[00:06] ---
    Hey, Rin?
[00:08] ---
    I said, RIN!
[00:22] ---
    Yukio didn't come home, did he...?
[00:25] ---
    Freakin' Yukio, where the hell
    did he run off to without even calling?
[00:32] ---
    Oh, crap! I'm gonna be late!
[00:44] ---
    "BLUE EXORCIST"
[00:49] ---
    Dark side in my heart is
[00:51] ---
    A sorrowful past
    you can't wipe away
[00:54] ---
    It's alright... I don't mean it
[00:56] ---
    Unleashing a blaster,
    reached out my hand
[00:59] ---
    The inescapable path -
    when did it become like this?
[01:04] ---
    And now everyone is gone...
[01:09] ---
    I don't give a shit about fate
[01:11] ---
    Can't take it anymore...
    cry for pride
[01:14] ---
    ah, ah, ah, alone in my world
[01:16] ---
    A resonating song of love
[01:18] ---
    Twisted world, warped wishes
[01:21] ---
    Ideals and tomorrows,
    all crumbling away
[01:24] ---
    So sick of it all
    and the unbearable boredom
[01:28] ---
    Goodbye precious life
[01:29] ---
    I swear I'm gonna change my fate
[01:31] ---
    Get battered and bruised...
    try for pride
[01:34] ---
    ah, ah, ah, alone in my world
[01:36] ---
    Still gonna sing of love
[01:38] ---
    Distorted world,
    wishes to be fulfilled
[01:41] ---
    I'm gonna build a bond
    and a new tomorrow
[01:44] ---
    Sick of it all,
    but it's still precious to me
[01:48] ---
    It's my precious life
[01:52] ---
    Dark cloud in my heart is
[01:54] ---
    Pierced by a light,
    and the sky is clear
[01:57] ---
    Let's fight... I have no fears
[01:59] ---
    I brandished
    a double-edged sword
[02:06] ---
    "URGENT NOTICE,
    SCHOOL CLOSED FOR THE DAY"
[02:09] ---
    What the hell?
[02:10] ---
    Oh, hi, Okumura.
[02:12] ---
    Morning!
[02:13] ---
    Yo! What's going on here, anyway?
[02:16] ---
    Remember that hostage crisis
    two days ago?
[02:19] ---
    I hear they're laying the blame
    on the director, and he's been axed.
[02:23] ---
    Huh?
[02:24] ---
    And now the academy's
    been temporarily shut down.
[02:26] ---
    They're not even letting us students
    inside the school building.
[02:29] ---
    And that's not all, either.
[02:31] ---
    Well, good morning, Izumo!
[02:32] ---
    They've driven out all
    of the Vatican leaders,
[02:35] ---
    and a new pope's also been named.
[02:38] ---
    At a time like this?
[02:39] ---
    You think it has something to do
    with the director being sacked?
[02:43] ---
    Either way, there's no question
    that big changes are in store.
[02:47] ---
    For the Exorcist Cram School and
    the Knights of the True Cross, too...
[02:52] ---
    Those of us
    here at the cram school,
[02:53] ---
    "Episode 22"
    "DEMON HUNTING"
    as well as the Japan Branch of
    the Knights of the True Cross,
[02:57] ---
    "Episode 22"
    "DEMON HUNTING"
    will be making a fresh start under the direct
    supervision of the Vatican Headquarters.
[02:58] ---
    will be making a fresh start under the direct
    supervision of the Vatican Headquarters.
[03:02] ---
    And now, a word of introduction
    from our Preceptor,
[03:05] ---
    newly appointed by the Vatican.
[03:11] ---
    Good day. I am Yukio Okumura,
[03:13] ---
    the new Preceptor of the Japan Branch
    of the Knights of the True Cross.
[03:17] ---
    How did Mr. Okumura get that post?
[03:18] ---
    He is still a student!
[03:21] ---
    Even if you go by rank, he is merely
    the same as me--Intermediate First Class!
[03:24] ---
    No way he can perform as a Preceptor...
