Blue Exorcist -The Blue Night Saga- (2025) s01e07 Episode Script

We're interviewing people
from the Japan branch
who changed jobs after the Blue Night.
Mr. Nagatomo and Mr. Kyodo,
prior to the Blue Night,
you were Exorcists, correct?
Yes.
Mr. Misumi.
Yes?
Before the Blue Night,
you were a security guard
at True Cross Academy.
But you were once a leading figure
in genomic drug research
at True Cross University.
Yet despite this, you stayed
a security guard for 22 years.
And now you've been a monk for 16 years,
what an unusual life you've had.
What happened to you?
Please tell me everything.
Mr. Misumi…
He isn't feeling well.
Please leave for now.
Kyodo, see them out.
You have no shame in disguising yourselves
as clergymen all this time.
Rather than cry,
you should tell me the truth.
If I talk, they'll kill me.
Not just me, but everyone!
Come forth, Silvestre…
Et cetera.
Circular Saw.
-You've lived long enough.
-Stop!
So before you die, do the world a favor--
I can't let you go any further.
He's a human.
Thank you.
I went a bit too far.
Sorry about that.
It's fine.
Wait.
You're right.
I want to confess before I die.
Mr. Misumi, don't!
I… I was working in Section 13.
On Elixirs…
Death…
Kin of time.
Mr. Misumi!
As expected, a Morinath Contract.
Thank you, Mr. Misumi.
I won't let your death go to waste.
I don't know about Section 13,
but Elixirs are potions for immortality.
Finally, we've got a lead
on the Illuminati.
You can't!
The master is bathing right now.
You pervert!
Belial! How could you let this pervert--
This seal was on a man
who died this morning.
I can't find it in any
records or documents.
Death is the kin of the King of Time,
AKA you.
Unofficial Morinath Contracts
are against the Order's rules.
I'll sue you for sexual assault.
What is Section 13?
Were you experimenting with Elixirs?
Or are you still doing it?
I suppose you're looking for immortality
since your body became like this.
That's an outrageous accusation.
Oh, you want to play like that?
I could take this to a hearing, then?
Fine.
I don't want any trouble now,
so I'll tell you where
the treasure you seek is.
Just place the key in the hand.
But I recommend going when it's dark
to avoid someone noticing.
Place the key in the hand?
What did he mean by that?
The cram school mostly adopted the design
of Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain.
There's a legend in that palace.
The king who built the palace
made a contract with a demon
to use its magic to hide his treasure.
When the contract ends,
a hand engraved in the gate of judgment
will reach to seize the key.
At that moment,
the palace shall crumble,
and the treasure will appear.
Like that.
The hand and the key are…
God protects the souls
of those who believe in Him.
He spares them from suffering.
It hasn't even been a year
since Pops died.
Wasn't it raining that day too?
Yeah.
Damn.
It's too late for regrets.
Mr. Misumi was ready for that.
There was no way we could win
against Lightning the Arc Knight.
We couldn't stop him.
Mom.
Grandma, you, and Yuki always
took care of me in this little world.
You all protected me,
so my life has been peaceful and happy.
But since I went to the cram school,
I've made friends.
I've had happy, sad, fun, and tough times.
I've experienced so many different things.
Everyone showed me how big the world is.
For the past nine months,
I've been totally absorbed in it.
I want to live in that world.
So please let me take
the Exorcist Certification Exam.
I see.
You've gotten stronger.
Okay. If you're that determined,
I have something to tell you too.
Huh?
I think you can handle it now.
If you still want to take the exam
after you heard my story,
then I won't stop you.
This place…
Is this the cram school?
Incredible!
I believe this is its predecessor,
the Exorcist Training School,
also known as Asylum.
Asylum.
Both Shiro Fujimoto and the current
Paladin, Arthur, came from here.
But they disbanded it 16 years ago.
Because it was ground zero
for the Blue Night.
Sir Pheles really is amazing.
Ever since the Blue Night,
he's stored Asylum
in a different dimension?
Oh?
Are you not bothered
by what happened earlier?
I really feel bad
for what happened to that old man.
I have a grandfather myself,
so it pains me.
You're lying.
Correct.
I'm unable to feel empathy for others.
I was born emotionally defective.
I'm actually way better than I used to be.
As a child, I was violent and
only interested in demon research.
So other people were scared
and called me a demon.
But I like humans more than demons.
I like everything about this world.
I'll do anything to protect this world.
One reason I took you as my disciple is
because you're a decent human being.
I get anxious if I don't have someone
with me who can make proper decisions.
But if you come any further,
you'll be unable to return.
If you want to quit, now's the time.
This is your master's last warning.
I'll be your brakes.
I've come too far to leave you alone.
I'll follow you till the end.
You really are a masochist.
Or is that the so-called samurai spirit?
Hara-kiri and all that?
You're laughing at me?
But thanks.
You're a big help.
Let's go.
This place took in orphans with temptaint
and blood relatives of demons.
Raised those who were suitable
as Exorcists.
But that was just a facade.
Examination tables.
Maybe it's just a medical facility?
Look closely.
Those are for childbirth.
This is weird.
Is this the research archives?
Serum drug discovery
experimentation logbook.
What is this?
They were experimenting on humans with
a drug that revitalizes life functions.
In other words, this might be
connected to Elixir experiments.
Lucifer?
No way.
Lightning!
What's wrong, Ryuji?
Let's get this straight.
In short,
until it was destroyed in the Blue Night,
Asylum was a cover
for a research facility called Section 13.
