Yuri's relationship with Satan this season has been kind of a highlight in these recent episodes. This one gave me an unique impression on them.

About time they're also dealing with the problem related to the experiments. That was wrong on so many levels.

Holy fuck man. The way everything just connected so seamlessly, genius man. The way everything just came back from season one and two, from the sword, Bon's dad, and ofc, the blue night being Rin himself.

It was actually Rin, not Satan causing chaos, but infant Rin going on a full-blown rampage, attacking anything even slightly threatening to him. Poor Yuri had to deal with all of that alone, thanks to the Cradle Barrier. And The Order really did that to a baby, like, ofc he went berserk. If someone had been there to help him, he wouldn’t have been so scared. He panicked and attacked, just like anyone would. Somehow, the rest of that night is only going to prove even more how amazing a mother she was

Amazing episode, I don't know what to say. I'm so excited to see where this goes from here.

This gotta be the highlight of this anime, and it's hidden in season 5. It's not exactly a "rewarding experience" for those who watch it til this point, it's just the truth, take it or leave it.

That was really damn good and connected well to the earlier events of the series and what it established, this entire arc has been leagues beyond what's happened in earlier seasons and even though the production and adaptation aren't world-class, at least the anime this time around hasn't butchered this compared to previous times. Seeing Rin in despair with what he caused as a baby and the pain Yuri and Satan went through with their relationship was quite a lot to behold.

Wow! What do you do when you realize the worst fears you had about your own origins are true? Well, Mephisto's demonic nature has never been clearer, he just chucked Rin out the door like a sack of trash with no sympathy at all. LOL
And it still isn't over yet.

This backstory segment was pretty nice and all by itself, but unfortunately it’s not saving grace for me as whatever emotional investment I had with the series in general has all but petered out.

Back then I used to see AoEx as a decent Shōnen which was hard carried by Rin being a far above average protagonist, but nowadays the show just hits different. Rin and Yuri deserved a normal and happy family life

Not a fan of using the word "peak" but...
this is PEAK shounen right here.
I will certainly lose it if I witnessed myself being born, imagine witnessing myself committing a mass murder on top of that.
I always commended this show for not having over dramatic characters (except Yukio), but Rin has every right to go full emo from now on.

@AhmedJafar1 Not a fan of using it either, but yeah I think it fits here lol the usual "peak" anime that most people never shut up about haven't really caught my eye quite like this. Now that I think about it's been a while since something has caught my interest like this show... Man it's gonna hurt when the season ends :(

Don't f*** with Satan.
Why did Yuri do that in the first place? because he was such a caring boyfriend.

Since the restart the show became mentally disturbing if nothing else,
for my part I must say that the giving birth scene was too much.

A very personal and unpopular opinion: Yuri fell off as a character for me. I get being kind to everyone and all, but come on—things went completely crazy, and tons of people are literally dying because she wanted to be nice to Satan. Give me a break.

On another note, I really hope this isn't all there is to the Blue Night. It would feel like too little for what's supposed to be the most mysterious event in this anime.

So Rin HAS killed people, huh? I wasn't expecting that, even if he was a 10 seconds old baby lol

You know what's crazy? That everything Yukio has done so far has been to find the truth about him and Rin, and now that the truth has been revelated, it was Rin the one to see it.
Why not Yukio? Mephisto could have taken Yukio with him, or make both brothers see this together.

I feel sorry for Yuri, but at the same time I wonder how you could be so stupid to let yourself be fucked by Satan, who was so damn dangerous and unstable.
Where is any sense of self-preservation and logic? He was dying anyway, but who would want to have a child with him?She didn't even love him, she ran away with him out of pity and the desire to save people
I thought this pregnancy storyline would be more logical.
Maybe she suffered from Stockholm syndrome?

Yes, I was surprised when they were all acting like
"Oh by the way I became pregnant"

I don't want to see how she was doing it with crazy Satan, but they should have at least shown why.

@Fabienne Yes, I'm waiting for some explanation because it doesn't make any sense. Yuri was portrayed as too good with an "I will save everyone" complex, but also intelligent. I don't want to believe that she allowed herself to have children out of pity for Satan, because then she will turn into the stupidest heroine in this series. Rin and Yukio had to be born somehow, but it could have been presented more logically without destroying Yuri's character.

@Jollyne7

It could have helped to make Satan slightly likeable, but he was just a dirtbag,
no one in their right mind would take such a well let's be honest, he is a monster.

maybe we should assume that he raped her, but that doesn't match to the kitchen scene in the beginning.

On the other she practically raised him, su uhm... eww it's not good.
They found no good way to have Yuri pregnant with Satan kids and so just skipped the part
.
I certainly won't rewatch the episode, since I found it a bit disturbing.

@Fabienne Yeah, I used to think she got pregnant because Satan raped her but she decided to give birth OR Satan was a cool demon that she fell in love with and then he went crazy. And here from the beginning he was very dangerous, unpredictable and his mood changed all the time. He really wasn't father material. Her reaction when they took him away showed that she was worried about him. Damn, I'd like to call it Stockholm syndrome, but Yuri made her own decisions from the very beginning.I'd like them to explain it, but I don't think there will be too many episodes with memories and they'll probably leave it unexplained anyway.

It is now an undeniable truth: this sixth episode drives the final nail into the coffin of its predecessors, eclipsing them beneath its harrowing brilliance. This fifth season has ascended to stratospheric heights, and never before has an episode reached such a pinnacle of intensity.

