01x01 - Shiro and Yuri

[bunniefuu]

Is this the past?

Someone's behind me? Since when?

Later, you will know him
as the priest, Shiro Fujimoto.

Mephisto? You came too?

Nope. I'm Mephisto


No way! You look the same
as you do in the present.

Demon vessels may deteriorate,
but they don't age.

Besides, I'm the King of Time.

Bodies may change,
but I myself am a constant.

No matter which era you visit.

So, I'll be your guide in the meantime.

But don't forget that

this journey will end in tragedy.

Got it.

Where are we?

The time and place are not so different.

This is a low-rent district on the
north side of True Cross Academy Town.

Forty years ago, it was a dangerous area

full of deserted buildings the homeless
and criminals used for shelter.

Yuri!

Don't wander around this late! Let's eat!

Yes!

Yuri?

Don't tell me...

She's the young Yuri Egin.

Your and Mr. Okumura's mother.

I knew it.

Also, you must not interact
with people in the past.

You don't need to worry about time
paradoxes, but it does cause confusion.

I don't get it, but... it means I
shouldn't cause any trouble, right?

Roger that.

Well then...

You shouldn't wander about
after dark, Yuri.

That's right.
There are dangerous people around.

They might gouge out your eyes
like they did to Obaba.

Actually, I kinda like it.

It makes me look like a pirate.
Cool, isn't it?

It's not funny!

Humans are one thing,

but there are terrifying creatures
that crawl out from the darkness.

Oku and Obaba used to be Exorcists.

I am not scared of ghosts.

Yuri, ghosts are worse than humans.

Because they reveal the human heart.

It's fine.

After all, I met a blue fireball
the other day.

And it wasn't scary at all.

Blue fireball?

It must be Rinka.

Rinka?

It's a mysterious flame
seen all over the world.

Some say it's dead souls,
others say the fires of Hell.

It's a mystery!

That's scary.

Others say that it takes temporary forms
such as goblins, fairies, or even foxes.

Amazing!

I want to be friends with it!

Obaba! Stop talking like that!

You'll turn her into a weirdo.

Weirdos are much more fun anyway.

She has to go to school soon.

She's growing up so fast.

She was just a newborn when
you found her lying in the junkyard.

I was so worried about how this would go.

Yeah.

Oku, you still have
your Exorcist license, don't you?

Shouldn't you be working again?

I would myself if my eyes
were better, but...

It's about time you two
live properly on your own.

Rent a house and all that.

No.

It took all of us to raise her.

Besides, being together is more fun.

She seems happy. I'm glad.

Let's move forward a bit.

Huh? There's no ground?

Quiet. Look, there she is.

Today, let's play house!

Hello.

Dear guest, welcome to our house.

I just made coffee.

Please wait right here.

Don't mind me.

Here you go.

This is too sad.
She should get some friends.

Isn't that just how kids are?

Rinka?

It's Satan.

What?

Back then, it was called Rinka.

It would appear and then
disappear for no reason.

What's she doing?

I did it!

How about this?

Awesome!

How about this?

Is she playing with him?

Yeah.

Though Satan didn't have an ego back then,

so I'm not sure if it knew
it was playing or not.

This was probably its first
intelligent interaction.

Yuri! You shouldn't play here!
It's dangerous!

'Kay!

Bye-bye.

What were you doing?

Playing house.

If all that junk collapsed,
you'd be buried alive.

But there are so many fun things here.

Let's move forward again.

Fire?

Wasn't this place...

Oku...

Oku!

Niko!

Obaba!

Don't get in the way! Stay back!

Oku!

I heard they found three charred bodies.

Those homeless must have left
a fire going anyway.

Give us a break, please.

It's just too sad.

Stop.

Don't help her.

Excuse me. Would you share some food?

Shoo! Piss off, filthy brat!

If you don't have money, then get lost.

A house?

With a bed.

And difficult books.

Niko said these are dirty books.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Hey, you.

What are you doing in my place?

I'll k*ll you!

BLUE EXORCIST: THE BLUE NIGHT SAGA

Pops?

Wow.

It really looks like him.

I'm sorry.

I'm Yuri.

My whole family died,
and I had nowhere to go.

Like I care.

Don't expect any sympathy from me.

Get out before I k*ll you.

You ate a whole bag?

But if I go outside,
I'll die because of the cold.

Then die.

I don't care.

You're the yeti!

Huh?

Obaba said that the yeti is
all white, tall, cold and terrifying!

