Alice Asmodeus (アスモデウス・アリス Asmodeus Alice) is the deuteragonist of the series. He is a student in the Abnormal Class at Babyls Demon School as well as a friend of Iruma Suzuki, to whom he is a loyal self-proclaimed servant.
Appearance[]
Alice has a tall stature and feminine features. He has fair skin and medium-length light-pink hair. He has pointed ears, and his eyes are magenta with long eyelashes. Instead of wearing Babyls' school uniform, Alice wears a formal set of his own. He wears a black dress shirt under a white waistcoat and an elegant white overcoat with gold trim, complimenting the gold-trimmed boots and white trousers. His overall appearance has gained him the affection and admiration of numerous female students.
Personality[]
Initially, Alice was egotistical and somewhat hotheaded. To most others, Alice appears cold and blunt and does not often appear friendly to others. He takes great pride in his abilities, fire magic, and studies. The Asmodeus family butler, David, said that Alice had been unapproachable since childhood due to his intelligence and high use of magic and only recently changed to a much happier version thanks to interacting with Iruma. Since being defeated by Iruma, Alice has shed his arrogant and self-centered attitude, but still appears competitive with specific demons, such as Sabnock Sabro.
Toward Iruma, Alice is incredibly kind and loyal. He often helps Iruma better understand the ways of the netherworld and of the school. Since proclaiming himself as Iruma's servant, Alice often does what he can to make sure Iruma is cared for and happy. While he acknowledges that Iruma is still naïve about certain aspects of the netherworld, he dramatically admires Iruma's kind and generous nature. As such, Alice is very protective of Iruma and often becomes angered when he believes others are insulting or bothering Iruma.
History[]
While not much is known about Alice before the events of the main storyline, he is said to have been a highly talented demon since childhood. Because of his advanced skills in magic and his noble lineage as a member of the prestigious Asmodeus family, Alice was noted to have unfortunately been subject to other demons keeping their distance from him since he appeared more skilled and advanced than them. During the entrance ceremony at the start of the school year, Alice is revealed to be the top student of the first-year class with the highest entrance marks.
Synopsis[]
Babyls Enrollment Arc[]
On the first day of school, Alice was supposed to present a speech as the freshman representative and as the student who ranked first in the entrance examination during the morning assembly. However, Sullivan's intervention as the principal stopped Alice from making his way to the podium to have Iruma, the "honor student," give the speech instead.[2]
Later in the day, Alice confronted Iruma in the school's courtyard for "stealing" the opportunity to give the speech, leading to a duel. Alice used fire magic to strike Iruma. However, Alice's attacks were dodged by Iruma's "Overwhelming Crisis Evasion Capability." After 20 minutes of trying to land a hit against Iruma, Alice resorted to martial arts. This, too, was evaded by Iruma, leading to the attack directed at Eiko, only to be stopped by Iruma, leading to a German Suplex and knocking Alice out. After the duel, Alice once again confronted Iruma but pledged his undying loyalty to him as his servant since he was defeated by Iruma, and demon law states that the loser must serve the winner.[3]
When Alice and Iruma were on their way to get their textbooks, they ran into Valac Clara, who was playing with boxes lying around in school. When a teacher noticed them talking, he sent all three of them on their way, telling Iruma and Alice to take care of Clara. This event led to Clara inviting the duo to play with her, which was initially rejected. Alice eventually played along as Iruma was unable to turn down Clara.
On their first-class activity (flying race), Alice was the first to reach the finish line. After the class, he was given the rank of Daleth (4) by the ranking owl.
Cannonball Execution Arc[]
Alice, Clara, and Opera helped train Iruma for the Execution Cannonball, an activity in which first-year students can rank up. He commented on how Iruma can train consistently, considering that demons usually don't have the patience for such activities.
On the day of the Execution Cannonball, Alice was assigned to the red team along with Caim, Allocer, Lied, and Gaap. By being on Iruma's opposing team, Alice spent the entire match thinking of ways to help Iruma from his end. As the game proceeded, he did not notice that he and Iruma were the last players on both sides. He then considered losing on purpose. However, after seeing Iruma's determination, he decided to give it his all, eventually losing to Iruma's counterattack.
Battler Party Arc[]
During the Battler Exhibition, Alice, Clara, and Iruma joined the Magic Apparatus Battlers headed by Amy Kirio. In preparation for the Battler Party, they decided to do a firework presentation as their entry.
On the eve of the Battler Party, unknown to the group, Kirio was planning to use the fireworks they made to destroy the school and kill all of the people within it. When Kirio's plan was set into motion, Alice's thorough knowledge of the school layout and Clara's ability to summon magical paper soldiers aided in guiding Iruma to Kirio's location to confront him.
After Kirio's plan was stopped, Alice and the group proceeded to push through with their fireworks presentation for the entire school and their families to watch. During the awarding ceremony, the support they received from the students and their actions during Kirio's attack led them to receive the "Tricky Award," which allowed for one member of the Battler to receive one rank up, which was given to Iruma.
Akudol Kuromu Arc[]
Alice, Iruma, and Clara performed as the opening act during Kuromu's 24-hour live concert when Kuromu passed out in her dressing room due to Iruma's comment on her "not standing out." After Kuromu woke up, they performed a live concert with Kuromu.
Student Council Training Arc[]
Alice was temporarily assigned to the Magic Development Battlers as the Magical Apparatus Battlers were suspended due to the lack of a third-year student or at least three lower-year students with at least the rank of Daleth (4).
When Ameri was attacked, which resulted in a change in her personality, along with the sudden dissolution of election imposed by Ronove Lomiere, he and Clara conducted a successful investigation at the request of Iruma which led to exposing Eligos Schenell as the culprit of Ameri's personality change.
