The Music Festival arc is reaching its peak, and fans are eager to see the Misfit Class finally take the stage. Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun Season 4 Episode 7 is set to release on May 16, 2026, continuing the weekly Saturday schedule the show has followed since it came back in April.
After watching other classes compete, the spotlight now turns fully to Iruma Suzuki and his classmates. Episode 6 started the actual festival performances, meaning Episode 7 will show the Misfits giving their all in front of the strict judge, Amducias. This is the moment the whole season has been working toward, and fans who have waited for the Music Festival arc to get animated are finally seeing it happen.
Crunchyroll will stream the new episode across North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, CIS, and India shortly after the Japanese broadcast.
Episode 7 Release Date and Global Streaming Times
The new episode will first air in Japan on NHK Educational at 6:25 p.m. JST on Saturday, May 16, 2026. For viewers outside Japan, Crunchyroll offers simulcast streaming with the same day release.

- Pacific Daylight Time (PDT): 2:25 a.m.
- Mountain Daylight Time (MDT): 3:25 a.m.

The show sticks to a consistent weekly pattern. Since Season 4 premiered on April 4, 2026, there have been no unexpected breaks or delays in the schedule.
The Misfit Class Finally Takes Center Stage at the Music Festival
The Music Festival arc is the biggest event of Season 4. The goal is clear: the Misfit Class (Abnormal Class) needs to win the festival so all students can raise their ranks. This is their final exam for the first year.
Episode 6, titled “The Music Festival Begins!”, aired on May 9, 2026, and kicked off the actual performances. Episode 7 will continue right where that left off. The Misfits have been practicing for weeks under the tough guidance of Kalego and Kirie from the Glamorous Witch Hunter team.
One of the biggest draws of this arc is Purson Soi. For a long time, this character was hidden because of his family’s invisibility magic. But now, he stands in the spotlight as the class’s trumpet player. His performance is expected to be one of the best parts of the episode.
“His trumpet performance becomes one of the emotional anchors of the Music Festival Arc. Watching the Misfits slowly realize how important he is honestly feels rewarding in a way few ensemble anime manage to pull off.”
Where to Watch the English Dub and Sub
Crunchyroll remains the only streaming home for Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun Season 4. The platform offers both the original Japanese audio with English subtitles and the English dub.
The English dub releases at the same time as the subbed version, which is not something every anime gets. This shows the show’s growing popularity outside Japan. For fans in the UK, Australia, India, and the rest of the world, Crunchyroll provides the fastest access to new episodes.
The season will have a total of 24 episodes, split into two consecutive cours (broadcast periods). The finale is currently expected to air around September 12, 2026.
No Production Delays or Schedule Changes
Recently, some fans worried that Episode 7 might be delayed. These concerns came from past issues with other anime shows suffering from production problems, recap episodes, or broadcast changes. However, there is no official word or evidence that Iruma-kun is facing any of those issues.
“Right now, there’s no real evidence pointing toward a real production issue… The anime has followed a steady weekly pattern without interruption.”
Bandai Namco Pictures, the studio behind the show, planned this two-cour format ahead of time. This long-term planning reduces the risk of sudden delays or a drop in animation quality.
What to Expect in Episode 7
The Misfit Class decided to perform a “Hell Dance” for the festival, combining music and dance. Iruma and Purson are in charge of the music, while the other classmates handle the dancing. In Episode 6, they watched other classes perform. Now, in Episode 7, it is finally their turn.
Expect to see:
- The full performance of the Misfit Class on stage
- Heavy focus on Purson Soi’s trumpet playing and his character growth
- The reaction of the judge Amducias
- More moments showing the bond between Iruma and his friends
The series has quietly evolved from a simple comedy into one of the most emotionally satisfying shows in recent years. Episode 7 has a good chance of being the best episode of the season so far.