[03:27] ---
    In addition, as of today,
    I've become Paladin.
[03:30] ---
    I look forward to working
    with you all.
[03:36] ---
    What the...?
    Yukio's become Paladin?
[03:38] ---
    Not only that, but he's also
    the Preceptor of the Japan Branch.
[03:41] ---
    What the hell has this new Pope
    of ours been smoking?
[03:45] ---
    Shit, he freakin' beat me to it!
[03:48] ---
    I was supposed to become
    Paladin before Yukio!
[03:51] ---
    Is that what's bugging you,
    for crap's sake?
[03:53] ---
    Did you ever catch up
    with me in the first place, Rin?
[03:56] ---
    Yukio!
[03:57] ---
    Is it true? Are you really a Paladin now?
[04:00] ---
    Yes, I am. Just like Dad...
[04:02] ---
    It's the rank bestowed on
    the most powerful exorcist of all.
[04:05] ---
    Listen, you!
[04:07] ---
    Yeah, you're a competent kid brother,
[04:08] ---
    and I know how you work your ass off
    when no one's looking.
[04:12] ---
    But what I don't get is why you kept
    something that important from me!
[04:16] ---
    Because it was a sudden appointment.
[04:18] ---
    You still could've at least texted me!
[04:21] ---
    I'm sorry, Rin. I'll be more careful
    from now on.
[04:26] ---
    As long as you know.
[04:28] ---
    I was given the post of Paladin
    for one reason alone.
[04:32] ---
    To put the Vatican's plans
    for a certain operation in action.
[04:35] ---
    Operation?
[04:37] ---
    Comrades! For as long as we can remember,
    we've lived in fear of the demons' existence.
[04:44] ---
    However, that chapter
    of our history ends today.
[04:47] ---
    Just as the light of civilization
    drove out the darkness,
[04:50] ---
    why don't we take back Assiah for mankind
    by exterminating every last demon in existence?
[04:58] ---
    I, Pope Ernst, hereby order
    every exorcist in the world...
[05:04] ---
    to launch Operation Jacob's Ladder!
[05:09] ---
    Jacob's Ladder?
[05:10] ---
    I've been ordered to take the reins
    of this particular operation.
[05:14] ---
    You'll give me a hand in this,
    won't you?
[05:17] ---
    H-Hey, sure!
[05:19] ---
    All right, then, I've got
    a meeting to go to.
[05:24] ---
    Right. Go get 'em!
[05:36] ---
    What exactly are these?
[05:38] ---
    Demon-slaying weapons
    specially crafted by the Vatican.
[05:40] ---
    Absorbing the power of any demons you kill
    will boost the efficiency of your exorcisms.
[05:45] ---
    Really puts you in the mood, huh,
    packing something like this?
[05:48] ---
    Shima, it's not a toy, okay?
[05:51] ---
    We're training to become Tamers, actually...
[05:53] ---
    In that case, feel free to use
    that grimoire over there.
[05:57] ---
    This will do just fine!
[05:59] ---
    You may have been cleared to bear arms,
    but you are still inexperienced.
[06:04] ---
    Make sure you complete your assigned missions
    without hindering the other exorcists.
[06:09] ---
    Yes, sir!
[07:04] ---
    Shima! Huh?
[07:13] ---
    Bastard!
[07:16] ---
    Now's your chance! Fire!
[07:30] ---
    Well done! We've won this battle!
[07:45] ---
    What is this?
    It's totally one-sided...
[07:49] ---
    Hey, Rin... Is this really an exorcist's job?
[07:53] ---
    I mean, I feel like we're...
[07:59] ---
    What's the situation?
[08:01] ---
    443,556 regions have already been purged.
[08:06] ---
    However, we've encountered resistance
    in certain areas...
[08:10] ---
    Make sure every single exorcist
    gets the message.
[08:13] ---
    This is a crusade.
[08:15] ---
    We shall never attain our ideals
    without some sacrifices here and there.
[08:21] ---
    What's the matter?
    Something else on your mind?
