What is The Misfit of Demon King Academy: History’s Strongest Demon King Reincarnates and Goes to School with His Descendants?
The Misfit of Demon King Academy follows Anos, the legendary Demon King of Tyranny, who reincarnates two thousand years after his own era hoping for a peaceful life. When he awakens to find magic has weakened and his descendants have lost their former glory, he enrolls in Demon King Academy to set things right. His power proves so overwhelming that it literally cannot be measured on the academy's scales, earning him the label of misfit among faculty and students alike. This action-comedy fantasy series balances high-stakes supernatural combat with humor as Anos navigates school life while keeping his true identity under wraps. The show delivers a fresh take on the overpowered protagonist trope by leaning into comedy and the absurdity of a godlike being trying to blend in with ordinary demon students.
The series aired as a thirteen-episode season during summer 2020 and has finished airing. Each episode moves briskly through Anos's encounters at the academy, where he gains an unexpected friend in Misha and gradually uncovers larger conspiracies threatening the demon realm. It's ideal for viewers who enjoy fantasy worlds with magic systems, comedic moments that puncture dramatic tension, and protagonists who solve problems through sheer overwhelming power rather than clever strategy. The complete story wraps up in a single season, making it easy to watch from start to finish without waiting for additional releases.
Anos, the Demon King of Tyranny, has defeated humans, spirits, and gods alike. But even demon kings get tired of all the fighting sometimes! Hoping for a more peaceful life, Anos decides to reincarnate himself. When he wakes two thousand years later, though, he finds the world has become too peaceful--his descendants have grown weak and magic is in serious decline. Intending to reclaim his rightful place, he enrolls in Demon King Academy, where he finds that his magical power is off the charts. Literally. And because they can't measure his power, the faculty and other students regard Anos as a misfit. With the support of Misha, the one student he manages to befriend, the misfit (Demon King) begins his climb up the demon ranks! (Source: Square Enix)
