Um...Soifon will also be going against his prodigious brother that taught him how to use his power.Obviously this is an important moment for everyone in the class, but I think it's worth pointing out 2 demons in particular:
- Sabnok dreams about becoming the next Demon King, so defying Border Patrol puts him at risk of being ineligible. Plus he doesn't know yet, but this will put him directly against his uncle Baal.
- Kerori isn't just risking her future like everybody else, she is risking her whole career as a top idol, since being arrested would mean her identity gets revealed and it all comes crashing down.
They all are making incredibly hard choices, and the writing fully justifies why. Nishi continues being a master at her craft.

I wonder though. Like, the writing explains WHY they would want to help Iruma and the friendship between all of them has been carefully developed. But in this case they are not just rushing to aid Iruma like usual nor risking only their lives. They are going against demon ICE and taking action that might disrupt order in the netherworld. Consequences doesn't stop at getting harmed, they might put their families in danger as well whether they succeed or fail. Of course this manga would hardly take such a darker turn, but I was hoping for some hesitation or at least that one single step back before last minute change of mind trope.Obviously this is an important moment for everyone in the class, but I think it's worth pointing out 2 demons in particular:

To be fair, Balam had to spell out the exact consequences to Azz and Clara. Something Azz here neglected to do in detail, only outlining the scope in vague terms. Personal growth or not, you can't expect de-facto kids to properly think those things through unprompted. Hell, a lot of IRL adults wouldn't think about the potential danger to those around them, at best thinking about personal danger. So while this chapter gives us a nice "aww" scene, there's a non-zero chance for at least some of the Misfits to have some belated realizations in the future. Not enough to back out maybe, but enough to keep things spicy.I was hoping for some hesitation or at least that one single step back before last minute change of mind trope.
....I know this is unexpected, but I actually hope they fail (end up splitting up or don't provide the support each other needs against the demons they end up against, so bad matchups all around), and Iruma ends up going back to the human world, even if just for a short time. I want the villain's plan to actually work out initially... and then for Iruma to come back and they blow it all apart with his help, as a united group.Well there's our answer for how this arc is going to end: Iruma's birthday is coming up so after they save him and everyone recovers from whatever shonen madness happens in the process they throw him his birthday party so we can have a ray of sunshine following the darkest arc in the series.
