    Unbelievable power...
[00:12] ---
    It's just like Father's...
[00:18] ---
    Kuchen Cuckoo House!
[00:33] ---
    Tut, tut...
[00:34] ---
    Such a handful,
    this younger brother.
[00:46] ---
    "BLUE EXORCIST"
[00:52] ---
    Dark side in my heart is
[00:54] ---
    A sorrowful past
    you can't wipe away

[00:57] ---
    It's alright... I don't mean it
[00:59] ---
    Unleashing a blaster,
    I reached out my hand

[01:02] ---
    The inescapable path -
    when did it become like this?

[01:07] ---
    And now everyone is gone...
[01:12] ---
    I don't give a shit about fate
[01:14] ---
    Can't take it anymore...
    cry for pride

[01:17] ---
    ah, ah, ah, alone in my world
[01:19] ---
    A resonating song of love
[01:21] ---
    Twisted world, warped wishes
[01:24] ---
    Ideals and tomorrows,
    all crumbling away

[01:27] ---
    So sick of it all
    and the unbearable boredom

[01:31] ---
    Goodbye precious life
[01:32] ---
    I swear I'm gonna change my fate
[01:34] ---
    Get battered and bruised...
    try for pride

[01:37] ---
    ah, ah, ah, alone in my world
[01:39] ---
    Still gonna sing of love
[01:41] ---
    Distorted world,
    wishes to be fulfilled

[01:44] ---
    I'm gonna build a bond
    and a new tomorrow

[01:47] ---
    Sick of it all,
    but it's still precious to me

[01:51] ---
    It's my precious life
[01:55] ---
    Dark cloud in my heart is
[01:57] ---
    Pierced by a light,
    and the sky is clear

[02:00] ---
    Let's fight... I have no fears
[02:02] ---
    I brandished
    a double-edged sword

