＜Introduction

The "material world (Asher)" where humans live and the "nihilistic world (Gehenna)" where demons live. Originally, these two dimensions could not even interfere with each other, but demons possessed all kinds of matter and interfered in the material world.

However, among humans, there are "exorcists" who exorcise such demons.

Kazue Kato's popular comic "Blue Exorcist" began serialization in Shueisha's "JUMP SQ." in 2009 and has sold more than 25 million copies in total. The "Blue Exorcist" anime project began in 2011 with the TV series "Blue Exorcist.

The second TV series, "Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Impuro-oh-hen," broadcast in January 2017, is an animation of the "Kyoto Impuro-oh-hen" from the fifth volume of the original story. In "Blue Exorcist Shimane Keimei Yusha-hen" broadcast in January 2024, "Gakuen, Seven Wonders Arc" and "Shimane, Secret Society Arc" from the 10th volume of the original work were animated.

The "Yukinogatari Arc" will feature episodes of Shura Kirigakure confronting her destiny and the darkness of the Knights of the True Cross. The "Last Night Arc" will explore the secret of Rin Okumura and Yukio's birth - the truth behind the "Blue Night". The story finally reveals the core of "Blue Exorcist".

Latest PV with the opening theme "RE RESCUE" by Reol

Comments from Reol

My name is Reol, and I will be performing the opening theme for the "Blue Exorcist: Yukinoka-hen".
The title of the song is "RE RESCUE".
Sometimes we yearn for someone who is completely different from us, and sometimes we are confronted with unbearable feelings such as jealousy and envy on both hands, and we are confronted with the fact that this is the difference between us.
Still, I don't want to give up on being with him, and I hope that one day we will be.
Both Rin, who is straight-forward, and Yukio, who thinks too much, are clumsy, and that is why they are attracted to each other.
I hope that this song, guided by the work Blue Exorcist, will be someone's salvation like theirs in the story.
