Lilith’s Carpet Theory
I don’t know how many people realized this, and I might be misinterpreting it, but I just realized, that this musical is telling Iruma’s rank progression
Alef (Naivete - Unfamiliarity): New to this world, still unfamiliar with everything
Bet (Seduction - Desire): He desires something better for himself and is rewarded for it (Dodgeball)
Gimel (Seduction - Desire): He desires to save everyone and is rewarded for taking action (Getting the Tricky Award)
Daleth (Loyalty - Devotion): His time and devotion to learning Magic from his teachers pays off (Kwan Kwan & Qwartz Qwartz) as well as the time he devoted to making friends ultimately helped him to get the necessary parts for the magical leaf to bloom.
He (Aspiration - Inspiration): He aspires something for himself yes, but his talks with Purson is what sealed this rank up for him. He inspired someone to wish for something better
>!Vav (Knowledge - Wisdom): His test was to teach a demon what it means to be king and is rewarded for successfully doing so!<
>!With what’s happening rn in the manga, I’m guessing he’s about to rank up soon again since!<
>!Zayin (Independence - Dependence): He’s always been an independent kind of guy and struggles with depending on others to help him, this is the first time he’s ever asked something to this scale from his friends, to find him and help him come back to the demon world because he’s unable to do so by himself Properly learning what it means to depend on others!<
Here’s my other theories for the rest of Iruma’s growth
Chet (Greed - Selfishness): A selfless boy learning selfishness for the first time and wanting a better future, taking it from those that wish to take it from him
Tet (Contentment - Discontentment): He’ll learn of the darker side of the demon world and finally learn how naive he is, wanting their world to become better
Yodh (The unseen - The seen & Godhood - Humanity): A meeting with the hidden king of demons,Derkila, that will symbolize the completion of his journey. He’ll also decide to not take complete control of the demon world so everyone can keep their individuality.
I have to give it another pass to confirm properly, but I just thought of this recently and I can’t get it out of my mind so I’mma share it to get people’s opinions
