Have you heard of the popular comic "Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun"? It's a school fantasy comedy currently being serialized in Weekly Shonen Champion. The original author is Nishi Osamu. It's a slapstick comedy set in a demon school. It's gained popularity for its fast-paced gags and cute illustrations, and an anime adaptation is scheduled to begin in October of this year. In this article, we'll introduce you to Sullivan, a character from "Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun." Sullivan is the "grandfather" of the main character, Suzuki Iruma. What does that mean? We'll take a closer look.
What kind of character is Sullivan?
Sullivan is one of the Three Great Demons of the Demon World, having won 13 titles. His rank is Tet (9) and he also serves as the chairman of the Demon School, Babylon. He's a very important figure in the Demon World. He interacts frequently with the main character, Iruma, so many people have probably seen him before.
What does he look like?
He's characterized by his mustache, shaved head, and horns. His appearance is truly demonic, and quite scary. He's usually a tall, skinny old demon, but in comedy scenes, he takes on a two-headed, egg-like figure. (You see that quite often, don't you?) He's supposed to be a terrifying demon, but his frequent dedication to comedy adds to his charm.
He Loves Iruma-kun!
He welcomes the protagonist, Suzuki Iruma, who came from the human world to the demon world, as his step-grandson. He claims he's always wanted a grandchild. He dotes on Iruma with all his heart and loves to spoil him; he's what you'd call a "grandson nut." Iruma-kun was initially hesitant, but they gradually warmed up to him and now call him "Grandpa." It's a mystery why he chose a human like Iruma as his grandson.
He's Actually a Scary Demon!?
So, while he's usually a laid-back and kind grandfather, he's actually one of the top three great demons in the demon world! By the way, he once served as Delkira's aide. It's hard to imagine that, considering his usual laid-back demeanor.

What are the 13 Crowns?
The collective term for the 13 high-ranking demons who represent the demon world. They are the top figures in the demon world. Demon meetings are called "Thirteen Crown Dinner." The top three of the 13 Crowns are known as the "Three Great Demons of the Demon World." They are the candidates for the next Demon King. However, unlike the other 13 Crowns, he is reluctant to select the Demon King. Furthermore, he brags about his grandchildren during meetings. Because of this, the single Sullivan was forced to serve as judge. However, he also wanted to brag about his grandchild, so he adopted Iruma-kun. This may have been one of the reasons. Others include Belial, Lady Levy, Balzebuth, Astaro, Asmodeus Amrilis, Amaimon, Behemoth, Azazel Henri, Paimon, Baal, and Gracia. Incidentally, Sullivan is the top!
Who is Delkira?
Although he has already passed away, he was the previous Demon King. A legendary figure nicknamed the "Demon King of Vanishing," he called Sullivan, his aide at the time, "Sacchan." Incidentally, as the top of the 13 Crowns, Sullivan is naturally a candidate for the next Demon King. What will happen? It's one of the things I'm curious about as the story unfolds.
People Surrounding Sullivan
Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun is a work with a large cast of characters, but here we'll introduce some of the people who have particularly close ties with Sullivan.
Opera
She is Sullivan's aide. She has braided hair and cat ears. While she usually has a cold personality and often appears expressionless, she actually has a sharp tongue and a sadistic side. Furthermore, her cat ears express more emotion than her facial expression. Initially, she had doubts about Sullivan's decision to adopt Iruma-kun as her grandson. However, he doesn't seem to mind being attached to Iruma, and sometimes gives him various advice. He's also a senior to Shichirou and Karuego, and is sometimes depicted treating Karuego like a lackey. When he accompanied Sullivan to Walter Park as an escort, he led the opera team. He played a key role in defeating the synthetic monsters that appeared as a result of the terrorist attack and preventing the collapse of the park.
Iruma Suzuki
He's the undisputed protagonist of this work! His personality is simply "super" kind. In the human world, his selfish parents prevented him from living a normal, peaceful life. There's always something happening around him, and he has the ability to avoid danger and crises, as well as skills like aikido, gluttony, and machine repair. This makes him a superhuman with a steely mentality, able to remain calm in any predicament. However, he lacks the ability to launch preemptive attacks. Also, as a result of being manipulated by his parents, he's become a super-kind-hearted person who can't refuse anyone's requests. He's weak when asked for favors. He also seems to trust Sullivan, calling him "Grandpa."
Summary of Sullivan's Introduction!
That concludes our summary of Sullivan, a character from "Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun"! Despite his seemingly scary appearance, he's actually quite fond of his grandson, Iruma-kun, which is quite a contrast. What's even more surprising is that he's actually the leader of the demon world. What will happen to Sullivan in the future? We're looking forward to seeing how he interacts with his grandson, Iruma-kun. "Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun" is also set to be adapted into an anime soon. Don't you think it'll become even more popular once it's made? If you're interested, we recommend checking out the original manga now. Thank you for reading this far.
