    - He went that way!
    - There he is! Corner him!
[00:07] ---
    Exorcists? Did something happen?
[00:10] ---
    It's not safe for civilians, so please get indoors.
[00:14] ---
    O-Of course. Let's go, Satoru.
[00:17] ---
    Exorcists?
[00:18] ---
    I wanna see the exorcists fight!
[00:22] ---
    - Satoru!
    - It's not safe! Stay back!
[00:24] ---
    You're in danger, come back!
[00:28] ---
    Satoru!
[00:30] ---
    Damn! He's taken a hostage!
[00:33] ---
    S-Stop there!
[00:36] ---
    Let the boy go!
[00:37] ---
    This is a dead end.
    Threatening him won't do you any good.
[00:42] ---
    D-Don't do it!
SIGN    Episode 1: Small Beginnings
[01:01] ---
    They're such a pretty blue...
[01:03] ---
    This is hopeless.
    I can't get the hang of it.
[01:06] ---
    Crap...
[01:09] ---
    Unbelievable...
    I don't see any improvement at all.
[01:13] ---
    Shura?
[01:14] ---
    Morning, Rin...
[01:18] ---
    You found me?
    I've been training in secret...
[01:22] ---
    I knew you've been training
    up here every morning.
[01:26] ---
    What? Seriously?
[01:27] ---
    Well, duh. My job is to monitor you
    as a potential threat.
[01:33] ---
    Didn't I say not to burn them all?
[01:35] ---
    You're supposed to light the two on the sides
    simultaneously while avoiding the middle one.
[01:38] ---
    I know that!
[01:40] ---
    If your flames ever go out of control again,
    you'll be executed as an exorcism target.
[01:52] ---
    Start by getting control of your flames.
    Don't draw your Koma Sword until you do.
[02:02] ---
    Understood.
[02:04] ---
    Let's get moving, Rin.
[02:08] ---
    The area beyond this line
    is extremely dangerous!
[02:10] ---
    Everyone, stand back!
    Please stand back!
[02:13] ---
    Good work.
[02:14] ---
    Okumura? Thanks for coming.
[02:19] ---
    I'm sorry to take so long.
[02:21] ---
    I'm Yukio Okumura,
    Intermediate Exorcist First Class.
[02:23] ---
    I'm Kirigakure, Senior Exorcist First Class.
[02:27] ---
    And who's that?
[02:30] ---
    Who, me?
[02:31] ---
    Rin? What are you doing here?
[02:32] ---
    I'm Rin Okumura, Exorcist ExWire!
[02:36] ---
    I'm here to save the day!
[02:38] ---
    Isn't he the... you know?
    Is that a good idea?
[02:42] ---
    Law Enforcement Division's orders.
    I can't let him out of my sight.
[02:46] ---
    I'll keep a tight rein on him,
    so you can trust him.
[02:50] ---
    Could someone tell us what happened?
[02:52] ---
    P-Please, allow me—
[02:53] ---
    Please, you need to rest!
[02:55] ---
    Let me explain what happened.
[02:57] ---
    I'm Saburota Todo, Senior Exorcist Second Class
    and Deep Keep director.
[03:02] ---
    This all began when the Left Eye
    of the Impure King was stolen
[03:06] ---
    from where it had been sealed away
    in the deepest regions of the academy.
[03:09] ---
    - The Impure King's...
    - ...Left Eye? What the heck's that?
[03:13] ---
    Stole it? How?
[03:15] ---
    The Deep Keep should be the most
    densely warded area in the entire school.
[03:20] ---
    It's unclear how he broke in and stole it.
[03:24] ---
    The elite of the Deep Keep, myself included,
[03:26] ---
    pursued a man in a gas mask,
    who we believed to be the thief, into this alley.

[03:32] ---
    Don't do it!
[03:33] ---
    The man used a boy
    as a human shield, and then...

[03:40] ---
    - Mommy!
    - Satoru!
[03:42] ---
    He took the boy and fled into that building,
    where he's still holed up.
