Ép. 16: Mephisto fait face à un procès pour trahison tandis que Yukio cherche des matériaux pour forger Kurikara à Kyoto.

16

Although Yukio and Shura prepares to subdue Rin, Shiemi manages to calm him down by embracing him. Arthur Auguste Angel, the newly appointed Paladin, captures Rin and takes him to the True Cross in the Vatican along with Shura as well as Mephisto, who is placed on trial for treason. Meanwhile, Rin's classmates become awed when Yukio reveals to them that he and his brother are sons of Satan, but they offer their help regardless, except for Konekomaru. Nemu stays behind with Konekomaru, while Yukio and the other students head to Kyoto to look for and talk to Yoshikuni XI, the descendant of the swordsmith who forged Kurikara, who is well acquainted with Ryuji. They must search for temple nails made from iron sand needed to forge the blade, looking inside a nearby old temple. Yukio and Ryuji, tempted by statues that wish for Rin to be killed, manage to destroy them before being influenced. The Grigori, who are the True Cross Order's upper echelons consisting of Melchior, Samyaza and Casper, hear Mephisto states that his reason for keeping Rin alive is to have him confront Satan, and just when he is trying to convince them to agree to his plan, an enraged Amaimon breaks in, eager to confront Rin once more.