[02:07] ---
    "Episode 16" "THE WAGER"
[02:18] ---
    What the heck is
    going on here, anyway?
[02:21] ---
    It's the... blue flames...
[02:23] ---
    Don't tell me...
[02:24] ---
    Rin!
[02:36] ---
    Your power is even greater
    than I'd imagined.
[02:39] ---
    Not even the Koma Sword
    can contain it...
[02:54] ---
    Rin...
[02:55] ---
    Rin!
[02:56] ---
    Shiemi!
[03:02] ---
    Look out! Get back!
[03:12] ---
    Rin!
[03:14] ---
    Rin!
[03:16] ---
    Shi... e... mi...
[03:19] ---
    It's all right...
    It's gonna be all right...
[03:29] ---
    Rin!
[03:33] ---
    Ah, so blue.
[03:37] ---
    It's just like that night,
    wouldn't you say?
[03:41] ---
    Who's that?
[03:42] ---
    Look who's here...
[03:45] ---
    Good morning, everyone!
    I am Arthur Auguste Angel.
[03:49] ---
    A Senior Exorcist First Class
    with the Vatican Headquarters.
[03:52] ---
    Arthur Auguste Angel...
[03:55] ---
    He was just named to the post
    of current Paladin.
[03:58] ---
    Huh? Paladin?
[04:00] ---
    And I am also your
    direct supervisor, Shura.
[04:06] ---
    But Shura... What is your
    explanation for this?
[04:09] ---
    Wasn't it your mission to investigate
    and report on the conspiracy
[04:12] ---
    and cover-up by the late Shiro Fujimoto and
    the Japan Branch Preceptor, Mephisto Pheles?
[04:19] ---
    Yeah, but I'm not the only spy
    you've got stashed away here, am I?
[04:23] ---
    True. Still, you had another
    crucial task to carry out as well...
[04:29] ---
    If you could confirm that
    their plot was Satan-related,
[04:33] ---
    you had the go-ahead
    to eliminate it immediately...
[04:36] ---
    Shura, does this blue flame-spewing beast not
    strike you as being a Satan-related entity?
[04:43] ---
    Such piercing insight,
    as always!
[04:45] ---
    Am I right?
[04:47] ---
    Mephisto...
[04:48] ---
    It's been a long time, Angel. I hear that you've
    recently been appointed to the rank of Paladin.
[04:55] ---
    I offer you my most heartfelt congratulations!
[04:58] ---
    So you've finally shown your tail.
[05:00] ---
    Reports of your treachery have
    reached the ears of the Grigori.
[05:05] ---
    This incident will prove it beyond a doubt.
[05:08] ---
    Actually, I haven't shown my tail.
[05:10] ---
    Quite rude of you to accuse
    a gentleman of such a thing!
[05:14] ---
    Never mind...
[05:16] ---
    Caliban, lend me your power.
[05:19] ---
    Ohhh, Arthur! Gladly!
[05:21] ---
    By order of the Supreme Advisors of the
    Order of the True Cross, the Grigori...
[05:27] ---
    I shall execute the spawn of Satan!
[05:33] ---
    Rin!
[05:35] ---
    Kirigakure-style Demon Sword Technique!
[05:37] ---
    Snake Belly Form...
[05:40] ---
    Serpent Fang!
[05:45] ---
    Why would you protect
    the son of Satan?
[05:48] ---
    Are you now in league
    with Mephisto?
[05:49] ---
    The hell I am!
[05:51] ---
    Were you perhaps thinking of
    fulfilling Fujimoto's dying wish?
[05:54] ---
    Do so for the sake of the most
    unfit of all Paladins in history?
[05:59] ---
    Not likely, you
    freakin' bald ass!
[06:02] ---
    But I'm not actually bald.
    What an amusing jab!
[06:05] ---
    Still, the Grigori's orders are absolute.
    Even for you, Shura!
[06:13] ---
    Yes... Understood, sir.
[06:18] ---
    That was an order from the Grigori.
[06:19] ---
    They are holding a disciplinary hearing
    against the Preceptor of the Japan Branch,
[06:23] ---
    Mephisto Pheles.
[06:25] ---
    Oh? I shall look forward to that!
[06:27] ---
    Shura, you're coming
    with me as a witness.
[06:31] ---
    Needless to say,
    so is that spawn of Satan.
[06:33] ---
    He's a critical piece of evidence...
[06:35] ---
    Wait, please! Let me come, too!
[06:37] ---
    But you have a job to finish--you must look
    after the cram school students till the end, no?
[06:43] ---
    Apparently, it will no longer be possible
    to suppress those flames with this.
[06:53] ---
    Now then, shall we be off, Angel?
[07:06] ---
    The disciplinary hearing against
    the accused, Mephisto Pheles,
[07:09] ---
    Preceptor of the Japan Branch of the
    Order of the True Cross, is now in session!
[07:14] ---
    The interrogation will be carried out
    by myself, Timothée Timowan,
[07:17] ---
    Law Enforcement Director of the Order,
[07:19] ---
    and the Paladin, Arthur Auguste Angel.
[07:23] ---
    Also, the Grigori,
[07:24] ---
    the Supreme Advisors of the
    Order of the True Cross, will preside.
[07:29] ---
    Lord Pheles, let's get straight to the point...
[07:32] ---
    Is that demon there
    before me the son of Satan?
[07:36] ---
    That is correct.
[07:38] ---
    It is far too late for excuses.
