Beelzebub Jump Super Anime Tour Special The delinquents of Ishiyama High School either fear Tatsumi Oga or wish to defeat him, but the young fighter finds himself preoccupied with other matters—like tending to baby Kaiser de Emperana "Beel" Beelzebub IV, the son of the Demon Lord. Baby Beel's maid, Hildegard "Hilda," informs Oga that the infant has latched onto him due to the former's immense strength. In turn, Oga must take responsibility and raise the Demon Lord's son, or face Hilda's blade—that is, unless he can find someone stronger than him to appeal to Beel. Perhaps Oga can convince one of the Tohoshinki, composed of the four strongest fighters of Ishiyama High, to take Beel off his hands! |

I Picked Up the Demon King Tatsumi Oga, a delinquent student at the worst high school in Japan, arrives at school with a small baby who emits massive shocks of electricity whenever it cries. Oga claims he found after splitting open a strange man who came floating along the river, though his friend Takayuki Furuichi doesn't quite believe. Whilst at Takayuki's house, they are both approached by a demon woman named Hildegarde who claims the baby, known as Kaiser de Emperana Beelzebub IV, is the son of Devil King who was sent to Earth to find a human to raise him so he could destroy humanity. |

I Became a Gang Leader with a Child Hildegarde presents herself to Oga's family in the wrong way, giving them a different view of the situation. She also informs Oga that if he is more than 15 meters away from Beelzebub, his cries may destroy the city. Whilst dealing with this situation, Oga comes up with the idea that, if he can find someone more strong and ruthless than him, he can dump Beelzebub on him and be free. |

Are There Any Strong, Ruthless Bastards Around? When Oga loses some food for Beelzebub and he starts to get hungry, Oga instead uses up a vending machine's worth of yoghurt drink, revealed to be the favourite of the second year delinquent, Hajime Kanzaki. Figuring he may be worthy of dumping Beelzebub on, Oga goes to see him under the pretense of becoming his henchman. After beating his current henchman, Oga is asked by Hajime to throw him out of the window, but instead decides he isn't worthy based on Beelzebub's expression and knocks him out instead. |
