Blue Exorcist Season 3 plot: The Shimane Illuminati Saga

The plot of Blue Exorcist will be about volumes 10 to 15, so chapters 50 through 64 of the manga. Season three focuses on the Shimane Illuminati arc. This arc differs a lot from the previous seasons, as this one has many unexpected twists and story events.

After this arc comes the Exorcist Exam arc, but we don’t know if it will appear in this season. Both of these arcs are the most meaningful of the whole series

It is very important to know that there is a traitor amongst one of the students at True Cross Academy, which has a major impact on everyone. At last, this arc shows how Lucifer plans to resurrect Satan and create chaos.