[08:24] ---
    No, sir.
[08:29] ---
    Turn my brother back into a human?
[08:31] ---
    Is such a thing even possible?
[08:34] ---
    Those blue flames of Rin's are normally
    sealed by Kurikara, and exist in Gehenna.
[08:40] ---
    The world inhabited by humans... Assiah.
[08:42] ---
    The world inhabited by demons... Gehenna.
[08:45] ---
    These two worlds exist like
    mirror images of each other.
[08:48] ---
    If we can destroy Gehenna itself,
    his demonic powers will be lost,
[08:52] ---
    and Rin will go back
    to being a human.
[08:55] ---
    It's not possible... There's no way
    we can ever destroy Gehenna.
[09:00] ---
    Actually, we can.
[09:05] ---
    We have the ultimate weapon we've spent the
    last fifteen years developing... the Messiah!
[09:14] ---
    I have only to give the order,
    and the Messiah will take flight.
[09:18] ---
    However, in order to accomplish this,
    we will need to create a Gehenna Gate.
[09:23] ---
    Gehenna Gate?
[09:24] ---
    Just as its name implies--a space-time portal
    linking Gehenna and Assiah.
[09:30] ---
    From what we've been told,
    it can only be opened by Satan,
[09:34] ---
    but we have succeeded in manufacturing
    an artificial Gehenna Gate.
[09:38] ---
    However, in order to maintain this gate
    for an extended time,
[09:41] ---
    massive amounts of demonic blood
    are required.
[09:45] ---
    Can you really turn my brother back
    into a human by destroying Gehenna?
[09:50] ---
    Not only Rin, but you yourself, as well...
[09:55] ---
    Did you think that I of all people
    had no clue about my own grandson?
[10:11] ---
    Hey, you guys, what's that
    you're scarfing down?
[10:14] ---
    Hey, good work!
[10:15] ---
    Our rationed meal. I grabbed one for you
    before they ran out.
[10:21] ---
    Hey, thanks, man!
[10:22] ---
    Rin, I want some, too!
[10:24] ---
    Don't worry, I'm gonna
    divvy it up with you!
[10:27] ---
    I can't believe you can actually eat.
[10:30] ---
    Huh?
[10:35] ---
    Shiemi...
[10:42] ---
    It's a wild boar!
[10:43] ---
    Evacuate! Evacuate!
[10:47] ---
    Yukio...
[10:57] ---
    I won't let you get away with this,
    you cursed humans...
[11:01] ---
    How dare you hurt my comrades!
[11:04] ---
    My comrades, who have helped me protect
    this forest for the last two thousand years!
[11:11] ---
    So this boar... is he the ruler of this forest?
[11:16] ---
    Hey, hold up! He's...
[11:26] ---
    What the hell are you doing, Yukio?
[11:29] ---
    Doing? We're on a demon hunt.
[11:32] ---
    That boar was the ruler of this forest.
[11:34] ---
    He was just pissed because
    we killed his comrades.
[11:37] ---
    I've been ordered to eliminate every last demon
    from the face of the earth.
[11:41] ---
    Every last...? What about Kuro and Ukobach?
    Not to mention Izumo's familiars?
[11:47] ---
    You're not gonna massacre
    those guys, too, are you?
[11:50] ---
    Actually... You're absolutely right, Rin.
[11:57] ---
    I must eliminate all of the demons...
[12:00] ---
    Stop it!
[12:15] ---
    You serious, dammit?
[12:17] ---
    Let go of me, Rin.
[12:19] ---
    So you're planning to annihilate everything
    that calls itself a demon?
[12:24] ---
    Since when are exorcists murderers?
[12:26] ---
    I said let go of me!
[12:33] ---
    Rin! What did you do to Rin?
[12:43] ---
    Kuro!
[12:47] ---
    Okumura here...
    All right, understood.
[12:52] ---
    --Bourguignon!
    --Yes, sir!
[12:55] ---
    Take Rin Okumura
    to the Vatican Headquarters.
