Ao no Exorcist by Katou Kazue

[phio_chan]

I don't think his students can do much for him. His biggest problem is that he's afraid of his own powers, and that's something he will have to solve himself.

I agree. Yukio loved and hated Rin for being who he is, loved and hated himself because he had to compromise with Rin's situation, and with that incident he began to doubt himself even more, I think.

What actually happened to Yukio and the mystery of why Mephisto did all of these things are two main questions I have in my head right now.

Chapter 43 came out a couple of days ago. I think all the seven mysteries were just Mephisto's pranks gone rogue.

This post has been edited to match the first post of a chapter discussion thread.

[phio_chan]

Sorry for the late thread creation.

Anyway, yeah, it's strange. Looks like it's indeed just Mephisto's pranks. But still a good idea that it can bring the team closer.

I wonder why Yukio was absent on the last battle.

[earthforge]

Yukio was absent because he was invited to speak at the Vatican regarding Toudou. So that was expected.

Koneko finally showed his usefulness - team leader and manager. He got everyone down in seconds and proceeded to develop a strategy.

Those portrait demons are nasty ones though - one of them was following Godai'in previously. Yikes.

Mephisto's musings. Everything seems emotionally heavy when you've no clue what they're saying, though it looks like Yukio got a little peace of mind. Poor Amaimon, first he was imprisoned in a cuckoo clock, now he's been impaled by several pikes in Mephisto's space-time tunnel thingy.

[kuroSaki_Ichi]

I think this leaves a lot more questions than answered for sure. Mephisto is clearly planning to use the Rin and Yukio for something and I felt bad for Yukio tbh. Like he said "Why is he keeping us alive?" is the big question here. I feel like Yukio's going to turn to a demon soon :/

[candy]

ahhhhhh!!!! such a good chapter!!! mephisto's so conniving!!i love it! his ability reminds me a little of road kamelot's from DGM, especially when amaimon was spiked like that. yukio definitely needs to take a chill pill. maybe take a walk through a relaxing nature trail, have a picnic, and go swimming (that's what i do when i'm stressed) and just let his mind be at ease. "why let us live at all" is very similar to the question "what is the meaning of life" which at one point everybody asks themselves (according to Hamlet fans). is kato going all philosophical on us or is my AP english class getting to me? either way i feel as though mephisto's monologue holds some very important points about the nature of human beings and the fact that he made no real distinction between the evils committed by a demon and the evils committed by a human. very clever way of putting this idea into the manga, loved the speech and definitely didn't see it coming. i'm loving how much panel time (<-screen time? ha? ) mephisto is getting these last few chapters, it really brings back that darker and underlying threat to ANE. getting back to the contents of the chapter itself, yukio, it seems, will join the demons and rin will fight with the humans. well that's what i think anyway... nothing is really set in stone since mephisto didn't say so for a fact. can't wait for the next chapter!!!

Quoting the previous replies relating to the chapter from the chapter 43 thread:

Mephisto has been consistently warning us to not view things in terms of humans versus demons. It's part of the problem why Yukio is in total psychological distress right now. He is still freaked the hell out by what he is. He's not a clearcut demon like Rin -- but neither is he exactly human. He feels also that if he is more demonic, he'll be like as Toudou predicted. So now everyone's upping the stakes on what he is.

For now, I think it's likely he gets obsessive on dividing human versus demon. But when Yukio next gets tortured by Toudou, I think Yukio will break and join the Illuminati.

I doubt the Morinas contract demon can defeat Satan's power. If it really was strong, why wasn't Rin bound to the contract earlier?

[shukketsumaru]

I doubt the Morinas contract demon can defeat Satan's power. If it really was strong, why wasn't Rin bound to the contract earlier?

I think the purpose of the contract is more of a "let you know if someone broke it" type of thing, more of an oath than a contract. Why would they need to put Rin under oath?

[earthforge]

I think the purpose of the contract is more of a "let you know if someone broke it" type of thing, more of an oath than a contract. Why would they need to put Rin under oath?

Rin's the one who is acting out of control all the time, from their perspective. He defies orders a lot. All I can figure out is that either they don't think they could bind Rin to the contract or Rin has more advocates.

They kept emphasizing that if Yukio broke the terms (which appeared to be (a) not ask any questions and (b) not discuss the contents of the meeting), he would be tracked down and killed by the demon behind the contract. Why not do the same with Rin except under the condition that he must obey orders?

[candy]

i guess they think it would be a waste cause rin would most likely be able to defeat the demon that came hunting him down. i'm interested in your idea about yukio not being a complete demon like rin but not exactly human either earth. what abilities do you think yukio might have? also, agreed on the whole yukio cracking like an egg and joining todou and the Illuminati.

I dunno. I'm still confused about Yukio specifying that Mephisto knows about his left eye. When the eye incident thingy happened, we saw both eyes turn blue - not just one. It might be an error, but it also might be new stuff.

Abilities... hm... I think passive ones. Nothing like blue fire, but the intimidation and demon detection skills make sense (though we're still debating that on Blue Knight.)

Or if the abilities aren't his own, Yukio can draw the power away from Rin accordingly but with a limit since he's still a human who wasn't strong enough to house the full power.
