With its offbeat premise and characters, The Devil Is A Part-Timer was a reverse isekai that instantly made waves among fans, especially for its impeccable comic timing. However, as is the case with most anime out there, the show failed to get a second season, leaving fans wanting for more.
Seeing how there is no news about the show’s second season, it would be safe to assume there won’t be one in the near future. However, fans will be pleased to know that the source of the anime (its light novels and manga) actually answer many unresolved questions about the show’s plot and its characters.
10 Satan Wasn’t Born A Demon Lord, But A Low-Class Goblin
This came as a huge shock to many readers since most assumed the position of the Demon Lord was something that was given to the most powerful demon in hell. However, that wasn’t the case.
Satan belonged to a low-class goblin tribe, and he worked his way up the ranks through sheer dedication and hard work. Eventually, he came strong enough to unite all the demon factions together, thus making him the next natural Demon Lord.
9 His Image Among His People Was The Opposite Of Who He Truly Was
Expectedly, the title of Satan came with responsibilities and fame – often not of the right kind. By default, all of Satan’s subjects believed him to be a cruel and merciless sadist, when the truth was quite the opposite.
Satan was actually a gentle leader who always put the welfare of his people first. The best example of this was him always ensuring every war had the least possible casualties as possible.
8 Emilia Believes Her Father To Be Dead, But He Is Alive
After the Church learned of her lineage, Emilia was taken by them. She had no contact with her father, whose name was Hiroshi Satou.
Soon after, she learned that Lucifer had raided her village in the Western Continent and that he had left nothing behind. She assumed her father had died in the carnage, and that is when she swore revenge against Satan. However, it is later revealed that her mother had actually hidden him away for his own safety.
7 As A Demon, Alciel Was A Speciest – He Believed The Demons Were Superior To Humankind
Thanks to his high ranking in the demon world, Alciel assumed great importance for himself and his kind. He looked down upon humans, believing them to be an entirely expendable species.
He believed demons to be superior to humans, and his rage at learning humans defying demon attacks, was proof of his bloated ego.
6 He Was Promoted As The Devil’s Right-Hand Man Because Of His Hard Work
Before working as Satan’s General, Alciel used to lead a famous demon clan named Iron Scorpions. He prided himself in his people’s telekinesis magic, as well as their ability to destroy their enemies.
However, after he challenged Satan in a duel and lost to him, he started looking up to him. His entire clan joined Satan’s army and after consistently proving his mettle, Alciel was promoted to be by Satan’s side.
5 Suzuno Sticks With Her Beliefs Due To The Strong Influence Of The Church
Ever since she worked as the Church’s personal assassin, Suzuno believed completely in their ideology, as well as their political views. After meeting human Satan and his friends, she distanced herself from the Church and started thinking for her own.
Despite that, she still believed war and bloodshed were often unavoidable, showing how she viewed things from a political angle, rather than a moral one.
4 Episode 6 From The Anime Isn’t A Canon Episode
Neither the manga nor the light novels ever mention Lucifer sending Satan and his team on a trip to Chiho’s school as he believed a specific spot there to be surging with magic.
However, the truth was that the entire gang was sent on a wild goose chase because what Lucifer truly wanted was for them to find his console inside the school, and return it to him.
3 Initially, Most Demons Did Not Treat Lucifer As Their Own Because Of His Celestial Origins
This is where the anime sticks with Biblical mythology. Lucifer gave up being an angel and went to the demon realm because he was bored of his life.
However, despite all his power and might, none of the demons truly considered him as their own. This was only because Lucifer once used to be an angel, but after he helped Satan combine all factions of demons under one flag, everything was forgiven.
2 Emi Yusa Also Fought Lucifer On Ente Isla, Something The Anime Didn’t Cover
Episode one of the anime famously covered the fight between Emila, Satan, and Alciel. However, before she fought them, she fought Lucifer on her own home turf – the Western Continent.
As soon as she learned of Lucifer’s destruction of her hometown, she gathered a small army of humans and pushed Lucifer and his minions back, partly thanks to the Sacred Sword she wielded.
1 Satan’s True Intentions Were To “Conquer” Humans To Harvest Their Negative Emotions
Essentially, Satan was put in the spot when he was forced to choose between humans or his own kind. All he wanted was for humans to produce enough negative emotions so that demons could consume those demonic energies.
However, when he said “conquer,” his minions misunderstood his intentions and went on a bloody rampage against humans, brutally slaughtering thousands of them.
