Recently the Bandai Namco Pictures Inc. dropped the first episode of much-awaited season two of Mairimashita! Iruma-kun that aired on 17 April 2021. Written and illustrated by Osamu Nishi, it is one of the most popular ongoing anime and manga series. This series follows the adventures of a human through the dark trenches of the demon world called the Netherworld.
Iruma Suzuki is a 14-year-old boy who, throughout his life, had to face many hardships, thanks to his good-for-nothing parents. Since childhood, he had to work multiple jobs to meet the necessities of life. His parents were never there and were busy enjoying themselves, leaving our poor Iruma to fend for himself. Eventually, one day at his job Iruma is kidnapped by a powerful demon named Lord Sullivan as Iruma’s parents sold him for money.
Iruma, on his way to Netherworld, is scared for his life. To his surprise, the demon offers Iruma to become his grandson or else be eaten. Owing to no choice at all, Iruma agrees. Suddenly the menacing demon turns into a jolly old chap. He showers Iruma with gifts and clothes and becomes a doting grandfather who is ready to do absolutely anything for Iruma.
Iruma is enrolled into the prestigious “Babyls High School” for demons, where he decides to keep a low profile. As warned by his grandfather, he might get eaten if anyone discovers that he is a human. However, this is next to impossible as his grandfather Lord Sullivan is the principal of the school, and by virtue of being his grandson, he unwantedly became the centre of attraction. On the very first day, he mistakenly chants a forbidden spell and gets into a fight with the most popular student. Thus, from here starts his extraordinary journey in the demon world.
The demon world is a place where rank is everything. It is the source of the demon’s prestige and power. The ranking system starts from Rank 1: Aleph, the lowest to the highest Rank 10: Yod. Iruma’s grandfather Lord Sullivan, is among ‘The Great Three’ who possesses the second-highest rank of Tet and is one of the candidates for becoming the next Demon King, the Lord of Netherworld, a position that has been vacant for many years. The entire series is filled with highly powerful demons and extraordinary magic spells and fight sequences. Here, we will take a look at the power and abilities of Lord Sullivan.

Power of Lord Sullivan in Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun-
Lord Sullivan is one of the most powerful and influential demons in the Netherworld. He hides his menacing personality underneath his jolly and eccentric side. All the demons in the Netherworld think thrice before angering him. He is one of the most feared and respectable demons.
Lord Sullivan is part of ‘The Great Three‘ beside Lady Levi and Lord Belial. The three of them hold the second-highest rank of Tet and are candidates for the position of Next Demon king – the Lord of the entire Netherworld. In the manga, it is known that the highest rank of Yod was only possessed by the previous Demon King Delkira. Sullivan served Delkira during his reign. Lord Sullivan holds immense power and knowledge, which can be seen from time to time both in the anime and manga series.
Powers and abilities-
- High Magic Affinity and Power: Lord Sullivan is extremely powerful and holds a tremendous amount of power almost possessed by none. In episode 5 (season 1) and manga chapter 8, Iruma gets the’ Ring of Gluttony’, which instantly devours the magical strength of everyone present, making them weak in their knees. Only Lord Sullivan was able to quench the ring’s hunger for power which did not have any effect on him, unlike the others. In chapter 39 and episode 19 (season 1), Iruma was able to defeat Kirio and save the school only by unleashing Sullivan’s entire magic power stored in the ring using the spell ‘Pandora’. It was a highly deadly spell that gives us a glimpse of Sullivan’s true magical powers.
- Gravity Manipulation: He can manipulate the force of gravity and can make things or individuals float. In manga chapter 92, he used the ‘weight regulating spell’- FRACTAL to make Iruma float and also catch the shoplifter.
- Time Manipulation: Lord Sullivan can manipulate time. He can either slow it down to fast-track it. In episode 19( season 1), when the burning embers from the fireworks were about to hit Babyls, he slowed the time and, using his power, rerouted them to fall in the dark pit surrounding the school, thereby saving everyone present there.
- Sharp Senses: When a powerful spell is cast anywhere, he can sense it. As seen in episode 19 (season 1), when Kirio’s magical barriers appeared all over the school, he was able to sense it while being hundreds of kilometres away from the school.
- Teleportation: He possesses the ability to teleport, which can be seen during many instances both in anime and manga series.
- Encrypted Speech: He possesses the ability to speak in encrypted speech, which can be seen in manga chapter 146 while he talks with Baciko revealing that Iruma is a human.

For as long as I can remember I was introduced to the beautiful world of anime when I was in 6th standard. The first anime I ever saw was Gakuen Alice. Suddenly a new world of possibilities and hope opened and since then I have never looked back. As a proud otaku, the thing that interests me the most about anime is its never-ending genres- it caters to the emotions and fantasies of millions. An alternate reality where one can let loose their wings and fly.
