The Misfit of Demon King Academy season 2 episode 5: Release date, where to watch, what to expect, and more

The previous episode of The Misfit of Demon King Academy season 2 shook the fandom by revealing Misa as the chosen “God’s Child” destined to kill Demon King Anos Voldigoad. More shocking to fans was Misa turning out to be the infamous Avos Dilhevia, the fictional Demon King who worked in the shadows against Anos.

Given Avos was a scapegoat created by Kanon to save the real Demon King of Tyranny from humanity’s resentment, Anos revealed that the rumors and legend of the fictional Demon King gave birth to Misa’s existence. All of his generals have accepted Avos/Misa as their true leader, putting Anos at a greater disadvantage.

Misa’s true purpose and the reason behind her aversion towards the latter are yet to be disclosed. Fans are eagerly waiting for the upcoming installment to see what major steps Anos will take to ensure the safety of Dilhade and regain his position as the rightful Demon King of Tyranny.

A brief recap of The Misfit of Demon King Academy season 2 episode 4

After instructing Meleheyth to renounce Avos as the false Demon King, Anos headed to Aniunien with the others to begin the first trial, The Staircases of Geunier. In this luck-based trial, only four participants could meet the Spirit King. Hence, the probability of Anos picking the right door should be higher.

Anos transformed all his abettors into himself and told Aniunien that he would reveal everyone’s original form once the doors opened. He, Lay, and Misa were the only three who found the actual stairs leading to the Spirit King. Leena reunited with Anos after discovering a secret passage somewhere around her door.

On their way to the Spirit King, Anos and Leena encountered Jiste. Since it was confusing for Leena, Anos explained that the Curse King had a split personality, where the main one was Kaihilam, and the other was his lover Jiste. Lay and Misa had an audience with the Spirit King. However, Lay had to defeat his helmet using only his body and spirit to speak with the Spirit King.

With the help of Misa in her true form, Lay managed to rupture Spirit King’s helmet. In the blink of an eye, the Spirit King pierced his sword through Misa, going against his rules. Working alongside Eges, Anos passed the Shadow Wolf Geunier trial. During one of the Spirit Trials, Gilysiris and Anos had combat. Despite using Mana twice as much, the latter lost to the former’s advanced skills.

In Dilhade, the Spirit King, who turned out to be Avos Dilhevia, took the throne of the Demon King of Tyranny and made the Seven Ancients his followers. Anos met Avos and uncloaked him as Misa Iliorogue.
