[00:21] ---
    Living sacrifice?
[00:23] ---
    After years of research,
    I finally discovered the answer.
[00:27] ---
    That the roof of True Cross Academy itself,
    built by Mephisto,
[00:32] ---
    is the ideal venue for
    connecting Gehenna and Assiah!
[00:37] ---
    The stage has been set.
[00:39] ---
    However, the blood that we've gathered
    seems to be of inferior quality.
[00:42] ---
    At this level of purity,
    Gehenna Gate will never be completed.
[00:47] ---
    But adding Rin's blood
    will change the equation entirely.
[00:51] ---
    A mere five liters will
    dramatically increase its purity...
[00:55] ---
    ...and allow me to open a
    Gehenna Gate of colossal proportions.
[00:58] ---
    Ridiculous! You could pump out
    every drop of blood from my brother's body
[01:01] ---
    and it wouldn't be enough!
[01:03] ---
    That would be true...
    IF he were a human.
[01:06] ---
    With his demonic healing powers,
[01:09] ---
    an excessive loss of blood
    would be inconsequential.
[01:15] ---
    Rin will go down in history as a martyr.
    As the hero who saved Assiah!
[01:26] ---
    Release my brother at once!
[01:29] ---
    It won't do you any good to shoot me.
[01:47] ---
    A bomber plane carrying the Messiah has already
    taken off from the Dragoon Laboratory.
[01:53] ---
    It should be arriving above
    True Cross Academy any minute now.
[01:58] ---
    That bomber plane will heed
    no one's orders but mine.
[02:02] ---
    If I don't open Gehenna Gate...
[02:04] ---
    ...the Messiah will only explode
    on the grounds of this school.
[02:08] ---
    What?
[02:09] ---
    We are past the point of no return.
[02:27] ---
    In that case, I'll take his place.
[02:30] ---
    What?
[02:31] ---
    I'll be the one to open Gehenna Gate.
    So let my brother go!
[02:38] ---
    Very well.
[02:43] ---
    Could you actually...
[02:45] ---
    ...have even counted on this
    very thing happening, Elder Brother?
[02:47] ---
    Those brothers are like
    mirror images of each other.
[02:51] ---
    If only he hadn't drawn
    the Koma Sword that day,
[02:55] ---
    their destinies would have
    turned out differently.
[02:58] ---
    Which will remain at the bottom
    of all this chaos--hope, or despair?
[03:04] ---
    I can't believe
    how it makes my heart race!
[03:17] ---
    "BLUE EXORCIST"
[03:23] ---
    Dark side in my heart is
[03:25] ---
    A sorrowful past
    you can't wipe away
[03:28] ---
    It's alright... I don't mean it
[03:30] ---
    Unleashing a blaster,
    I reached out my hand
[03:33] ---
    The inescapable path -
    when did it become like this?
[03:38] ---
    And now everyone is gone...
[03:43] ---
    I don't give a shit about fate
[03:45] ---
    Can't take it anymore...
    cry for pride
[03:48] ---
    ah, ah, ah, alone in my world
[03:50] ---
    A resonating song of love
[03:52] ---
    Twisted world, warped wishes
[03:55] ---
    Ideals and tomorrows,
    all crumbling away
[03:58] ---
    So sick of it all
    and the unbearable boredom
[04:02] ---
    Goodbye precious life
[04:03] ---
    I swear I'm gonna change my fate
[04:05] ---
    Get battered and bruised...
    try for pride
[04:08] ---
    ah, ah, ah, alone in my world
[04:10] ---
    Still gonna sing of love
[04:12] ---
    Distorted world,
    wishes to be fulfilled
[04:15] ---
    I'm gonna build a bond
    and a new tomorrow
[04:18] ---
    Sick of it all,
    but it's still precious to me
[04:22] ---
    It's my precious life
[04:26] ---
    Dark cloud in my heart is
[04:28] ---
    Pierced by a light,
    and the sky is clear
[04:31] ---
    Let's fight... I have no fears
[04:33] ---
    I brandished
    a double-edged sword
[04:38] ---
    "Episode 23" "TRUTH"
[04:51] ---
    Rin...
