Yukio's actions are concerning

Yukio has been on edge ever since he learned of his inherent demon powers. He lashed out at Rin in the previous episode over the topic of their mother. Yukio knows about Lightning's visit to their old monastery to investigate the Illuminati. He questions Ryuji about the details of their investigation to which Bon replies that he cannot reveal the information.

Later on, Ryuji gets a call from Lightning who'd tortured and gathered information from Doctor Dragulescu regarding section 13. As he hangs up, Yukio pulls him aside and puts a gun to his head, threatening to shoot unless Ryuji tells him about his and Rin's origin. However, Yukio, almost as if waking from a trance, snaps back to his usual self.
