Blue Exorcist (青の祓魔師)

I don't believe it...

The Koma Sword is the Myoda sect's main object of worship,

and he had a connection to father through it?

Hurry up, keep reading!

Oh. Right!

Man, I'm getting a bad feeling about this...

I don't know what Suguro's dad wants to ask me to do, but...

Rin?

Yukio, keep reading that letter.

So, this is the former stronghold of the Myoda sect.

Goma Hall is in the back. We should hurry.

Indeed.

Do you really think it'll be safe in there, though?

Fudobu-ji Temple was built around Goma Hall to protect it.

I expect that the Right Eye was originally kept sealed there.

Returning it to its original resting place is the wisest choice, wouldn't you agree?

It's been a while since I last came up this mountain.

Seven! Eight! Nine! Ten!

Come back here, you monkeys!

Uh-oh, here she comes! Run!

It brings back memories...

Mamushi!

Stay away from this place!

Oh, dear.

So this is where you've been, Mamushi.

Your father has been worried sick.

Ready to come home?

Ms. Hojo.

Is this Goma Hall?

Yes.

This was once a sacrosanct place that only the head priest was allowed to enter.

If I do this, I doubt the others will ever forgive me.

But now, it's just an empty shell, without a master or holy relic...

The goma altar's sacred flame is lit!

There should be some sort of hidden door somewhere.

Let's look for it.

All right.

Until the Master... Until Tatsuma Suguro proves he is worthy of my trust,

I must do this!

Episode 6: A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

The Koma Sword.

A demonic sword passed down as the Myo-O Dharani sect's main object of worship.

Also known as Kurikara.

It is said that Fukaku, Myoda's founder,

summoned a fire demon named Karura into this sword,

and used its flames to defeat the Impure King.

Ever since, the Myoda have passed down the sword as their main object of worship,

kept the Right Eye sealed away,

and have had a strict rule about remaining apart from the secular world.

Then, as if to mock all of that, he appeared before me.

Wh-What are you saying? That's Myoda's main object of worship!

Quit yapping! I know, chrome dome!

Anyway, the thing's empty, right?

How dare you speak of things you don't understand!

Yaozo!

How long do you intend to continue defiling our relic, you thief?

Did you get him, Yaozo?

That's our Yaozo!

N-No, it wasn't me...

The maniac was gravely injured the whole time!

What?

I'm amazed he could even move with these wounds.

Who is this guy?

What do you wish done with him, Master Tatsuma?

You awake?

Shiro Fujimoto, Senior Exorcist First Class. Order of the True Cross, Japan Branch.

Where am I?

Fudobu-ji, Kongo-Shinzan.

You collapsed.

We couldn't leave you like that, so we brought you to the temple.

Are you kidding? You should've just left me where I was!

You're a real soft touch, aren't you?

Uh, you got a light?

Hey, what are you—

That can wait, Fujimoto.

Just how much do you know about our relic... About Kurikara?

Why do you want to take it?

Hell if I know. I just came here on orders from my bosses.

But I think they're gonna use it to kill a kid...

Kill... a child?

He said that without batting an eye!

If you can move, I must ask you to leave at once!

Whatever the circumstances may be, I cannot tend to a child killer!

Don't worry, I'll leave. After I get the Koma Sword.

You haven't given up on that?

You don't have the slightest idea where in Fudobu-ji it might be!

No sweat, I'll just bust into all of your temples until I find it.

No, there's probably no time for that. It'd be faster to just ask you.

So tell me. Where's the sword?

Th-This man is—

Come on, really? You wanna fight me with that?

Stop it before you get hurt.

Hey! Wait!

Where are you—

No, that's— Don't go in there!

Wha—

Wh-What the hell is this?

Stop this!

What do you think you're doing?

Shut up! End this farce right now!

You monster! Do you know what you've done?

If we stop communing with the Buddha, he will forsake us and withdraw his power!

Then answer me this! Has all your praying helped these people?

You're a coward who plays the saint...

You're the kind of person I hate the most!

These people are way beyond prayer!

You have to pull the toxins that make up the miasma out of their bodies right now!

Y-You can help them?

Yeah! I can save them all. I think.

You there! Bring me radish, onion, heal-all, calamus, rock salt...

Oh, and some eagle claw chili!

Also, some petroleum jelly or beeswax or lard!

Um, right...

Will that save them?

Don't make me repeat myself! As for you, heat up a bunch of water!

Also...

I could use that light.

If this...

If this really helps them...

Then what have we...

Torako...

Tatsuma, I'm—

T...

To...

Torako!

Tatsuma...

I-I honestly thought I was done for!

I... I'm really going to be able to have the baby?

Sure you will!

Thank goodness... I'm so relieved!

Thank you, Fujimoto!

When you showed up to steal the sword,

I thought you were some sort of bandit!

Was I ever wrong about you!

Huh?

That was that. And this is this. Cough up the sword.

I mean, I did save all those lives.

And even taught you the treatment.

I think I'm entitled to a little something for my trouble, don't you?

Tatsuma?

Y-You get some rest, okay?

I thought you were a good person!

Man, you really are the kind of person I hate the most...

Trust me, I ain't.

If you aren't gonna help, I'll find it myself.

You'll never get anywhere if you're afraid to get your hands dirty.

Father?

That's him.

Seize him!

What are you—

He's trying to escape! After him!

Don't let that bandit leave this mountain alive!

Father, what are you doing? That man—

Tatsuma! Don't think this fiasco will go unpunished!

An Order of the True Cross exorcist?

You brought an emissary from those unbelievers into our temple and let him work their foul magic!

You're wrong! Father, that man just saved many lives!

He saved them... He saved Torako!

That makes no difference!

Outsiders who learn anything of the Koma Sword and the secrets of the Myoda,

must be killed!

I have a responsibility to protect Myoda!

Father, what you're protecting is its rules.

I'm...

I'm not like you!

Tatsuma! Where are you going?

Tatsuma!

- He went that way! - Don't let him get away!

Crap, these guys don't give up!

I tore open my wounds, damn it!

Fujimoto!

Tatsuma?

Take it.

The Koma Sword?

I'll show you the way out. Follow me.

Hey, hang on!

What gives? Are you sure about this?

It's all right. I've known all along.

When I was a child, I once secretly drew that sword.

I wanted to see Karura.

But nothing came out. Not Karura, not flames, nothing.

That sword is empty. I've known all these years.

I'm through with praying over an empty sword!

I finally found the will to fight!

Thanks to you!

I'm gonna kill a kid with this, you know.

No, I know you won't.

I can tell.
