Episode 23 of Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun Season 4 centers on Sabro turning down Baal's offer to back him as a candidate for demon king. Sabro's refusal rests on his rivalry with Iruma rather than on ambition, and Baal reads the choice as a weakness, answering with a jab about the apple not falling far from the tree. The Six Fingers hold an in with the Thirteen Crowns.
Baal's offer to put Sabro forward as a candidate for demon king is the episode's hinge. Sabro says no. The reason is Iruma: four seasons of rivalry have pushed him toward proving his own worth rather than accepting a leg up, and the episode reads his path as one he wants to earn. Baal does not take it well. His remark about the apple and the tree suggests he thought his nephew would be more vicious and more keen, and that moral objections to his help are undemonly. The Six Fingers, meanwhile, have an in with the Thirteen Crowns.
