Amaimon and that bath scene was comedy gold LOL

Not sure how I feel about Shimei's character arc at this rate. It feels like she's getting way more on screen time about her feelings. On the other hand, I'm entertained by Lightning's presence this season. He hasn't been on this show too long but already has a very dynamic personality.

Yeah, the way Lightning is going about dealing with all of this isn't, well, the best lmao. But it's definitely not the worst. We saw what the worst is, with that reaper of death of whatever. Crazy to think how in we're three/four seasons in and we're not even a year into the story. Like, I would've expected that it's bene years since Shirou had died, come to find it out, it hasn't even been a full year.... lol.

Episode was a nice change of pace from what we're usually given with Rin and such. Actually following a side character, and the main character only showing up once, barley at that. Was actually pretty interesting, with the whole thing with the demon kings and Lucifer and such. We knew this world wasn't all sunshine and rainbows, the way they treated Rin back in season one when he was found out to be the Satan's son, but to know it was THIS cruel... yikes. Lucifer is a mad man that we hadn't even knew much about, but to think HE was the reason the knight's cross whatever came to be...

.... BUT THAT IT WAS BECAUSE OF HIM THAT SATAN EVEN APPEARED IN THE FIRST PLACE???? HOLY FUCKKKKKK. What a fucking reveal that was man. As I said a couple episodes ago, the story this season has been the best part about it so far, that I don't even care about the animation or chubby CDs anymore. For once, I'm actually excited to see the next episode of this... crazy.

Important episode like this should go slow, not fast. But I'll forgive that because Ryuji and Lightning are naked in the same bathtub.

Right!! Haha, same exact thoughts. “It’s only been a year??? And we were watching the first season 13 years ago!!” Lol! AND I’m excited for the next episode/continuing story? What kind of crazy world has this become😂
Blue Exorcist has always been such a mediocre blob, I rarely have ever cared about what actually happens lmao, just one of those shows I’ll always tune in for because Why Not

“Lucifer’s material body couldn’t last even ten years”

1 minute later: “100 years ago” (meaning he’s still in his original body)

Ehm… What?

He always looks the same in his bodies but he does change every 10 years.

I am Romanian and I was surprised to see a Romanian scientist reference in this episode (Nicolae Eminescu/Nicolae Drac Drăgulescu):

The clone research did not go as well as they thought, because there was a traitor in the Order. Rin and Yukio are both amazing.

Well, that was one helluvan info dump! It answered questions, while creating others.

I'm curious as to whay Lightning is going to say next week. The man has no filter. 'Hey, did you know you were a clone for Lucifer? No? ok gotta go. Nice chat?'

Lightning mentioned that Shiro Fujimoto came from Asylum so does that mean he was a cloned vessel too? At one point while he's reading the documents (timestamp 13:07) the name "Shiro" is visible. This episode brought forth some interesting revelations

Mephisto unraveling a little, the past and the blue night, as well as Lucifer's plans, etc.

All this investigation stuff is really boring, ngl.

I don't care about what Shiemi says, she is becoming an exorcist just because everyone else is doing it, it's obvious.

How long until we get a good episode again? lol
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~
Btw, cry about it.

It was about time to get a proper lore dump, considering we may not get another season of this in 5-10 years from what I understand. But..


Let me get this straight, the Demon Kings die quickly but still happen to be born again after some time passes? And Lucifer doesn't want to go through this process because being depraved from a physical body even only for a period of time is too painful to him?

@Meritas Next season comes in January next year.

There is more lore coming, about the blue night and other things, the investigation has just started. Kazue Kato has done a good job building up the lore, I hope the anime doesn't screw up her work.

What a privilege it is to live in an era so generous to Blue Exorcist fans! We are blessed with the rare opportunity to enjoy these long-awaited new seasons, much to our delight. While the animation might feel slightly outdated, we must commend Voln Studio for finally delivering, after so many years, the continuation of our brave exorcists' journey.

That said, this arc is undeniably a double-edged sword. For some, it may stand as one of the most captivating chapters, enriching their immersion in the series. For others, if its storyline fails to resonate, it might be wiser to step away now.

As for me, as I mentioned last week, hindsight has allowed me to recognize this arc as one of the most significant and unforgettable in the series. It sheds light with remarkable precision on the intricate stakes of this universe, perfectly demonstrated by this outstanding episode. The dark ambitions of both factions are masterfully unveiled, in what I consider a meticulous and well-executed adaptation. Kudos to the staff for delivering weekly episodes that continuously outdo themselves.

At last, we are nearing one of the series' most iconic moments—the one that will forever define Rin’s path. Hold on tight, for this pivotal chapter might just redefine your perspective on this incredible saga.