[05:25] ---
    Splendid! Just as I thought,
    by blending the blood of twins,
[05:29] ---
    I can draw out several times as much power!
[05:34] ---
    What's this?
[05:35] ---
    What's going on?
    What the hell is this, anyway?
[05:40] ---
    Wait, isn't that Mr. Okumura?
[05:43] ---
    It can't be... Yuki told us that
    he didn't inherit the blood of Satan!
[05:48] ---
    Then what's that?
    What the hell are those blue flames?
[05:51] ---
    Yuki!
[05:54] ---
    Stay away!
[06:00] ---
    Wh-What the hell?
[06:05] ---
    Wh-What in tarnation?
[06:18] ---
    Come to me, Messiah!
[06:20] ---
    The time has come to burn down
    Gehenna with the flames of science!
[06:30] ---
    And the fifth angel blew his trumpet.
[06:33] ---
    And...
[06:35] ---
    ...I saw a star falling from heaven to earth.
[06:39] ---
    --Oh!
    --Huh?
[06:40] ---
    --Oh!
    --Oh crap! Get down!
[06:42] ---
    The star was given the key
    to the shaft of the bottomless pit.
[06:47] ---
    When he opened the shaft of the bottomless pit,
[06:50] ---
    smoke rose from the shaft like
    the smoke of a great furnace,
[06:54] ---
    and the sun and the air were darkened
    with the smoke from the shaft.
[07:12] ---
    What the hell?
    What's that light?
[07:16] ---
    Behold! This is the light of
    the wisdom of mankind!
[07:20] ---
    Its radiance is proof that victory is ours...
[07:23] ---
    It is Jacob's Ladder!
[07:28] ---
    What the...?
[07:38] ---
    Wh-What's going on?
[07:40] ---
    Then from the smoke came
    locusts on the earth,
[07:45] ---
    and these locusts were given power
    like the power of scorpions of the earth.
[07:50] ---
    The locusts have as king over them
    the angel of the bottomless pit.
[07:55] ---
    His name in Hebrew...
[07:56] ---
    ...is Abaddon, and in Greek
    he is called Apollyon.
[08:02] ---
    Ugh! Bugs!
[08:04] ---
    No good! Fall back, guys!
[08:07] ---
    What's going on?
    I thought he launched the Messiah?
[08:11] ---
    Apparently, he failed miserably.
[08:14] ---
    This voice...
[08:15] ---
    Gehenna could never be extinguished
    by such piddling fireworks!
[08:19] ---
    Don't tell me it's... Dad?
[08:23] ---
    That's right. I'm Satan.
    I'm your daddy!
[08:29] ---
    Damn you, demon! Are you trying
    to rattle me by mimicking Dad's voice?
[08:34] ---
    I'm not mimicking him. After all,
    his was the last body that I possessed.
[08:40] ---
    And now I sound exactly like him!
[08:43] ---
    Shut up! If only you'd never
    set foot in Assiah, Dad wouldn't have died...
[08:47] ---
    ...and my mother wouldn't have been murdered!
[08:50] ---
    You know, you've got it all wrong.
[08:53] ---
    I wasn't the one who killed Yuri.
    It was that man.
[09:00] ---
    H-Help me, Yukio!
[09:04] ---
    You look like you have no idea
    what I'm talking about.
[09:08] ---
    In that case, I'll show you!
    Everything that I saw with my own eyes!
[09:35] ---
    I've been looking for you, Yuri!
[09:37] ---
    Secluding yourself so deep
    inside this damned forest!
[09:40] ---
    I came this close to losing my way!
[09:43] ---
    Go get your things right now!
    We're going back to the Vatican!
[09:48] ---
    Your tummy smells just like sunshine
    again today, doesn't it, Hobgoblin?
