It's almost kinda creepy how illusions can fool Iruma. The way his "parents" behave felt so out of character. 

On the other hand, I'm glad to see Barbatos again and she's still crazy as ever LOL.

One time when I was much younger I had acid and believe me illusions or the concept of reality and whats going on can feel very real and happening. First and last time I did that. Worst experience ever.

Still personal thoughts aside, the current continuum is collapsing. Seeing Iruma break through the illusion has only encouraged the root. We are now registering a 4.97 event. We only have 0.03 left of the holding field before complete collapse!

Iruma and Naphula on their way back from getting the Seed of Beginnings from Toto the Genie, but how to split the points? Let's leave it for now.

The 2nd day of the Harvest Festival, and Iruma recalls his young times of how his parents pushed him for their enjoyment, that with the Netherworld, he has finally settled down for good. Getting out of the cave is a cinch, but what Iruma doesn't realize is that his parents coincidently showing up on him, it's an illusion inflicted from Orobas, that thanks to Naphula, he avoided being taken down, but falling into the abyss pretty much guarantees his assumption of a loss of life. YELP...

Thankfully, with such a fall, Iruma stays intact, with the only injury being his leg. But Orobas's word is true: the trauma will stick with Iruma until the end of the Harvest Festival, and unless he finds a way out, it'll stick to him close like glue. But learning from Master Bachiko, certainly gave Iruma the confidence, though it proved to be difficult at his learning stages to prepare him for any kind of troubles going forward. And then it's wash, rinse and repeat to get seasoned, which the stamina for concentration is far beyond what the Master herself surmised to be surprised. And now, Iruma is taking all of the lessons learnt and eliminating the trauma out from his life.

Better be prepared Iruma. There'll be more situations like these...and it's not over yet.

Good, good. Sometimes I feel like the writers forget who the MC is. Bachiko finally got some serious air time this ep with her timely training regimen. Iruma-kun could do a lot worse than being her boy for life.

Best episode of this arc by far. Finally some development. Was really hard to see iruma cry like that, but him overcoming his fears on his own and mastering his arrow was awesome. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

Now that iruma overcame that fear, he is motivated and is a contender for the 1st place. He was enjoying himself but is time to get serious.

And so here we are, at the end of day 2 of the 4 and a half day long harvest festival. All that's left is for the dominos to fall as they are. 

I really do enjoy the theme that plays whenever the bow comes out. Its like you know something big is gonna happen.

Another amazing episode of Iruma-kun. I didn't expect a tear-jerker but it worked perfectly and matched the tone of the series.

A light-hearted fantasy comedy is a niche I came to love and this series takes it to the next level. Not only the whole Misfit Class is getting deeper characterization season by season instead of relying solely on funny shenanigans, but their skill development is satisfactory and earned too!!

I can't believe it took this long of the Harvest Festival for Iruma to actually do something impactful, and it's about time he takes this seriously so it can come to an end more quickly.

That dude's power is disturbing. At least Iruma got through it stronger. I imagine it not working on Clara.

this episode was largely a massive waste of time, much like this entire arc. it's been three months and yet only 2 days have passed. actually the second day still hasn't passed. this is an enormous disappointment.

Poor Irumacchi, He spent all his life alone and now that he finally has so many people he cares about around him he doesn't ever want to lose them, I like the fact he knows they wouldn't act like that but it is still a deep fear of him to be rejected.

More Bachiko is always a good thing for me.

I'm glad iruma is standing and it would be so funny to see the guys reaction after he realizes iruma defeated it. Also now that you mentioned Clara I honestly think she would have the same fear as iruma especially after she took everything from iruma.

Am I the only one who was worried when Iruma's parents showed up? Glad he figured out it was an illusion after all.

Then I was very happy, I had just been complaining about the Bow not being used, and finally we get Bachiko Sensei flashbacks and the bow finally gets used. Yay!

Let me explain the context. This arc and the next arc after this were supposed to be an epic arc. Almost every manga readers though that this current arc will be 1 cour and the other half of s3 will be the music fes arc. Then this super shit pacing enters the chat. Even as a manga reader, i will drop this season and will wait for s4 instead (if there’s any...)

Dude can unleash full psychological attack against Iruma and make him fall and get hurt... while other can not give a little punch without being disqualified (even if they were under psychological attack from a demon ability and didn't mean to attack a student).
Doesn't make any sense and give some students unfair advantage depending on their ability...
(But, I guess we're not supposed to say it)
(I mean, the guy literally said "If he survives from this")
Either demon can use their ability against each other, or they can't.
Either demon can inflict damage directly or indirectly, or they can't.
But having demon being able to use their full ability while other can not attack them...
I mean, they are supposed to be demon, so...

I'm not that person but i really have to wonder, too how this arc ended up being this dragged and boring with that much hype behind it from manga readers. Can't explain it other than it probably completely fails to translate into anime.

This brings me back a bit, now i"m wondering what everyone will think once they find out iruma is lying lolz ad yea humans and demons can't coexist. Even within the human realm we can't get along.

Such a HUGE character moment for our MC!
Also, I strongly feel that Iruma-kun is based off of Hayate, from Hayate the Combat Butler. They are both blue-haired yes-men who have anime's worst parents. Has ANYONE else noticed how amazingly similar these two are? They get saved by different people and get their lives changed, but their backstories are near IDENTICAL!

Yes only took him one-cour worth of episodes but atleast Iruma did something other than reciting shoujo manags or any of the useless shit he's on since the start of this arc.
