Blue Exorcist season 3 episode 5 recap
Episode 5 begins with Izumo waking up from a nightmare, where she blames her mother for everything wrong that happened to her life. She even sees her younger sister, Tsukumo, whom she calls her "treasure."
Similarly, Shima wakes up from his fatigue and decides to handle Izumo's situation. Elsewhere, the Exwire, led by Yukio Okumura, sets off on their mission to find and rescue Izumo.
Thanks to Takara giving a doll to Izumo, they discover that the Illuminati has taken her to her hometown, Shimane Prefecture. To reach there, Rin Okumura and others board a plane for the first time and find it fascinating.
A light-hearted moment was followed by a scene between Bon and Rin, where the duo firmly resolves to bring both Izumo and Shima back. Meanwhile, at the Japan branch, Mephisto Pheles is seen repairing the destroyed barrier.
He also tells Shura that the real spy was Shima and not Takara. Additionally, he divulges that he sent the Exwire kids to rescue Izumo.
Rin, Yukio and others reach near the Inari shrine and contact Mephisto. They find the atmosphere there akin to a theme park. Several shopkeepers flock around them, requesting to try out their specialties.
The episode returns to the Illuminati organization, where Izumo reunites with her mother. Being a test subject to the Illuminati scientist, Gedoin, she appears in an inhuman condition.
Gedoin tells Izumo that, as her mother is no longer "usable" for his research, he wants her as a replacement. The evil scientist reveals that he has found a way to conduct his research, without needing Izumo to become a second-class Tamer.
When she refuses, he blackmails her, saying that he will get her sister, Tsukumo instead. That compels the girl to submit to her fate. Elsewhere, Takara acquires a doll and summons a local spirit deity, who knows about Izumo and her connection to the land.
The spirit, who introduces himself as the servant of Ukanomitamanokami, asks how Rin and others are acquainted with the girl. The episode ends with him beginning to reveal Izumo's tragic backstory.
What to expect in Blue Exorcist season 3 episode 6?

In other words, fans can expect Blue Exorcist season 3 episode 6 to reveal the tragic backstory of Izumo Kamiki, including how she developed a distaste for her mother and held her sister, Tsukumo, dear to her.
