Blue Exorcist -The Blue Night Saga- (2025) s01e01 Episode Script

The Illuminati turned the town of Inari
in Shimane into a tourist destination
while also building
the Far East Laboratory underground.
They drugged local residents and tourists
to use them as test subjects
for Elixir experiments.
This seems to be how they created
masses of so-called "artificial zombies."
Is that the truth?
You can't hide your distrust of me,
can you, Angel?
Of the artificial zombies
that we acquired,
we finally managed to take one down
after destroying its brain stem 30 times.
This is truly the work of devils
who know not the fear of God.
According to intel from my spies,
after the failed attempt with Nine Tails,
they're going to send Demon Eaters
to find demons with immortality
and high regenerative abilities.
Why should we believe your dubious spies?
You can't hide your hatred of me,
can you, Angel?
Come on, we've already got that area
under tight security.
There's no problem at all.
And there is no mistake that
the Elixir research is still incomplete.
In other words, the Illuminati hasn't
prepared a vessel for Satan yet.
This fact is highly significant.
However, Grigori.
For now, Sir Pheles's barrier
still contains the Gate.
But the low to middle-level demons
are swarming around it.
They are polluting the land
and Arctic Ocean to an alarming degree.
And that's not all.
Demons all around the world
are growing more active.
Not just the small fries,
but the high-levels too.
If this continues, people across the world
will be able to see demons.
And when perceived by humans,
the demons will gain even more power.
The whole world could turn into
a very picture of Hell itself.
The Illuminati is an organization
far larger than we had thought.
Most likely, there are already traitors
within the Order as well.
We must admit that Illuminati is the
greatest threat humanity has ever faced.
Shut up, demon!
Are you not the very traitor
you speak of?!
I've grown tired of
your continuous suspicions.
This may not convince you, but…
In order to keep time frozen at the Gate,
I am putting my own body on the line.
Sorry I couldn't take your side there.
I don't mind. You're my brain.
If it serves the Order,
don't hold back for my sake.
That's what I like about you.
On that note, can I ask you a favor?
I don't intend to play defense alone.
Today, I received a notification
from Sir Pheles.
The Exorcist Certification Exam
has been brought forward.
With this change of schedule,
it's time to submit the Meisters
you want to apply for.
Everyone, please think carefully
before making a choice.
Why did they move it forward
all of a sudden?
The Demonology class
is outside after this!
Wait, what's my next class again?
Demon Psychology. We stay here.
Yeah, that's right!
Yukio.
Are you going to be late again today?
Yes.
What do you eat at night?
Convenience store food
or just dietary supplements.
Oh, my!
That doesn't sound like a balanced diet!
Mama's worried!
Don't worry, Mama.
They taste pretty good nowadays.
It's not the taste I'm worried about.
Thank you, but I'm fine.
I'll come home from time to time,
so please cook for me then.
Sure.
And Shiemi, if you ever have any concerns,
let me know, okay?
-I'm off, then.
-Okay.
Rin.
Yeah?
What's going on with Yuki?
Isn't he acting distant toward you?
It's the same way he looks at me.
What do you mean?
Yuki always smiles at me.
He just wants to look cool
in front of you!
To me, it feels like
he's telling me to stay away.
But he's usually not like that
around you and Ms. Kirigakure.
She's been his teacher since he was young,
and you're his brother.
He can be himself around you.
So I wonder what happened.
You sure pay a lot of attention to Yukio.
You're right.
But there's nothing I can do.
Well… Why not ask what's bothering him?
If you ask, he might…
I did ask him.
Then he started acting like that.
I don't think he'll tell me.
Why not?
Because he hates to lose.
What're you doing brooding out here?
You can watch the assembly from here.
Apparently all the branch chiefs
from the Kanto region are here.
They'll probably discuss
the exam date being moved up.
You're not having second thoughts
about becoming an Exorcist, are you?
Like hell I am!
I'm readier than ever!
Oh yeah?
Then it's fine.
Though I'd kind of understand.
I know how it feels to lose people,
to lose your purpose, to be left hanging.
That sounds more like you.
Are you doubting yourself?
I will become an Exorcist.
I don't have anywhere else to go
since I lost everything.
It feels surprisingly refreshing.
You've changed.
You got a problem with that?
I like you better now.
And what's that supposed to mean?!
It was a compliment!
