Blue Exorcist Season 3 Episode 8 begins with Rin Okumura shouting his friends' names in the darkness. However, he realizes that everyone has fallen into different places. On the other side, Michael Gedoin gets summoned by the Illuminati's commander, Lucifer.

The lord of Seraphims expresses his gratitude to Gedoin for his hard work and inquires about the research. Gedoin replies that he has finished a thorough examination of Izumo and he plans to transplant the Nine-Tails from Tamamo's body to her daughter.

He also informs him about the intruders, including Satan's child and his younger brother. However, Lucifer orders Gedoin to refrain from eliminating either Rin or Yukio. At that moment, his body falters, and he says that everything rests on the success of the elixir research.

The episode reveals that the elixir produced from the research would be used to restore Lucifer's deteriorating body. After Lucifer goes back, Gedoin prepares to transplant the Nine-Tails from Tamamo to Izumo without delay. However, he shockingly discovers that the success rate is only 0.08%.

Yet, he wants to proceed with the transplant. At the same time, he plans to eliminate Rin and Yukio Okumura, despite Lucifer telling him to leave them alone. Elsewhere, the Exwire members are engaged in battle with the higher-level zombie monsters.

Konekomaru panics but soon regains his composure to fight back. He gets an unexpected aid from Kuro, who helps him get away. On the other side, Yukio Okumura uses his experience to immobilize an "immortal" zombie.

Besides them, Bon and Shiemi also showcase their strength to overwhelm their opponents. The episode ends with Michael Gedoin announcing his presence to the Exwire members after seeing them reunited.

Since the latest installment covered chapters 56-58 from Kazue Kato's manga, Blue Exorcist Season 3 Episode 9 will likely adapt the next two or three chapters and highlight the wicked nature of Michael Gedoin.

He will reveal how gathered the subjects for his inhuman tests. Moreover, if the next installment linearly covers the manga, fans may see Rin and others meet Izumo Kamiki.
