History Awesome / BlueExorcist

* In chapter 5, it's downplayed but as soon as things get dangerous, it's ''Shiemi'' who takes control of the situation, tending to Paku and ordering Rin to buy her time.

* Chapter 22: Rin, [[BookDumb of]] [[HotBlooded all]] [[IdiotHero people]] manages to pull a StealthHiBye in the middle of a room filled with exorcists. Not even [[BoobsOfSteel Shura]] or [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Tatsuma]] realizes that he had changes positions until he grabbed Tatsuma's robe and started getting on Bon's case. It's subtle but it shows just how badass Rin has the potential of becoming.

* Chapter 17: Doubles as Heartwarming. [[IceQueen Izumo]] is the one who [[WhatTheHellHero calls out]] [[UngratefulTownsfolks the Exwires]] for giving a SilentTreatment against Rin, despite the fact he saved their life at cost of revealing his true heritage as Son of Satan. It was cathartic:

* Chapter 107-108: True Cross Town is under siege and the higher ranks of the Order only care about protecting Section 13, so Yuri decides to go to Satan herself to talk him down. It works, and she convinces him to end the hostage situation and run away with her. There's really no telling how things would'veended up if they'd gotten away, but it's very impressive that she got that far.