[03:47] ---
    To make matters worse, a large quantity of miasma
    has been released into the area,
[03:50] ---
    and 31 people, including civilians,
    have been contaminated.
[03:54] ---
    There aren't enough Doctors to help them.
[03:57] ---
    The boy took the full brunt of the miasma
    when it came out of the flask.
[04:01] ---
    There's a strong possibility his life is in danger.
[04:04] ---
    And if the Left Eye gets stolen,
    this will be the biggest fiasco
[04:07] ---
    in the history of the Order of the True Cross!
[04:11] ---
    Look, Yukio, what's the deal
    with this Left Eye thing? I don't—
[04:13] ---
    Please remain calm.
    We'll do everything we can.
[04:17] ---
    Is this gasmasked guy tough?
[04:19] ---
    Well, that's unclear as well.
[04:22] ---
    He only ran; he never fought back.
    We don't even know if he's a demon or a human.
[04:29] ---
    In any case, we must hurry.
    First, Ms. Kiragakure and I will—
[04:33] ---
    Excuse me...
[04:34] ---
    Is there any news about my son?
[04:38] ---
    You're the abducted kid's mom?
    We're on the case, so rest easy!
[04:43] ---
    We'll get him back safe and sound!
    You have my—
[04:47] ---
    We can't guarantee the safety of your son.
[04:50] ---
    You should prepare yourself for the worst.
[04:54] ---
    Oh, no...
[04:56] ---
    Hey, Yukio!
[04:58] ---
    Shura, keep an eye on my brother.
[05:00] ---
    Will do. Actually, I just remembered
    something I need to do. Let's go, Rin.
[05:05] ---
    Screw that, I'm coming with you!
[05:10] ---
    Exorcists aren't perfect!
[05:12] ---
    We can't always save everyone!
[05:14] ---
    Don't make promises you can't keep!
[05:16] ---
    Don't jump to any conclusions
    before we even try! You chicken!
[05:20] ---
    - Okay, that's enough of that.
    - Hey! Leggo, Boobzilla!
[05:28] ---
    Damn it all...
[05:31] ---
    Okumura?
[05:33] ---
    Mr. Todo?
[05:34] ---
    Please let me go with you.
[05:37] ---
    How are you?
[05:38] ---
    I've been inoculated, so I'm fine.
    As the man in charge, I'd like to take part.
[05:42] ---
    I understand. Let's go.
[05:47] ---
    Okumura, you might come from
    a complicated background,
[05:51] ---
    but I hear you're quite accomplished
    for someone your age.
[05:54] ---
    Not at all. You're from a distinguished
    line of Exorcists, aren't you, Mr. Todo?
[05:58] ---
    They say the Todo family has had close ties
    to the Deep Keep for generations.
[06:02] ---
    Yes...
[06:04] ---
    So, what's with this "Left Eye" thing?
[06:08] ---
    Rin!
[06:09] ---
    What are you doing here? Where's Shura?
[06:11] ---
    I managed to give her the slip.
[06:15] ---
    I gave my word to the kid's mom
    that we'd save him.
[06:18] ---
    I can't stand by and do nothing!
[06:21] ---
    Want me to carry that bird for you?
[06:25] ---
    Fine, carry it. Just don't do anything else.
[06:29] ---
    What the heck is this bird for?
[06:31] ---
    It's a pseudo-canary.
    It will stop chirping when it senses any miasma.
[06:36] ---
    It stopped right when you started talking.
[06:42] ---
    There he is!
[06:46] ---
    The kid's still alive!
[06:47] ---
    He's in critical condition, though.
    We have to hurry.
[06:52] ---
    Don't move!
[06:57] ---
    Another step and I'll shoot!
[07:04] ---
    He disappeared?
[07:09] ---
    Hey, are you okay?
[07:15] ---
    It's a fake!
[07:17] ---
    Yukio!
[07:21] ---
    Mr. Todo?
[07:24] ---
    If you've figured it out, I guess that's that.
    I'll buy as much time as I can.
