An intriguing if not entirely unpredictable, picking up where the previous episode left off. Reverend Shirou does his best to protect his son from the growing demonic foes only to be cornered in their chapel. At this point Shirou hands Rin a massive plot device in the form of a sword, ordering him to guard it with his life but never use it. One of those ‘do not push the red button’ moments, of course Rin pushed it. It was such an obvious set up. As was the possession and death of Shirou.
Potential baddie Mephisto Pheles (name and appearance alone scream demon) is introduced after the credits, with the intention of killing Rin for the sake of humanity. However inexpiably changes his mind after Rin expresses his goal to become an exorcist and kill Satan, talk about setting his sights high. Seriously Mephisto (through I don’t think those two terms go well together) that would be the dumbest move a person in your position could make, if you didn’t have an ulterior motive.
Nevertheless this is still enjoyable.
Verdict: Good
