Tenebrais posted:Also just in general, cooking and baking are different skills. If you're making a stew you can go pretty wild and it's hard to make something genuinely bad, especially if you've got a variety of ingredients, but baking is quite technical and needs a reasonable degree of precision to not ruin what comes out. Yeah boiling the poo poo out of things is literally the oldest form of cooking and is basically impossible to gently caress up, whereas baking is precise enough that adding a little too much of a specific ingredient can make the resulting product almost completely inedible.

What Sullivan did with Iruma is definitely a no-no, so he could get in trouble if it becomes wide knowledge(beyond the obvious issues if everyone learns that Iruma is a squishy human).

M_Gargantua posted:I do hope Iruma never becomes some sort of Shonen protagonist with his powerups. Sure his powers do improve and they exist in the plot to help his friends, but it feels way more thematically appropriate for a few of the people around him to become a metaphorical power house for bad guy beat downs while Iruma (and Clara) remain the adorable support roles. Iruma has already done some fairly shonen things and probably will do more in the future, especially since his ring buddy is getting narrative focus again, but I wouldn't worry too much about it. The manga has been one of the better ones I've ever seen about spreading the spotlight around to the side cast quite equitably. You could make a strong argument that Amelie got the most impressive big hero moment of Walter Park, for example. The author seems very invested in everyone from the Misfits(and Amelie) being really important and useful even if Iruma is the focus.

The real tragedy about how quickly and effectively Misfits caught up is that now we won't be getting like 4 releases a week anymore.

Brought To You By posted:The author really wants to hammer home that despite Iruma's life being threatened multiple times while in the demon world. It's still a better existence than what he had with his parents. His life was threatened constantly while he was with his parents, too, it's just that he was in danger of dying due to neglect rather than due to angry demons trying to kill him.

Adnor posted:Everyone should have friends as supporting as Azz-Azz and Clara, and family as good as Sullivan and Opera The best/funniest thing is that everyone both immediately sees through the "disguise" and there's absolutely no "he's dressed as a GIRL????????", they're all just like "hell yeah".

Kalego is a dedicated educator who cares deeply about the growth and development of his students. However, he will murder every single one of these children in an instant if it means he doesn't have to become fluffball again.

I would assume that most demons don't even hit rank 4. Babyls is an important elite school that you have to do entry tests and/or nepotism to get into, so "most students graduate Babyls at rank 4" suggests to me that that's sort of the lower bound of the upper classes.

She's a nice person sure but she also carried around a photo of someone she met only once for like half a year Iruma has a way of inspiring insane devotion in demons easily. Asmodeus swore basically eternal loyalty to him after having a single match with him, and everyone else basically falls in love with him the moment they meet him.

The point was less to be an effective teaching lesson and more of a "the teachers are bored and also want to knock the misfits down a peg just to keep them from getting too arrogant and also because demons enjoy loving with people like that" scenario.

Rand Brittain posted:It's definitely been mentioned before in a "ha-ha" kind of way, but there's a difference between "hee hee, demon classes involve blackmail and torture" and "Jazz gets brutalized on-page by someone he's supposed to be able to trust so that the Misfits can have a fancy classroom". Owl Boy just got his rear end beaten into unconsciousness while functionally not fighting back against a teacher. Even before this arc, Jazz's entire training arc consisted of being abused, lied to, tricked, exploited, and abandoned by his supposed mentor to acclimate him to others doing that to him(even his little flashback features his mentor laughing at him for getting scammed). We've long since thrown out the "the kids are meant to feel safe and trust their teachers" concept.

I don't think so. We already have a couple of traitor teachers, I think torture guy just loves torture and every opportunity he has to try it out on people, because he's a demon and this is a demon school. The only weird part of this chapter is that I expected the torture to be portrayed a lot more cartoonishly.

Rand Brittain posted:After all my complaints about the teachers taking this exercise too far, it would be hilarious if this is just the end of the battle sequence and the rest of the volume is a highly-emotional series of arguments about whether the teachers brought this outcome upon themselves, or whether Sabnock should be expelled, executed, or promoted for murdering an instructor. I'd rate the odds that rear end in a top hat here is dead at close to 0%.

Darth Walrus posted:I suspect that the purpose of all this will be to divert suspicion away from Sheeda, maybe by having her save the day and protect the students. Don't know whether it will be because of blackmail, acting skills, or some sort of Manchurian Candidate poo poo, but she's probably going to be the far more dangerous of the two Fingers to Bablys. I'd think that if anything, Atori going loud like this would draw a lot of suspicion to Sheeda as well, because they both joined at the same time and are both still outsiders compared to the rest of the teachers who are relatively close-knit. She might end up saving some people to defray suspicion though, yeah.

He got tortured for real, the torture teacher asked for permission to go all out and use even more horrific things and was denied.

Soylentbits posted:I still think they’re setting up a heel turn down the line from torture teacher. I'm almost 100% sure that torture teacher is just a bad gag that doesn't land well. He's hardly the only teacher who has no problem harming his students, after all - poor Jazz also has to deal with Furfur as a mentor, who deliberately sabotages, steals from, and fucks over his students as well. Babyls does seem to advocate tough love/school of hard knocks teaching.

Brought To You By posted:That fakeout worked on me. But I appreciate Iruma calling on his best friend first and getting their Mother instead. Lord only knows how powerful she actually is if she even snuck up on Opera of all people. I assume he specifically called for Alice and then Amuryllis tagged along because she thought it would be amusing. She's one of the crowns, though, so she's gotta be near the top of the heap.

Captain Invictus posted:theorizing time before we find out for real, what does everyone think causes the date's infamous name? I personally wonder if the "betrayal" is going to be iruma revealed as a human, and Sullivan ousted from leadership for abducting/hiding a human the way he did being the betrayal in question(against the demon race or somesuch), since I think we saw mention of that being a taboo earlier in the series. kirio has been showing up occasionally and baal's mucking about so that's about the most nonviolent way I can see this ending I'm wondering this too. "Everyone finding out that Iruma is human" is the biggest bombshell the series has in reserve, with potentially more of a dramatic effect on the status quo than someone dying or turning traitor.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:iruma's not important enough yet. his species being revealed would incite a hunt, not a war. Iruma is the adopted grandson of one of the three most powerful demons that currently exist and commands the personal affection/loyalty of a bunch of people who are either very powerful themselves(Balam, Opera, Bachiko, almost assuredly Kalego) or are important parts of very powerful families(Amelie, most of his class). Baal going "by the by, Sullivan's grandson is a human, why are we allowing a human among us and what does that say about Sullivan" would instantaneously draw battle lines of some sort. We've seen ample proof that Sullivan gets absolutely serious mode murderous when Iruma is under any sort of threat.

This is going to be especially relevant if it becomes public that he's a human, which will instantly predispose people to regard him as either a bizarre curiosity or an enemy rather than a colleague or peer before he even has a chance to give them the old razzle dazzle.

I am getting extremely tired of people saying Iruma is human but getting cut off by something conveniently loud/distracting enough to stop them from being heard, then just not bothering to repeat themselves. It was complained about above but it's becoming so dumb and contrived that it's irritating.