Royal One Acquisition Arc[]
When the Abnormal Class was trying to obtain the Royal One as their official classroom, Alice offered to provide his flame magic to the Magic Development Battlers in exchange for them to endorse the Abnormal Class' petition to the teachers involved with that Division.
Walter Park Arc[]
After the final examination, Alice and the Abnormal Class went to Walter Park during their semestral break. During their visit, Alice was grouped with Iruma, Sabro, and Agares, with their teacher, Balam Shichiro, as their entourage. While exploring and having fun at the park, the Six Fingers suddenly attacked them by summoning three beasts (Carmine Dragon, Taurus Mountain Bull, and Panther Rat) to create chaos as a diversion while breaking out Kirio from the prison below.
During the attack, he and his group fought the Carmine Dragon to save the children trapped during the initial attack. As the battle progressed, he was saved by Sabro from a direct attack from the beast they were fighting. Sabro then encouraged him to retreat, leading to Alice strengthening his resolve to become Iruma's indestructible spear.
Harvest Festival Arc[]
Upon the resumption of classes, their homeroom teacher, Kalego, informed the Abnormal Class that the Royal One requires students who are worthy of its standing, therefore, requiring all students to obtain the rank of Daleth (4) by the end of their first year.
The students were given special tutors to prepare them for the Harvest Festival, an event that allows them to raise their ranks to reach rank 4. Alice was paired with Sabro and was assigned Balam as their special tutor. During their training with Balam, they were not allowed to go home until they managed to land a hit on him.
During the four-day Harvest Festival, Alice teamed up with Sabro. Together they competed against the Doro-Doro Brothers for the most points. Initially, it was done out of spite because the Doro-Doro brothers mistakenly assumed that Alice and Sabro "stole General Furfur from them, leaving the front lines to teach at Babyls. The competition of both groups led to Alice entering his Evil Cycle to fight the Hundred Flaringo, which was aggravated by the Doro-Doro Brother's bloodline magic "Trigger." When Alice lost control of his rationality due to the Evil Cycle, he was snapped out of it by Sabro, who knows his Safe Word. Eventually, both groups came to a proper competition for points for the remaining days of the festival. On the last day of the Harvest Festival, Alice was disqualified as he protected Iruma and Clara by directly attacking Orobas Coco for his attempt at using his bloodline magic "Trauma" on his friends.
Musical Festival Arc[]
Alice was part of the Abnormal Class's musical entitled "Lilith's Red Carpet," where he was part of the dance group. The entire class was then promoted to Daleth (4) for their performance, except for him, Lied, and Iruma. Alice and Lied were already ranked 4, to begin with, and Iruma was promoted to 5.

Abilities[]
- Fire Magic: Alice is capable of wielding fire magic extraordinarily and effectively. In addition, he can use it both offensively, through fireballs or a sword made out of the flame,[4] or defensively being able to create walls of fire.[5] He also obtained the ability to create blue flames, which are assumed to be stronger than his normal flames.
- Blue Flames: Asmodeus's recent new fire magic that absorbs and consumes other flames, increasing his magic. He uses this during the Heartbreaker arc, beyond the teacher, Ifrit Djinn Eito's firepower.
- Enhanced Winged Flight: Not only is Alice capable of flight from his wings, but he can also use them competently and faster than normal flying circumstances, without even gaining a single bead of sweat.[6]
- Enhanced Strength: Alice is proficient in his strength. Despite his lean appearance, he can effectively block offensive attacks and catch large objects, such as a vending machine, by only using one arm and throwing them at ease.[7]
- Wicked Phase: Since training with Balam, he has learned to enter his Wicked Phase at will to draw out his maximum power. However, this also leads him to gain a rather sadistic personality.
- Unknown Bloodline Magic: TBA
Familiar[]
Gorgon Snake: Alice's familiar is a Gorgon Snake named Vino. It is macaroon-cream-colored with purple details on its edges. It is also a winged creature (which has claws on the tip of each side of its wings) that has a pair of massive-sized horns on its head, red scaling eyes, and two sharp pointed fangs. A raging fire burns at the tip of this familiar's big tail. It also can masterfully breathe fire.[8]
Trivia[]
- In demonology, Asmodai (also spelled as Ashmodai, Asmodeus, Asmody, and Asmoday) is a Great King of Hell, with 72 legions of demons under his command. He is depicted as a powerful figure, with three heads (a bull's, a man's, and a ram's), a serpent's tail, issuing flames from his mouth, while sitting upon an infernal dragon and holding a lance with a banner. He is also considered one of the Seven Crowned Princes of Hell, representing the Deadly Sin of Lust.
- In "You Fit Right In Now, Iruma-kun," it is revealed that he has ichthyophobia (The fear of fish).
- Asmodeus is the first demon who is seen in his wicked phase.
- A mistranslation initially labeled Lily and Viole as Alice's sisters. Though this was not the case, many fans are unaware that it was an error. The erroneous translation can still be read on many websites, but the original group later corrected the translation to "a relative's children."
- Asmodeus' name has been translated similarly by most translators (Asmodeus). The official romanization released in the character booklet that came with Chapter 185 was "Asmdeus." The virtual unpronounceable of this spelling ultimately made many questions the validity of the character booklet's romanizations.
- With Billy Kametz's death due to cancer and the announcement of season 3, Asmodeus is the first character in the series to have 2 English voice actors.
- Asmodeus shares the same English voice actors with Naofumi Iwatani of The Rising of the Shield Hero.
- Asmodeus was originally intended to have blonde hair and yellow eyes.
- Asmodeus dislikes someone not close to him who calls him by his first name, Alice. So that's why he is referred to as Asmodeus or Azz (to those close to him).
- He also hates fish and its preparations. But for Iruma's sake, he endured that aversion to prepare food for him.
