| Intense episode, the best scene in my opinion was Rin's slashing of Amaimon's "resting clock". I did not expect that. Looking forward to how Mephisto will deal with this out of control Rin. I'm still having a bit of reservation regarding the choreography of the fights. It's flashy, but the movements concentrate too much on power with little skills, and it gets boring at times. Nevertheless, I'm still anticipating each episode greatly. |

Amaimon himself fights for fun so I doubt he'd care much about any of that either.I'm still having a bit of reservation regarding the choreography of the fights.

| The fight was awesome. I think there was plenty of things he could've done other than taking out his flames, but that wouldn't make the story any interesting or would it. |
 |
| awesome ep. i wasnt expecting Rin to loose control. cant wait for next;D |

| one of the best episodes so far, the fight scene was awesome! |

| great episode. this is really one of the few anime i'm enjoying watching right now. and i, for one, really hope amaimon isn't dead. villians aren't automatically bad characters, and i find him to be particularly interesting, and rather funny. Lightyear8684 said: DO any of you watch next episode preview at the end of the episode? in preview someone starts saying about execution of son of Satan, so we can conclude, that everyone noticed that Rin is son of Satan. as someone who watched the next ep preview, i would like to say that i don't think it's for sure that the others understand exactly what they witnessed. the preview shows us a high ranking exorcist who figured it out. rin's classmates are not nearly on his level. it's sort of like saying someone who knows basic math could figure out a complicated algebra problem. they've definitely got some pieces of the puzzle, but it's doubtful that they've been able to figure out just how they all fit together. Papander said: The song that was playing in the beginning during the recap, anyone know what it was? i'm about 99% sure the song that was playing was Exorcist Concerto First Movement Me & Creed by Mika Kobayashi from the original soundtrack. :3 |
| very nicely done. the fight was very enjoyable. they only recognize the blue flame so they thought something was happening TO him not that he was anything like the son of satan. it would be absurd to even think that if you didn't know. but still, the commercial at the beginning was just too funny. props for them to use classical music like that.

Add to the fact he's gone berserk means his fighting won't have any proper technique, just wild brandishing. Amaimon himself fights for fun so I doubt he'd care much about any of that either. rin's success in this fight came from simply overwhelming power rather than skill. Amaimon never really fights with any real method or tactics. he is an eccentric to begin with and that is also demonstrated in his fighting style. Rin is actually more powerful than he is now, the sword and sheath serves to keep his powers in check. if they were to be destroyed its likely all his flames would come at in full force. |
| I don't understand why the headmaster wanted to expose Rin's secret ... and the headmaster is demon too.. how can they even let him be a headmaster in the first place? can anyone tell please? |
 |
| If it weren't for the completely unnecessary and long recap at the beginning, this episode would have been perfect. The animation in this show is amazing and fits the atmosphere wonderfully, and that fight really showed off everything A-1 can do with this this show. |
| "My tables-meet it is I set it down That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain." |
| Finally Rin shows hidden power of demon. |
Papander said: The song that was playing in the beginning during the recap, anyone know what it was? I think its called Me & Creed. But its in the OST, i highly recommend the OST for this show. |
 |
| Yo! I just cant hate Amaimon! XDDD Hes so cute and funny!!! XDDD And I ship Amaimon x Shiemi so BADDD!!!! <33 I read the manga, and Im not looking forward to the next couple of episodes.. |
| O...M...G... That was freaking Epic! |
       |
| Shit got real best anime episode I have seen for a while |
 |
| I love this anime even more now! kinda reminds me of Naruto kyuubi and Ichigo hollow !!! But epic fight! Damn i wanna more than 25 eps -.- but i guess there will be second season then! THERE HAS TO BE!!! -.- Fcking love that anime And lol at commercial xD I thought it was trailer of new anime xD then suddenly GIn popped up there xD Mby next arc trailer? Or just random. |
 |
| HOLY FUCK. GG. |
 |
| Everything just happened in a matter of this episode... Rin has officially began to lose control of his flames. And when was Gin part of Ao no Exorcist... wait, it was a commerical. O_O. |
     |
| Why why why does it has to end this sudden! Oh God! x( The episodes are becoming shorter and shorter.. half of the episode was recap anyway.. (not mentioning Gintama break. I was happy to see it.. x)) *cough* off topic *cough* The music playing at the recap (which is in the Ao No Exorcist OST) was pretty much like a song by a group named 30 Seconds to Mars.. x) First Movement Me & Creed by Sawano Hiroyuki http://snd.sc/rk01wt This is War by 30 Seconds to Mars http://snd.sc/qei6sh I loved the soundtrack of AOE. His work is amazing. Even some of them are almost Daft Punk'ish xD |
 |
| Best episode so far. |
| Yeah, I was wondering why in the hell Gintama was doing a crossover in this episode ... then realized it was a commercial. Both for his anime and for seperating your trash, apparently. :P For others watching the GG sub, wtf was with the monkeys at the end? What was that even advertising? kisami said: very nicely done. the fight was very enjoyable. they only recognize the blue flame so they thought something was happening TO him not that he was anything like the son of satan. it would be absurd to even think that if you didn't know. Yeah, except Bon recognized the sword he was using, and is enough of a genius to figure he's harnessing Satan's energy. An awesome fight, best one we've seen in this show so far. Amaimon's 'death' was intentionally left ambiguous I'm sure, so they can return him or not as they need. I was also glad to see the long-awaited reveal of his flames. I'm sure his friends will shun him for awhile, especially Bon, but they'll pull back together in the end. Next episode a new assassin from the Vatican's coming after Rin, and it looks to be that guy with the huge-ass sword from the OP. I wonder how he'll fare with his sword in Mephisto's hands and his friends terrified of his powers. 5/5 |