There you are.
Hey, if the others are in class,
tell 'em to get over here.
-The assembly's about to start.
-Assembly?
Guten Morgen!
Let's get straight to the point.
As you all know,
demon activity around the world
has been on the rise
over the last two months.
Low-level demons have been appearing
frequently even at this school.
With the increase in exorcism requests,
Vatican HQ has issued an urgent order
to increase the number of Exorcists.
Firstly, we'll form an alliance
with other Exorcist organizations
to enable us
to request reinforcements whenever needed.
Second, the Exorcist Certification Exam
will be moved up
to be held at the start of next year
to facilitate a drastic increase
in the number of Exorcists.
At the start of next year?!
That's in a month and a half.
Are they that short-handed?
Why is demon activity growing?
We need the specifics!
Has HQ made progress
in their investigation?
Wouldn't seeking to increase the number of
Exorcists lead to a decrease in quality?
Please do not worry.
In fact, Vatican HQ has sent
a powerful helper as an instructor.
Allow me to introduce Lewin!
A Hobgoblin colony!
Oh, my. But this is perfect.
Please, give us a short self-introduction.
Why do I feel like I've been set up?
But it's pretty fine weather,
so maybe someone'll show up.
It's Lightning!
Furfur!
Furfur?
Even among the Spirit kin,
that's one of the highest-level demons.
And summoning it requires a long chant
and a complex ritual.
O Lightning, Lord of the Arc…
Et cetera!
Boom!
Et cetera?
Well…
Let me introduce him again.
One of the Arc Knights,
known by the name Lightning,
Lewin Light!
Hello. This is kinda embarrassing.
Incredible.
So there you have it.
I'll be taking over
Ms. Shura Kirigakure's class,
Magic Circles and Sealing Techniques.
Pleased to meet you.
Students from other classes
and even Exorcists are here.
Course they are.
Who wouldn't wanna learn from Lightning?
This kind of opportunity
doesn't come often!
What is this?
Let's begin
with the illegitimate son of Satan,
the Blue Flames user, Rin Okumura.
Answer this.
Don't call me that!
Let's see…
The buttons on a game controller?
So close.
The answer is the magic circle
I normally use for summoning demons.
I wasn't close at all!
Simple, right?
In a real fight, what you need is speed.
So I'll teach you how to simplify
complicated magic circles and long chants.
Let's make friends with demons!
Or rather, let's make connections with
demon authorities!
Et cetera.
Hang on, that was just a joke…
We're getting such a great lecture,
but everybody left.
Is he really gonna teach us anything?
Saying we have to get along with demons
is crazy talk, you know?
You're one to talk.
But Lightning is right.
Human beings can't fight demons
without borrowing demons' power.
And there are good demons as well.
Ah, right. You guys…
Can a few of you help me?
Give me your strongest!
Thanks, I haven't had
the chance to tidy this place up.
It's a garbage dump!
So dirty!
It stinks!
For real? I didn't notice it.
Then let's have some Sylphs air the room.
Sylphies!
I'll treat you to a bonfire later,
so give us a hand.
Wow! The air is so fresh now!
He doesn't follow
the proper procedures at all.
I've never seen that sort of
summoning technique before.
Is that a special lighter?
Not at all.
Sylphs like fire.
You've studied
the diagram of demonic elements, right?
Air has an affinity with fire and water.
You need to know what's better
for your partner, don't you think?
Now, take the books out of these boxes
and start putting them on those shelves.
Yes.
Let's see…
Hey, this isn't playtime.
-It cut me.
-That's no good.
Let's exorcise them.
Exorcise? You're gonna kill them?
You can't be too lenient.
He's so levelheaded.
But Sylphs don't have death verses.
Mortem.
An original death verse?
And it's only a single word.
You're amazing.
You can control demons at will.
As expected from Lightning.
Oh, stop it.
You're Ryuji Suguro, right?
I hear you've already memorized
most of the death verses and scriptures.
I think you'll be a good Exorcist.
But I don't have a reason
to be an Exorcist anymore.
What about defeating Satan?
No.
My reason… My ambition was…
To defeat Satan,
who pulled my family apart,
and bring my family back together.
But everyone's following their own paths.
My ambition no longer has a purpose.
Why am I telling him this?
In order to be an Exorcist,
I need to find a new ambition.
You've got it all backward.