[07:42] ---
    My brother... Rin Okumura...
[07:45] ---
    Fifteen years ago, he was born the child
    of Satan and a human mother.
[07:50] ---
    And he has inherited the power
    of Satan's blue flames.
[07:55] ---
    Um... If I remember correctly, you're
    Okumura's twin brother, aren't you?
[08:01] ---
    But I didn't inherit the blue flames.
[08:03] ---
    Everyday I undergo an examination...
[08:06] ---
    But strangely enough, I'm just
    a normal human being.
[08:09] ---
    In other words,
[08:10] ---
    the fact that Satan's son, carried by
    Junior Exorcist Second Class Yuri Egin,
[08:14] ---
    was subjugated by Shiro Fujimoto
    with the Koma Sword...
[08:18] ---
    ...that report itself, then, was false?
[08:21] ---
    Yes. Of the two children born, one
    did not inherit the power of Satan.
[08:27] ---
    The one that did...
[08:28] ---
    ...is this one here.
[08:30] ---
    It was I who sealed the source
    of this child's power,
[08:33] ---
    his demon's heart,
    with the Koma Sword.
[08:38] ---
    Eventually, the Koma Sword could
    no longer contain his sealed power,
[08:42] ---
    and it was about three months ago
    that he awoke to it.
[08:45] ---
    Three months ago...
[08:47] ---
    Until then, Rin himself had grown up
    without knowing who he was.
[08:51] ---
    It was just around that time...
[08:53] ---
    Listen, I'm not a demon!
    Don't jump to conclusions!
[08:58] ---
    So that's what Rin was dealing with...
[09:00] ---
    What's going to happen to Rin?
[09:03] ---
    Depending on the outcome of the hearing,
    execution is one possibility.
[09:06] ---
    Execution?
[09:07] ---
    Once he's consumed by the flames, my brother
    will transform completely into a demon.
[09:12] ---
    And if that happens, he'll never be able
    to live a normal life in this world...
[09:16] ---
    Yuki... Yuki, are you saying that
    you don't care if Rin dies?
[09:20] ---
    I never said that!
[09:22] ---
    I don't want...
[09:23] ---
    I don't want my brother
    to suffer anymore, either!
[09:26] ---
    No matter how he may want to,
    Rin can't live as a human anymore.
[09:31] ---
    Now that his sword is cracked...
[09:33] ---
    Kurikara is cracked?
[09:36] ---
    What did you just say?
[09:37] ---
    Huh?
[09:38] ---
    How did you know that this
    sword was called Kurikara?
[09:41] ---
    I've only referred to it
    as the Koma Sword...
[09:44] ---
    Kurikara... I've heard that
    way back when,
[09:47] ---
    that sword was one of
    the treasures of my temple.
[09:51] ---
    What?
[09:53] ---
    Bon, you think if we brought it to the
    Yoshikunis, they might be able to do something?
[09:58] ---
    Yoshikuni?
[09:59] ---
    That's the family of swordsmiths
    who forged Kurikara.
[10:02] ---
    There's still someone
    carrying on the legacy.
[10:05] ---
    If we take it there,
    will they be able to fix it?
[10:07] ---
    Well, I don't know about that...
[10:09] ---
    Ridiculous...
[10:11] ---
    Ridiculous! What are you all thinking?
    Aren't you terrified?
[10:17] ---
    What do you mean, fix the sword?
    Why on earth...
[10:19] ---
    ...why on earth should we
    do a thing like that?
[10:21] ---
    Because Rin is...
[10:22] ---
    He's the son of Satan!
[10:25] ---
    I understand how you feel.
    But I'm asking for your help.
[10:30] ---
    If there's a way
    to save my brother...
[10:32] ---
    Please!
[10:37] ---
    Hey, don't do that...
[10:38] ---
    Suguro...
[10:40] ---
    Then what was your purpose?
[10:42] ---
    For secretly having him raised under
    Shiro Fujimoto's care?
[10:47] ---
    Lord Pheles?
[10:49] ---
    In order to...
[10:51] ---
    In order to turn him into a weapon
    for fighting Satan...
[10:54] ---
    What?
[10:55] ---
    Fight Satan?
[10:58] ---
    A weapon, you say?
[10:59] ---
    That's rubbish!
[11:01] ---
    I would advise you not to take
    this swindler's words seriously!
[11:05] ---
    Gentlemen, surely you
    haven't forgotten...
[11:07] ---
    ...Pheles's personal history!
    Conniving words are his specialty!
[11:19] ---
    Come on, show us the way!
[11:21] ---
    Take us to this Yoshikuni person. You're the
    only ones who know how to get there!
[11:25] ---
    Kamiki!
[11:27] ---
    It drives me crazy! Hearing you go on
    and on and not getting anywhere!
[11:31] ---
    Bon...
[11:42] ---
    We're in Kyoto in a second!
[11:44] ---
    I have at least one key leading to
    any city with a religious sacred site.
[11:50] ---
    Let's go.
[12:25] ---
    Ryu-chan!
[12:26] ---
    Ryu-chan!
[12:27] ---
    H-Hey!
[12:28] ---
    Ryu-chan?
[12:54] ---
    You guys?
[13:12] ---
    It is true that we view
    demons as our enemy.
