Okumura!

Okumura!

I drew it!

Om!

Shura!

Leave Suguro to me!

No ordinary human can take out that monster now!

You're our only hope!

You promised me, remember?

You said you'd prove that Shiro was right to save you!

So put up or shut up!

Yeah!

Go for it.

Rin...

All you lack is confidence.

Win a place for yourself in this world!

S-So... how do I beat this thing?

Not gonna be that easy, huh?

Suguro!

Episode 11: Shine Bright as the Sun

The barrier!

Bon! Something's happened to Bon!

H-Hold on! The miasma's gonna flow towards the city!

No. Fortunately, this heavy rain is keeping the spores from spreading.

For now, anyway.

As I thought, it didn't hold.

So, what now?

Hell's lid is open, and this spirit can walk the Earth.

You humans are worthless!

This ain't good...

They said it'd be bad if the miasma got out, right?

To the Exorcists who are battling the monster,

allow me to offer you a quote from Nietzsche's "Beyond Good and Evil":

"He who fights monsters must take care,

lest he himself become a monster in the process."

"For when you gaze long into the abyss,

the abyss gazes also into you."

Todo!

Where is he?

It's just too fast! I can't believe his regenerative ability is so powerful!

I did tell you not to underestimate Karura's regenerative abilities, didn't I?

It seems that killing me is currently beyond your team's abilities.

I have a good handle on Karura's abilities now,

so perhaps it's time for me to leave.

But before I do...

Mr. Yukio Okumura...

you've piqued my interest.

You monster!

Monster?

"I hate myself most of all!"

Such naive self-denial.

That's the first step towards being corrupted by a demon.

I'm not like you, demon!

Demon...

That's right... He's a demon!

I forgot the most basic rule of exorcism:

Never listen to a demon's temptations!

Thanks to this rain,

these Naiad magic bullets should be two or three times more powerful than normal.

I have to stay calm.

Your own big brother is a demon, so what do you have against them?

What's so bad about demons?

You have the makings of one in you.

Come on, show it to me once more.

I'm normal!

I'm not like you!

So you reject demons to your dying—

Mr. Shima? Was that you?

I'll ask you one last time, you bastard!

Who are you, and what are you after?

Excellent! That's a fine look on your face!

That's the face of a demon. That's the real you.

But it's still too soon.

I can't spoil the fun just yet.

Die!

Hey! Are you okay?

I'm fine.

What about the rest of you? Can you stand?

He'll regenerate soon.

We should give up on capturing him.

Let's focus on getting away!

Our main force is inside that flame barrier, so—

The barrier is collapsing!

Let's hurry and join the others while the rain is keeping the miasma down.

Join up with our main force ASAP!

Damn it...

That's the face of a demon. That's the real you.

Damn!

Damn! Damn!

Gaze into the abyss!

What was I...

Old man!

Give me strength!

How pathetic! I cannot bear to watch!

What's that?

A-A demon?

Demon, angel, Myo-O,

such things are names that humans give us for their own convenience.

The question is, what are you,

you human, wreathed in divine flames?

I am the Impurity-cleansing Vajra! Ucchusma!

The Impure King is my age-old foe!

And that blade was originally our lord's personal weapon.

If you would defeat him, I shall show you how to harness and channel flame!

I don't really understand, but go ahead, Ucchusma!

Oh, very well.

Oh?

Repeat the mantra and sutra that I will now chant!

Wh-What are you trying to do?

We shall call forth a Fireburst Samadhi!

Well I'll be, a blue Ucchusma!

The Koma sword is a demon blade

originally possessed by a Buddhist flame demon whose lord is Fudo.

Even now, when it houses Rin Okumura's demon heart,

that ability remains unaffected.

This is an unexpected twist, but is entertaining all the same!

The Fireburst Samadhi incinerates anything in the material world.

If I were to use your demon flame,

I shall be able to cleanse the Impure King from the face of this entire mountain.

W-Wait just a minute!

What do you mean, the entire mountain? There's a lot of people up here!

What of it? That's of no consequence.

Those who set foot in the Impure King's castle,

those touched by his underlings, they have all been contaminated!

All must be cleansed without exception!

The Impure King will regenerate again from the smallest remnant.

Let's go!

W-Wait!

There's no time to doubt.

I'll take out just the Impure King without burning any people!

