Ao no Exorcist is a Shonen series written by a woman and it shows
Since the latest chapter, I've been thinking about how several usual Shonen tropes are written rather differently under Kato-sensei's pen. No judgement or anything, it's just cool to observe. Some examples :
1) Rin's mentor is a woman
Tumblr media Tumblr media
2) Rin's secret, despite being the MC, was revealed in ch13 to the entire cast, meanwhile Shiemi, The Main Girl, who was introduced to be so helpless is only starting to be explained.
Tumblr media
3) Also, the Mysterious plot-relevant Shonen Parent is actually the twins' mother. (Of course Shiro is super plot-relevant too, but Satan is still angsting over Yuri and she's a huge part of the reason why he's the big bad)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
4) Rin also changed his view about his future throughout the story: from dropping out of school, passing by hoping to become the Order's Paladin (probably to cope with Shiro's death and also to antagonize Arthur), to finally showing way more interest and potential in the (less epic and heroic in appearance) field of talismanic cooking.
Tumblr media
5) When it comes to arcs, mental illness is a valid reason to build a character arc around...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
6) And so is making an arc about girls being "cursed" to basically "get married and have children before they hit 30, the age where their beauty fade thus they become useless" :
Tumblr media Tumblr media
7) ANE is a story about women becoming traitors to protect their loved ones, like Mamushi
Tumblr media
or becoming overwhelmed because men toyed with their feelings like Tamamo
Tumblr media
8) Older women can be absolute badasses like Shiemi's grandma
Tumblr media
or Lucy.
Tumblr media
9) Complicated mother-daughter relationship and girl friendships are given as much focus as complicated father-son relationships and sweet bro friendships (like Bon and his dad during the Kyoto arc, as well as the complicated but deep bond between the Kyoto Trio)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
10) And one of my favorites: full time single dad, asking for help to do the job as well as he can and finding his true purpose in life by doing so :D
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hmm and now that I think about it, the only other Shonen series written by a woman I've been as invested in is Kuroshitsuji, by Yana Toboso, and similar examples can be found in it too, namely:
1) If Ciel ever finally admits needing a mentor, his aunt Frances will probably play that role
Tumblr media
2) Girls can be super strong & skilled (Elizabeth, Mey Rin) and clever (Sieglinde)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
3) (one part of) the Big Bad is a woman (Queen Victoria)
Tumblr media
4) maybe Ciel's entire revenge stems from a conflict between Queen Victoria and Ciel's maternal grandmother, Claudia.
Tumblr media
5) the Undertaker has been a continuously freaking pain in the ass because he probably fell in love with that same maternal grandmother and couldn't mourn properly
Tumblr media
TL;DR we love our boys and their spectacular growth and development under women's pens a.k.a shonen series written by ladies are hella fun to read. :D

