Warning: spoilers ahead for Blue Exorcist chapter 133!

Blue Exorcist finally returns after a nearly year-long hiatus, with the demon Rin Okumura battling against his father Satan, who is using the body of Rin's adoptive father Shiro Fujimoto as a vessel. The manga originally went on break in July 2021 and just returned this May with chapter 133.

That vessel just so happened to be Shiro's cloned body, and Satan took it over, he accepted his son Lucifer's request to destroy the current world and create a new plain of existence where demons and humans can live equally. All hell literally didn't let loose immediately, however, as the mysterious demon Mephisto was able to pause time for five minutes so that humanity could prepare a defensive plan against Satan that finally went into effect in chapter 132… right before the series went on hiatus.