[07:30] ---
    A demon? He's gone over!
[07:33] ---
    Rin, that boy's life is hanging by a thread.
    Hurry and get him out of here!
[07:38] ---
    Got it!
[07:40] ---
    Now, now.
    I can't have you running off just yet.
[07:45] ---
    Back off!
[07:49] ---
    - Rin!
    - You should be... focusing on me.
[07:53] ---
    When I look at you,
    it's like I'm looking at my past self.
[07:58] ---
    As far as I can remember,
    I'd been on a track fate had laid out for me,
[08:01] ---
    unable to even vent the doubts I had for years,
[08:05] ---
    and I worked my whole life like a good dog
    for the good of the Order, of my family.
[08:09] ---
    I wanted to be like my father.
    Like my big brother.
[08:13] ---
    But what do I have to show for it
    after a life of that?
[08:18] ---
    Nothing.
[08:20] ---
    So I decided to admit to myself
    that my feelings were true.
[08:24] ---
    My father, my brother, the Order...
    That I hated everything in this world.
[08:31] ---
    And you know what?
[08:33] ---
    When I admitted that to myself,
    it felt so wonderful.
[08:36] ---
    Like a piece of me that was always missing
    finally fit into place.
[08:40] ---
    It just means you're weak.
    That you gave in to a demon's temptation!
[08:44] ---
    There is weakness lurking
    in the hearts of all men.
[08:47] ---
    Are you afraid to acknowledge yours?
[08:53] ---
    Well, it's about time I go.
[08:55] ---
    I enjoyed this unexpected chat
    I got to have with you and your brother.
[09:00] ---
    Even if you don't understand them now,
    my words will wend their way through your body.
[09:07] ---
    When the day comes, I will welcome you
    with open arms, Yukio Okumura.
[09:12] ---
    Wait!
[09:17] ---
    Yukio!
[09:19] ---
    Y-Yukio, he's... What should we do?
[09:23] ---
    The sporangia must've been
    burned by your flames
[09:24] ---
    and then rapidly multiplied
    to try to repair themselves.
[09:27] ---
    We'll never get him to help in time.
    I'll treat him here!
[09:39] ---
    I can't like this!
[09:42] ---
    Yukio?
[09:43] ---
    Hey, is that safe?
[09:45] ---
    - I can do—
    - Don't do anything!
[09:50] ---
    I have to inject the vaccine directly into
    the cell walls without bursting the sporangia!

[09:54] ---
    Stay focused...
[09:56] ---
    My hands!
[10:00] ---
    Why are they trembling? This is...
[10:04] ---
    ...just like when I was a kid!
[10:06] ---
    I was so scared of demons,
    I could only stand there shaking and cry!

[10:09] ---
    This is just like then!
[10:11] ---
    I wanted to be like my father.
    Like my big brother.

[10:15] ---
    But what do I have to show for it
    after a lifetime of that?

[10:18] ---
    Nothing.
[10:20] ---
    There is weakness lurking
    in the hearts of all men.

[10:23] ---
    Are you afraid to acknowledge yours?
[10:27] ---
    Yukio!
[10:30] ---
    Like hell I am!
[10:32] ---
    I'm not like you!
[10:47] ---
    Satoru!
[10:49] ---
    Mommy?
[10:50] ---
    Thank you so much!
[10:52] ---
    It was nothing.
[10:57] ---
    That's our Mr. Okumura!
    First-class work all around.
[11:01] ---
    Mephisto!
[11:02] ---
    Goodness, what a mess.
    This little incident seems to have been a diversion.
[11:08] ---
    The real Left Eye was stolen.
[11:11] ---
    I have my familiar tracking it right now.
[11:14] ---
    When did you—
[11:15] ---
    That Todo geezer seemed fishy,
    so I did some digging and my hunch was right.
[11:20] ---
    And one other thing.
    We don't have any details just yet,
[11:25] ---
    but it seems there was also a ruckus
    over the Right Eye at our Kyoto field office.