[13:16] ---
    However, since ancient times,
[13:19] ---
    we have also gained wisdom from demons,
    arming us with countermeasures.
[13:24] ---
    Still, this does not dispel the suspicion
    of treachery against Lord Pheles.
[13:29] ---
    But we do have grounds
    to trust Lord Pheles,
[13:31] ---
    based on his 200 years
    of cooperation with the Order.
[13:36] ---
    This demon conspired with Shiro Fujimoto
    to raise the son of Satan!
[13:40] ---
    That fact is indisputable!
[13:44] ---
    11th generation, Yoshikuni.
[13:47] ---
    Descendant of the swordsmith
    who forged Kurikara.
[13:49] ---
    A woman swordsmith?
[13:51] ---
    That's nothing to be surprised about.
[13:54] ---
    During the mid-Edo Period,
[13:55] ---
    there was a master craftsman
    known as Lady Kunishige.
[13:59] ---
    I'm sure there were others,
    even if they've been lost to history.
[14:02] ---
    It's a longstanding vow of hers.
[14:04] ---
    This chick says she's gonna be the second one
    to leave her mark on history!
[14:07] ---
    --Who're you calling chick?
    - Mr. Too-Big-For-His-Britches!
[14:09] ---
    --Ouch!
    --Who're you calling chick?
    Mr. Too-Big-For-His-Britches!
[14:10] ---
    Hey, you!
[14:12] ---
    Bon's been put to shame!
[14:14] ---
    My father and I used to stop by frequently
    at Ryu's temple to clean the ritual articles,
[14:19] ---
    so I've known him since
    he was a tot.
[14:21] ---
    He used to be so cute!
[14:24] ---
    He was always trying
    to cuddle with me...
[14:26] ---
    That's enough.
[14:27] ---
    And he once proposed to me, too!
[14:29] ---
    He even made me a kind of ring
    out of lotus flowers, you know...
[14:32] ---
    Cut it out, will you?
[14:33] ---
    And he begged me to please,
    please marry him...
[14:46] ---
    I can tell it's going to be a major
    undertaking, but it's not a lost cause.
[14:51] ---
    Really?
[14:52] ---
    Just one thing...
[14:54] ---
    In order to forge a Japanese sword,
    you need iron sand smelted in a furnace.
[15:00] ---
    But to smelt the iron sand
    for a demon sword,
[15:03] ---
    you need to instill it with spiritual power
    through a special ritual.
[15:07] ---
    However, this ritual has
    become a lost tradition,
[15:10] ---
    and there's no one
    who knows of it today...
[15:12] ---
    No records of any kind
    have been left?
[15:16] ---
    I'm afraid it's no longer possible to produce
    iron sand for a new demon sword...
[15:21] ---
    So we came here for nothing?
[15:23] ---
    Maybe you can't make a new one,
[15:24] ---
    but what if you had some iron sand
    that was made long ago?
[15:27] ---
    True, if I could get
    my hands on some...
[15:30] ---
    But where on earth
    would we find any?
[15:32] ---
    Do you think you could
    use those temple nails?
[15:35] ---
    Temple nails?
[15:37] ---
    During the Blue Night...
[15:39] ---
    ...a tower dating back to when
    our temple was built burned to the ground.
[15:43] ---
    All that was left were these
    thick temple nails, but...
[15:46] ---
    Since they turned out to be pretty valuable,
    we've been storing them at a sister temple.
[15:52] ---
    The nails for our temple were
    made by the Yoshikunis.
[15:57] ---
    If they were made with the same
    iron sand that you use for swords...
[16:01] ---
    Yes, it's possible that it was the same
    iron sand that was used to forge Kurikara...
[16:04] ---
    Then if we can find a way
    to obtain those temple nails...
[16:08] ---
    I might be able to
    repair this sword.
[16:12] ---
    Is anybody home?
[16:15] ---
    Anybody?
[16:17] ---
    Why isn't anyone coming?
[16:20] ---
    Oh, well. Go take a look around.
[16:22] ---
    I'm gonna check the main hall.
[16:24] ---
    Hold on a second. I'll go, too!
[16:33] ---
    Looks like nobody's here.
[16:35] ---
    I'm gonna check the
    charnel house in the back.
[16:37] ---
    You wait here, Mr. Okumura.
[16:41] ---
    Is there anybody around?
[16:44] ---
    Is there anybody...
[16:45] ---
    Oh!
[16:46] ---
    What's that?
[16:50] ---
    I hope he's not dead... is he?
[16:52] ---
    It's all right. He's just unconscious.
[16:55] ---
    Look!
[16:56] ---
    Over there, too!
[17:03] ---
    What's wrong?
[17:05] ---
    You want to kill Satan,
    don't you?
[17:10] ---
    Why?
[17:12] ---
    Why are you trying
    to save a demon?
[17:16] ---
    Don't lie about
    your own feelings.
[17:19] ---
    What did you say?
[17:20] ---
    Just be honest.
    He is the son of Satan...
[17:25] ---
    It would be for the good
    of the world to abandon him.
[17:27] ---
    Isn't that how you really feel?
[17:30] ---
    Do you really want to save him
