Well, I might be mistaken, but Yukio's grandfather (mysterious old man in the end of episode 20) looks like that bishop, who gets caught in blue flames in the beginning of episode 1 (Blue Night events, I presume). You can see that his face is badly burnt. Maybe he survived back then.



Woah you're totally right!!, I did not remember that guy at all until you pointed this out. It's definitely him...hmm makes you wonder what he knows about what really went on that night and how the twins were born...

Now I hope this FINALLY shows people just because you don't follow the manga doesn't mean you can't be a excellent show. This is just like FMA, went with original material, and was still an excellent series. As long as the writers are on their shit, don't matter what they pump out.

Not a fan of Yukio..he's just so ... blah. He goes about everything wrong, facing such powerful foes. He shouldn't be locking Rin up. As his teacher/brother/and friend(?) he should be helping him!! Shura was awesome too, and she's done her job. She guided Rin and motivated him, while Yukio is driven by pride and fear. Afraid of losing his brother..? Suppose to protect him but...ahhhm. whatevs. Don't care much for him..

-ohh and looking forward to seeing him lose control. Sick an tired of all the hate on Rin's shoulders. Fcks sake he's doing his best. 'specially with that bald kid.. T_T

-ALSO, worried that they set up too big of a goal. Defeating Satan. Don't want to bring the negetivity to this forum but I really hope this doesn't end with a "save your loved ones/& not give up whilst looking in the distance.." (2nd season.?)

Aww cut Yuki some slack. He's been working so hard, training undercover with his brother so blissful for years and years believing that he's got some sort of duty to fulfill, while in the end it was actually for naught. I can understand why he's so depressed over his broken obsession. Hope he won't go the wrong path, though, I like him nice and mature just like that. Oh well some twist wouldn't hurt. Won't complain if they pull him to the other side or something. DANG GIVE EXPLANATION ON THAT MARK IN HIS ARM PLEASE.

Yep, I'm also one of you who thought he'd explode some fire in a pinch. Lol wishful thinking.

Plot I beg you to thicken even more.

Polish in this series = WTF?
Does it mean in this case that Japan approved of Poland's influence in Christianity? It could mean that Japan gives us enough respect to put our stuff in their animes that have Christian element such as the Church where it was featured. In any case it's nice someone caught sign of it.
Influence in Christianity? There're not into Christianity, they just think that priests look cool(I can't understand why). Anyway, who think that someone in Japan know where Poland is?
No, I meant they sure know our best Pope John Paul the second so I though that finally them putting some of out language with Catholic stuff meant finally a sign as seeing us being great believers whereas before it may not have been the case.

TBH I have never seen Polish being used like that in anime.


It could be that professor eyepatch & his wife(the masked man) are polish, they could be Polish characters which is why it was written in Polish. The professor's name even sounds kind of european, forget how to pronounce lol.


yup like they said in the ep poland is igors homeland

A flock of unintroduced characters? The only new characters this week was Neuhaus' wife and Ernest, who has actually already shown up in the opening scene of the first episode. The teachers and people at the monastery have already appeared previously and aren't important enough to be elaborated on either so unless you also count in the random exorcist mooks I don't see how two new characters are one too many =s.

Unintroduced background? If this is about Ernest then I really doubt you should be expecting them to spill the beans on what's obviously related to this new arc. Neuhaus? It was already explained before that he supposedly lost his family in the Blue Night when Satan possessed him and his wife being alive is all part of the mystery of whatever's going on so it's still early to judge that. We've been introduced to an artificial life research laboratory so that could very well tie into that.

Rin being able to use his flames is something I'll agree with as being too hasty but this whole 'Hero masters his skill/power in the face of a crisis' has been done before so it comes down to how willing a person is to accept that development and move on. As for the crisis being random, Yukio has already warned Rin that people would be after his life should they know his identity so being attacked by a person who hates Satan is nothing to be surprised of. Again, the arc just barely started so it's really too hasty to claim it as out of the blue yet.

I'd certainly like to hear your reasons for your claims. =)

You know tht would make total sense as of this episode. Our country really hates Satan and anything that comes from it that is sinful thus why I am surprised that even anime got to our country since last in 1989s it was not even possible nor I think it was till the Russians left, anyway point being we hate Satan and it was wise for them to associate the eye patch guy if they did such to Poland. We really and really are Satan haters. Don't know how many Polish people are with me but I know religious it's very much so.

Smart move to include Poland in general in this anime because to us Satan IRL is a like a Jew is to a Nazi. Basically shit! This that in anime for me as an example I take fiction as not real but IRL yeah I hate Satan for sure.

I don't think like that. We hate Satan? I've never thought like that but all time at school we played with occult jewellery. Even if in Poland are too many too religious grannies why someone from Japan is intrested in this? And why polish people must hate him? It's not like wars and taxes are becouse of him. If creators of AnE just came up with this by lottery it's very very strange. Every time I look at this episode I think I don't see clearly.

Homunculus, anyone? That's what popped into my mind when I thought of artificial lifeforms.
If Nehaus' wife is truly dead, ^that is what that spider lady may be.

And it was kind of established from the start that Mephisto can't be trusted. The way this is going, it seems as if he wants to overthrow Satan using Rin. Or at least, that's what I'm predicting.

Oh wow, just wonderful. Rin, the guy completely clueless about controlling his powers, suddenly gains the ability to control the flames just when his friends were captured, travels at the speed of plot and arrives just in time, and we discover that not only he can manipulate his flames: he can hit with such precision that only the web gets burned and no one else gets hurt.

The only sensible way this could be explained is that the screenwriter pulled this plot development out of fucking nowhere.

Oh yeah, he has total control of his flames. I can totally buy it.

When did he start to train seriously to manipulate his power? Just two episodes ago. And now he can control them with meticulous precision and burn a target tied to another one, without burning the latter?

That's Deus ex machina, plain and simple.

Shura just gave him an idea to light the candles correctly. It's Rin's nature to protect his new friends. He had to channel that idea when he was lighting the candles.

His flames most likely hit them, but didn't burn them cause he wasn't aiming to hurt them in the first place. Just like how Rin burned off the clothes of Yukio and Shura. His flames never hurt them physically.

I think Rin's flames were never going to hurt anyone in the first place. Everyone was just scared that it would have.

When Shiemi got covered in Coal Tars while they were cleaning up the classroom, Rin set her on fire but she noted she wasn't being burnt. Rin set Yukio and Shura on fire but only burnt most of their clothes off while they were completely fine. I won't deny the end result was rushed but at the same time it was properly alluded to and not 'out of fucking nowhere'.

In anime and in manga I will always hate Angel >.< Why take Mephisto?? But then again we don't even know that powers he has in the manga... Maybe that was smart from them haha. But it's obvious that Nehaus is behind the damn Lab for his wife is alive...

Yukio *eye twitches* I bet they won't revealed what's happening to him until they do in the manga... which I'm guessing if its going to happen in season 2...

Grandfather?? *eye twitches again* Why introduce someone who's not in the manga.. Maybe he will explain what's happening to Yukio... But why only Yukio?? Maybe he hates Rin..

..
*twitches*

I just want to see the Impure King Arc.. Is that so hard to ask?? =[

Honestly, gotta agree with this post.... this episode felt rushed and filled with plot "duct tape". I know that they have to finish the series up soon, but this episode was still way to unrealistic. It was even more painful than the usual shounen powerups to me...
