A Quick Recap!
Previously on Blue Exorcist Season 3 Episode 2, True Cross Order summoned Yukio Okumura to learn about his encounter with Saburota Todo and signed a blood contract. Later, members arrived at the party to deal with the demon-eaters, where the head of the organization asked them to learn more about each other. After the meeting, Yukio wondered about his twin brother Rin Okumura’s association with Satan. His doubt was raised after witnessing the same blue flames in his brother’s eyes. The episode then showed a flashback of Yukio’s connection with Mephisto.
However, the former was upset that his guardian hadn’t revealed much about Satan’s eyes. Soon, the episode shifted its focus to the True Cross Academy’s cram school. Yukio was in charge of the mission where Izumo and Shiemi had to fight on the frontline. However, the two had a complicated history. Despite that, they gracefully handled the battle. Elsewhere, Arthur A. Angel, Lewin Light, and other members arrived in Russia searching for demons. They were startled to find a man-made Gehenna gate. It continued to rise alarmingly, making things problematic for the team.
