The only way to
travel between the realms is by the means of
possession, like in ghost stories. However, Satan, the ruler of Gehenna, cannot find a suitable host to possess and therefore, remains imprisoned in his world. In a desperate attempt to conquer Assiah, he sends his son instead, intending for him to eventually grow into a vessel capable of
possession by the demon king.
Ao no Exorcist follows Rin Okumura who appears to be an ordinary, somewhat troublesome teenager—that is until one day he is ambushed by demons. His world turns upside down when he discovers that he is in fact the very son of Satan and that his demon father wishes for him to return so they can conquer Assiah together. Not wanting to join the king of Gehenna, Rin decides to begin training to become an exorcist so that he can fight to defend Assiah alongside his brother Yukio.
That's about it. Kuroko could've been more interesting if they fleshed out the effects of his past with the GoM and how he could've been transformed after their loss against Aomine. This also goes for every single team in KNB, they don't have any solid dynamic and it's just a repetition of the typical "calm-dumb-energetic-smart" squad in the team. The main teams in KNB aren't that interesting and don't really give us how they are
outside or inside the team/school. Take Haikyuu for example,
like KNB, they have many teams and you can see or feel a connection to them because you get to see what they're like outside of volleyball. However, in KNB, you only get to see the different teams during games ONLY. THAT'S IT. That also goes for Seirin.
The Generation of Miracles are also no exception from this. They are all defined by their superhuman abilities and are just very shallow. Aomine and Murasakibara are examples of wasted character potential, why? Because they didn't have an evident change after their loss against Seirin.
? The
names of the current Satans are combinations of names from the Gundam TV series. Issei was originally supposed to have Kiba's personality. Rias wasn't originally planned as a heroine and wasn't supposed to have big breasts. Asia's name is taken from the Italian actress Asia Argento.
