EPISODE 8: HAPPY (MERRY XMAS) BIRTHDAY!

Angel! Actually, my investigation has made progress.

What?

Before the Blue Night,

there was a facility known as Section 13 at the Japan branch.

Ever heard of it?

Section 13?

I've never heard of it. What kind of facility was that?

It may have been involved in the founding of the Illuminati.

I'll investigate it further and report it later. Wait for it.

Okay, be careful.

He really doesn't remember anything.

This is the Vatican HQ, right?

Did you come here to meet the Paladin?

No, I just want to calm down.

It's hot!

Where are we?

This is the temple where Azazel, one of the Grigori, resides.

What?!

That Azazel is one of the Grigori?

Remember what Sir Pheles said?

There were kings who bestowed knowledge on humans to fight demons.

I never thought it was one of the Baal.

In Gehenna, there was also a Baal called Sool.

Shemihaza, the King of Creation.

Armumahel, the King of Emptiness.

And Azazel who was in agreement with them.

For each incarnation, to give humans a way to defeat demons,

they mixed with humans and had Nephilim, their descendants, then created the Order.

That's Azazel, the King of Spirit.

Azazel, Shemihaza, and Armumahel allied themselves with humanity.

When their bodies deteriorated,

they didn't seek new ones but chose to fall into a natural state.

There's still a body with flesh remains.

When we first met, he could still talk.

He would still have more flesh a hundred years ago.

Section 13 may have taken his cells to create clones of him.

I wonder if Azazel cooperated.

But since he can't move, he might not care, huh?

Lightning?

I'll go alone.

You can go back first.

No, I'll wait.

Is that so?

It's been a while.

Can you still hear me?

So...

Gramps, you're on humanity's side, right?

BLUE EXORCIST -BEYOND THE SNOW SAGA-

What's everyone doing during the winter break?

I'm not planning to go home.

I'm busy too.

Then I will stay here too.

Shall we study together for the exam since everyone stayed here?

Good idea.

Huh? Since we're all here, a Christmas party would be more fun.

Speaking of Christmas, that's Yukio and my birthday.

Wait, you were born on Christmas?

Actually, it was the 27th, but we usually celebrate together on Christmas.

That makes sense.

I forgot mine this year. No one else remembered it either.

My birthday passed too.

- I was in Shimane on my birthday. - Birthday...

Then let's have a Christmas-Birthday Party!

Shiemi!

Good morning.

Is it true that you won't take the exam?

Huh?!

I heard you submitted the form this morning.

Yes, I decided not to be an Exorcist.

I'm going to run our Futsumaya.

That's why, I'll quit the Cram School before the exam begins.

But not long ago—

Don't be ridiculous!

Your mother opposes it, right?

After the Cram School today, I'll convince her—

Thank you, Kamiki.

But I've decided.

But you are...

Rin, I'm sorry to break our promise.

No, it's fine.

I'm quitting the Cram School, but I'll keep attending High School.

Let's keep getting along.

Well, of course.

I see.

And, I agree with Shima's proposal.

Let's have a birthday party when winter break comes!

Celebrating Christmas and birthdays at the same time sounds fun.

Um, Shiemi?

You have to come too!

Promise!

Yes, I understand.

What's gotten into her?

I've never seen Shiemi going strong on you.

You're right.

But she seems cheerful.

Maybe that's a good change.

It's just my feeling, but...

She's not dying, right?

Say something!

I've been thinking about that too.

You too?!

Me, too.

Even you Bon?

It was just a passing thought.

But it's kinda serious to me.

She was intent on becoming an Exorcist, and worried that she would get opposed.

And earlier she had that determined look in her eyes.

What could happen in just one day to change her like that?

Calm down, everyone.

You're all being unreasonable.

Moriyama's health checkup was excellent.

What could she possibly die from?

That makes sense.

Everyone! We're here!

I have a better idea. Asking her is the quickest way.

Are you stupid? That's her secret.

Not something you'd talk about.

Shima and Nori have been helping.

The groups for purchases are decided, too.

Rin and Miwa will handle the food.

Leave it to us!

Suguro and Yuki will handle the decorations.

Kamiki and Shima will handle the cake.

I'm with him?!

And I'll get the tree.

I'll help a bit, too.

A bit? Aren't you going to come too?

I have dates today and tomorrow.

- With who?! - I know it's messy since

I didn't have enough time,

but I made fliers for the party.

Why are you so eager on this?

You're not dying or—

We'll be going now.

Be careful!

GROUP CAKE

GROUP CAKE This place is very popular, huh?

It's not every day you could eat the cake from this shop, so feel free to leave.

No, I wouldn't. This is my chance to go on a date with you.

Are you still observing me?

Are you still angry at me for being a spy?

Of course.

Be thankful that the others are naive.

Indeed, it would be tough for me if they were still angry.

Their reaction did surprise me.

Yeah.

I never thought that I would be like this either.

To worry about Shiemi Moriyama and lining up to buy a cake.

That's how you differ from me.

Not at all.

You're the same as me.

Huh?

You like them, right?

But you're a fool.

It would get hard for you onwards.

So be careful.

There you go again.

You'll help me when the time comes, right?

The others might be soft,

but if I face you as an enemy again and show you no mercy.

So scary!

You're so heartless!

Be nice to me!

She's so cute.

GROUP DECORATIONS

So cheap.

I don't know about things like these, so I'll leave it to you.

If you're busy, I can handle this alone.

Besides, you're injured.

No, I can use my hand.

