Goodreads Synopsis:

Exorcists Rokuro and Benio unleash serious supernatural action while purifying the world of monsters.

The “Twin Star Exorcists” are fated to produce the child prophesied to end the war with the monstrous Kegare… But can Rokuro and Benio get along for five minutes, let alone save the world?

The Hadarae Castle Imperial tournament continues! Rokuro is determined to win his match and earn the right to join the hunt for Yuto. Then Shimon faces Tenma. What savage method does Tenma’s family use to determine who inherits their Guardian…?

Review:

Rokuro is amping up his fight with Kankuro. Rokuro doesn't like being seen as less-than, but he also wants to take every opportunity he can to be better and to prove himself. So he doesn't want any opponent to take it easy on him. He will take every fight as far as he can, I think.

In the second half of the volume, Shimon is against Tenma. Both of these fights have a lot to them, including a lot of back story. There's a lot of remembering as each character is pushed and things get dirty.

I've fallen so far back in this series, that I don't really connect with the characters anymore. And these Colosseum battles don't really do much for me, I don't think.
