#blue exorcist analysis
If you think I’m over this exchange between Tatsuma and Mephisto *potentially* implying Mephisto has witnessed the same event happen in multiple timelines and Tatsuma knows it… you’re absolutely incorrect.
Brain make boom. Much question.
The placement of Lewin on the 110 illustration is PERFECTION.
I have been so excited to get to this illustration so I could fully analyze it with the context which it appears in…
When you place the illustrations alongside the page, the paneling of the page is identical to the way the illustration has been broken up due to the light from Rin’s heart.Rin, holding his head in both pieces, fighting with himself, his morality, and his humanity. Not only is Lightning positioned directly above Rin… he’s the one character along side Rin who falls under the split, with his facial expression being full of uncertainty and fear, and the eye showing is the half that corresponds with Rin’s demon half trying to manipulate him to gain control. Shiemi falls between Lightning and Rin on the right side and is un-ironically… the person who continually brings Rin back down when his nature gets the better of him.
And his eye is nearly identical to how Rin’s right eye shows up in the bottom panel.
You best believe I am on my “Lightning is Rin from the future” shit again.
“…It’s important whose side I’m on!”
So for those of you who don’t know, I am a sucker for analyzing paneling… and the composition of the first two pages side by side, is very telling.
