Blue Exorcist -The Blue Night Saga- (2025) s01e09 Episode Script

Mom, I'm home!
Welcome back, Ryuji.
Very good, Ryuji.
About what?
It's been a while, ma'am.
Welcome, everyone.
I'll show you your rooms, so follow me.
Are the rooms full?
Yes, we have two of our relative families
staying here.
Renzo! Perfect timing. Help us out here!
Kinzo! You're hitting too hard!
-You'll break the mallet!
-I'd rather not…
What did you do to Uncle Renzo, Ten?
Sis! And Rokusuke, too. Long time no see.
Kensuke, you've grown.
Who are these people?
My oldest sister, her husband Rokusuke,
and my nephew and niece.
So you're an uncle?
Don't say that.
Ko… Ko… Ko… Koneko!
-Yumi… You sure haven't changed…
-Why didn't you call me last summer?
-Who's she?
-My youngest sister.
She's seriously got her sights on Koneko.
Who knew Konekomaru
was popular with girls?
I'm back.
Gozo?
He's huge!
Gozo!
Gozo? Gozo!
-Out of my way!
-Why me?!
That was mean!
Who's he?
My second older brother.
He's an Exorcist at an overseas branch.
The Shima family is huge.
It's only been 10 minutes,
and I want to leave.
What's the matter? It's nice and lively.
I want to pound mochi.
Mr. Juzo, thank you very much
for the marriage invitation.
Four-Eyes, thank you for coming.
I hope we can count on your help again.
Is there anything we can do now?
Can you help us make marumochi?
Yes.
But I want to pound the mochi.
Shaping the mochi is fun too, you know?
Suguro's dad!
Dad, I'm home.
Welcome home.
Now, let's get to it!
Put the rice powder on your hands,
grab a chunk of mochi,
then tear it off.
It's so warm and soft.
I've never shaped fresh mochi before.
Mr. Okumura, you're one-handed!
Don't push yourself!
I'm sorry that I can't be more help.
Don't screw with me!
You're the one who always
rushes into things, so why?!
Why are you so hesitant about this?!
Who's the Fraidy Cat now?!
What? What are you so angry about?
I mean…
What's the point of knowing?
Why do you want to know so bad?
You want to know why?
That's…
Hey.
Sorry.
I forgot.
We can never change the way we think.
We're both wrong and both right.
We're brothers,
yet we're never on the same page.
I forgot about that.
Sorry for screaming at you.
Good night, Brother.
Forget about this.
He's been acting that way ever since.
He's got his usual fake smile on, but…
Something's strange.
I feel like something's off.
Yes, that's the USB.
I made digital copies of the documents
and sorted them inside it.
You should get out of bed
and eat a proper meal sometimes.
RYUJI SUGURO
I'll review the documents too.
Got it, Ryuji. Happy New Year.
Happy New Year.
Okay, it's time for me to move.
Hello, this is Arc Knight Lightning.
Tell me Doctor Dragulescu's schedule
over the New Year.
Are you working?
Good work.
No, I'm done now.
I'm going to relax for a bit.
So cold.
It's so lively here
and it's only the 30th.
They'll go crazy on New Year's.
I've marked you with a Sylph Bell.
Damn it! When did he do that?
I can't go back like this.
Can you help me, Yamantaka?
I can burn away the spirit,
but they'll retaliate.
Because its user is stronger than you.
Well, figures.
Since you summoned me, let me cut loose.
Don't be ridiculous.
You have no right to refuse me.
I have been protecting you,
inexperienced as you are.
If you want power,
you would do well to obey me.
This is bad.
Shima.
You can handle Yamantaka now, I see.
Koneko.
I've been wondering about that.
When did you learn to control it?
Well, not until recently.
But I still can't do it very well.
I haven't been training lately,
so I don't have the stamina.
That is the truth.
I remember how you passed out
during the first training session.
You've been avoiding it ever since, huh?
Well, you know…
I inherited this power on a fluke,
because I just happened to be born
when Takezo died.
Is that the rule of inheritance
in the Shima family?
That's right.
And I don't want to be tied down by that.
Though thanks to Yamantaka,
my body is stronger now.
It led to the Illuminati employing me.
Whether I like it or not,
I'll make it mine.
I've always envied you, Koneko.
Since I was little.
If I were you, I could abandon this place
and go live on my own.
How can you say that?
You're incredibly blessed.
How self-indulgent can you be?
It's me who has always envied you.
You have a big family. You're talented.
If I were you…
I'd inherit Daiitoku Myo-o
from the Shima family!
As the master of Yamantaka,
I'd become strong and protect
everyone in Myo-o Dharani.
We should've been born
the other way around.
If only.
We're going to have
a Bacchanal party for Juzo!
What is this, all of a sudden?
A bachelor party!
Juzo!
On the groom's last night as a single man,
we have to spar!
What the heck is that?
Don't give up so easily.
Can't you fight without Yamantaka?
Renzo needs to work out.
What's going on?
Just another day in the Shima household.
Renzo, you need to train more diligently.
Unless you want to die, that is.
-Koneko, still envy me?
-Yes.
Juzo, I'm next.
I knew it wasn't a fluke.
You're special.
How so?
Well, if something happens to you,
I'll pick up your bones on our way back.
Don't just assume that I'm going to die.
NEW YEAR
Don't get separated!
I'll call you one by one!
-Bon!
-Here.
-Renzo!
-Here.
-Neko!
-Here.
-Yumi!
-Here!
-Four-Eyes!
-Here.
And… Kumo?
It's Izumo, but whatever.
-Shiromi!
-Her name is Shiemi.
Where's Shiromi?
Huh?
That Satan boy is gone too!
This is bad! Juzo's gonna kill me!
Rin, everyone's gone.