Do you need an ambition
to eat or take a bath too?
I do! Ambition gives you
the strength to move forward!
Why did you become an Exorcist, then?
Don't you have a reason?
When I was little,
a demon killed my entire family.
Just kidding.
What the hell?!
Sorry, this is the real answer.
I have no dreams or grand ambitions.
I don't have a dark past
or an enemy to get revenge on.
If I had to say,
I just love this world.
That's all.
Lightning…
Please make me your disciple!
-Wow! He's prostrating himself.
-What's wrong with you, Suguro?!
Did you use your head too much
and go crazy?
I don't get it myself.
I don't get it,
but I want to learn from him.
I don't wanna.
I'm bad at teaching.
Besides, you're good already.
There's no need for me to teach you.
Yes, there is.
At least let me be your assistant.
Suguro…
Good grief.
I know! If you give me that thing,
I'll make you my disciple.
The Koma Sword.
No way you can have that!
You mean you wouldn't sacrifice yourself
to help a friend?
That's cold.
What are you, the son of Satan?
I am!
Is that so? That's too bad.
For now, finish up cleaning the room.
You two are amazing.
I can't believe this is my bookshelf.
Well then, please take care of the rest.
Yeah, yeah…
What's this?
I'm trapped!
This is…
That takes me back. The Demon Karuta.
They're picture cards
with magic circles and seals on them.
They often use these for
the Aria Certification Exam.
You hear me?
It's good for studying. Wanna try?
No, thanks. I came here to clean up.
You can clean all you want,
I won't still make you my disciple.
Hey!
There's a faster way to convince me.
Right now, it's yours for the taking.
Hey! You still haven't given up on that?
That sword is like Okumura's life.
It's not something to fool around with.
I'll clean this up.
Oh, my.
The Demon Karuta is cursed, you know?
Heaven and Earth, hear me.
Once it's been released,
the ghost'll keep reading chants
until the game's over.
Better hurry, or a demon will be summoned.
Damn it!
Wow! Bingo!
Amazing.
Stop being impressed and do something!
You came here to clean up, didn't you?
Noumaku sanmanda…
What's going on here?
Is he testing me?
-In refrigerium mori piscari…
-Is that English?
It's Latin.
That's impossible!
Amazing! You're so cool, Suguro!
So, he's memorized verses
in other languages, huh?
He is good.
Seems he's already memorized
the placement of the scattered cards too.
He has good eyes and ears.
Graugrab…
Damn it!
I just started learning verses
in other languages.
How long can I keep this up?
And all these verses are for
summoning high-level demons.
If even one gets summoned…
Adhyeracharanhai ki…
-Hindi?! I don't understand at all.
-Mahaan prakaash dekha-mem…
It's all right. Calm down.
Suguro?
I studied firearms, didn't I?
It was for times like these!
I recognize that smell.
This is a nasty one.
The Impure Baron.
It's the lowest of its family,
but it's still an high-level.
I'll show him I can handle
both offense and defense.
Eat this!
Damn it! The miasma!
Lightning! Do something already!
Lightning?
Damn it!
Hey!
My weapons… They're not even weapons!
How can I beat it without firearms?
To get rid of a summoned demon,
you just have to destroy the magic circle.
Back to the basics, am I right?
Also, if you just exorcise
the ghost possessing this game…
It'll be over just like that, see?
You're supposed to be smart.
What happened?
It's over.
I can't ask to be his disciple
after this pathetic display.
I'm sorry.
All right.
I'll make you my disciple.
What?
But why?
You're methodical and straightforward.
I think I can use you.
But you have to be my assistant
outside of school hours.
Whatever you wanna learn,
steal it by watching me.
Got it?
Yes!
Then, first, let's have you
continue cleaning up.
Wash these.
Buy me a hamburger.
Make this lesson plan for me.
I need a shave.
And wash me while you're at it.
Sorry, I punched your master.
You did me a favor.
I just became his disciple
and I was about to do it.
Well, I'm gonna head home.
Yeah.
The Koma Sword…
Someday, let me touch it just once.
Give it up, man.
Do you really like demons that much?
Yeah.
They scare the crap out of me,
but all I want is to get close to them.
It's like falling in love.
Never knew people like you existed.
Rin!
You're late.
I was hungry, so I came to meet you.
Has Yukio come home?
Nope.
I see.
