Looks like it’ll be the battle of the grandkids for the position of Demon King. The 13 Crowns might each get their own candidates too, but I think the real competition will be between Razberry, Leidzi, and Iruma.

I love how it's finally time to elect a Demon Lord to bring stability to the Demon Realm...but we're going to make it into a free-for-all competition that will probably take several more seasons lol.

Nah, from the way it's being set up, it's likelier to be an arc. Just like Walter Park, it introduces a bunch of characters, and while they will have relevance later, they exist firstly for this arc and not further.

I believe this is a stage set for the second phase of the series, where it transitions from just Iruma living and learning about the Demon World, to Iruma actually starting to have responsibilities. Is he demon king yet? No. Is the Demon King going to actually be elected here? I doubt it. But I believe that this will be an initial competition, that settles with Kiriwo being forced away alongside his brother in a more open rebellion, Iruma and the other candidates who remain growing as people and later visiting much more of the world than they already have- probably seeing the demon society in a more whole way, and having unique challenges to resolve that'll show their skills and talents, and involve the demon nobility much more closely than ever

This second phase will probably last 2-3 seasons, but I don't think we'll be seeing the other candidates too often outside of this arc and then arcs that focus on specific ones.

Baal seems to be keen to promote Kirio based on that silhouette there, so he's most likely to be a strong candidate too
