While attempting to rescue Izumo
from the clutches of the Illumunati madman, Professor Gedoiin, the exwires find
themselves not only separated from one another but facing zombies! One by one
they defeat their foes and assemble as a group once more, only to face Gedoiin. Gedoiin
reasons that it’s only right for humans to experiment on humans, as they’ve
experimented on animals for a long time. Just then her captors bring out Izumo.
Ren goes into action and finds himself facing off with Shima! Rejecting the
help of the exwires, Izumo agrees to take the Nine Tails inside herself. Can they
stop the Nine tails without hurting its vessel, Izumo?
This volume of Blue Exorcist is not as Ren-centric as
others. It showcases the exwires more as a team. We get a glimpse of Suguro and
what he was like before he became his current buff and strong self. And Izumo
sees another side of her otherwise weak and selfish mother. Professor Gedoiin
is one of the creepiest villains we’ve encountered so far, and he doesn’t get
any better in this volume. I’m still not entirely sure that Shima is the
traitor he seems to be, either.
To be honest, I’m not sure what
purpose would be served by implanting the Nine Tails in Izumo, but I’m looking
forward to seeing where the story goes now. Another good volume, can’t wait for
more!
