Synopsis
In a world where human and demon realms—Assiah and Gehenna—exist separately, the only way to cross between them is through possession. Satan, the ruler of Gehenna, wants to conquer Assiah but cannot find a suitable host. To achieve his goal, he sends his son to grow and eventually become a vessel strong enough to contain him. "Blue Exorcist" follows Rin Okumura, a seemingly ordinary and occasionally rambunctious teenager. His life takes a dramatic turn when he is attacked by demons and discovers that he is actually Satan’s son, destined to return to Gehenna to help his father conquer Assiah. Determined not to join forces with his father, Rin decides to become an exorcist and protect Assiah, fighting alongside his brother Yukio.
Background
Ao no Exorcist was licensed by Aniplex and simulcasted in North America. Due to the fact that the source material is on-going, the anime adaption of Ao no Exorcist diverges from it at key points, leading to an anime-exclusive ending.
