Blue Ghost: Volume 13, Explained

Key takeaways

• Section 13 was created to clone the Demon Kings and provide Lucifer with a vessel, leading to elixir research.
• The facility was destroyed during the Blue Knight, leading to the formation of the Exorcist Cram School.
• Mephisto Fellas stored Volume 13 in a separate dimension, keeping it safe for research but at the risk of clone damage.

Section 13 is an experimental facility created by Mephisto Phales to stop Lucifer from destroying the world. The primary goal of this research facility was to specialize in mass-cloning products; Later, elixir research as a human vessel was not enough to sustain Lucifer's body.

Section 13 no longer exists in the current timeline blue ghostAs it was destroyed during the blue night. As a result, the Exorcist Cram School was rebuilt in its location to hide its existence. Chapter 13 contains important information about why the Illuminati exists and the Blue Knight.

What is Article 13?

To subdue Lucifer's wrath, Volume 13 was created to produce a vessel for him

Section 13 was a restricted area within the True Cross Academy for research methods that would prolong the life of Lucifer, King of Light, Asiah. This was a restricted area within the academy, so the asylum was created to cover the research facility. Section 13 had been conducting experiments for decades before Yuri Igin was taken away. However, the Blue Knight was later shut down as an attack by Section 13 and Satan killed many and destroyed the facility.

In Section 13, researchers conducted illegal human experiments to create an immortality elixir. In addition to nectar production, the facility also mass-produced clones of Demon Kings. Section 13 was created as a last resort to convince Lucifer not to destroy the world. In Chapter 86, Lucifer reached his limit and could no longer bear the pain and suffering when he felt his vessel was damaged.

Through this cajolery, I persuaded Lucifer. I then established Article 13 as the front of Asylum. I assembled world-renowned cloning researchers and pushed the research forward.

As Mephisto Fellas noted, he made Article 13, putting Asylum first. Thus, he assembled the world's most prominent cloning researchers and advanced the use of cloning. Mephisto had always been on the side of humanity, since he and some of his brothers had taught humans to fight monsters about 100 years ago. In doing so, it has preserved the balance of the world; However, to prevent Lucifer from destroying the world, Section 13 was created.

As mentioned above, the asylum was preceded by Section 13. The asylum would take in orphaned children who were related to ghosts or possessed. Mashou refers to a wound or disease inflicted by a ghost. If a person wants to become a ghost, they must participate in the Massou rite. After suffering an injury inflicted by a ghost in a controlled environment, the person will see ghosts for the rest of their lives. In the case of children taken in by the Asylum, the Asylum will train them if they have sufficient qualities to become an Asylum, as noted by Lightning in Chapter 85.

Lightning and Suguro Ryuji could investigate Section 13 under the direction of Mephisto Fales. Here, they discover a former exorcist training dormitory known as the Asylum. Fujimoto Shiro and Arthur Auguste Angell, the current Paladin, came from Asylum. However, the True Cross Order of Knights shut it down 16 years ago due to the Blue Knight.

Lightning and Ryuji could do this research because Mephisto had stored Volume 13 in a separate dimension to protect it completely after the Blue Knight. In the current timeline, the Exorcist Cram School was built to remove all traces of Section 13. To do this, Mephisto Pheles protected space by dividing it from the original timeline. However, time still passes at the same rate, and as a result, the remaining clones in the facility have been static for ten years. However, if the clones are exposed to open air, their deterioration is accelerated.

Mephisto is one of the eight demon kings known as Pheles Samel. Because he holds the power of time, Mephisto can manipulate it to his liking. As mentioned above, Father Fujimoto and Arthur August Angel came from the asylum. This is because they were the products of mass cloning and human experimentation. However, Angel is unaware of his heritage as he suffers from amnesia after the Blue Knight.

What were the additional goals in Section 13?

Section 13 also produces ships for Amaimon and Satan

• Section 13 was responsible for creating a proper ownership entity for Lucifer.
• Possessing a body was insufficient to sustain Lucifer in Asia, who began researching the elixir.
• Novice defectors trained in asylum to hide Section 13 research facility.

As mentioned earlier, Section 13 mass-produced clones of the Eight Demon Kings. Section 13 was originally created for Lucifer, and the quest was to provide him with a body to inhabit in Assiah. Since all demons come from Gehenna, they exist spiritually without substance. Additionally, this means they do not experience the same senses as humans.

As Lucifer was the eldest son of Satan, he was also the most powerful of the eight demon kings. Because of this, finding the most suitable body for him was a challenge, as the vessel would soon break down, leaving Lucifer in great pain.

I am at my limit. It has all been useless.

Section 13 was tasked with creating a suitable vessel for Lucifer and an elixir to prevent the decay of the human body. However, as most of the carcasses produced were unsuitable for capture, further elixir research was subsequently implemented. While Section 13 was primarily used to give Lucifer a human body, it enabled the other eight Demon Kings to gain one as well, just as Amaemon gained his human body.

Although this was not primarily the main goal, it was a means of training exorcists from orphans living in refugee dormitories. Mephisto was one of the demons who helped people cast out demons. As a result, the asylum was also a means of recruiting more ghosts. However, after Section 13 was closed and the Blue Knights became, as seen in Exorcist Cram School, the number of Exorcists may have decreased.

Does Section 13 have anything to do with the Illuminati?

Inspired by Chapter 13, Lucifer created the Illuminati to continue his research

Section 13 has nothing to do with the Illuminati. However, after Satan destroyed Section 13 during the Blue Night, Lucifer founded the Illuminati. Lucifer was still searching for a human vessel that could inhabit Asia; His father Satan was also looking for a pot.

In a contest with Mephisto, Lucifer offered to present Satan with a human body before Mephisto. Lucifer knew many people in Asia who respected him with great respect. Using this belief, Lucifer continued human experimentation and elixir research. The survivors of the Blue Knight followed Lucifer to continue the research and help, and with this came the creation of a Far East laboratory that focused on elixir research.