[11:31] ---
    This is a dire situation indeed.
[11:34] ---
    Look, would someone please explain
    what this "Right Eye" and "Left Eye"—
[11:36] ---
    In any event,
[11:37] ---
    we must assemble a crack team to retrieve
    the Left Eye and begin tracking it at once.
[11:43] ---
    Mr. Okumura, I'm putting you on the team.
[11:46] ---
    Me, sir?
[11:47] ---
    Yes, of course.
[11:49] ---
    As we still don't know our enemy's goal,
[11:51] ---
    I want you on this mission as the only one
    who has had direct contact with him.
[11:55] ---
    Understood.
[11:57] ---
    Very well, meet me in one hour
    in the center of the base.
[12:01] ---
    Shura, keep an eye on my brother.
[12:03] ---
    You got it.
[12:05] ---
    Sheesh, that 15-year-old is such
    a grumpy old man on the inside.
[12:08] ---
    He's so gonna go bald young.
[12:10] ---
    Hey, Yukio!
[12:12] ---
    I'm gonna make you eat my dust, you hear?
[12:16] ---
    Just watch me!
[12:18] ---
    You, make me?
[12:22] ---
    I doubt that.
    Those jokes must sound funnier in your head.
[12:26] ---
    What?
[12:27] ---
    As you can see, I'm busy.
[12:30] ---
    I can't babysit you 24/7.
[12:33] ---
    That's right...
[12:35] ---
    I'm me.
[12:38] ---
    That stupid jerk!
[12:40] ---
    I'm gonna surprise you so bad
    your jaw's gonna hit the floor!
[12:51] ---
    I didn't get to go on my junior high field trip,
    so this'll be my first time in Kyoto!
[12:56] ---
    There'll be a banana
    in my snack pack, right?
[12:59] ---
    You're so excited, it's almost entertaining...
[13:03] ---
    This ain't a pleasure trip. Go on, get in.
[13:09] ---
    So, where should I sit?
[13:11] ---
    Read the room, kid. Take a seat up front.
[13:15] ---
    I'm gonna go up to Car 3
    to see how the inoculations are coming along.
[13:20] ---
    So keep your butt in that seat
    and don't cause any trouble.
[13:22] ---
    Got it.
[13:24] ---
    Right, then...
[13:27] ---
    No way! Kyoto Tower?
[13:30] ---
    They've got a tower in Kyoto, too?
[13:32] ---
    Man, I gotta hold in my excitement!
[13:38] ---
    Rin...
[13:43] ---
    Shiemi!
[13:46] ---
    What's wrong with me?
    I can't talk! Why?

[13:52] ---
    Huh?
[13:55] ---
    Suguro! Miwa! Shima! Good morning!
[13:58] ---
    Good morning.
[13:59] ---
    Good morning, Moriyama!
[14:01] ---
    Morning! Ms. Kirigakure said to go
    to Car 3 to get inoculated!
[14:06] ---
    Oh. Right.
[14:08] ---
    Hey, guys! I'm glad to see you're okay!
[14:12] ---
    Hey, did you know about this
    "Kyoto Tower" place?
[14:15] ---
    Oh, duh. You guys are from Kyoto!
[14:18] ---
    You gotta tell me what other places
    I should check out!
[14:22] ---
    Bon, let it go.
[14:24] ---
    I know!
[14:28] ---
    Konekomaru!
[14:32] ---
    Koneko! Be less subtle, why don'tcha?
[14:35] ---
    Wh-Why is he here like nothing happened?
[14:38] ---
    What're they gonna do
    if he goes on another rampage?
[14:41] ---
    It's what the bigwigs decided.
[14:44] ---
    Just let sleeping dogs lie.
[14:46] ---
    How can you be
    so laid-back about this, Shima?
[14:51] ---
    They're looking at me
    like I'm some kinda mad dog...

[14:54] ---
    Can't say I blame 'em, though.
[14:58] ---
    This is how anybody would react, isn't it?
[15:04] ---
    Izumo! Why don't you sit over here?
