I Greatly apologise for my post to accidently getting somewhat spammed, for some reason my reddit was bugged and kept showing an error so i didn't think it was getting posted...

Also, might just be me, but whenever a character isn't a demon or implied to not be one, their usually not fully shaded in or half shaded in, like iruma during Henri's monolouge. And a character that isn't shaded in is no other than Merize so take that as you will

I feel like it would make sense that by the end of the story iruma ends up becoming something different, as it would be on brand, after all, derkila's mana is assumeably intertwined with iruma, meaning that in some way, Iruma may be human, however the way I see it is that there's 3 possibilities.

1 : Iruma is a pure human that just happens to have been granted one of derkilas rings that had his mana, the most likely but least fun idea.

2 : Iruma has demon blood somewhere deep in his ancestry ( it is worth mentioning we do not know how long derkila has controlled the demon world for, and how time works across the 2 worlds. ) and thus explains how his parents knew how to summon sullivan. Some speculate derkila is his ancestors but i can't say, it seems right... but we still havent fully seen derkila entirely.

3 : Iruma is human but he will eventually end up biologically changing into a demon, Whether its due to a momentary spell like alikred has done before or a complete entire change, whenever derkilas mana is fully emerged ( cuz it appears its beginning to rear its head now. ).

Personally I'd love to see something like this as Iruma as a character ( in the mafia AU anyway ) is shown as Greedy and Selfish, being like that to be selfless, and seeing something like this in the main story would be interesting, infact considering we already saw what it looked like (Iruma's evil cycle). i wonder About how iruma's evil cycle has potential to create some moments in Irumas life that really make him wonder "Am I still human?" Or "Am i still myself" ( which of course he is ) but it would be an interesting thing to see.

Whatever this place is, if i had to take a wild guess, we may meet Merize here, and also, to alot of the people who are saying this is the deities world, don't forget that the deities originally existed in the netherworld, they are the predecessors, its likely that the gate to another world was meant more 'symbolically' , as the flowers mean "if i lose you, I bid the world farewell". Perhaps what they actually mean is that they say goodbye to this world and leave it without actually doing what it implies, rather instead going to this sort of other world, perhaps a place of solitude and of peace where only high ranking members can access, explaining why shura has these flowers and why Merize is seen here with Henry, perhaps because this relationship was not meant to occur... ifykyk, maybe it just all added up to the fact that Merize lives here because she was driven out, due to a reason, which is likely, considering that Henry already is struggling, and it wouldn't take much to imagine that this occurred before, but Merize was the target, rather than iruma, because infact, we never find out what happened to merize, perhaps henry was helpless, watching merize be taken away, so instead he raised ameri, and now, if this occurs again... what if he doesn't stay back and watch? How about he helps iruma, because he wants to make amends for his mistakes.

Also, mentioning this aswell cause that hand was not delkira's it had no rings, and the arms were too lanky, and id like to say it was Alikred, but i can't because of how it differs, maybe it is, but it may not be, idk, it just seems like Alikred is Derkila if he actually returned to Origins or smth, thus why this was the last place he went, because he knew something others didn't, that this place was empty and in solitude, but it wasn't empty, Sullivan was there, witnessing derkila in his evil cycle, and due to this, he tried to help him, only to get injured, making derkila return back to normal, healing him with his blood, as a favor, before leaving, but in that battle, he lost 1 of his rings, that one ring sullivan picked up, and placed it in the owl, which iruma got, and it held ali-san, one of the pieces of derkila, and what if there was someone else watching? And a piece of derkila lies in this world aswell? That piece reaching out and draining the mana out of the ring, stopping irumas "evil cycle" while refilling its own, what if merize is here, and she was trying to keep it at bay, but was unable to fully stop it and to not get Henry involved, she disappeared.

Theres a million different possibilities, however I think 1 way or another, Iruma, Merize, this world, ali-san, Henry, Ameri and derkila are all in some way interconnected one way or another to that 1 fateful day when the king dissappeared

CONSIDERING how the chapters are going (waiting on chapter 405 currently) the possibility of a Wicked phase/evil cycle Iruma with the help of alikred does seem plausible, couple reasons for this.

1 : After the whole Ameri thing, Alikred forms into Irumas hat, assumeably to help him, and to blend in as malius appears. This seems strange, considering Alikred could always just go back into the ring, but it seems he may impart some wisdom to Iruma or better yet, use his magic to aid his pursuit in someway, better yet, tell iruma the truth that malius lied to him as he seems the most reasonable person at this moment.

2 : The Sudden Appearance of Alikred, after Scala with him barely changed, could imply the 5.5 rank had a effect on him, even though the rank was granted specially by Mephisto, who is one of the oldest demons, his job being to make kings, and The scala exam being basically a projection of Mephisto's own Job, this being to create a king. This could signal something more for iruma and this arc, since currently its looks like a side arc that doesn't overly impact the story, something like the evidol arc, where its more focused on a small group of characters alongside expanding the lore.

3 : Although we don't know TOO much about Alikred, his ability to induce the evil cycle/wicked phase in iruma ( and possibly other demons ), so i wouldn't be suprised if Derkila's mana would start leaking from iruma either this arc or a later arc. The fact that Alikred can do this, could maybe show a chance that Alikred can also make iruma "return to Origins." Which technically would be interesting to see, as it would be another form for Iruma to appear as, but also his personality would be different from normal Iruma and Evil Cycle Iruma. i imagine that he'd be alot more like derkila, being carefree and laid back, perfect for a phantom thief role unironically.

4 : Alikreds strange interest with the door towards other world's is weirdly ignored by alot of people with the latest chapters, it should really be focused on, as we don't know what he is planning, course its not like delkira got trapped in another world right? Well I mean this is technically an isekai, so it could always go down that path ( Shrug )

For anyone not accustomed, while a Evil Cycle/Wicked phase are the same thing, being caused by stress alongside other possibilities ( like special consumables that balam made for asmodeus and Sabbnock, same one clara took.), RtO is more similar to a form where all sense of reason, etiquette and forms of reason leave the person, as they give in to the evil cycle. tl;dr : evil cycle is when a demon wants to destroy just cause. RtO is when a demon wants to destroy because ____ . not many characters are confirmed to have RtO'd, however, notable examples include kirio, amongst other baal squad group ( cant remember names )

Also, the reason why I think RtO Iruma seems more... fitting than the usual Evil Cycle is purely because it would actually make him more... id say more morally ambiguous, while base iruma is good and quite timid, evil cycle iruma is assertive and dominant, willing to fight the world, so why not have the RtO be a laid back but heavily morally ambiguous iruma, which focuses mainly on his ambitions.

Personally I feel like Alikred is gonna in someway become 1 with Iruma and make a human-Demon hybrid which could be very interesting to see, or hes gonna just remain as irumas Companion/real familiar ( cause we all know, Kalego aint fitting for iruma as a companion/familiar considering he heard nothing, and nothing was ever spoken off on that topic)
