LatestIt begins with a bunch of Ishiyama delinquents crying and mourning over the loss of Oga and Baby Beel. Their tears stop short by the river when Alaindelon cruises like a speedboat and Oga and Beel pop out of the man. At Oga's house, Hilda explains that the Great Demon Lord has no interest in destroying humanity which means the goal of raising Beel to destroy all humanity is no more. Beel and his gang will have to go home, and mass hysteria follows. Will Oga, Beel, and the gang part ways forever?
Violent delinquent Oga encounters a baby one day, which crawls onto his back and immediately forms an attachment to him. Though he doesn't know it yet, this baby is named Kaiser de Emperana Beelzebub IV, or "Baby Beel" for short—the son of the Demon Lord!

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The manga ran in Weekly Shonen Jump alongside Bleach and Naruto, but never got a second anime season despite solid ratings—blame the 2011 production schedule crunch.
Baby Beel's design deliberately subverts the 'cute mascot' trope common in shounen—he's ugly, naked, and constantly snot-crying, which somehow makes the attachment hit harder.