Just like you! Even though you could
just let me stay until the snow stops!

But you're too mean!

I gain nothing by helping you.

I built this place to be my hideout.

I can't have other people
hanging around here.

"Gain"?

Then, how about this dirty book?

Don't look at that!

You like it, right?

Shut up!

I know a place where
there's a bunch of books like that.

When the snow stops in the morning,
I'll take you there.

So let me stay here until then!

It's something to gain for you, right?

Right?

-Right?
-Fine.

You can stay until morning.

That place better have books
about big boobs.

Big boobs?

It's embarrassing.

Wait, what?

Where's Mephisto?

So cold.

What are you doing?

Snuggles keep you warm.

Don't you know?

Or is it because yetis can't get warm?

I'm not a yeti.
What's wrong with you, seriously?

Or maybe I am, who knows?

After all, I'm not human.

You're warm.

Even yetis can be warm.

Mom sort of reminds me of Shiemi.

That's complicated.

Even yetis can be warm, huh?

Yukio.

Walk quietly. We have to catch him.

Crap!

Found you.

Just give up, Shiro.

Fine.

It's a nice hideout.

Is this where you've been
since you ran away?

You're the only one from the Azazel group
to do this kind of thing.

And who's this girl?

I don't know.

She's just a homeless kid
who snuck in on her own.

She heard us.

But she's...

She's an orphan,
so she has no one to tell.

A dog?

You can see this black dog?

If she can see demons,
that changes everything.

Take her back to the Asylum
and find out who she is.

Asylum?

What's that place like?
Is it a nice place?

It's a horrible place.

You've got terrible luck.

When I was a kid, I was alone.

I didn't know how to hold back
my feelings or my strength.

I often hurt other people.

Before I knew it,
everyone was scared of me.

But I had Yukio.

And Pops provided me with
a place to go home to.

I'm sure that was what
they call happiness.

But I've never experienced
true loneliness.

So, I don't know how lonely
my mother feels right now.

I can't even imagine it.

Is this the Asylum?

It's dark.

Isn't this the Exorcism Cram School?

Was it called Asylum 40 years ago?

Good work.

These are the children I mentioned
that I'd like you to take care of.

We'll take them in.

What's your name?

Yuri.

And your last name?

Um...

Never mind.

Come with me, Miss Yuri.

First, you need to clean yourself.

You can't sleep on the bed
all dirty like that.

Shiro, you come here.

Hey! Where are you taking him?

You come with me.

We have checked your background.

Your name is Yuri Egin.

The Egin family ran a conglomerate,

but it fell to ruin
after the business dissolved.

Its members have scattered,
your mother has died,

and your father's missing.

In other words, you're alone and helpless.

Therefore, you will be formally
admitted to the Asylum.

I can't read.

Any questions?

Questions?

Uh, what kind of place is Asylum?

This is a facility that shelters
talented children like you.

What talent?

The talent to be an Exorcist.

Exorcist?

Correct.

From now on, you're going to learn
how to become an Exorcist.

Learn?

She has to go to school soon.

Is this place a school?

You can think of it like that.

In this place,
you must get up at 6:00 a.m.,

and then clean the dorm after roll call.

After breakfast, you have general
education from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

From 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., you study
and train to become an Exorcist.

After dinner, physical training
until 10:00 p.m.

Lights out at 11:00 p.m.

Going out is generally prohibited.

Oku and Obaba were Exorcists.

If I become one too, Oku might be angry.

But Obaba will be happy.

And then, Niko...

Be quiet!

What are you giggling about?

You're keeping me awake.

I'm sorry.

Most kids cry on their first night here.

You're not crazy, are you?

Why do they cry?

Because the training is hard.

I see.

Actually, I enjoyed studying demons.

What did you say?

That's good.

When you become an Exorcist,
you get to work and be free.

If you're good, then you'll become
an Exwire and join the elite course.

Ex-what?

Exwire.

If you become one, you get your own room.

And I heard the pay is good.

Girls tend to get chosen
more often, so good luck.

If you have questions, just ask me.
I've been here a while.

Thank you.

Have you seen a mean boy
with white hair here?

He's like a yeti.

A yeti?

Yes, I think his name is Shiro.

I don't know. I've never heard of him.

I see.

This place is like the military.

But she seems to have calmed down.

Do your best, Mom.

I recognize this place.

Come in.

I've brought him here.

Good work. You may go now.

Yes, sir!

All right...

So you're from Azazel group.

Subject number SO-004, Shiro. Correct?