[15:15] ---
    What is it?
[15:16] ---
    Nothing...
[15:21] ---
    Okay, your attention, please!
[15:23] ---
    I'm Shura Kirigakure,
    unwilling backup team leader.
[15:27] ---
    Let's start off with a rundown
    of the situation.
[15:30] ---
    Early this morning
    at the Order's Deep Keep installation,
[15:33] ---
    parties unknown stole
    the Left Eye of the Impure King,
[15:36] ---
    sealed there as a designated
    Special Hazard Demon Part.
[15:40] ---
    We know that the thief
    was working under the orders
[15:42] ---
    of former Deep Keep director
    Senior Second Class Exorcist Saburota Todo,
[15:46] ---
    but his objectives and accomplices remain unknown,
    and our investigations are ongoing.
[15:50] ---
    Furthermore, the Kyoto field office's
    Deep Keep off to the west
[15:54] ---
    was also attacked by someone
    at the same time.
[15:57] ---
    That attempt was foiled,
[15:59] ---
    but their target
    was the Impure King's Right Eye.
[16:02] ---
    Excuse me, what are
    the Impure King's Left and Right Eyes?
[16:05] ---
    We haven't studied him.
[16:07] ---
    Not surprising,
    he isn't considered one of the biggies.
[16:10] ---
    The Impure King is an upper-level demon
    said to have spread plagues in the Late Edo Period.
[16:15] ---
    At the time, it claimed more than 40,000 lives.
[16:18] ---
    His Right Eye and Left Eye are said to have been
    plucked out by a priest named Fukaku
[16:23] ---
    as proof that he defeated him.
[16:25] ---
    Even the eyes by themselves emit powerful miasma,
    and are extremely dangerous items.
[16:30] ---
    What the heck was that Fukaku guy thinking?
    Was he that eager to show off?
[16:35] ---
    The Impure King...
[16:37] ---
    In any case, although the enemy's
    objectives remain a mystery,
[16:40] ---
    it's clear he intends to use
    the Right and Left Eyes for nefarious purposes.
[16:44] ---
    The Kyoto field office is guarding the Right Eye,
    so it's possible it'll be attacked again.
[16:48] ---
    In short, our mission is to tend to the Exorcists
    who were injured at the Kyoto field office
[16:53] ---
    and to beef up their weakened security.
[16:55] ---
    You ExWires will be helping with that.
[16:58] ---
    So let's all work together and do our best.
[17:01] ---
    And now, please give me
    some peace and quiet...
[17:09] ---
    Aren't you afraid of me?
[17:12] ---
    Me? Afraid of you?
    Why in the world would I be afraid of you?
[17:15] ---
    You apparently don't know this,
[17:17] ---
    but lots of people in this world
    have mixed human-demon heritage.
[17:21] ---
    In fact, there are a ton of Exorcists who do.
[17:23] ---
    Wh-What, really?
[17:25] ---
    So everybody's problem with you
    is just that you're Satan's son.
[17:30] ---
    The Order hasn't figured out if it's a pro or a con
    to have a son of Satan among their ranks,
[17:34] ---
    so that's why they haven't killed you.
[17:36] ---
    So stop making a big fuss like an idiot
    over such a little thing all the time!
[17:43] ---
    Eyebrows...
[17:45] ---
    "Eyebrows"?
[17:47] ---
    Eyebrows, are you trying to cheer me up?
[17:50] ---
    I knew it, you're a nice person after all, aren't you?
[17:53] ---
    Why would you say that? I am not!
[17:55] ---
    And my name is Izumo Kamiki,
    thank you very much!
[17:58] ---
    Don't give people weird nicknames!
[18:01] ---
    Thanks for that, Izumo.
[18:05] ---
    We... We're not on a first-name basis!
[18:07] ---
    Put a sock in it, you two! I can't sleep!
[18:13] ---
    I hate cowards who spout silly sap
    like "To defeat Satan!" or "For my friends!"
[18:19] ---
    and then get cold feet
    when things get tough, that's all!
