Rin is the son of satan. I don't think there is much that can stop him if he really tries, like in his fight against Amaimon. The first time he only got away because Mephisto caught him with his cuckoo clock, and even then Rin was probably only a second late or so. He easily beat Amaimon later at the court, so why should some random demon, strong or not, pose much trouble?

It's debatable if Rin *should* have so much power already, not knowing shit about it and all, but as he got it, it's only reasonable that he would make short work of the demon. Everything else would be even more stupid, him somehow losing his power again.

They do that all the time in other anime. Bleach is a good example, with all it's fillers etc., obviously they can't let Ichigo waltz in with all his power he just got a moment before to defeat the major villian of the previous story arc, because the filler would be over after 10 seconds, but it just looks stupid.

Lol. Am I the only one who never read the manga? I can't tell which is filler or not.

Overall good episode. I'm happy that Neko finally accepted Rin.....but I really hated him in this episode.


if you like how the anime is going then don't read the manga cause it will make you upset..

Omfg I hate when this shit happens in anime. The main character has a justified reason to do something (in this case attack Konakomura) but then all he says is LEMME KILL HIM and everyone misunderstands.

ALL HE COULD HAVE SAID IS THAT THE BIRD THAT ATTACKED BEFORE WAS IN HIM. BUT NO. THE WRITERS JUST HAVE TO DO IT LIKE THAT.

Exactly.

Alright, no one is talking about Yukio. There was a part about the daily check-up thing, and I think it's somewhat suspicious. Does he have powers too?


im scared what they are going to do with Yukio, because in the manga we were just showed the marks of Yukio... Truly scared with the anime does one thing and when the manga covers it, it's going to make me hit my head >.<

The monster is one of those who wants Rin killed, and used Konekomaru's fear to control him.
So I want to know exactly who is the controller of that monster. If it acted alone then it must have had orders from somewhere. Right?


my suspicions are igor. his actions early on in the series has me thinking. he's only the one who carries such a grudge against the blue flames and wants to exterminate rin like earlier in the series.


I agree with u.Maybe he also has keys given by mephisto

few thoughts of mine...

rin seems a hell lot stronger

sadly koneko really does seem useless

interesting thing about that laboratory thing

i think the hamster is amaimon's morph just like how pheles-kyo can turn into a dog

EDIT: omg... i keep picturing rin as accelerator ever since i found out they have the same voice actor

EDIT #2: the start of every anime discussion thread says not to discuss manga yet every discussion thread has manga talk in it #rulesftw

At this point its pretty obvious that the anime is going in a different direction than the Manga. There's been way too many changes to just casually go back. Most of this stuff which seems pretty story relevant never happened in the Manga. Even the whole warming up to Rin Thing. Its all supposed to happen in Kyoto. So everyone should stop shouting filler and just enjoy the ride lol.

So is Yukio going demon or something? The guy doing his regular checkups is obviously slipping.


It's getting too close to the manga. This is going to be a filler arc to give the manga time to get ahead.


No clue how they are going to transition into the impure king arc though. Since the whole beginning is about Rin earning their trust back.

Yeah, as far as developments go, we do know that Yukio's armpit is getting worse ... it looked like he was doing all he could to keep from collapsing while he was watching Rin train. Maybe Rin got the powers and with Yukio, it's more like a flesh-eating demon-disease. If he's getting weekly checkups tho, it makes me wonder why nobody's noticed he has the devil-boubons.

Like I said, Neko was annoying to me up until this episode, but I actually felt for him this time around. *shrugs* Though yes, Rin needed to just yell "Don't you guys see the giant raven over his shoulder?!?" to at least clue them in to what was going on. He doesn't seem to even realize when he's seeing or hearing things the others don't, though. The crow must've been in stealth mode, though it probably wasn't too hard to hide with Rin going full flame on mode there. I recall Rin talked down a few demons without anyone even being aware they were speaking beyond growls.

Hamaimon ftw!

It's still possible that they can stay faithful to the manga. They can end this filler arc by causing Rin to suddenly lose his friends' trust, and that will lead into whatever arc for some reason necessitates their being angry. Assuming it gets renewed for a second season.
I don't care about manga loyalty. I laugh when people point me in the direction of a cliche and then I argue with them for five minutes about how pointing out cliches has become a cliche.
I am glad that people are more sensible though. It's true that they should have drawn out that fight instead of having him kill everything in one slash, but I don't think this is a sitcom ending. There will be some slight changes.
I'm not excited for filler arc, but hey... more Ao no Exorcist is more Ao no Exorcist.

Not to mention it showed what I thought was a burn from Rin last episode. Is he getting ill?
Or, rather, is he coming into his own power?
SOMUCHCONFUSIONGAHH.


LOL didn't you see ep 17? There was clearly something wrong with him. Some black spots appeared on his body...


That's what I meant by a burn from Rin, since it happened after Rin burned his clothes off. But I suspected it was something else entirely. :P

Maybe because he's an interesting character that actually put up a fight against the main character the first time around. By interesting I mean quirky, a psycho nonchalant character will be entertaining cause you never know what they'll do next.

Although, I admit, I don't think he'll contribute much as a hamster it was funny to see him and tribute was payed.

If that's what both of you are talking about, then no, that's pretty cliche as well. Remember Ichigo vs Byakuya first fight? Remember Reborn? Fairy Tail? Beelzebub and any other shonen out there?

Koneko could indeed have said that a demon controlled him the first time but then there wouldn't be scene where they could blame Rin again now would there? Or Rin could have said it. Anyway. Even though I don't really like his character, it was a nice episode nonetheless. Amaimon the hamster took the spotlight for sure.

Next week's episode is called "A day when nothing happens". Dare I say filler? =P

No, not really. First fights always end up like that. Don't you find it a bit repetitive? Why can't it be the second one? Or third one? Why must always be the first one? O_o If that's the thing fangirls like about him, then so be it. But I must say that's a bit shallow.

Anywhore, Hei is awesome. And protagonists MUST always win. No need to drag him.

I thought the episode was okay, although the old attack-without-explanation-then-receive-mistrust scenario is frustrating and worn out. And all the one slash kills are annoying the heck out of me. But overall, not too bad. I'm really interested in the Yukio's powers thing they've been hinting at, one of the few anime additions I really like. Not psyched for another filler, especially since there's only so many episodes left. I guess this means a second season?

Unoriginal thread not having anything to do with story + Five-minute monologue by Rin about the love / friendship / not judging by appearances / other shyt + trashy demon defeated by only one cut (time is pressing!) + "Touching" scene at the end = Ugly filler

I have a bad feeling that we will get only fillers until the end. There was only 4-5 episodes to end, and producers need to finish the story "brilliantly", even if the manga has just started. And we will wait for "Ao no Exorcist: Brotherhood"
