Yeah, I don't think Yukio shot him but his angst is still annoying af 

 

Sometime soon, I think I'll reread Ao no Exorcist from the beginning in order to 1) maybe regain the hype I had for it by reading the chapters in bulk and 2) try to find out what the hell has been going on since the Impure King arc.

 

I've read my fair share of monthly manga, but I've never struggled this much in keeping track of what's going on. I vaguely remember the zombie arc and then the mini arc with Shura? Is that all that's happened since?

Even if he didn't shoot, the fact he had his his gun out ready to shoot when not in combat makes the difference.

Zombie arc was important cause of back stories and hidden allegiance. I don't recall any major epic moments, which is strange

There was a recent arc with Shugo and Lighting exploring the origin of Father Fumio, current Paladin, Mephisto, and other demon kings.

I wouldn't call it a lack of events, but rather event plot development take part during slights of life moments

Wow, so Yukio's powers aren't coming from his heritage but something else? Or is Mephisto just fuckin with him? I'm so confused lol. If they're not from Satan, where the hell are they from?

Mother?

Chapter 95

 

I actually read this a few days ago when it came out but forgot to post something about it. Not much happened. It's confirmed through Shura that Yukio did not shoot Mephisto so there's someone else who did so in order to open the artificial Gehenna gate. When was the last time we saw Amamon(?), his brother? Or what's Lucifer up to?

 

Yukio is still silent and brooding, but maybe Rin can get some answers out of him.

 

Random thought but since in the world of Ao no Exorcist demons exist, do you think we'll get to see angels come to play? I mean, in the Bible, Lucifer is a fallen angel so there is context to bring in angels. Also, with the mystery surrounding Rin and Yukio' s birth in addition to Yukio's powers, maybe their mother was an angel/descendant of angels or something. So the union between Satan and an angel made them into a weird, supernatural hybrid with each twin getting a separate aspect of the parents' supernatural power?

I say no.

 

Remember we are presented with 2 worlds: Human and Gehenna.

Where would Angels reside if not Gehenna? it gave impression of Satan as ultimate being of Gehenna.

 

Angels tend to exist if Demons are presented as ultimate evil to be ultimate "good".

However, Demons are not presented as ultimate evil, but rather beings from a different world, and not implied to have an opposite. 

 

Beside, we already seen a few demons that are based on angels.

Spoiler

It's getting harder and harder to like Yukio, not that I ever liked him  much   

But his eye power seem cool.

Also, I understand that Shima is supposed to be a double spy but even I can't tell where his allegiance truly lies. With Rin's sword broken, I wonder what they'll use to seal Rin's power or will he remain in his demon state forever.

Is it really Eye Power?

 

Seem like Satan is able to borrow his body, but Yukio has control over said body.

Chapter 99

 

Overall, I feel like this manga is just a bunch of build up resulting in disappointing resolutions which is sad because it was  a really good read in the beginning 

 

Since next chapter is the big 100, I'm looking forward to any revelations that will be made surrounding Rin and Yukio's birth.

Chapter 100

 

This was a surprisingly good chapter 

 

Very interested in learning more about the birth behind Rin and Yukio. The twins' mom is cute and young Fujimoto is quite something.

[Fenrix]

Chapter 101

 

Hmm, I forgot that it was mentioned that Father Fujimoto was experimented on as a host for a demon king. He was quite the feisty one when younger 

 

I've also forgotten the extent of which we know the relationship between Fujimoto and the twins' mother. Was it ever mention how high in the ranks she was? Do you think Fjuimoto came to love her and that's part of the reason why he adopted her sons?

Naw i dont think we knew anything about the mother at all. This is the first time we’re gettin any information about her

Chapter 102

 

Lol, sometimes I forget I read this. 

[Fenrix]

Chapter 105

 

Y'know, this flashback arc isn't that bad. I enjoy learning about the events that lead up to Rin and Yuki's birth. Fujimoto use to house Satan inside of him, right? I think Fujimoto and Yuri did end up getting together but maybe while Satan possessed Shiro's body. 

[PunkHazard]

Yea i agree. It actually hit me about how little we knew about Rins heritage. Its interesting

[PunkHazard]

Wait can someone please explain why pheles and amon dont have problems with their host bodies but satan and lucifer does? Have they already explained that and maybe i just don’t remember?

They do

Mephisto is master of time, so using time magic to slow down the decay. But it does affect him. While he was sealing up the gate, the strain increased the decay on him (thus him saying he making sacrificesure too)

Amon actually did lose his body. However was lucky enough to return via replacement body. This gave hope this project may work for Lucifier

oooh ok that makes sense. Thanx

While we’re on the subject is there a real need for them to come to this world in the firts place? Why couldnt they jus live in ghana?

BTW. Want to mention when he was shot, the decay affected him a lot more.

Simply because they like it here, having a body, ego and such.
Now they had it, they don't want to go back to before without it.

[Fenrix]

These past few chapters have been amazing. I hope the anime comes back eventually so that we can see this flashback animated.