There, illegal human experiments
were conducted for Elixir research
and clones of the Demon Kings
were mass-produced.
What do you mean? Demon Kings?
Lu… Lucifer.
Lu, Lu, Lu…
Sm?
Samael.
Sm, Sm, Sm, Sm…
Az?
Ryuji, I need some light.
What is it?
This is a log of the experiments
performed on the clones.
I suspect…
Wait!
Amaimon?
Are you sure?
Looks exactly like him.
Does this mean that the Order was
making vessels for the Baal?
No way.
This is what Sir Pheles did on his own…
The upper echelon didn't know
about this, did they?
If they did, we're really working
for an evil organization.
However, it's too soon
to jump to a conclusion.
Though the possibility alone
is terrifying.
Old Man. No, the real problem is…
Come forth, Seth!
Amshir! Et cetera!
Good grief.
Mephisto?
They were sleeping so peacefully.
But you two are really noisy.
You guys look terrible.
I think you need a bath.
What are you doing?
We were still gathering information.
And I don't like baths.
Losing your composure isn't like you.
I don't hate when you act like a human.
You can come and go there at will.
Investigate all you want.
What do you want?
Why did you show us that place?
I'm just trying to make my case.
Since you're so persistent.
Neither I nor the Order
have anything to do with the Illuminati.
Nor do we have anything
to do with Lucifer.
The power structure in Gehenna is simple.
The Lucifer faction views humans
as enemies,
and the Order's faction cooperates
with humans.
They've long been at odds with each other.
Of course, I'm on the Order's side.
After what we just saw, I can't trust you.
Then let me tell you an old story.
In ancient times, we, the Baal,
were mere conceptual beings.
Along with the development of
human civilization,
we began to take on distinct forms.
We even gained flesh and blood.
You probably wouldn't understand
since you take it for granted,
but for us,
gaining a body was quite the shock.
After acquiring egos and
growing drunk on the senses,
we could no longer
go back to living without bodies.
However, flesh doesn't last forever.
Magic can accelerate cell regeneration.
But kings like us
deteriorate more rapidly.
Which means we can physically die.
Even if the flesh died, we would continue
to exist for eternity as concepts.
That was a truly cruel fate.
Especially for Lucifer,
whose bodies deteriorate most rapidly,
lasting not even 10 years.
He took out his stress on humans
and convinced his siblings to attack them.
He plagued them with war, flood,
and sickness for many years.
Some kings, myself included,
feared that humans would go extinct,
so we bestowed upon them
the knowledge to fight demons.
That's the beginning of
the Knights of the True Cross.
And then, about a hundred years ago.
Lucifer finally snapped.
I have reached my limit.
It's time to return all to nothing.
Calm down, Big Brother.
You wouldn't understand.
Because you can use time
to sustain yourself longer.
It is painful…
to have a body.
Why is this world so cruel and unfair?
It should be more equal.
So what do you want to do?
I will kill myself.
Releasing the full extent of my power
and destroying this planet.
We would all revert to mere concepts.
The world would no longer know
inequality and suffering.
Lucifer! I sympathize with you,
but you must not force this on others.
Hold on.
Big Brother, have you heard of
biological cloning?
What is that?
What if we could get a new body easily
after the old body failed?
Wouldn't there be a benefit to allowing
humanity and this world to survive?
Let's establish a secret research facility
at my Japan branch.
To relieve your suffering.
Thus, I founded Section 13
under the guise of Asylum.
Cloning research began, bringing together
the world's best researchers.
However, as we found out when we created
the clones, they are not perfect replicas.
The soul residing within them
is a separate entity.
No matter how excellent the body,
not all of them could become possessed.
We needed a new means to appease Lucifer.
Let's research Elixirs.
In other words, we would create
enhanced and immortal human beings.
The Elixir experiments were
extremely fiendish.
Miraculously, we were able
to create a body for Amaimon.
But not for Lucifer,
whose need was more dire.
One day, the strongest
enhanced human was born.
However, what possessed it wasn't Lucifer.
You might say it was Gehenna itself,
the realm that had birthed us.
By the time we realized
that it was a gargantuan concept,
it was already far too late.
Satan.
Correct.
That was the moment when
the Okumura brothers' father
entered this world.
And when it acquired an ego,
the Blue Night occurred.
It destroyed the research facility.
Almost everyone involved died that night.
I thought I understood.
But it truly is a heavy fate they bear.
Those two are caught up
in this massive maelstrom.
We awoke from a dream.
We meant to bury the project in darkness.
However, my brother never gave up.
He took the research results in secret
and continued to develop Elixir.
However, I don't think he was able to
take the results himself.
So there must be a traitor
within the Order who is working with him.
Of course.
And that traitor…
is our buddy Mephisto.
Since when was I your "buddy"?
Let me ask something else.
The Arc Knights, the Paladin.
How many in the upper echelon
know about Section 13?
Angel lost his memory in the Blue Night.
-Lost his memory?
-Yes.
He made a Morinath Contract just in case,
but he remembers little from
before the Blue Night.
The only Arc Knight involved
was Doctor Drac Dragulescu.
I believe he's listed as deceased
under the pseudonym Nicolae Eminescu.
At the time, he was the central figure
in Elixir research.
Of course, he also took the contract.
There's no way to dissolve the contract.
And it would be difficult to cooperate
with the Illuminati while it's in effect.
Time's up.
Ponder the information you got,
make your deductions,
and reveal the traitor, Mr. Detective.
With pleasure.
Please, wait!
What is this place?
Lightning!
What are you doing here?
