lol this chapter was quite funny despite the angst. Kanda and Bak was hilarious! XD
I wondered why the half-akumas were called "Third Exorcists" but now it's cleared... Never thought that Kanda was actually the "Second Exorcist"!
Gah! Kanda was synthetically made? So, he's like a clone or something?!!

The lotus... isn't it the first time in the manga that it's actually seen and mentioned?