[09:52] ---
    Listen to what I'm saying!
[09:54] ---
    I'm not going back to the Vatican.
    Because this is my home.
[10:00] ---
    Yuri, do you know
    what people are calling you?
[10:04] ---
    The Witch of the Forest...
    A woman possessed by the devil...
[10:08] ---
    You're a fledgling exorcist.
[10:10] ---
    Even you know damn well that
    you need to stop fraternizing with demons.
[10:13] ---
    This concept that we should be
    divided into demons or humans--
[10:16] ---
    that's the cause of all this madness!
[10:19] ---
    These little dears are my precious friends!
[10:23] ---
    Hey! Come back here, Yuri!
[10:28] ---
    The only daughter of the Egin family,
    which has served the Vatican for generations,
[10:32] ---
    simply cannot be possessed by a demon.
[10:34] ---
    I don't care what methods
    you employ. Understand?
[10:38] ---
    Understood.
[10:49] ---
    What do you think you're doing?
[10:50] ---
    Stop it! Those are all my friends!
[10:53] ---
    Don't make me laugh!
[10:55] ---
    You've been misled by a demon, that's all!
[10:57] ---
    I'm killing every last demon!
    That's our job as exorcists!
[11:02] ---
    Please, stop...
[11:05] ---
    I'm telling you to stop, goddammit!
[11:12] ---
    Blue flames...
[11:14] ---
    Don't tell me... you're...
[11:16] ---
    Satan!
[11:28] ---
    You've regained consciousness?
[11:30] ---
    I'm sorry.
[11:32] ---
    Since when?
[11:33] ---
    Since when has that monster
    been wandering around Assiah?
[11:38] ---
    Since a year ago...
[11:40] ---
    I was sent to this region to investigate
    the frequent phenomena of human combustion...
[11:55] ---
    Fragile... Fragile beyond belief!
[12:14] ---
    Apparently, I had some kind of
    resistance to those blue flames...
[12:19] ---
    I was ordered to return by the
    Knights of the True Cross,
[12:23] ---
    but I ended up staying in this forest.
[12:26] ---
    Because I wanted the chance
    to talk with those blue flames again.
[12:34] ---
    Do you know who I am?
[12:39] ---
    Get out of my sight this instant!
    Or I'll destroy you like I did the others!
[12:43] ---
    If that's what you really want...
[12:45] ---
    Don't make me laugh!
[12:50] ---
    Back then...
[12:51] ---
    I heard your voice.
[12:54] ---
    The instant I touch something in Assiah,
    it immediately burns to the ground.
[13:01] ---
    It must be so lonely... For everything
    to be reduced to ashes in your hands,
[13:05] ---
    no matter how much
    you want to cherish them.
[13:09] ---
    It must be so sad...
[13:11] ---
    Be silent!
[13:13] ---
    If those feelings of yours are true...
[13:18] ---
    then use my body.
[13:24] ---
    So you accepted him?
[13:26] ---
    Satan?
[13:27] ---
    Yes... He seemed to be enjoying himself...
[13:35] ---
    He must have fallen from his nest.
    Poor thing, he's already dead.
[13:39] ---
    Dead?
[13:40] ---
    It means one's life has ended.
[13:43] ---
    What's this thing you call life?
[13:45] ---
    Insects and flowers and birds,
    as well as humans...
[13:49] ---
    Everything that lives
    and breathes on this earth...
[13:52] ---
    Each of us has one.
[13:54] ---
    And not one of them are exactly alike.
[13:57] ---
    It's a precious thing to have.
[13:58] ---
    I want a life, too.
[14:01] ---
    Life can't be bought,
    or given away.
[14:04] ---
    But you can nurture a life.
[14:09] ---
    Don't tell me that you actually...
[14:10] ---
    Yes, I did. I'm carrying his child.
[14:16] ---
    What the hell?
[14:21] ---
    I'm disappointed in you, Fujimoto.
