Blue Exorcist Season 3 Episode 7 recap

Picking up the events from the previous installment, Blue Exorcist Season 3 Episode 7 opens with the Fox God Mike finishing the tale about Izumo Kamiki's past. He also reveals that the town has been plagued by the Dream Town Inari, a huge complex set up by a mysterious company.

The Exwire members realize that everyone in the town has lost their ability to feel anger or show similar emotions. A bus also arrives every once in a while from the Dream Town Inari to take the townsfolk to the complex.

As such, Rin Okumura, Yukio Okumura, and others decide to infiltrate the underground base, assuming the Illuminati has some sort of connection to the place. Following that, the episode switches to the Illuminati's base, where Izumo Kamiki tries to flee.

However, Shima confronts her and summons Yamantaka to combat Izumo's two Fox God familiars. With the power of Yamantaka, the "Illuminati spy" mercilessly kills both of Izumo's familiars, who were like siblings to her.

The episode then shifts to the Exwires entering the base after fighting several guards outside. Gedoin observes their entrance from a secret room, so he launches his "failed" experiments at them. Following that, Rin Okumura and others encounter ghoul-like creatures.

While observing them, Gedoin discovers that Satan's children have also arrived. Since they are the organization's top-secret cautionary targets, he decides to capture them.

The evil scientist then opens a void to separately drop every member of the Exwire inside a pit inhabited by strange experimental creatures. The episode ends with Rin Okumura remembering Shima's words at the festival that he can't win unless he is prepared to become a "killer."
