Full Synopsis & Narrative BreakdownRead story
Ishiyama High School harbors the most violent delinquents in Japan, and none commands more dread than first-year brute Tatsumi Oga, known throughout the district as the Rampaging Ogre. While beating rival thugs along a riverbank, Oga retrieves an oversized man drifting downstream. The man splits open to reveal a green-haired baby who immediately latches onto Oga. The infant is Kaiser de Emperana Beelzebub IV, the youngest son of the Great Demon Lord, dispatched to Earth to eradicate mankind once he finds an adoptive human parent sufficiently cruel, sadistic, and strong enough to nurture his demonic impulses.
Bound by a demonic contract, Oga suffers lethal electric shocks whenever separated from Baby Beel by more than fifteen meters. Accompanied by the demon wet-nurse Hildegard and his long-suffering best friend Takayuki Furuichi, Oga seeks an opponent wicked enough to pass the toddler off to. This search triggers brutal street brawls against the Tohoshinki—Ishiyama High's four ruling warlords, Hajime Kanzaki, Hidetora Tojo, Aoi Kunieda, and Tatsuya Himekawa—before escalating into high-stakes combat against rogue royal demons from the 34th Division of the Pillar Squads.
What to Expect
Beelzebub pairs unhinged delinquent gang warfare with slapstick parenting comedy and escalating demonic energy systems. Combat begins as raw street brawling, relying on brass knuckles, blunt weapons, and heavy impact choreography. As Oga forms a deeper bond with Baby Beel, the series introduces the Zebub Spell, Super Milk Time, and Demon Energy manipulation, enabling Oga to channel high-voltage demonic power directly into physical strikes against elite supernatural combatants.

Frequently Asked Questions3 Answers
How does the demonic contract between Oga and Baby Beel work?
Baby Beel chooses Oga because of his cruelty, forming an involuntary contract that imprints the Zebub Spell crest on Oga's hand. If Oga strays farther than fifteen meters, Baby Beel's crying channels lethal electric shocks into him. Defeating strong opponents expands the crest, allowing Oga to harness demonic strength.
Where does the anime end and which manga chapter continues the story?
Start reading at Chapter 121 to continue directly after the 60-episode anime adaptation by Pierrot+. While the television anime wrapped up with an anime-original confrontation around Chapter 120, the manga expands into major unadapted storylines, including the Saint Ishiyama clashes, the Demon Academy invasion, and the ultimate Enma conflicts.
Is the Beelzebub manga completed, and how many chapters exist?
Yes, the serialization concluded with Chapter 246 collected in 28 volumes by Shueisha. GalaxyManga hosts 244 catalog chapter entries, encompassing the full main serialization run from the pilot through the final graduation battles and side story omake releases.
