Kato, Kazue. Blue Exorcist, Vol. 8. 2012. 200p. ISBN 9781421550848. Available in the graphic novels section of the library. 


With the Impure King's massive body threatening to destroy Kyoto, Rin and Ryuji found themselves heading to the spore sacks, where the creature's heart is located, in Blue Exorcist, Vol. 7. With the exorcists fighting against the spreading of the Impure King, Ryuji calls on the temple's phoenix to erect a protective sphere that will safeguard the city, for the time being.

Yukio confronts Todo, he who revived the Impure King after stealing both eyes. Todo's demonic powers speed up his recovery, and Yukio is outclassed in strength and speed. He is still cunning, however, and manages to create a trap that ensnares Todo, but he eventually breaks free. Meanwhile, Shiemi gets over her fears of inadequacy when Izumo is immobilized by the Impure King, and she summons her own ally to help her.

With Ryuji holding the barrier, it is up to Rin and his cat familar Kuro to fulfill the mission of the Myodha temple and protect the world from the Impure King. Can he successful reach deep within himself and reconnect with his demonic powers?