[18:23] ---
    I decide to stay out of it,
    and you start mouthing off!
[18:26] ---
    Who are you calling a coward?
[18:28] ---
    What are you, then?
[18:30] ---
    Cut it out! We're supposed to be teammates!
[18:33] ---
    Teammates?
[18:34] ---
    Suguro! Believe in me!
[18:37] ---
    Believe in you?
[18:39] ---
    How can I do that?
[18:47] ---
    Konekomaru!
[18:52] ---
    Stop it!
[19:12] ---
    Guys! Are you okay?
[19:14] ---
    Why?
[19:16] ---
    What's the spawn of Satan doing here?
[19:22] ---
    Don't be such a drama queen, Suguro!
[19:24] ---
    Don't let my looks fool you,
    I'm not that different from a regular human!
[19:29] ---
    I-I'm not doing a great job
    of convincing you, huh?
[19:33] ---
    Wh-Why? Why are you laughing?
[19:39] ---
    There's nothing funny about this!
[19:43] ---
    Shiemi...
[19:46] ---
    My brother...
[19:47] ---
    Fifteen years ago, he was born the child
    of Satan and a human mother.
[19:54] ---
    And he has inherited the power
    of Satan's blue flames.
[19:58] ---
    Um... If I remember correctly,
    you're Okumura's twin brother, aren't you?
[20:04] ---
    But I didn't inherit the blue flames.
[20:07] ---
    Every day, I undergo an examination...
[20:10] ---
    But strangely enough,
    I'm just a normal human being.
[20:12] ---
    Rin Okumura's flames were sealed away
    inside the Koma Sword by the man who raised us,
[20:18] ---
    and as a result,
    he lived a relatively normal life for 15 years.
[20:22] ---
    Eventually, the Koma Sword
    could no longer contain his sealed power,
[20:24] ---
    and it was about three months ago
    that he awoke to it.
[20:27] ---
    Three months ago...
[20:29] ---
    Until then, Rin himself had grown up
    without knowing who he was.
[20:33] ---
    What for? What was he hoping
    to get out of raising him?
[20:38] ---
    As to that... I don't know, either.
[20:49] ---
    On the Blue Night 16 years ago,
[20:52] ---
    the followers at my temple
    died in those blue flames.
[20:55] ---
    Blue flames can kill people!
[20:57] ---
    My grandpa!
[20:59] ---
    And Shima's grandpa and oldest brother!
    And Konekomaru's dad!
[21:04] ---
    What?
[21:06] ---
    The followers at my temple
    are like family to me!
[21:10] ---
    How do you expect me to trust you
    after what you did to my family?
[21:14] ---
    I'm sorry you went through that.
[21:16] ---
    But so what?
    That's got nothing to do with me!
[21:21] ---
    Bon!
[21:22] ---
    Oh, right... You said you were
    gonna defeat Satan, right?
[21:27] ---
    Damn right!
    So don't lump me in with him!
[21:33] ---
    Are you two gonna go at each other's throats
    when you're under fire?
[21:38] ---
    You'll die.
[21:42] ---
    Exorcists can't fight alone.
[21:45] ---
    Maybe you should learn how to work together.
[21:54] ---
    Keep going straight down this road.
[22:01] ---
    Yukio... why don't you join me in the battle?
[22:07] ---
    Wouldn't you rather become strong
    and protect Rin and other people,
[22:10] ---
    than sit trembling in the darkness forever?
[22:14] ---
    Me? Protect Rin?
[22:16] ---
    I can do that?
[23:57] ---
    Next Time
[24:00] ---
    Episode 2: Strange Bedfellows
[24:06] ---
    An enemy's trying to kill us
    and you wanna start a family squabble?
[24:10] ---
    That's something that you, as head priest,
    need to take up directly with your father.
[24:16] ---
    Mamushi, that's enough!
[24:18] ---
    You there, what's your name?
[24:20] ---
    Rin Okumura.
[24:22] ---
    I see, so you are him...
