lord Sullivan.
And I will continue to do my best
to live up to your expectations.
[IRUMA] Master!
Mm?
There you are, Master!
Congrats on your candidacy for the 13 Crowns.
Don't get too excited.
I'm just a candidate.
You ain't got to congratulate me yet, idiot student.
Excuse me, Bachiko.
Did I just hear you call my darling Iruma an idiot?
[jazz music]
Hm.
- Iruma, hey. - Mm?
[clears throat]
I apologize for the misunderstandings
from earlier.
Oh, don't worry about it.
I must admit, your reputation precedes you.
Ah--
[LEIJI] I heard about the incident at Walter Park
and the opening of the Royal One at Babyls.
[intriguing music]
You're doing right.
- Oh, yeah. - Hold up.
So that was all you?
Damn!
You got some motion for real.
Anyway,
as the three great-grandsons,
I expect that we will be seeing a lot more
of each other as time goes on.
[laughs]
Oh.
Then mark my words now, I won't lose to either of you!
Oh.
[ALL] Mm!
Oh, yeah!
Same here.
Come at me with all you got, Leiji.
You too, Iruma!
Huh? Oh.
Uh, sure.
[chuckling]
Why are we touching?
You started it.
You kind of did.
[LADY LEVI] Hey, boys.
Mm?
Look at you three.
Let's take this chance to get a picture.
All right.
Scooch in closer.
Perfect.
Now, do the three great-grandsons pose.
Three, what Now?
Three!
Like this?
Hold it!
I will decide on the pose.
[LADY LEVI] Picture time!
Say, Devi.
[camera shutter clicks]
Devi-good!
Let's see.
Let's see!
[gasping]
Hey, why is Iruma so small?
Put Raz more toward the middle?
This photo is perfect just the way it is!
Now, let's take another one.
[grunting]
[BELIAL] Hand over that camera!
[SULLIVAN] No, give it to me!
I need more shots of Iruma!
[LADY LEVI] This is mine!
[BELIAL] You're playing favorites
with your own grandson!
[SULLIVAN] Oh, please, Belial.
You play favorites, too!
[LADY LEVI] I'll take the picture.
Keep this up--
You can do it, Grandmother!
Defeat them!
Take her out, Grandpaddy!
[SULLIVAN] Hmm.
That was pretty fun, huh?
Yeah, it was!
How was it?
Were you nervous?
Kind of.
[sighs] But, of course,
out of the three grandsons,
you were the cutest, Iruma.
I'm so proud of you, my darling boy.
We took lots of pictures, so I'll ask Opera later
to make them into tapestries,
posters, cushions--
[IRUMA] Grandpa--
Mm?
[wheels crunching]
Do you really
want me to become the Demon King?
[horse neighing]
Hmm.
The Demon King
is the one who holds the highest and heaviest
position in the Netherworld.
You see, while you consider your options for the future,
I want to make sure becoming Demon King
is another potential path for you to choose.
[soft music]
However, that sort of path requires lots of preparation.
This visit was the first part of that.
And if you decide being Demon King isn't for you,
that's fine, too, of course.
Basically, your grandpa's just being a busybody.
I see.
Well, thank you.
But still, I sort of felt a little out of place there,
and I didn't give a good answer to that question either.
Well, that's totally fine.
That question was pointless anyway.
[laughter]
Those three were rather interesting younglings.
Yep.
I liked how that Leiji kid put away the grub.
[curious music]
Contrary to his appearance, he sunk his teeth in
and ate graciously.
Then when I pointed out his bad manners--
According to my rules, this method of eating
is proper etiquette.
[AMAYMON] Was his response.
His rules are absolute to him,
and I like that unwavering confidence.
The kid is one truly audacious demon.
On the other hand, there's Razberry.
♪ ♪
Mm.
[AZAZEL] His use of utensils left much to be desired.
But he was, by far, the neatest eater out of the mall.
[AMAYMON] He was making some weird food
by combining random dishes as he pleased, though.
[AZAZEL] Also, he must be a picky eater,
based on how he put the foods
he disliked on another plate.
[AMAYMON] Yeah, on Leiji's secretly.
[slurps]
Naturally, demons are what they eat.
Their true nature reveals itself when feasting.
That's exactly why we always have dinner,
to discuss current affairs.
[laughs] Yeah, that brings out
the real you more than some unfiltered
remark from a fledgling.
Like our greed is on full display.
Yeah, greed's the perfect word for it.
And the best example of that.
[IRUMA] Oh.
Oh, my Devi, this is good!
So delicious.
Excuse me.
Would it be OK if I get seconds?
[laughter]
A guest has never asked for seconds at the dinner
of the 13 Crowns before, and he savored every last bite,
like it was the best food he ever done tasted.
He wiped his plate completely clean.
With his stomach, he could even go toe to toe
with Behemoth, perhaps.
Huh?
Now, that's a terrifying thought.
It's fine.
[intriguing music]
[thunder rumbling]
All that means is that he's got bottomless greed, right?
Gives me chills, though.
Imagine someone like that actually becoming Demon King.

