Blue Exorcist season 3 episode 3 recap
The episode begins with Lewin Light revealing the possibility of having more than one spy within the Knights. According to him, there are two spies in the Vatican, and one is in the Japan branch. As such, he asks Shura to look into the matter.
Following that, the episode shows the True Cross Academy, where everyone is gearing up for the highly anticipated School Festival. Shima Renzo and Rin Okumura try their best to convince the girls at the school to become their dance partners, but no one accepts their offer.
It was different for Izumo, Bon and Konekomaru, as they were preparing for the Exorcist exam. Nevertheless, Rin and Shima don't get bogged down and try one last time to convince Paku. Yet, much to their dismay, she had already received an offer from an upper-grade senior.
The next day, they arrive at the school looking like undead. At that moment, Rin and his friends learn that Shiemi has passed the entrance test to join them in the Academy. Delighted, Rin decides to ask her out for the dance party.
However, he feels even more miserable when he finds out that Shiemi wants to invite Yukio to the same. Unfortunately, Yukio signed himself up as a staff for the festival. As such, he was unable to accept Shiemi's proposal.
Later, the blonde-haired girl learns from Paku that Rin originally meant to ask her out for the dance. This revelation undoubtedly creates a conflict in her mind.
The next day, Mephisto Pheles arrives and declares the start of the True Cross Academy festival. With everyone's combined effort, the Academy wore a festive mood. Later in the evening, Rin asks Izumo to help him out at the register, which she reluctantly accepts.
Following that, the episode sees the protagonist find Shiemi at the festival. Being aware of the fact that Yukio rejected her offer, he takes Shiemi to the place where his twin brother was stationed. Together, they almost force the bespectacled exorcist to dance.
The final moments of the episode see Izumo arriving at the festival, wearing the costume Rin gave her. Unexpectedly, she finds Takara Nemu outside, who reveals a "precious mascot" of "Kamiki Tsukumo" to her.
The episode ends with a shocked Izumo furiously asking Takara how he got hold of that item.
What to expect in Blue Exorcist season 3 episode 4?
Blue Exorcist season 3 episode 4 will likely reveal the actual identity of the Illuminati spy within True Cross Order's Japan Branch. Given how the latest installment ended, fans can also expect to get more information on Takara Nemu.
Due to the inconsistency in the adaptation, it's difficult to surmise which chapters Blue Exorcist season 3 episode 4 will cover from the manga. However, the episode will wrap up the True Cross Academy Festival and inch closer to the Illuminati arc.
