BLUE EXORCIST EPISODE 3 SUMMARY SERIES
In an interview with Anime News Network, Kato said: "I should not run away from these references if I'm working in the Exorcist genre." An ending was planned by Kato but the exact length of the series has yet to be decided based on the manga's popularity in Japan.
Due to exorcists being the main idea of the story, the manga features a lot of Biblical references. She eventually decided on making the story about demons and exorcists, thus conceiving Blue Exorcist. Kazue Kato took inspiration from the 2005 film The Brothers Grimm, as she tried to work the angle of brothers fighting against monsters into a story. Thus begins Rin's journey to become an Exorcist, accompanied by his brother and his fellow students who quickly become his close friends. Much to his surprise, Rin finds that Yukio is already a veteran Exorcist and is one of his teachers. He enrolls at the prestigious True Cross Academy ( 正十字学園, Sei Jūji Gakuen), an exorcist cram school, which is actually the Japanese branch of the True Cross Order ( 正十字騎士團), an international organization dedicated to protect Assiah (human realm) from the Gehenna (demonic realm). Rin wishes to become an Exorcist like his guardian to become stronger and to defeat Satan. From that moment on, Rin not only gains demonic features like fangs and a tail, but also the power to ignite into blue flames that destroy almost anything he touches. Witnessing Shiro dying to protect him, Rin draws the demon-slaying sword Kurikara ( 倶利伽羅), which restrains his demonic powers. One day, Rin learns that he and Yukio are the sons of Satan. The story revolves around Rin Okumura, who, along with his younger twin Yukio Okumura, was raised by Father Shiro Fujimoto, an Exorcist.

In contrast, there are Exorcists, people who train to destroy demons who act in a damaging manner in Assiah. Even so, demons have historically wandered among humans unnoticed, visible only to people who have had contact with demons before. However, any demon is able to pass to the dimension of Assiah through the possession of a living being in it. Originally, a journey between the worlds, or even a contact between them, is impossible. The first is the material world where humans live, Assiah ( 物質界 ( アッシャー )), and the other is Gehenna ( 虚無界 ( ゲヘナ )), the world of demons, which is ruled by Satan.