| Best episode we'll get of this show, this season at least. |
 |
| Wow, this episode was suprisingly good. Hope the following eps will be on the same level. |

Composer love! x) <3 |
|
| this episode was epic. Iwant to see the next one and ai want to know how his friends react |
| Best episode till now and Gintoki looooooool ahahaha. |

This was the best battle of this series Rin VS Amaimon as a homage to Rin, I present you thee bad ass of bad asses GIFs of Rin that I did so far as follows, That is the baddest of Rin I have seen. OMG that is insane and anyone who loves Rin can have its avatar in the spoiler Even though it might be not well made. Made 2 more of my favorite Rin stab on Amaimon and Izumo baptized at the infinite time (go figure GIF = constant cycle) so it’s like she is being holy watered all the time in the spoiler PseudoJord said: Yeah that was fabulous in the spoilerIntense episode, the best scene in my opinion was Rin's slashing of Amaimon's "resting clock". I did not expect that.  notice the fabulous and magnificent blood burst from Amaimon. So delicious after the shit he did to Shiemi and all of what he said to her in the spoiler The other one is as follows in the spoiler |
| that fight scene was sooo great, i didn't want it to end. i guess the sword was cracking from Rin's over powering or some thing, and does that mean Amaimon is dead? i want to know why the headmaster is doing all of this, and he was supposed to be Rin's dads best friend right? |
Ouran12 said: Yumekichi11 said: Amaimon is shit, he may look cool and pretty boy but he is shit deep down. He would probably get rid of Mephi if he knows he could be stronger than him. amaimon beat mephisto ? yeah right.....mephi's gotta be one of the strongest characters in this whole thing, while amaimon's just a mediocre boss. no competition, ever. Lylaaz said: I don't understand why the headmaster wanted to expose Rin's secret ... and the headmaster is demon too.. how can they even let him be a headmaster in the first place? can anyone tell please? the biggest reason (just my opinion) would probably be because: everything is a big, fat ass game to mephisto. he's the observing character that loves watching how things play out, good or bad. and....the reason he's headmaster is probably some big dark secret behind the organization. idk though, just a guess. this episode was really good, fight scenes did not disappoint. looking forward to 16 :) |
| My my, that was probably the best episode yet. Especially the kinda epic fight between Rin and Amaimon, i'm even more pleased with the fact that Rin lost himself there instead of turning all good and sputing bullshit about saving everyone. |