Lewin and Osceola: Chapter 148 recap and notes
Man did this one hit me in the feels.
We get the back story between Lewin and Osceola and it's intense, sad and full of love.
Osceola is ready to martyr himself to save the person he cares most about; Lightning.
Lightning is like a son to him.
In the beginning of this chapter we find Osceola, laying on the ground and near death after battling Amon. Lightning is shouting into his headset, urgently begging him to answer. Osceola is musing on the last vestiges of consciousness that Lightning seems really upset and "he lost his cool." And it's true Lightning is always cool, calm and collected, he's like Mephisto. But in this case, Osceola is very special to Lightning, he's the man that raised him and is like a father. Regardless of Lightning's normal lack of empathy, his deep love of Osceola is blatantly showing through.
Tumblr media
Osceola has a flashback of his life. We see that he has spiritual Indigenous roots, and his family taught him about death. Death wasn't an ending to be feared, but a transition. And a person's death should have some sort of meaning, at least that's what Osceola surmised. He went out into the world trying to find what life truly meant, in order to better understand the purpose of this death. When he met his wife and had a child he thought he understood. He would provide and protect his family. Love and family were the key, the things worth fighting for. That love was worth dying for.
Sadly, his child was killed in a terrible accident. Osceola couldn't stop it, and couldn't protect his child. This caused the breakup of his marriage and Osceola lost everything he valued, his family and his self-worth.
Tumblr media
Osceola's life parallels Shura. Both exorcists turn to alcohol after the death of a loved one. When Shiro died, Shura was completely lost. Shiro was closest thing to family Shura ever had. Without Shiro she also could not fulfill her promise to Hachiro and was left in limbo.
Tumblr media
Osceola, also couldn't be spiritually fulfilled and have a meaningful death. He had no-one to protect, no family to fight for.
Luckily both Shura and Osceola were able to find a life worth living. Shura became a parent/mentor to Yukio and Rin. And Osceola was given the task of mentoring Lewin Light.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lewin had a terrible childhood, and seemed destitute, drawing parallels to Yuri Egin. It's possible he was raised under the supervision of former exorcists like Yuri. Yuri's caretakers were homeless people, and perhaps Lightning's were heretics.
Yuri, however, fared slightly better than Lightning. She had a much more loving family and learned empathy and love. These lessons followed her throughout her life. Sadly Lightning was chained in his basement because he caretakers didn't know how to deal with his powers and inquisitive mind.
Yuri lost her caretakers when her demon temptaint (Satan) got jealous and killed them.
But what about Lightning. It almost seems as if he killed his caretakers himself, after suffering intense abuse.
Tumblr media
Lewin's story more aligns with Satan. The kid acts like a demon, he has the same crazy instinct to learn everything, impossible power and a lack of empathy.
And we all know what happened to Satan. Satan is mistreated and turns into a supervillain that can't be reasoned with and wants to kill all of humanity and scorch Assiah to ashes.
Tumblr media
In order for a demon to exist in Assiah and be content, he must care about humanity and learn to coexist with them. Nurturing demons is really, really important. They do have feelings, they just don't wear them on their sleeves like humans. Loving a demon does have an impact, even if it doesn't seem that way.
Tumblr media
Osceola is given the difficult assignment of caring for Lewin. He's a fish out of water, like Shiro was for Rin. (Don't think Mephisto isn't watching this experiment carefully!!)
Lewin states that he isn't possessed by a demon. And I believe him. I think this kid is a reincarnated version of Azazel. When Azazel no longer wanted to live in Assiah, maybe he retired his ego and passed on his heart to Lewin?
Osceola teaches the little demon kid what it means to be human. And I think a lot of it sticks. Lewin is clearly on the side of Assiah.
Tumblr media
When we snap back to the future, we see Lewin and we don't even get a chance to read his emotion, but whatever it is, it's serious enough to scare the shit out of Bon. Lewin knows his father is ready to die, and will that cause the demon finally emerge out of Lewin? Will Lewin be the next person displaced? Will he become lost too?
Is Lightning's grip on human affection and love enough to help him weather the emotional storm that is coming? Will fighting for Assiah be enough to give him meaning?
Osceola's death will be a test.
Now we wait to see if Lewin passes that test.
Will the new Azazel be a Mephisto? Or will he be a Lucfer/Satan?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Do we have any concerns about Lightning?
Does he just tell humans what he wants them to hear?
Or does he really have feelings?
He lied about this his family... after telling the truth.
His words can be contradictions...
Tumblr media
He also said he wanted to be a hero, loved humans and the world. He said he wasn't into revenge and liked Assiah the way it was. He didn't have a secret ambition.
What if that was a lie?

Actual forest witch Yuri 💚
*The plants she's carrying are chamomile, lavender, eucalyptus and oregano!
Also with some hcs:
• Gets away successfully from True Cross.
• Lives in the forest, Shiro visits her from time to time.
• Had to cut her hair once bc the twins kept pulling it. It normally wouldn't be a problem for her but Rin had demonic strenght ಠ_ಠ
• She was weak for some time after the twins' birth and learned that Rin's flames could be used for protection.
• Always carries aloe with her bc the twins like to explore and often get scrapes (although it's mostly Yukio that needs it).
• Wears carnelian bracelets and others for feeling grounded (she was raising /twins/ alone xd) and safe. She also makes bracelets for Rin and Yukio.
• Gets really powerful over time.

I’ve been thinking about Yukio’s name wayyy too much because at first it was funny that everyone kept calling him Yukiotoko when seeing his ID but then it made me sad that Yuri named him after Shiro and Yukio has such a complicated relationship with him being his father and protector but also forcing him to grow up way too fast, but also now it’s doubled back to being really funny / kinda endearing because I imagine that Shiro spelled Yukio’s name that way on purpose like some kind of inside joke

[Image description: Two digital drawings of Okumura Rin, colored in dark blue and cyan. In the first, Rin is wearing a patrol uniform and floating in an empty space. He holds up his clawed hands and sheds tears from wide, bloodshot eyes as a torrent of fire arises from his demon heart, causing ashes to rain down. A pair of eyes with slit irises can be seen in the fire. A simple rectangular border is drawn around him, with an Arabic verse on top and a Hebrew verse on the bottom. English text near the verses reads, “HOW CAN I CRY WHEN IT’S ALL MY FAULT?! / HOW CAN I CRY WHEN I WAS BORN IN FLAMES?!”
In the second drawing, Rin kneels next to Yuri Egin, the ground beneath them bursting into flames. A barbed halo surrounds her as she tilts her head down and smiles gently, her eyes hidden under her hair. Rin cries as he lays his head in her lap and clutches her tattered dress with one hand. With his other hand, he reaches towards a large metal bolt that extends from the right side of the drawing. Another pair of Arabic and Hebrew verses are written within the border. English text on either side of the figures reads, “BUT YOU LOVED ME, YOU MADE ME, / YOU TAMED ME, YOU SAVED ME!” End image description.]
We appoint for him a satan, to be to him another self (qur’an 43:36) / and he sat upon the ashes (jonah 3:6)
We said, “o fire! be coolness and peace upon abraham!” (qur’an 21:69) / is this not a brand plucked from fire? (zechariah 3:2)
