Summary

  • The Illuminati, led by Lucifer, aims to revive Satan for world unity and peace.
  • Lucifer searches for a perfect vessel for Satan to possess, creating clones and an immortality elixir.
  • The Illuminati's headquarters is a camouflaged airship, conducting experiments to revive Satan and create a new world.

The Illuminati has a much more significant presence than what was first seen in Season 3. With Lucifer, the King of Light, as its commander, the Illuminati has dabbled in human experimentation to create the perfect vessel for Lucifer and Satan.

Although Lucifer seeks to create the perfect vessel for his father, Satan, he also seeks to unify Assiah and Gehenna to rid the world of suffering and create true peace. However, there is more to the Illuminati than meets the eye. Learn more about the Illuminati in Blue Exorcist.

The Illuminati is a powerful organization that seeks to revive The God of Demons, Satan. The King of Light, Lucifer, is the leader of the Illuminati and the driving force behind the revival of Satan. Although the Illuminati plans to revive Satan, that is not their only goal.

In the first stage, the Illuminati declared war upon the True Cross Order of Knights. A year after their first public introduction, the Illuminati plans to revive Satan. The reason the Illuminati wishes to revive Satan is to unify the divided Assiah and Gehenna. In Blue Exorcist, the human world is called Assiah, and the demon world is called Gehenna.

Blue Exorcist: How Much Has Renzo Changed Since Season 1?

Renzo's personality and motivations changed drastically at the start of Season 3. But how much has Renzo changed since becoming a spy?

Demons can enter Assiah or the human world by possessing those within it. However, the demon must be compatible with its host. The more powerful the demon, the higher the compatibility needed. The Illuminati, or Lucifer, wishes to return to the original state where light and darkness were born. By doing so, everyone will be equal and free from affliction, and thus, the world will become peaceful.

We must re-create everything. For that is the Illuminati’s mission.

As previously mentioned, the Illuminati is a powerful organization. Before the Illuminati revealed itself to the True Cross Order of Knights, they were first known as the Bright Future Foundation. This Foundation would recruit members from powerful families to join the Illuminati with the Foundation as its front.

Blue Exorcist: How Much Has Yukio Changed Since Season 1?

Yukio has always kept secrets, but they are beginning to spill out. What changes did Yukio experience, and how has it changed him since season 1?

In preparation for Satan's revival, the Illuminati, under the guise of the Foundation, founded the Far East Laboratory, which took place in Inari. This facility experimented on humans who visited the Foxes’ Alley, a tourist destination of restaurants and other food vendors. However, those who have indulged in the food here would become addicted and thus live in the Peace Town Inari, a building built to house those who have been experimented on.

The purpose of these experiments was to create an immortality elixir. The first attempt at this elixir was to maintain Lucifer's deteriorating body, and the second was to create a body that is capable of surviving being possessed by Satan.

Where is the Illuminati’s headquarters?

On a huge airship, the Illuminati can evade detection

The Illuminati's primary headquarters is the Dominus Liminis, a magically camouflaged airborne aircraft carrier that is ground zero for all of its magically scientific research. In the airship, the Illuminati’s primary focus is on the development of scientifically and technologically advanced weapons and armor.

The airship also houses Lucifer’s perfect clones, which are perfect bodies that Lucifer can switch out and replace if they deteriorate. Lucifer’s search for his ideal human body first began during his time in Section 13. During this time, Lucifer and many of his siblings, the Eight Demon Kings, had been searching for a human body in Assiah to withstand their possession—however, the more powerful the demon, the harder the search for their perfect body. This is also why Satan could not possess a human for a long time when he tried to enter Assiah.

Has the Illuminati accomplished this goal?

The Illuminati has revived Satan but has yet to recreate the world
