Blue Exorcist, Vol. 23

Kato, Kazue. Blue Exorcist, Vol. 23. 2019. 210p. ISBN 9781974711727. Available in the graphic novels section of the library. 

Following revelations about Rin and Yukio's mother in Blue Exorcist, Vol. 22, the tragic past of Yuri Egin, is gradually brought to light as Rin observes with Mephisto Pheles, revealing her prior involvement with Father Fujimoto as a promising young Exorcist. Both were key players in Section 13's ambitious research, which focused on creating immortality elixirs and developing clone bodies to serve as vessels for demonic spirits. This highly experimental project, aimed at harnessing demonic power, initially showed signs of progress.

However, the research took a catastrophic turn with the unforeseen manifestation of a demonic spirit within one of the clone bodies. This wasn't just any demon; it was Satan himself, the most powerful demon of all. This catastrophic event marked a pivotal moment in Yuri and Fujimoto's lives, setting in motion the tragic circumstances that would ultimately define Rin and Yukio's origins.

The story continues in Blue Exorcist, Vol. 24.