[14:23] ---
    For someone of your stature
    to seduce the Cardinal's daughter...!
[14:27] ---
    I've done nothing!
    Yuri's been possessed by a demon.
[14:31] ---
    Not just by any demon, either! By Satan!
[14:35] ---
    No one but you ever
    went into that forest.
[14:38] ---
    If you want to defend yourself,
    do it at the hearing!
[14:41] ---
    Wait! There's no time to lose!
    Yuri's got to be...!
[14:45] ---
    The devil's spawn, did you say?
[14:47] ---
    Impossible... Operate at once!
[14:50] ---
    But that would violate
    the Vatican's doctrines!
[14:52] ---
    --You'd force her to give birth, then?
    --I'm having it.
[14:55] ---
    Yuri!
[14:56] ---
    This baby is our child.
    I'm going to have it and raise it.
[15:01] ---
    You damned witch!
[15:03] ---
    Defendant Yuri Egin!
[15:05] ---
    Are you absolutely sure that, as you stated,
    you are now pregnant with a demon's child?
[15:10] ---
    Yes, that is correct.
[15:13] ---
    Demons have been known to make mischief,
    or to threaten humans.
[15:18] ---
    But that is only due to their
    vast intelligence and curiosity.
[15:22] ---
    Surely we can both learn from each other,
    and feel love for one another.
[15:26] ---
    As if a demon could ever feel love!
[15:27] ---
    --Cursed witch!
    --Burn her at the stake!
[15:30] ---
    I shall now pronounce the verdict.
[15:32] ---
    We find the accused, Yuri Egin, guilty...
[15:35] ---
    ...and sentence her to death.
[15:38] ---
    In order to save Yuri, I searched high and low
    for a human to serve as a vessel.
[15:44] ---
    But my power proved
    to be too overwhelming.
[15:47] ---
    I couldn't find a body durable enough,
    no matter where I looked.
[16:00] ---
    Please... step back!
[16:02] ---
    Don't be ridiculous.
[16:03] ---
    If we succumb, then who
    will be left to defend Assiah?
[16:17] ---
    Cursed demons!
[16:30] ---
    This body... won't last much longer...
[16:34] ---
    Satan! It's you, isn't it?
[16:36] ---
    Run... Yuri...
[16:50] ---
    It's been a long time, my dear Fujimoto.
[16:53] ---
    Mephisto! What's happening?
[16:55] ---
    Satan has attacked.
[16:58] ---
    He has come to take back
    his wife and child.
[17:03] ---
    Already, every exorcist who might have
    served as Satan's vessel has been slain.
[17:08] ---
    There is no exorcist left in the
    Vatican who can take action but you.
[17:14] ---
    Is that the Cardinal?
[17:17] ---
    Yuri Egin has fled with the help of Satan.
[17:21] ---
    Kill Yuri! Exterminate her along
    with the child she's carrying!
[17:26] ---
    What's this?
[17:27] ---
    The demon-slaying sword, Kurikara,
    containing the power of Fudo.
[17:31] ---
    I'm sure it will be of use to you
    when you slay the child of Satan.
[17:56] ---
    Shiro...
[17:57] ---
    Yuri... those babies...
[17:59] ---
    They're my children.
    Aren't they adorable?
[18:03] ---
    The one clad in blue flames is Rin.
[18:06] ---
    And the fair-skinned one is Yukio.
[18:09] ---
    Live... Be strong...
[18:12] ---
    To prove that demons and humans
    can understand each other...
[18:21] ---
    Stay with us! Yuri!
[18:23] ---
    Yuri!
[18:26] ---
    What are you going to do?
[18:27] ---
    The Vatican's order was to kill
    the mother along with the children,
[18:31] ---
    but the woman has expired
    without you having to lift a finger.
[18:37] ---
    As long as they've inherited Satan's power,
    they'll only suffer if they live.
[18:45] ---
    What's the matter?
    Aren't you going to exterminate them?
[18:49] ---
    That one smiled at me.
