Mairimashita! Iruma-kun - Ch. 450 - I'm Begging You

[marcos.rodriguesart]

Nooo. I catchup 😭😭

 

[dowiet]

You see... Opera's foot slipped. What a disaster of an accident

 

[SchultzD]

To threaten to behead the human that was literally in the hands of the demon, who'd wiped the floor with your personnel a moment ago? Isn't that an ingenious threat to the entire Netherworld? Creating a primal demon and all that?
And, yeah, I hope that Sullivan went to the Deity princess to reveal Baal's plot to gain her favour through the assassination attempt.

 

[Bublle]

YEAHHHHHHHH GET THEIR ASS OPERA-SAN!!

Dude... This is you may say elite school for all intents and purposes... Misfits may they be, good half of Iruma's acquaintances are some of the powerful elites of the demon world. I don't think the power balance in the situation is understood properly.

It's not about the power balance, it's about the cost/benefit ratio. Sure Iruma has a lot of friends in high places, but the power of those friends comes with responsibilities, namely to uphold the order of the Netherworld. Which is far from stable as of now - we've been told as much during the Thirteen Dinner, Mephisto was implying it when describing the many-ears status, and the clans of the three heroes were straight up willing to fight the Crowns over a perceived insult. So any powerful allies of Iruma basically have to decide if helping one boy is worth starting a civil war. Not an easy call to make.

I got to stop you right there on "uphold the order of the Netherworld". To begin with, the order of the Netherworld is bigger fish gets the sea. Out of that comes individual view on how this order must look like. In larger scale it's will of the demon lords, in microcosm it's each of the schools we saw earlyer.
And border patrol may think their view is correct, but they threaten to poke much bigger powers then themselves.
In other words, it's like knight demands to give him the princess or he will go and kill the dragon.

Baal please, stop posting on a manga site and go have tea with a god-loli or something.

We've been directly told by Mephisto that even though the "might makes right" approach still reigns supreme, demons have mellowed out considerably over the ages. Now, I understand that this is basically applying real life logic to a work of fiction, but realistically a society doesn't change just because, it changes under some external or internal pressure. We know of nothing external challenging the demon rule. Only the deities would be able to do it anyway, and they seem neutral to reasonably friendly, even caring in some occasions. Thus we can assume this change in attitude from generous application of force to a mere display of it, sprinkled with diplomacy wherever appropriate, was spearheaded by the netherworld's own movers and shakers - the Greats, the Crowns and/or the heroes. And we can see that only the overly ambitious and unscrupulous upstarts like Baal with his motley crew, and Narnia with his demon ICE are actually trying to undermine this status quo. Which is somewhat reasonable - everyone else already got their own slice of the power pie, and those two have just arrived at the table. The upstarts are thus the only ones who stand to gain from any upheaval, for everyone else this would be just pointless chaos eroding their power and damaging everything they've built up so far.

My Heart. It hurt

 

[Barrier-kun]

Opera-san
Oji-chan may you be successful in your negotiations!

 

[Kuntatooooo]

The heck can the Border Demon Patrol do to the rest of the 12 misfits though. Try harassing Sabnock/Alice. I dare you.

 

[Calantha]

FUCK YEAH OPERA THE GOOOOOAT

 

[Princessalicemanor]

"Not even the three greats can obstruct us in this duty..."

Opera: Well, It's a good thing I'm not one of them then huh??

 

[sirmidor]

Putting aside the fact that you are reading a fan translation…

[... but the original is already ...]

I didn't claim the chapter here isn't a fan translation, so that's a weird hallucination on your part. I am commenting on the ideas in the manga, as written by the author, and as influenced by Kodansha's agenda, which I severely dislike. Twisting any criticism as a lack of understanding is playground-level rhetoric. I read the manga because I enjoy it and I'll continue to do so as long as I do, that doesn't mean I can't dislike aspects of it, and it's childish to demand otherwise.

Isn't most if not all technology in the underworld powered by magic? Because if so, that collar would basically be just a necklace if he used his ring. On that note, why does he never use his ring to defend himself. Not a single demon border patrol officer would be able to so much as touch him except for the most powerful demons. What has his ring been doing this whole time, TAKING A DAMN NAP IS MY GUESS.

OPERA MY GOAT

 

[PLInkali]

Realised during services this morning that the shul in Tokyo must be queer friendly, all things considered.
I do think it has a mechitza, though, iirc. Not been, yet.

He's trying to make him into a king, not a tyrant.

This reads like InferKit.

OH MY GOD???????

Damn, that frame with Opera was so cool.