Or just random. Really, the commercial was so random. I actually thought that my vlc player was malfunctioning or somethings XD Amaimon=Broccoli? LOL. Loved the fight. Rin going berserk is awesome. He looks completely crazy. Amaimon was cute like always :3 Mephisto's flying tea party was funny. Loved how the 2 followed Bon. Judging by the preview, Shura must have reported the event to the higher ups. The blonde looks interesting, look wise for now. |

I've wanted an animated .gif and Rin being all badass and blue is just what the Dr ordered :) |
| Nearly 3 minutes of recap at the start of this episode, kind of throws off the pace if you notice that sort of thing. Further reminders of how powerless everyone except Rin as he goes all nine-tailed fox on us. The series is good but is getting very generic. |
 |
| I liked this part in manga better. still good episode, fight scenes were cool. I wonder how guy with the puppet managed to complete the task alone, he was pretty much useless until now Gintama commercial surprised me, it was both creepy and funny |
| OMFGGG that was the sickest episode!!! |
| I'm hoping that the producers didn't kill off Amaimon early due to production reasons (the cuckoo clock could have been a portal to Gehenna as mentioned earlier were hoping). They didn't portray the reasons behind why Amaimon wanted to fight with Rin as effectively as they did in the manga too. Enjoyed seeing this fight animated! |

| really amazing, I loved this episode =D I wish it had more than 25 episodes xD |
 |
| This episode was quite entertaining. Heck, it was so good, that I watched the fight scene 3 times. Amazing fight scene, and Rin finally reveals his power in front of his classmates. 10/5 :D |
 |
| Finally a great episode. I was waiting since episode 2 for it and I wonder what the last 12 episodes were all about, they could have easily been summarized in three or four eps (developments and characterization have been extremely shallow until now, if not non-existent) with this one being episode 6 or so... Now the real script can begin I guess. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| This was the best episodes in the series so far. IMO it was better than in the manga. Amaimon was a jerk and nobody likes draws. Draws are worse than losing. |
  |
| lol Mephisto's expression when Okimura trash the clock was priceless I hope they didn't kill Amaimon, he was a pretty decent character and even he used everyone around Rin like puppets he was well aware he couldnt kill any of them... cool guy hope he appears again |
| huh? |
| Nice episode, loved the action. It's starting to take a different turn from the manga now, so at least I'm getting surprises now. Even though I'm excited, I sort of wish they could've followed everything in the manga, but ehh. /shrugs/ Okaaay the clock thing was new. Swallowed Amaimon. Blonde haired dude is the new paladin? I don't remember him from the manga lol. A crack in the kirakura? (I think I spelled that wrong) his sword has a crack, but what does that mean? The sword is a container for some of his powers right? so.... That's also a new thing. AGHHHHH I'm going to be gone for a month and then I'll have to catch up with the rest of ao no exorcist but the wait just might drive me insaneeee ! >o< Hmm Amaimon never really shows up in the manga again after the fight, which Mephi just simply stopped and said "that's enough" to rin, but here his older brother said that he's given a 'rest'. I hope he's not dead. Lol I can't even call that a kiss towards shiemi, more like he was gonna eat her face xD |
 |
| Amazing fight! but i hate cliffhangers D: |
 |
| This.was.the.best.episode. EVER IN ANIME HISTORY!! OMG. Im still like excited even after finishing the episode. Everything was soo good! I didnt expect the moth that they encountered in the beginning of the episode to be that easily taken down though..but o well! Since the fight with Amaimon was PRICELESS. We also now know that there are 8 'princes' with Amaimon being one of them. Mesphito was be another since they are brothers. Hmm, this is getting really interesting! Since the Kurikara ( i spelt it wrong) is the gate to Rin's flames, then if the sword breaks then the gate is broken. Which means that the flames cant come to human world. OooOooO sooo good! Its Hell waiting for the next episode. 24 eps is definitely NOT ENOUGH!!! |