[12:58] ---
    Yes, sir!
[13:22] ---
    Since when did this happen?
[13:24] ---
    You said all your tests came back negative...
    were you lying about that?
[13:28] ---
    It has nothing to do with you.
[13:30] ---
    Yukio!
[13:31] ---
    When this operation is over,
    everyone will be saved.
[13:34] ---
    If you try to thwart me, I'll arrest you
    in my capacity as Paladin.
[13:37] ---
    Saved? What are you talking about?
[13:41] ---
    Hey...
[13:44] ---
    Shit, he's nothing but a
    Four-Eyed Chicken...
[13:50] ---
    Blood-sucking weapon?
[13:52] ---
    What the hell is that?
[13:53] ---
    It's a type of demon-slaying sword
    that sucks away a human's lifeblood.
[13:57] ---
    I looked into
    that photo you sent me.
[14:00] ---
    The sword looks like the one that was
    once owned by a Transylvanian count.
[14:04] ---
    Why would they arm us
    with weapons like that?
[14:07] ---
    How should I know?
[14:09] ---
    Anyway, it's probably not a good idea
    to be handling such odious weapons.
[14:15] ---
    Thanks. Sorry to bother you
    so early in the morning.
[14:20] ---
    Man, why do I feel like
    something's bugging me?
[14:23] ---
    Shit!
[14:24] ---
    Bon, where are you going?
[14:27] ---
    To see Mr. Okumura.
[14:29] ---
    He's supervising all this, so if we ask him,
    we should find out something.
[14:32] ---
    As if he'd ever tell us anything!
[14:35] ---
    It's got to be an instructor
    with a bigger mouth.
[14:37] ---
    Bigger mouth?
[14:39] ---
    You mean like Mr. Tsubaki?
[14:41] ---
    That's it!
[14:48] ---
    Are you awake?
[14:53] ---
    Mephisto!
[14:55] ---
    Where am I?
[14:56] ---
    This is the center of the Vatican
    Headquarters--the lowest level.
[14:59] ---
    A dungeon known as the Cocytus.
[15:02] ---
    Dungeon?
[15:03] ---
    I never dreamed I would
    encounter you here.
[15:07] ---
    If you don't mind, could you tell me
    how you ended up in here?
[15:12] ---
    Well, well...
[15:13] ---
    Mr. Okumura is now Paladin?
[15:16] ---
    To think that he is engaged in demon hunting...
    Quite intriguing, I must say!
[15:21] ---
    So, what did you do
    to get captured?
[15:23] ---
    Ein, zwei, drei...
[15:26] ---
    "MEPHISTO'S ADVENTURE"
[15:27] ---
    "MEPHISTO'S ADVENTURE"
    It was five hundred years ago, or so...
[15:29] ---
    A-A picture-card show?
[15:31] ---
    I, Johann Faust, was on the cutting edge
    of science at the time...
[15:35] ---
    Namely, the study of artificial life.
[15:38] ---
    You know, that doesn't even come close
    to looking like you.
[15:41] ---
    Just keep quiet and listen.
[15:44] ---
    The Vatican has strictly forbidden the act
    of creating life with one's own hands.
[15:49] ---
    By then, I had already ceded
    my laboratory to my disciples,
[15:54] ---
    but apparently, they had carried on
    with their research.
[15:58] ---
    You're talking about...
[15:59] ---
    Yes, the research lab for
    artificial life in Poland.
[16:04] ---
    Noihaus was my disciple's
    disciple's disciple's...
[16:07] ---
    At any rate, that was his connection to me.
[16:09] ---
    Hold up. Mr. Noihaus told us that somebody else
    resurrected his dead wife without telling him.
[16:15] ---
    Most likely, he was framed
    by that very same person.
[16:18] ---
    That person... who do you mean?
[16:20] ---
    Needless to say, someone who regards
    my existence as a thorn in his side.
[16:31] ---
    I thank you for your invaluable story.
[16:34] ---
    I shall be taking my leave of you now.
[16:36] ---
    Hey, hold up a sec!