Everything collapses, everything intertwines, constructing an unrelenting tragedy where no one is spared. There is no refuge, no salvation, save in Our Lord Jesus Christ. Mephisto, that cunning manipulator, spoke no falsehoods: this is nothing but an abyss of despair.

The Blue Night remains the greatest calamity to ever befall the Blue Exorcist universe, and at its heart lies a single woman, led astray by the Deceiver himself. The most malevolent of beings, the embodiment of wickedness, corrupted a soul destined for joy and condemned her to ruin. Had Shiro found the strength to confess his love, perhaps fate would not have been so cruel…

As powerless witnesses, we are forced to endure the torment of this accursed birth, watching as a once-radiant spirit is consumed by anguish. But we are not alone in our suffering. Rin, too, stands before this revelation, confronted with the bloodstained past he had so feared, the inescapable weight of his existence. He watches, he understands, yet he can do nothing but bear witness to the horror unfolding before him.

This was never meant for Yukio’s eyes. Such knowledge would have only devoured his mind. To move forward, Rin had to confront the past and its wreckage. He is a demon, the very son of Satan. He can no longer deny this truth. And perhaps, in the depths of his soul, a terrible thought takes root: he was never meant to be born. His existence has brought only ruin and sorrow, and the cries of his mother still echo as a haunting testament to this tragic inevitability.

And yet, if all of this has come to pass, it is for a reason greater than any of us can grasp. Mephisto cannot be trusted, but it may be that the offspring of Satan is the one fated to bring about his downfall. The tragedy has only begun. More lives will be lost before the end. Brace yourselves for the coming storm.

May the Lord watch over you. Amen.

What bothers me about the whole setup with Yuri's pregnancy and the Order is why wait until the spawn of Satan is born to finish it off? There were ways to prevent it from being born in the first place.

First, they said they couldn't give her a shot of anything because of the Cradle Barrier, okay, but hey, this ain't the Dark Ages, the good old oral tablet form exists for both painkillers and abortion drugs, there is a rather widely used variety that induces a miscarriage by triggering wild contractions of the uterus which then forcefully ejects the fetus. A non-forced taking of a pill wouldn't count as inflicting harm on the mother's body, would it? She wouldn't even need to know about it if the drug was mixed into her food or drink - and you can't tell me she subsisted the whole 9 months on nothing but air. They fed her all that time, y'know. So the second way of getting rid of the spawn would be this: just stop giving her food. That simple, and in the matter of days the problem would be gone. Yes, it's inhumane and cruel but, uh, considering the circumstances - first, the fact that to the top brass Yuri was a nobody with next to no value, second, the well-being of one vs well-being of the whole world kind of situation, and finally third, the fact that by that point of time the Order had already nonchalantly crippled, maimed and taken the lives of hundreds of clones - I fail to see any valid reason to persistently keep her alive or why they even would be squeamish or hesitating about starving one (treacherous to the humankind) woman to death. Plotholes? Yup, plotholes.

Another thing I want to mention is that for a time, when we were let in on the first moniker of Satan and the way Yuri called Shiro (Rin is obviously derived from Rinka and Yukio from yuki-otoko), I had this wild suspicion that maybe the twins had different fathers... but eventually had to perish the thought because that would require Yuri to two-time in nearly the same night which no modern shounen censorship would pass.

I don't think that has anything to do with his nature. It's not the Mephisto of the present but the Mephisto of the past in that scene - the same one who has to deal with the huge bloody mess the infant Rin has just caused and the same one who is about to go out there, confront said infant, seal his demonic heart in Koumaken and afterwards hide him. So of course he has his hands full as full gets at that moment with absolutely no time to spare for anything else. In fact, I think he was being almost uncharacteristically nice by nevertheless making time for the despairing Rin of the present and helping him by getting his demonic heart under control for him and curbing his evil berserk mode.

StallionXD said:
Why not Yukio? Mephisto could have taken Yukio with him, or make both brothers see this together.
He did say in episode 1 that he had already tried telling Yukio the truth countless times. I take it, as the true King of Time he's obviously sifting through timelines looking for a scenario that doesn't end with the world and humanity going up in literal flames, and from his statement it's clear that telling Yukio the truth had never resulted in anything getting better across multiple timelines, probably only making it worse, hence why he refused and did so in that particularly callous and intentionally unsympathizing form (probably to make Yukio separate from Rin so that Rin would have no choice but confront the past). Yukio, of course, doesn't know any of this and in the state he was in it was an exceptionally hard blow for him, the literal last nail in the coffin. I felt for him in that scene even if I don't particularly like him.

Afair, there was a mention of some deal during the Yukio parting scene, Satan said something along the lines of 'after all, that was the deal' about his designs on Rin's body. So yeah, there must be something more which has yet to be revealed to us.

@loveunique Satan was dying anyway. Yuri wanted to stay with him until his death out of pity and the desire to save people. Fuck*** him was totally inappropriate, illogical and stupid. It's as if she had a child with a psychopath and thought everything would be ok. She could have easily been with him without any sexual relations, and meanwhile she allowed the strongest and most unstable entity in the series, enemy of humanity to bang her. bruh,

@dayooooon Having to watch Rin watching his childbirth and immediately being possessed by Satan and killing all those exorcist was very disturbing, especially considering the impact it had on adult Rin... I knew Mephisto said it from the beginning, but I didn't expect it to be so dark and tragic
