As he does, Yukio dumps the secret that’s been being revealed slowly under the investigation of Lewin Light: the Illuminati and the Holy Cross Order are both guilty of harboring demons and doing horrible experiments on humans in order to perfect clone bodies for demons to inhabit. Pink-haired traitor, Shima, shows up with a helicopter to offer Yukio a spot in the Illuminati, which he accepts. Regardless, Rin and company mount a rescue that results in a confrontation between the two brothers on a snowy prison bridge. Here’s a recap of that event: Somewhere back in Chapter 95 or earlier, Yukio is arrested possibly for shooting Mephisto in the head, though, I’m not entirely sure if the “why” matters (and of course, shooting Mephisto in the head only slowed him down a little). Oh, right, that’s an important thing that happened
Specifically, we get the life story of the twins’ mother, Yuri Egin (anime-only information, but some of it is the same.) The flashback is conducted by Mephisto, who is time traveling with the blue-flame consumed Rin. As I was telling another friend, this is very disappointing because I count on past self me to remember plot points for present day me.īear with me as I attempt to reconstruct the important bits that future me will one day rely on….Ī lot of what is contained in these chapters is a flashback to the birth of our heroes, Rin and Yukio Okumaru. I was disappointed to discover that the last time I reviewed this manga was several chapters back. Prompted by a friend, I decided to catch up on Ao no Exorcist / Blue Exorcist.
