#ryuuji suguro #ao no exorcist #ryuji suguro #blue exorcist #suguro ryuuji #bon suguro #suguro ryuji #manga ryuuji #chapter 17 #okay prepare yourselves for a long tag section lol #i think it is incredibly important to see these four panels together #panel one we have ryuuji mostly just confused and ??? about how excited rin is and how much he's acting like nothing happened #because remember the last he saw rin rin was kinda going feral and getting dragged to the vatican #probably wondering if they're going for another ride on the danger train without getting any kind of information about it #(spoiler! he's entirely right. they're not told anything about rin's bargain or anything more about the whole satan thing.) #so he's not showing any real anger in that first panel #mostly just a 'what?' #then rin mentions kyoto #rin mentions kyoto and asks what's cool about kyoto because they're the kyoto boys who know kyoto #kyoto came up before when they were on the steps in chapter 13 #and ryuuji's expression immediately goes into a glare #and it does the same thing here #it's not rin. it's kyoto #it's everything that kyoto is and represents #it's going back to kyoto and being made to talk about it #it's going back to kyoto on a mission and realizing he's going to have to deal with his dad and mom and probably the rin thing at some poin #but tatsuma and torako are the biggest stresses and there's no avoiding them now #he made himself a promise and he's actively breaking it #and that is 80% of why he spends so much of this arc stressed to hell and back #it's not about rin