-We got separated.
-Really?
Crap, I forgot my phone.
I should buy a phone, too.
Well, let's get in line for now.
You're right.
It's the New Year, huh?
It sure is.
A lot happened in one year.
Yeah, though not even
a whole year has passed.
When we came to Kyoto last summer,
I thought everyone hated me.
We didn't.
I know that.
I get why you and Suguro got mad at me
for being reserved now.
But this time,
you didn't tell me anything.
Sorry.
I made you feel the way we did before.
Yukio too.
Rin.
Did something happen?
I…
I don't understand Yukio anymore.
What should I do for him?
I don't know what he's thinking.
Even though he's my little brother.
There they are! Satan and Shiromi!
Why'd you wander off on your own?
I'm the one who'll get yelled at!
He's so loud.
My name's not Satan!
And her name is not Shiromi!
Huh? What are you, then?
-A yolk?
-What?!
Now it's done.
Big Sis Mamushi looks so pretty.
You really are beautiful,
Mamushi.
She's really pretty.
-I'm sure the grandkids will be too.
-This is great.
It feels like family.
Don't you think, Yukio?
I guess.
Daisai Gedatsufuku Musou
Fukudenne Hibumyougyou Koudoshoshujou…
The time has finally come.
It's been a long time.
Can I still perform a wedding?
Do your best, at least for today.
You're not as hard as you used to be.
Is that so?
It's just the hair, isn't it?
No. I'm sure of it.
Is that so?
I heard you're the disciple
of a big-shot Exorcist now.
Someone by the name of Lightning?
You knew?
Shima and the others mentioned it.
At first, there was quite a commotion.
Bon's a disciple?
To who? Not just anyone can be his master!
What? Lightning?
He's amazing!
As expected of Bon!
They calmed down after
hearing who your master was.
Those guys…
I assume he's a good master, right?
-I guess so.
-Huh?
Dad.
You knew Shiro Fujimoto, right?
Why do you ask?
My bad.
It's nothing.
Suguro.
Your mother is calling for you.
Sorry, we were just talking.
Bon, I'll take over here.
Gozo.
Thank you, Gozo.
You must be busy.
Yes, after the ceremony,
I'll return to work right away.
So, can we talk about that matter?
Have you found out anything?
No, we're researching at the
underground library of the India branch,
but we have yet to find a way to summon
a demon that has possessed someone else.
I see.
Then we'll have to exorcise Karura
from Todo directly and summon it again.
However, according to the report
that Renzo gave to the Order's higher-ups,
Saburota Todo, who appeared in Aomori,
had Karura bonded closely with him.
What?
When that is the case,
exorcism could damage Karura as well.
We must hurry.
Good work today.
Where is everyone else?
I don't know.
Mom probably made them do chores.
She told me to go ahead and take a seat.
Even my mom would feel reserved
towards you.
After all, you're our teacher.
Suguro.
Yes?
Is there something you want to know
about our father?
A few weeks ago, you visited the
monastery where we grew up, right?
What is Lightning investigating?
TRUE CROSS ORDER, ROMANIA BRANCH
K.R.C. LABORATORY
Happy New Year, Doctor Dragulescu.
I waited for you to show up alone.
Working over New Year's, huh?
Me too.
Lightning?
What is the meaning of this?
How shameless of you.
You're connected to the Illuminati, right?
Have you gone mad?
Cut the act, would you?
I don't know where
you got that information.
If you think like that because
I was director of Section 13,
then you're mistaken!
I did a Morinath Contract!
How could I cooperate with the Illuminati?
That's the mystery.
As long as I can solve it,
it'll be perfect.
Since you fit
my idea of a traitor exactly.
Few people could stay at the same job
killing so many for over a decade.
You accuse me based on such vague reasons?
You think it doesn't torture me?
Talk is cheap, you know.
Still, it's true that I'll need proof
to convince others.
-What--
-Teyonebuse…
Et cetera.
You know my other nickname, right?
-Stop!
-The Torturer.
Mortem!
As expected.
I got what I came for, so I'm leaving.
You won't get away with this!
I'm going to report you!
They'll lock you up, Lightning!
You're dangerous!
Then you better hurry.
Because I plan to prosecute you.
An old monk named Misumi died.
Soon after Lightning's visit.
Surely…
it has nothing to do with you, does it?
I can't tell you anything.
I'm sorry.
No.
I'm sorry for pressing you.
I should have known.
You can't simply spill the contents
of a top-secret investigation.
And now a toast to celebrate!
Cheers!
How many times do I have
to make this toast?
Cheers!
-Kiss! Kiss!
-Not in front of everyone!
That hurt!
Don't embarrass me like that!
That's not for the public!
Tomorrow?!
I know it's sudden,
but I want it done by tomorrow morning.
I emailed a rough draft.
It's in English,
but I believe you'll manage.
Wait!
What the heck?
What is he up to now?
Sorry, but I need to know.
Mr. Okumura?
What do you know about how
my brother and I were born?
Did he always have this look in his eyes?
Tell me what you know.
Are you really going to shoot me?
What's gotten into me?
Sorry.
Maybe I drank alcohol by mistake.
Forget about this.
Hold on! Has something happened?
I'm really sorry.
Don't apologize! Tell me what's going on!
I'm your superior.
Let go of me.
Can you stop this already?
I told you to get advice, not to threaten.
Advice?
From whom?
Suguro? You? Or my brother?
Getting advice won't solve anything.
Because everyone is different.
Yes?
Yukio, return immediately!
We're shorthanded!
The heck?! Cyclops!
Turn on the TV!
What's going on?
-Seriously?!
-They better evacuate fast!
Yuki!
What's headquarters doing?
Has a high-level demon ever
appeared in the city like that?
Not that I can remember.
