It would. But Rin being Rin do you actually think he's gonna make it through this arc without interfering? 'Coz I'll take the other side of that bet.
Episode 2 Wow, that Shiro was quite the dick. I can't wait until Yuri tames him. Like I say this arc has really grabbed me by the lapels of my seersucker suit and is not letting go. |

Did I miss an important explanation again? Why does Blue Cross want to give Lucifer a cool new body that can handle this side of Gehenna? They're usually in the business of denying medical coverage (j/k, I'll stop now). I can see Mephisto wanting to help a brother out, literally, but why are the exorcists on board with this and devoting resources and personnel to it?
I feel like I kinda lost the thread somewhere, what with the anime-original ending of the first season and the years wait between that and the follow up. |

...and I'm really not a good person to try and answer your question, Gina, given I tend to be somewhat dense when it comes to explanations. Not from a lack of intelligence, generally, but due to a bad memory. However, from what I can glean, they are doing this to prevent some kind of catastrophe that will devastate humanity if Lucifer doesn't get a new vessel. Mephisto used a phrase like, "...the bomb that is Lucifer." I think the idea is they want to get him a new body and then ship him off to Gehenna. I feel like the show recently provided an explanation as to why Lucifer is stubbornly hanging onto his current body as opposed to just finding a new one, but I can't quite remember it - shocker! Something like because of his power, his bodies deteriorate really fast and his tired of it?
My question to the class is are they using the names Lucifer and Satan interchangeably or are those two different characters? |

They're two different characters. Lucifer is eldest of the Baal/Kings (Mephisto is second-eldest). The explanation that Mephisto gave a while back is that when the Baal first got bodies, they found having a body to be way more awesome than not having one. But their bodies were always deteriorating because they were so powerful, and Lucifer fastest of all, so he's in constant pain. (On the other hand, Mephisto is able to slow down his own deterioration because time manipulation.) None of them want to ditch their body without a new one to move into because then they're leaving getting a new body up to chance. (And they really like having a body.) Lucifer eventually decides that this is garbage and unfair and he's going to blow everyone else up to make things "fair". And so Mephisto goes, "Hold up, calm down, we'll make you a new body." TLDR they're trying to make Lucifer a new body so he won't go postal. And even if they're failing it's worth it because he won't do anything while he thinks there's still a chance it will work. (Or, alternatively, he'll just give up and go back to Gehenna to get away from the pain, as Mephisto tries to convince him to do this episode.) |

Thanks, Darkmagick! I was hoping somebody who knows their Blue Exorcist poop would drop by and fill us in and lo and behold it happened.

Ep 6
Well.  Of all the possibilities of what would happen during the birth of Rin and Yukio, I never imagined it would include Yuri yeeting Rin out like a cannonball. Ease up on those Kegels, girl! Also, Babby Rin sure had one helluva moukohan (蒙古斑, Mongolian spot). “Shiri ga aoi,” indeed.
Anyway. How weird would it be to be Rin watching all that? Kid's sure got a lot to process over that. |

British pop star and occasional chimpanzee Robbie Williams once famously said of watching his wife give birth that it was like watching his favourite pub burn down, which some how seems appropriate here given Yuri's catapult maneuver. I have to admit that at this point I watch every episode with dread, thinking, "is this the one where Yuri dies?" She has become one of my favourite BE characters and it's going be a very sad moment for me.

Episode 9
And so the moment I've been dreading finally arrived: the death of Yuri. It was every bit as emotionally devastating for me as I assumed it would be. And yes, Shiro should regret he wasn't kinder to her and didn't protect her more... useless bastard. Dammit, I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying!

Episode 10
Poor Yuri. She had a rough childhood and then her adult life was blighted by the presence of two utter a-holes: Satan and Shiro. She doesn't get to have any real time with her babies. And then even after she dies, she still has to deal with a whiny Satan yammering on about his lack of a body. She deserves so much better. |

You gotta admit that the bag of babbies is cute as all get out. Even the yeti thought so. I do wonder where they got the little hats for them though.

I don't think the yeti thought they looked cute so much as tasty. Not that it couldn't have thought both ways, of course.

Yeah, sure, tasty, but first it had to examine the bawling brats closely instead of just mashing them like it did to Shiro with no warning or hesitation. If not "cute" at least "interesting."
