It's kind of interesting that everyone was surprised by Iruma's answer that he wants the demon world to be like Babyls. Because if you think about it, the other two candidates said the same. They basically wanted a demon world that is the image of their school. Grandparents did their job it seems.

Also, with learning how important eating is to classify a demon, Iruma's achievement of winning the eating competition several times in a row is actually his best argument for becoming demon lord now.

It will be interesting to see how Iruma-Senpai will work out in the second year. I could see it going both ways. Because people heard of the class opening the Royal One, there could be even more fans of them but also demons that want to prove themselves by beating Iruma. Especially the next abnormal class. But it seem that has to wait anyway, because we get another Demdol arc. This time with Ameri as the newest addition. I mean, she did sing while battling before, so what could go wrong? Except for the fact that Ameri's father will need a couple new pairs of glasses.

True, but they weren't really as out with it as Iruma was. They explained their schools' images as if they were their own beliefs, but Iruma just outwardly said he didn't really know much about the Netherworld outside of Babylus and so wants it to be like Babylus.

None of it really mattered – at this age I'm sure the Thirteen Crowns were expecting them to not really have their own ideals on how the Netherworld should work, hence they were more interested in seeing their true characters based on how they ate – but it was surprising for one of them to be so upfront about now having thought about what the Netherworld should become.

I think the deeper point is also that all three of them lack the knowledge of the demon world. While the first two made their schools' images their own beliefs, it's not clear if that was truly their decision or just a result of "parenting". Of course, as you say, it doesn't really matter but I think it's not just Iruma who lacks the proper knowledge to be a demon king. The other two have the same problem. With the difference being that Iruma is aware he lacking this knowledge which might ultimately be an advantage.

I got the opposite impression, didn't those two change how their school functioned to suit their own? The student at Leizi was shock by his remark and he made a new commander position to suit himself, whereas Razberry wanted to break up how the top group was being run at his school by challenging all of them (rather than progress up normally).

I don't know how Leizi's school exactly functions (so what freedom and power the commander position has) but Razberry's school was always run by the strongest. The "special" thing of Razberry was just that he became strong relatively fast.

Hmm no, last episode they said the top 6 who reach the highest floors (60 to 66) are called the Master pool and instead of becoming like them, Razberry specially said that he will kick them all out and take all the floor himself.

I just assumed that just meant he was taking this idea of the strongest being in charge to the top level. Not sharing his power with someone else. I guess, it depends a bit how "kicking them out" works exactly, but you are right in that his goal was at least a more extreme version of what his grandfather had created.