    Take me with you!
[16:39] ---
    That I must refuse.
    You can hear it, can't you?
[16:43] ---
    The bell signaling the rising of the curtain?
    The marvelous show that's about to begin...
[16:47] ---
    One cannot afford to miss
    a single moment of it, you know!
[16:51] ---
    And now, farewell.
[16:53] ---
    Hey, come back here!
    You damned clown!
[16:55] ---
    I said come back here,
    for crap's sake!
[17:06] ---
    Your Holiness, Mephisto has...
[17:08] ---
    --Lord Auguste!
    --Sir!
[17:10] ---
    Step up security with Bourguignon's aid.
[17:13] ---
    The ceremony we're about to hold
    cannot be disrupted by anyone.
[17:18] ---
    Understood, sir.
[17:26] ---
    Ah. I can see from here that you're the one
    who resembles Yuri more...
[17:33] ---
    Who are you?
[17:34] ---
    I'm Ernst Frederik Egin.
[17:38] ---
    A pleasure to meet you, my grandson.
[17:42] ---
    Okumura's being executed?
[17:44] ---
    Why does he have to be executed?
[17:48] ---
    I heard they'd decided
    to hold off on dealing with Okumura
[17:50] ---
    until after the Exorcist
    Authorization Exam, but...
[17:54] ---
    At any rate, I hear that
    Headquarters is in an uproar.
[17:57] ---
    At the moment, we are standing by
    for instructions from Preceptor Okumura.
[18:02] ---
    So where is Rin right now?
[18:05] ---
    That I don't know, but I hear that
    the execution will take place...
[18:08] ---
    ...on the roof of True Cross Academy...
[18:11] ---
    The roof...?
[18:51] ---
    Whoever dares to step beyond this point,
    will not permitted to leave alive.
[19:13] ---
    You bastard, what the hell
    are you going to do!?
[20:02] ---
    Oh cursed blood of Satan,
    make it appear before our eyes.
[20:06] ---
    The sight of the gates of hell!
[20:17] ---
    Mr. Tsubaki!
[20:19] ---
    All of you--return to your posts at once.
[20:22] ---
    The operation is still in progress.
[20:24] ---
    Why the heck are they executing Okumura?
[20:27] ---
    He hasn't even done anything!
[20:29] ---
    Those who carry the blood of Satan...
[20:31] ---
    ...for them, it is a crime
    merely to be alive.
[20:33] ---
    No way...
[20:34] ---
    Is that what the Knights
    of the True Cross call justice?
[20:37] ---
    The Vatican's orders are absolute.
[20:40] ---
    But since you defy me,
    I'll just strike you down now.
[20:47] ---
    Ms. Shura!
[20:49] ---
    What a shame...
[20:50] ---
    I never thought that you'd defect
    to the demons' side.
[20:52] ---
    Look, I haven't sold out.
    It pisses me off, that's all.
[20:57] ---
    The way you guys run things!
[20:59] ---
    Just leave this to me,
    and get going!
[21:13] ---
    Don't make me lose all hope in you.
[21:15] ---
    Shut up, Baldy!
[21:21] ---
    What's the meaning of all this?
[21:23] ---
    What are you planning to do
    to my brother?
[21:26] ---
    Isn't it obvious?
[21:28] ---
    I'm using him as a living sacrifice
    to open the Gehenna Gate.
[21:33] ---
    That's not what you told me!
[21:34] ---
    I only agreed because you promised
    to turn Rin back into a human!
[21:37] ---
    Rin must serve as a human sacrifice.
[21:40] ---
    Because of his actions today,
    surely he will go down in history
[21:44] ---
    as the hero who destroyed Gehenna.
[21:55] ---
    (Wired...)
[21:58] ---
    Like a dancing butterfly,
    it flutters
[22:01] ---
    A mysterious light
    floating through space
[22:05] ---
    This is not the world we know
[22:09] ---
    We're gonna keep falling

    The numbers running

[22:22] ---

    with the wisdom of mankind!