And you've been busy yourself.

I heard Lightning has been dragging you around.

That must be hard.

No, I like to follow him around.

Shiro?

Shiro Fujimoto?!

Even I recognize the face of the former Paladin.

He looks young in the photo, but I'm certain.

Shiro Fujimoto is Azazel's clone?

What's going on here?

The pages skip from Shiro to Rokuro.

Where's Goro's experimental record?

None of the other clone records are missing.

What does this mean?

What are you doing?

I think this Goro is Satan.

But someone took his record.

Satan was Azazel's clone.

The Okumura brothers have blood ties as Nephilim to Azazel.

What exactly are Assiah and Gehenna?

What exactly is this world?

Ryuji.

You should rest.

I'll take it from here.

Wait!

Ever since we got back, you've done nothing but sleep and eat.

Do some investigating!

I'd try to sleep when I reached a dead end.

That's why I've been sleeping all the time.

My classmates are having a Christmas party tomorrow.

Can I go?

Sounds fun. You should go.

Listen. Even if I order you, it's not like you have to follow it.

You need to relax, it's important.

If you tackle everything head-on, you'll go crazy.

I understand.

Then, I'll take a break.

Have a good rest.

ENTERING WINTER BREAK

The tree is finished.

Hold on, that's Nee.

That's a real tree.

You're good at this, Suguro.

We made these when we were kids.

This brings back memories.

My brother and I weren't good at this.

The things we made always look awful.

But our father put them up anyway.

He said, quantity before quality.

So we never got any better.

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

I just thought it was a nice story.

Shall we put this one up too?

Father.

Father! Where are our real parents?

I see, I guess the time has come.

I found you under a bridge on the cold morning of December 27th.

So I don't know your parents.

Anyway, I found you, so there's no need to worry.

After you eat, brush your teeth, and go to bed.

That must be a lie.

I'm sure he knows.

Why won't he tell us?

He says he doesn't know, then he doesn't know.

And I don't want to know.

Why not?

Why doesn't he want to know?

I want to know.

SHIEMI MORIYAMA

SHIEMI MORIYAMA Looks like I got here first.

Thank you, Nee!

I'll give you some water.

That's dangerous!

What's going on?

Fire!

What about the cake?

It's safe.

Izumo!

Nee is a living creature.

It's only natural that he would roll over in his sleep.

I can't believe it.

Everything is gone at once.

But why? Why?

Boys are the worst. Are you okay?

It can't be helped. Let's make the remaining foods.

Into a hot pot party!

Happy (Merry Xmas) birthday to we!

Isn't "to us" the correct one?

JUZO

The truth is, Mamushi and I are going to have a baby.

Seriously? Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Everyone!

Nori!

Who's that?!

TRUE CROSS ACADEMY BOYS' DORMITORY

See you.

Good night.

I forgot. I have presents for everyone.

I picked them up yesterday, so they're still fresh.

A four-leaf clover. It's a charm.

I thought it would come in handy from now on.

Good luck with your exams, everyone.

What is this?

Is this your final farewell?

You said you wanted to be an Exorcist.

Are you gonna die?!

Of course not!

I'm sorry but I can't tell you the reason.

But I'm not dying or going away.

I'll be right here.

I can't fight by your side, but I'll support you from Futsumaya.

I'm curious about Shiemi, but tonight was fun.

I'm tired.

But it's great to do this at least once.

I guess so.

Hey, I drank too much.

Give me water.

Both of you are 16 now, huh?

Since I'm dressed like this, shall Santa Shura give you a present?

Huh?!

No, not something lewd.

I met your mother.

Just once.

Her name was Yuri Egin.

Really?!

It's not a big deal.

I was just a kid back then. Do you want to know?

Of course, this is important to hear from someone who met her directly.

Sure.

It was eighteen years ago.

Shiro didn't know how to handle me after he took me from Hachiro.

He brought me to Yuri.

Yuri, I need help!

Huh?

You owe me one.

This brat stinks. Do something.

I don't know how to take care of a girl.

Oh dear.

Sorry about this.

It's okay.

I was just going to take a bath anyway, it's fine.

Red hair.

It's so pretty.

Does it taste good?

- Yuri. - Yes?

Will you take care of her for me?

You know that I can't.

Otherwise, she'll go to Asylum.

And I'd rather...

No!

Let go of me, you brat!

She wants to stay with you.

She'll despise me if she stays here.

Or would you like to live here?

Huh?

You'd be her father, and I'd be her mother.

It sounds fun, right?

No, it wouldn't.

Stop joking around, you weird woman.

Is that so?

I think it would be wonderful.

Your mother was bright, kind, and pretty.

I would never compare to her.

Her eyes were like Rin's.

She had lots of moles, like Yukio.

That's all. End of story.

Happy birthday, Rin, Yukio.

Are you awake, Brother?

What do you think about our mother's story?

What do you mean?

I didn't even know her name.

I'm glad to know that she actually existed.

Brother, don't you want to know about our birth?

According to the Order, she was the sinner who bore Satan's sons.

Most of her data is classified.

But I want to know more.

About our birth, and why is it all kept secret.

Don't you care about it?

That's right. I'm sure it isn't a nice story.

What good could come from knowing it?

We learned on our birthday that she was pretty and kind.

That's enough for me.

Where are you going?

Toilet.

Don't screw with me!

Our birthday?!

We don't even know when we were born!

You're the person who always rushes first, so why?!

Why are you so hesitant about this?!

Who's the scaredy cat now?!
