Blue Exorcist (青の祓魔師)

Crap.

It's about to...

No...

Ugh, that reeks!

I don't believe it, is that...

...the Impure King's heart?

Suguro! Suguro!

Hey! Are you okay?

Suguro!

Crap!

Suguro!

My, what a dramatic turn of events!

The enemy's complete restoration!

The life of a human dear to him in peril!

So, what will you do,

my small youngest brother?

Episode 10: Unbowed and Unbroken

Doctor!

The miasma is too thick!

If this keeps up—

Director Shima!

The miasma is being contained by the flame barrier!

We should move outside and come up with a plan!

We have no choice!

Retreat! All personnel, retreat outside the barrier!

That's the Impure King's... true form?

So the big boss has finally shown himself, huh? Okay, you damn pizza bun!

Even if it kills me, Kinzo Shima will never turn tail and—

You young fool! What good will dying do? Hurry up and run!

Hurry! All personnel escape outside the barrier!

Now, then.

Well, well. How fascinating.

So you're being blessed by Ucchusma...

Mr. Shima?

Are you all right? Get clear.

No, I can still fight.

How do my eyes look to the others?

What happened earlier?

So you have an Agni and I have Karura, eh?

I wonder which will be the stronger.

Let's have a test of strength, shall we?

We're gonna burn you to nothing!

Ucchusma, unleash your wrath! Fire Wheel Chakram!

He absorbed them?

Over here!

Mr. Shima...

Do you remember what I taught you?

In the table of demonic elements,

in the case of two identical elements, the stronger absorbs the weaker.

Plus, Karura's regenerative ability is so effective it's almost unfair.

So in a test of strength, I believe I win.

Karura?

Does this mean he's been possessed by the Phoenix?

I have nothing to gain from you lot.

So I'll obliterate you.

Not only is he absorbing our flames to strengthen himself, he's an upper-level demon!

Shouldn't we withdraw for now? We're at a disadvantage.

Excuse me.

Will you listen to my idea?

What is it? Out with it.

My goodness. Are they holding a planning session now, of all times?

This plan of yours will cost us dearly!

But if this continues—

Minami!

Don't be insolent.

It will cost us either way! We'll go with it!

All right, then.

Narumi and Shishamo, take point!

Right!

Kumagai and Chigusa, focus on reinforcing my flame!

Yes sir!

Let's see if you can help me to learn something after all.

Weren't you listening? Flame attacks are like adding fuel to my fire.

Or... perhaps I should say they're like dessert.

Weasel!

Fireburst Samadhi!

Honestly, how many times do I have to say it before you understand?

Think things through before you act.

Even as a student, you had the bad habit of being short-tempered.

You really should try to fix that.

No, the one who came up with this was four-eyes over there.

What?

A demon and its host must be of equivalent natures.

If it goes on absorbing flame,

as the vessel, Todo's physical body will become unable to contain them...

What's this phenomenon?

...which will trigger an overload.

And if the demon Todo switched to is Karura, the Phoenix,

his damaged bodily tissue will turn to ash!

Oh, I see.

You were trying to make me overheat, were you?

So the lesson here is to avoid overindulging in dessert.

That was a good lesson.

But you really shouldn't underestimate Karura's regenerative ability.

I see!

Rain, eh?

Even if it's immortal,

if your body's reduced to ash and dissolved in water, regenerating will be difficult.

All right, you got me.

I can't believe this...

It worked?

This will only buy us some time.

If we don't immediately split up and store the parts of his body,

he'll eventually regenerate.

Understood.

Chigusa! Kumagai!

Take Minami and the others back to the main group and request backup.

Right!

What about you?

I'll be fine.

Get going!

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

I'll check.
