“This particular journey will end in tragedy, and you would do well not to forget that.“ Learn the truth when the Blue Night begins with Blue Exorcist The Blue Night Saga streaming on Crunchyroll this January! (Opening theme is “sense of pain“ by amazarashi) (Ending theme is “Overlap“ by Shiyui) [INTRODUCTION] Assiah, the realm of humans, and Gehenna, the realm of demons. Normally, these two dimensions would never intersect, but having possessed all material substances, the demons are now intruding on the material world. But among the human race, there are those who can exorcise such demons – the Exorcists. Blue Exorcist, a highly popular manga series by Kazue Kato, began its serialization in 2009 in Shueisha’s monthly shonen manga magazine Jump Square and has over 25 million copies in print. The Blue Exorcist anime project started off in 2011 as the TV anime series Blue Exorcist. Following the release of the TV series, Blue Exorcist: The Movie was released in 2012, integrating anime-specific story elements with the original story from the manga. The TV series continued with the broadcast of the second cour, Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga in 2017, turning volumes 5 to 9 of the manga into anime. In 2024, the TV anime series was renewed with Blue Exorcist -Shimane Illuminati Saga-, bringing to life the story following the Kyoto Saga. Fierce realities, strong bonds, and betrayals will be revealed with the coming of the Illuminati, an organization shrouded in mystery. A new chapter of upheaval is about to begin… [SYNOPSIS] Yukio parts ways with Rin and makes his way to the Illuminati.
