| That's Shiro carrying on a legacy. It's great that he found a purpose in life since Yuri is gone and raising Rin as we know it. But yeah, this pretty much covers the complex background story of Shiro, Yuri, Yukio, and Rin. Shiro had to be a strong role model and teach their ways. It's been an emotional arc imo, but this season gave a deeper understanding of the characters' past, Satan's origins, etc. Blue Night is the most important event that started the main story after all. |

| And just like that, we're back where we started. Season One Episode One. At the church, Rin and Yukio still oblivious to what's to come... that is, Shirou's death. Back then we didn't know what exactly it was that led to Shirou burning up and dying.. but now it all makes sense. yet again, everything just connects so seamlessly. It makes it 10x more sadder now with the context. I keep forgetting but yeah, Rin is legit right here with us watching this all go down. It also makes you just see how much development he's had since season one. I mean, season one Rin would've been stepped in and fucked up something in the timeline, but that isn't the same Rin anymore, and I love to see that. And that whole final part of the episode where Rin talks to Shirou one last time... wow man. After all this time, Rin finally gets to say thank you. And with tears still pouring down his face, he beelines straight for his brother. And just like that, we’re back in the present. My guy doesn’t waste a second once he’s made up his mind. I couldn't have asked for a better way to end of the season then like this. Three seasons of mid and cookie-cutter shounen later, and we finally get this, a payoff for everything that’s been building up. The way it all ties back to the past seasons is actually insane, like beyond praise-worthy. And yeah, the visuals are still kinda meh, but the effort’s there. Not like action even matters much this arc, it’s all about the characters who built the story up to this point. Pure greatness. Really hope we do get more seasons of this now. I'm fully hooked. |

| @IzanaSolos Amen! I could not have said it any better. I have always been a big fan of this series and am glad I stuck with it. Shiro and Rin have been my favorite characters since the beginning. I hope we won't have to wait years before the next season comes out. ππ |
| Best finale of this season. Why is this anime so underrated? Guess people only care about animation nowadays (looking at Solo Leveling) |
| Best season of the anime so far. 8/10 |

@mugiwaraaa It's not on the final arc yet. As far as I know, there's still a way to go according to the author.
| @Karana321 Wow really? I mean they are fighting Satan in the manga now, what else could be there. lol |
| This was so emotional I actually cried, oh boy... That scene where . He is finally able to move forward again. Hope to see the next season soon! |
        |
| The best season of all time! |
| O anime estava lento, mas os últimos episódios encerraram com toda a história sobre a vida dos irmãos. Que episódio lindo, quase chorei. Fechou com chave de ouro. |
| I thought they only made the anime to promote the manga. 14 years later since the first season they consistently made sequel. Now the past stories already laid bare, only left the final arc. I hope they make another sequel until the end. Ventus_S said: Best finale of this season. Why is this anime so underrated? Guess people only care about animation nowadays (looking at Solo Leveling) Looking at other anime sub, many young people nowadays do really care about animation. If it's not Demon Slayer level, it's suck. Another reason is first season and second season of the anime was long time ago, which maybe hard to find and make it a large entry barrier. Posting this made me remember the original Shiro voice actor is already dead.. |
| I absolutely love this season so much, I cried throughout the episodes, even the final episode left me tears in my eyes, Rin's last response to his father was so bittersweet, something he always wanted to say after what his experience and show through Shiro's past is all connected. What a way to end the season, extreme cliffhanger: after Rin united with Yukio and it stopped right there. Please make the next season, this anime deserves its complete adaptation. 10/10 |
| Shirou parenting the twins was so ;_; and ofc it must've been so painful for Rin to see the hurtful words he said to Shirou before Shirou died. But it's good that he finally knows that Shirou did so much for him, so he can't just throw his own life away, or think that he shouldn't have been born. It was nice to find out why Shirou taught each of them different things, and the reason why Rin started to cook (and is so good at it!). I've always loved how much he seemed to enjoy cooking. Shirou was so thoughtful to teach Rin how to cook because Rin could learn how to control his strength, and use his brain (in a non-academic way). When Rin was about the leave past Shirou, it was such an emotional moment (crying again just thinking about), how he was hesitant to go, but was able to call Shirou "dad" one last time, and thanked him as well. Shirou must've known at that moment, but didn't question it T_T Wonder if he remembered that memory later on. I'm glad the answer Rin found was a good one, even though he had to suffer watching the whole past while not being able to do anything. Crazy for them to end the season like this, but at the same time, it was a great (emotional!) conclusion to the arc. |
| Oh, man. Conversations between characters from the past and characters from the future knowing what's gonna unfold always get me in my heart. Pain. I'm sitting here trying to figure out what was possibly worse than an iron maiden that got Shiro bleeped when he was talking to Yukio. My mind went to castration or something of that nature but I could be completely off? The sudden bleep caught me so offguard because I just woke up, haha. |

This was probably the best ep of the season, or even the series itself. The way everything comes back around to Ep1, seeing Shiro’s POV of everything. Definitely going to pick up the manga now since I haven’t seen an announcement for the next season yet.
| @CharbarZX Not the best but for sure a great way to end the season. Very emotional and awesome to see off Shiro like that. |
| Touching ending for Rin and Shirou... definitely one of the best Ao no Exorcist cour so far, it was emotional and the pacing felt great this time. |
 |
| Best way to end this season of this and that. btw Satan is an asshole, the incoming possession of Shirou was hard to accept. Halfway through the backstory of Yuri and Shirou was interesting, the Yuri story unfortunately was junk later on. We saw it coming, but I wish there would have been more to it than Yuri was acting highly suicidal for the friendship of demons and mankind. making babies with Satan and pushing the kids to your would be husband XD |

| Damn this one was finally a realistic one . Now Rin became much stronger man. See you later in this story. (β β₯β οΉβ β₯β ) |

| Worst season, Yuri was unlikable. |
         |
| What a way to end the season. We got to see Shiro raising Rin and Yukio through the years, ending with Rin seeing Shiro getting possessed, but this time from a different perspective. It was pretty fun to see that tie scene from season 1 again lol After we see Shiro die though, I thought that was a pretty fucked way for Rin to end this journey. Thankfully the key took him exactly where he wanted to go. He saw Shiro again, was able to listen to him talk about him and his brother, ate with him, and was even able to thank him for everything he had done for him. That whole scene hit pretty hard :( And to end the season, Rin is reunited with his brother after going on his trip to the past to learn the truth about him and Yukio. And with that, the season is over. What a ride! There were definitely some things I didn't like about this season, but I really enjoyed it overall! It's an 8/10 for me! It sucks that I'll have to wait who knows how long again just for the next season, but I'm really excited for it! Might have to pick up the manga at this point! Really looking forward to see what happens next. I mean, what was Yukio doing? He was holding what looked like a wand, a red gun, and something was happening to the helicopter behind him. Was that sand coming down? I have no clue, but I can't wait to see what comes next! |
 |
| I really enjoyed this season. It could've kept going as far as I'm concerned. Learning their history along with Rin was a great perspective. The only downside is I'm going to go through missing Shiro all over again. Something tells me he figured out it was Rin at the end. |
| I can't believe this has a 7.97 rating when this season has been spectacular, it's had everything, and on top of that, this last episode ends with you crying like a baby. |