    just because you're related by blood?
[17:38] ---
    Demon!
[17:39] ---
    You know that I'm not
    the one you must defeat.
[17:43] ---
    The one whom you fear
    deep down inside...
[17:46] ---
    ...that would be your brother,
    would it not?
[17:50] ---
    As long as your brother is alive,
    you'll always live in fear of him...
[17:56] ---
    So why are you trying
    to save him now?
[18:01] ---
    What reason could there possibly be
    for saving the son of Satan?
[18:05] ---
    Reason...
[18:06] ---
    Do you remember what
    Satan did to your temple?
[18:10] ---
    Why should you save his son?
[18:18] ---
    You should make your life easier.
[18:20] ---
    If you let them get rid of your brother now,
[18:23] ---
    you'll be able to live
    the rest of your life without fear.
[18:32] ---
    Mr. Okumura!
[18:33] ---
    Shima!
[18:41] ---
    You're wrong. It's not
    my brother that I fear.
[18:45] ---
    What I fear is that I won't be
    strong enough to protect him!
[18:49] ---
    I swore that I'd become stronger
    so that I could protect my brother!
[18:53] ---
    I swore that I'd protect him!
[19:07] ---
    The Tamayura Exorcism!
[19:11] ---
    Suguro!
[19:15] ---
    Reason? Of course
    I have a reason!
[19:18] ---
    That guy told me he was gonna become
    an exorcist so he could kick Satan's ass.
[19:23] ---
    Even though he's Satan's son!
[19:26] ---
    So if he died before I could ask
    why he'd say something so twisted...
[19:31] ---
    ...that would just suck!
[19:49] ---
    The Chief Priest was okay, too.
[19:51] ---
    I'm glad to hear that.
[19:52] ---
    That demon just now...
    it was Mara, wasn't it?
[19:55] ---
    Yes. The demon said to have
    appeared to divert Siddhartha
[20:00] ---
    as he meditated to reach Enlightenment...
[20:02] ---
    A demon who takes advantage of a soul's
    weaknesses and uncertainties...
[20:05] ---
    I've heard that demons like Mara
[20:07] ---
    often possess Buddhist statues
    found in ancient temples like these.
[20:12] ---
    Here are the temple nails
    you asked for.
[20:14] ---
    Thank you.
[20:24] ---
    There's no question that Mephisto planned to
    betray the Order and overthrow it from within!
[20:30] ---
    Still, it is also a fact that we have
    no means of defeating Satan.
[20:35] ---
    This is an issue of
    unprecedented magnitude.
[20:38] ---
    Should things go wrong,
    the risks, too, are grave.
[20:42] ---
    Jeez! How long are they gonna
    keep going like this...?
[20:47] ---
    What is happening?
[20:49] ---
    Damn him!
[20:51] ---
    Where is he? Tell me where he is!
    I haven't lost the battle yet!
[21:05] ---
    Is that Amaimon?
[21:06] ---
    How did the King of Earth
    get in here?
[21:09] ---
    Angel!
[21:10] ---
    Yes, sir!
[21:12] ---
    Is this your doing, Lord Pheles?
[21:15] ---
    Surely you jest. Why on earth would I
    need to do such a thing?
[21:21] ---
    Never mind that...
[21:23] ---
    Might I suggest that you
    celebrate this golden opportunity...
[21:26] ---
    to see for yourselves just how powerful
    the spawn of Satan is?
[21:32] ---
    What did you say?
[21:33] ---
    I'm sure you'll see
    soon enough...
[21:35] ---
    That he is the only weapon
    at our disposal...
[21:40] ---
    May I propose a wager?
[21:42] ---
    On whether young Rin Okumura
    will become the savior of Assiah...
[21:46] ---
    ...or the demon king of Gehenna?
[21:49] ---
    Do you not wish to see the
    outcome with your own eyes?
[21:59] ---
    (Wired...)
[22:02] ---
    Like a dancing butterfly,
    it flutters

[22:05] ---
    A mysterious light
    floating through space

[22:09] ---
    This is not the world we know
[22:13] ---
    We're gonna keep falling
    at the same speed

[22:18] ---
    Cut the Rope
[22:24] ---
    The numbers running
    through my mind

[22:26] ---
    Spiral out, and then soar
[22:28] ---
    And a monumental error
    goes unnoticed

[22:31] ---
    Linking us all,
    from person to person

[22:35] ---
    A sparkling pale blue wire
[22:38] ---
    So beautiful...
    it looks like a silk thread

[22:42] ---
    Could this be
    the chain called destiny?

[22:47] ---
    Search for it...
    but it entangles you

[22:50] ---
    You'll never reach it
[22:52] ---
    What is Wired Life
[22:54] ---
    To think that there's no escape
[22:57] ---
    So foolish and beautiful...
[23:00] ---
    Wired Life
[23:02] ---
    Search for it...
    but it entangles you

[23:05] ---
    You'll never reach it
[23:07] ---
    What is Wired Life
[23:09] ---
    To think that there's no escape
[23:12] ---
    So foolish and beautiful...
[23:15] ---
    There is Wired Life
[23:32] ---
    We're good.
    This is going to work.