Can I do it?

I'll just have to!

There is no time to dawdle! Let us begin!

Good!

The words are popping into my head as clear as day!

Now, release it as you chant the sutra!

Fireburst Samadhi!

What's happening?

Why do you hesitate?

Pour more power into it!

I-If I put any more into it—

I feel like the person I am will be burned away!

It's no good! I'm not strong enough to get ahead of the fungus' growth rate!

My only option is to pull Ms. Kamiki out!

Nee! Can you give me a lift up there?

Nee!

Enough, already! You don't know when to stop!

You used your demon too much! You'll die!

Why?

I hate your guts! So just leave me here!

Go away!

What you think of me...

...doesn't matter!

That's right...

I was okay with just this.

H-Hey! Shiemi Moriyama!

Yes?

Idiot! I mean it, you're such a...

Even if you hate me, I still like you a lot!

W-We can't sit around here! Hurry!

We have to carry the master down the moun—

What's that blue light?

That shape... It's the Fireburst Samadhi!

It's on a whole other level than the one I summoned!

What's happening up there?

Hey, Four-eyes!

How can this be happening? It can't be!

I'm being...

swallowed up by the flames!

I...

My whole life, my power was supressed!

And I've had to tolerate it!

Stop... doing this!

Well, I'm sick of it! I'm free!

I'm gonna smash everything!

The beast that burns the world to cinders, that's me!

That's the real me!

I'm not afraid.

Shiemi!

See? Not a single burn on me!

You did that!

Oh, right.

Everybody believed in me.

I can't let them down.

That's...

All personnel, retreat!

Blue flames?

It can't be! They're coming this way!

We'll be fine, I know it.

What do you mean, "fine"?

They're warm.

I knew it...

Rin!

Huh?

What's this?

Only the fungal filaments are being cleansed by the flame.

Just what are these flames?

The Impure King's splatter is disappearing!

I can see the ground!

The way's clear! Let's move, Koneko!

Right!

Wait, you two!

Let's go, too!

- All who can walk, follow us! - Yes, sir!

Magnificent!

A fitting bonfire for a spirit's return to the underworld!

This is the birth of the blue exorcist, one destined to kill his own kind!

The cleansing is complete.

I shall depart.

Which are you, I wonder?

Human?

Demon?

The day will come when you'll have to choose.

Suguro? You still with us?

Yes...

What the heck happened?

See for yourself.

Okumura.

Suguro, Shura...

I...

I-I did it! I controlled my flames!

My fine control isn't quite there yet,

but I'm confident I can decide what gets burned now!

Okumura!

Bon!

Koneko! Shima!

You're okay!

Konekomaru! I can finally control my power now!

I made sure I didn't burn anything but the Impure King!

Oh, I see.

Man, that was a really strange experience.

We were engulfed by flames, but it didn't even tingle.

Everyone afflicted by the miasma, myself included, was cleansed.

Within your blue flames.

What amazing power! We can't thank you enough!

Gosh, if you go on like that, you're gonna make me blush!

Okumura... Thank you.

I mean it. Please forgive me!

Wh-Why are you crying? I forget, did something happen?

Koneko dwells on stuff too much. You know?

Whoa! You're alive, Bon?

I assumed you'd kicked the bucket.

Just kidding.

- Sorry for making you worry. - O-Okumura?

- Who was worried? - Hey! Cut it out!

Rin!

Oh, it's Yukio! So you're okay, too!

Shura, what is my brother doing here?

Who let him out of his cell?

Don't you remember? I already apologized for that.

Did you see, Yukio?

I saved everybody here!

I bet you're so surprised your jaw hit the floor!

It ain't gonna be long before I make you eat my dust!

Get serious! Do you understand the mess you're in?

Yeah, I understand.

I finally get it now.

I'm...

the spawn of Satan, and I can't escape my powers.

I've always been afraid of facing, or even acknowledging them.

But that was wrong...

This is me.

This is also who I am, Yukio.

Until I accept my power, I'll never be able to make any headway.

So Yukio, please also accept...

...my power, okay?

Rin!

Okumura!

Dad...

What should I do from now on?

Tell me!

Dummy. You have to work that out for yourself.

What was I...?

Episode 12: Candid and Open

Brother,

I have something to tell you,

so don't run away.