    Even though I was about to kill him...
[18:55] ---
    This concept that we should be
    divided into demons or humans--
[18:58] ---
    that's the cause of all this madness!
[19:00] ---
    Mephisto...
[19:01] ---
    Yes?
[19:02] ---
    I'm going to raise these two.
[19:05] ---
    I swear I'm going to raise them
    into a couple of fine human children.
[19:10] ---
    You, the man feared
    for his cold-heartedness,
[19:13] ---
    raise the spawn of Satan?
[19:17] ---
    Impossible, and you know it!
[19:20] ---
    I'll never know unless I try, will I?
[19:23] ---
    In that case, shall I propose a wager?
[19:26] ---
    If you do succeed in raising
    these two as human beings, you win.
[19:30] ---
    Should they awaken as demons, then I win--
    and I shall claim their lives
[19:38] ---
    Fine.
[19:39] ---
    All right, then... As a special favor...
[19:46] ---
    What did you just do?
[19:47] ---
    I've sealed his demonic
    power into this sword.
[19:50] ---
    It won't be much of a wager if
    blue flames are constantly emanating from him.
[19:54] ---
    I owe you one.
[19:55] ---
    No need to thank me.
[19:57] ---
    Now then, I shall be heading back to the Vatican
    to report that you've annihilated Satan's spawn.
[20:03] ---
    Until we meet again!
[20:15] ---
    Impossible...
[20:16] ---
    What's the truth?
    What the hell am I supposed to believe?
[20:20] ---
    I just showed you nothing but the truth.
    If you don't believe me,
[20:25] ---
    then why don't you ask His Holiness,
    who's half-buried over there?
[20:32] ---
    Please help me, Yukio!
[20:35] ---
    I want you to tell me the truth.
[20:40] ---
    Was it you who gave the order to
    burn my mother, Yuri Egin, at the stake?
[20:45] ---
    How did you know...
[20:46] ---
    Answer me!
[20:49] ---
    Now!
[20:51] ---
    That's right... I gave the order...
[20:53] ---
    But she told me that she was
    going to bear the spawn of Satan!
[20:57] ---
    It would have been bad enough
    if they were human children, but...
[20:59] ---
    The spawn of Satan!
[21:01] ---
    Didn't you love my mother at all?
[21:04] ---
    In my heart, Yuri was dead!
[21:06] ---
    She died the day she
    gave birth to you two...
[21:09] ---
    The cursed sons of Satan!
[21:11] ---
    You've tarnished the Egin name...
[21:14] ---
    I'll never acknowledge that you two even exist!
[21:27] ---
    No...
[21:32] ---
    Shit!
[21:37] ---
    No way!
[21:38] ---
    At last, I've acquired it--my ideal vessel!
[21:50] ---
    Since half of the blood in your veins is mine,
[21:53] ---
    it's no wonder that you're a perfect fit,
    right down to your fingertips!
[21:59] ---
    The festival celebrating the advent
    of the great Satan is about to begin!
[22:08] ---
    --Rin!
    --Are you okay?
[22:15] ---
    Yukio... Is that Yukio?
[22:22] ---
    What the hell are you doing, Yukio?
[22:31] ---
    (Wired...)
[22:34] ---
    Like a dancing butterfly,
    it flutters
[22:37] ---
    A mysterious light
    floating through space
[22:41] ---
    This is not the world we know
[22:45] ---
    We're gonna keep falling
    at the same speed
[22:49] ---
    Cut the Rope
[22:56] ---
    The numbers running
    through my mind
[22:58] ---
    Spiral out, and then soar
[23:00] ---
    And a monumental error
    goes unnoticed
[23:03] ---
    Linking us all,
    from person to person
[23:07] ---
    A sparkling pale blue wire
[23:10] ---
    So beautiful...
    it looks like a silk thread
[23:14] ---
    Could this be
    the chain called destiny?
[23:19] ---
    Search for it...
    but it entangles you
[23:22] ---
