How are they supposed to make that chapter a finale? because what happens in that chapter is Tohru's dad shows up,yells a bit and leaves.I think the finale being the Iruru introduction and the battle with her,being more likely.

Note Iruru dose NOT have a conformed voice actress.
 
Iruru has been cut out of scenes she instigated in the manga, with the anime writers finding other ways to cause them. Give up on the creepy giant breasted loli showing up already.

Iruru is about Kanna's age but has a bust size equal to Lucoa.

I actually really dislike her character design too, but the reason I want her in the story is because she has a really good character arc. I think Cool ran out of interesting ways to draw characters so he/she just went with that design.

In fact, the fact that they removed her from the story actually weakened Kanna's story arc by a lot even though they expanded on it more in the anime.

It's just that she's extremely bad at transformations for herself so when she takes on a human form... you get a huge breasted loli with a lot of dragon features.

Ah was that it. I thought it was just limited to her hands.

Still, they should have included her in as she's was a bit vital to Kanna's school arc. Kanna's supposed to be this big prankster, but we don't really get much of that in the anime, and the scene in question...

Iruru tempts Kanna by suggesting that Kanna play a prank and blow up Kobayashi's workplace so that Kobayashi will pay more attention to her. However, Kanna rebukes her because she doesn't want Kobayashi to hate her. I thought this scene was pretty powerful because we know that Kanna caused so much havoc that her parents kicked her into our dimension where she was going to be a powerless little girl (until she figured out that she could just recharge via outlet). She has the temptation to fall back onto her old habits, especially in her distressed state. But in the end her love for Kobayashi and everything she's done for her wins out in the end and she leaves with an exclamation that she hates Iruru, which confuses Iruru even more and makes her even more interested in humans.

So yeah... Iruru was actually pretty important to the plot, and I don't really like how they just shafted her. I mean, you could have just changed the character design and kept Iruru and everything would have been awesome. :(

They wouldn't reveal that she had one if they were trying to keep her appearance a secret.

HOWEVER, Torou's father DOSE have confirmed voice actor-Takayuki Sugō
based on that I'd say her father is likely to make an appearance quite soon.
Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid - Wikipedia
Tohru's father (トールの父 Tōru no Chichi?)
Voiced by: Takayuki Sugō
Tohru's father. He disapproves that Tohru is staying with Kobayashi, due to their beliefs as chaos dragons and because of a non-interference rule about Earth. But when Tohru refuses to leave, he could not force her, due to her overwhelming power and accepted her choice.

I haven't read the manga, I just follow the anime, but I have to say you're the first person I've met that has good things about this Iruru person and her effects on the plot. Normally when I see her brought up it's to rage about her effects on Kobayashi and Tohru, and in the context of the speakers being outright afraid of her showing up.

Her character design's not great and some of the first things she did in the story was
turn Kobayashi into a dude so that she would sexually assault Tohru or something
and even after she "turns good" she states that
she wants to breed with Kobayashi.
Considering both her design and the tone of the anime compared to the manga, some people were understandably wary of her introduction.
 
I am really digging this anime. Seems super cute.

Though them dragons.

Probably because Iruru has one of the saddest backstories out of all the dragons, which in my opinion makes up for her more rocky introductions.

Iruru when she was a little girl loved playing with human children and loved humans. Her parents, moved by their child's enthusiasm, decided that maybe it was time to try living alongside humans. However, somehow they were betrayed by humans which resulted in her parents being killed after a huge battle. After that, she was raised by the rest of the Chaos Dragons to hate humans, but deep down inside she just wanted to live in peace too with the humans that she loves so much. This desire is notable even on her first meeting, as she's noted to be an extremist even amongst the Chaos Dragons. However, that's just her trying really hard to suppress her love for humans.

As for what she does to Tohru, nothing really. They just fight. The stuff she does to Kobayashi is to prove her assertion that all humans are evil deep down inside, because if she can get Kobayashi to sexually assault Kanna and Kobayashi then it will prove her right and give her a reason to continue hating and killing humans. Of course this doesn't work out and in the end she finally admits that she just wants to love and play with humans in peace.
 
I really hope that the bandit has the same voice actress as Kobayashi. It'd be rather appopriate give that they both had a major effect on Tohru's life.

Quick note: Episode 11 is based off of chapter 48 (which hasn't been translated yet).
 
Dub cast rounded off today with the introduction of Funimation newcomer Rachel Glass as Elma! She sounds good for what seems to be her first anime role, her range is similar to Felecia Angelle and she hits the comedic notes pretty well. I hope to see her more, she's promising.
 
and next week is last episode.... AND will probably see Torou's dad.
