The Return to Grace Field Arc is the tenth story arc in The Promised Neverland series.
When all the children residing in the Paradise Hideout are kidnapped by Peter Ratri to be processed as food, Emma, Ray, Norman, and their group make their way to the place where it all started to everyone: Grace Field House.
Summary[]
Peter Ratri kidnapped all the kids at the Paradise Hideout and took them to Grace Field Orphanage, which resulted in Emma, Ray, Norman, and their group making plans to rescue them.
This arc also gave more context to Peter Ratri’s background and his family loyalty to the Ratri Clan’s stance on letting demons eat humans. Peter even compared himself to Julius—his ancestor—when he took out his own brother—William Minerva—for the sake of humankind.
Isabella—Mama—also made her grand return in this arc, having been promoted to “Grandmother”. The twist involving her return showed how much she valued being a mother to Emma, Ray, Norman, and the rest of the children. In her own way, she really did love them.
The aftermath of the demon hierarchy being killed—was also a great payoff. Mujika and Sonju were trying to rebuild the hierarchy with a new successor, but they were met with opposition and threats of execution. However, an unexpected demon enemy returned to give the demon world a new social hierarchy to follow.