Uh-huh.
You ate crowns for dinner?
Not only that, but you were introduced to the 13 Crowns
as a talented and capable young demon.
Mm.
It wouldn't be a stretch to say
you're going to be the next Demon King.
Yes, it would!
How those 13 Crowns taste, though?
I was really just there to tag along with my grandpa.
Even so, it's amazing, Master.
I had been making my own various preparations as well.
But as expected, I simply cannot
compare to your magnificence.
What preparations?
But for real, why crowns?
Yes.
Once the new year starts
and our short third term ends,
we will start our new school year.
[upbeat music]
Meaning we must prepare to become second years!
Oh, yeah, that's right!

Kohai?
Oh, yeah, you're totally right.

Do you like rice balls?
Cookies, Senpai!
Oh, no.

Wait, Master, I believe you have the wrong idea.
Master Iruma!
Listen, Iruma-kun.
If you don't act like a proper Senpai,
they'll walk all over you!
Go buy us some bread already, Pie-San.

This will happen to you.
Ah!
If any scoundrel even tries that, I'll burn them to ashes.
Azz, no!
Don't burn the babies.
All right, time for some role play!
[boing]
Think of it like practice.
Me and Az-Az will play the kohai.
And then you can be the super cool Senpai.
Wait, what?
Can I pull that off?
[CLARA] OK, we're ready to roll.
Let's start with an energetic greeting.
Iruma-kun Senpai!
Iruma-- Senpai!
Good morning!
Yo, what's up?
[CLARA] Nah!
You're too stiff.
You gotta chill out, Iruma-kun.
And when do you ever say, wassup?
Never.
And remember, Master, you needn't speak formally
to your kohai either.
[IRUMA] Oh.
I'm having a hard time getting used to this, guys.
Alrighty, Az-Az, show him how it's done.
Show him what?
We're gonna be loud and fussy, so you scold us.
You're really good at that.
Go on.
Her requests are incorrigible.
And action!
Hi, Asmodeus Senpai.
[ALICE] Ah!
Top of the morning, Senpai!
You seem down.
Wanna come shake some maracas with me?
Or dance it all out while I play?
Come on!
Gotta yell at us, Senpai. Yell!
Yell?
But I can't yell at Master Iruma,
even in the throes of playing murder house.
Senpai!
Asmodeus Senpai!
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
[CLARA] Hey!
Practice, it's just practice.
Even if I am Master Iruma's best friend,
I couldn't possibly speak to him so casually.
What am I to do?
[IRUMA] Huh? Azz?
What's wrong?
Hey, what happened?
- Wait, is he breathing? - Hey, now.
Dear little kohai got to shake it in your boots, Senpai?
Stop poking me, Valac. And you're too noisy.
Sit down and do your homework silently.
You've got no problem scolding me, Senpai.
Come on, Azz.
It's OK if you yell at me too, you know?
It'll be sort of like when we first met.
Like the first time we met?
So you mean--
The name's Iruma.
Stand aside, class rep, while I do the address.
[laughs]
Such authority!
[non-English speech]
My eyes!
But I want to bask in this brilliance forever.
Time to duel!
Yes, sir!
Ah!
Too slow.
Do try to keep up, Asmodeus, dear.
[ASMODEUS] You slayed me, Master Iruma!
Please, make me your subordinate!
OK.
I suppose things haven't changed much, have they?
[IRUMA] No, no, no.
That's not how that day went down at all.
For me or for you!
I mean, you're joking, right?
We can't just erase that version of Azz from history.
Whatever do you mean, sir?
The first time we met.
Heave, ho!
Heave, ho! Heave, ho!
Clara, that's not what happened either.
What is this?
Oh, brother Az-Az, you're not good at this at all.
If you would like, I can give you
a proper scolding right now.
I guess I've got no choice.
Teach us, Clara Senpai.
[screaming]
Hello, boys and girls out there.
The great Clara Senpai has lots and lots to teach you.
So open those ears and listen well.
Yes, Senpai!
Hmm.
There'll be no running in the halls.
And the same goes for flying.
Tissues, hankies, and candies are your everyday essentials.
When you come in from outside, wash your hands and horns.
If you run into a Senpai, make sure to greet them
with a strong hello.
[BOTH] Right.
What?
Teachers are really scary if you make them mad.
So keep any mischief as secret as can be.
And be extra careful around Eggie Teach.
His punishments are the worst.
- Don't forget. - [BOTH] Right!
[IRUMA] Actually, hold up a minute.
She's doing a pretty great job at this Senpai thing.
If you're ever in trouble, just tell your Senpai.
[BOTH] Right.
[IRUMA] Teaching them about the school is a good idea.
[CLARA] Ain't it?
And you should always be polite, too.
I need to think about how to best show off your dignity.
Right.
OK, let's do this head hoodlum style
- and show off our power! - Ooh! Good idea.
- [ASMODEUS] Hold it. - Mm?
Do not forget about elegance.
Our clothing should be giving luxury, noble.
[BOTH] Oh!
[tense music]
Noble head hoodlum style, overflowing with dignity.
You can talk to me about anything.
Hey!
[laughs]
Sorry, Mister.
You're so funny.
Jeez.
This is all over the place.
[CLARA] Should we ask Nell now, Senpai?
[ASMODEUS] Schenell Senpai?
How about no?
[IRUMA laughs]
But you know, no matter what our kohai are like,
and when we become second years,
I'm sure as long as we're together,
we'll have another fun year ahead of us.
[adventure music]
[laughs]
Yes, of course, we will!
Yeah, totally!
It's gonna be lots of fun for everybody!
[chuckles] I guess we'll have to do lots more studying, too.
