Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga (2017–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Strange Bedfellows - full transcript

It's the tower you were talking about!

That's so cool!

Right, guys?

Yo!

Knights of the True Cross
Japan Branch

If you forgive, you can move on

But bitterness will make you stop

Go ahead and blame me for this and that

Forgive everything that stops you

And everyone but me
and keep moving forward

Even if you name it
"a flower that will never wither forever"

That doesn’t mean it will become a flower
that will never wither

"If you keep living honestly,
you'll be rewarded someday"

But you know that’s not true

A certain percentage of what
would happen to you may be your fault

But the rest could
be unfairly no one’s fault

The worst thing you could do
is think you're useless

Go ahead and blame me for this and that

Forgive everyone but me and keep moving on

And please forgive yourself as well

Episode 2: Strange Bedfellows

I'm Kinzo Shima,
envoy from the Kyoto field office.

It's a pleasure to meet you!

Dang it, Kin.
You and that stupid routine…

Please don't let anyone
figure out we're related.

I'm taking you
to where you guys will be staying.

Once you're settled in,

we'll have you assist
with Temptaint victims.

So thanks in advance!

Rin! Look at that! Look!

Man, kill me.
Somebody, just kill me now.

And here we are.

-Thank you for coming.
-Thank you for coming.

Right this way, please.

It's Bon!

-You're right!
-Bon, welcome back!

It's great that you've returned!

Hey! This ain't a personal home visit!

Bon! Sorry for not saying hi earlier!
I didn't see you!

Wow, what a happy occasion!

-Ma'am!
-Listen, dammit!

Ryuji!

You…

You went and dyed your hair!

You lookin' to become a rooster
in the future or something?

Th-This is to motivate me!

Motivation, my foot!

I won't stand for it!

I knew she'd bring up the hair!

Um, what?

Oh, where are my manners?

It's nice to meet you.
I'm Ryuji's mother.

Thank you for looking after our Bon.

You're Suguro's mom?
I always assumed you'd be more--

Oh, this is Bon's family home.

I thought Suguro's family home
was a bankrupt temple.

The temple
couldn't make ends meet anymore,

so I took over my family's inn.

I'd always wondered why they
kept calling him "Bon"!

He's the bon-bon of an inn!

I'm standing right here, Kamiki!

Thank you for putting us up.

Think nothing of it!

We appreciate the continued patronage
of the Knights of the True Cross.

We'll head straight out to
the field office to provide assistance,

but I'll leave half of our Doctors here,

so please use them
to treat Temptaint victims.

Thank you very much.

Suguro, Miwa, Shima.

This is your first visit home in a while,
so go say hello to your families.

Yes, ma'am.

Moriyama, Kamiki, Takara and Okumura,
you'll help with the injured.

That's all. Dismissed.

Yes, ma'am!

Hey! Follow me, kids!

There's so many.

There's another 15 or so
in the guest house out back.

Okay, here's what I want you
to do for now.

They're making an herbal tea antidote
in the kitchen, so go hand it out.

Also, replace any
empty drip bags, all right?

Yes, sir!

Hang on.

Not you, Okumura.

What do you want me to do?

Hm, let me think.

What can you do?
Go pick up… something.

Like what?

Trash, I guess?

Yaozo, we're coming in.

Bon!

Dad!

Dad, are you okay?

Yes.

Yaozo, you don't have to sit up!

Come on, it's not that serious.

Some field office director I am,
stuck in bed.

I need to get back to work
as soon as possible.

Is everyone this hurt?

It's all right.
They're expected to make a full recovery.

I see. That's good to hear.

I'm glad to see you're all right.

Yeah, thanks to these guys.

Konekomaru.

I'm impressed you kept Bon safe.
You're a tough kid.

No! I didn't do anything of the sort!
All I did was run around in a panic.

Dad! Dad! I put my life on the line, too!

All you did was dye your hair pink!

I didn't entrust you with my k'rik
so you could go and dye your hair pink!

Hey, I did my best, too!

Shima also ran around in a panic
as best he could.

Koneko, that's not helping.

My dad…

My dad, is he okay?

The Master got caught in the attack
just as he arrived at the field office,

but he wasn't hurt,
thank goodness, so don't worry.

Where is he now?

Good question.

He goes back to the temple every day,
but who knows?

He doesn't carry a cell phone.

Where is he?

I got a bone to pick
with that chrome dome!

Hey! You there!

Could you give me a hand?

Watermelons!

Those look so good!

They're for the injured.
Can you slice them up and hand them out?

You can have a slice, too.

Will do! I'll slice and dice them!

This guy reeks of booze.

Isn't it a little early
to hit the bottle, Pops?

Some priest you are.

Uh-oh. You found me out, huh?

It's so hot I couldn't help myself.

Talk about a degenerate priest.
You're just like my dad.

I like you, kid.

What's your name?

Rin Okumura.

Oh… So you're him.

Well, who are you, Pops?

Who, me?

I'm Ryuji Suguro's old man!

For real?

Yes, for real!
Can't you see the resemblance?

Really? Suguro looks a lot cooler.

You think?

You must be good friends with Ryuji.

We had a fight.

Oh, dear. You too, huh?

Actually, Ryuji and I
are in the middle of one, too!

You too, huh?

He can be a real pain, can't he?

That's for sure.

But he's a good guy.

So I want to patch things up with him.

I know how you feel.

So this is the Kyoto
field office's Deep Keep?

Yep. It's not much compared to the
True Cross Academy's Deep Keep,

but the wards here are just as formidable.

And yet somebody
waltzed right through both of them.

Good point.

I've been hearing about internal squabbles
within the Myodha Sect.

Could that be related to this?

No! Or, so I wish I could say.

But to be perfectly honest, I can't say
for certain that it's unrelated.

So this is the Right Eye
of the Impure King, huh?

Done! Pops, why don't you carry in
some of these yourself?

Hey, what are you doing?

I'm glad I met you, Rin!
Let's chat again sometime!

Hey! Wait, you--

What did you say?

Don't forget,
the Deep Keep is Hojo jurisdiction!

We're in this mess because
your security was so full of holes!

Watch your tongue!

Wouldn't you say your own lax security
on the upper level was to blame?

That's telling him, Sister!

I thought Kyoto was supposed
to be more refined.

You're always making excuses,
you snake-faced hags!

Stupid monkey!

Fly, k'rik!

Look out!

That's enough!

-Bon!
-Master Ryuji!

Somebody out there is targeting us!

This is no time to
be at each other's throats!

M-My apologies.

I wish you'd say that to the face of
the Head Priest, your father.

The public mocks him as a degenerate
who's a high priest in name only.

Mamushi! Give it a rest!

No. Mamushi is right.

Bon…

Anyway, cut it out.

Is anybody gonna eat
these watermelon slices?

Right?

Yaozo! Thanks for the cucumbers!

Hey, Bon!

Oh, let them. Our temple's poor,
so they can have some in place of a snack.

Bon! Where are you going?

It's a secret!

Ryuji!

Haven't I told you not to come here?

I-I brought an offering for Buddha!

So can I listen to you recite
the sutras again, Dad?

What am I going to do with you?
Fine, come in.

I loved to sit there quietly
and listen to my dad recite the sutras.

Everyone!

I'm sorry, but could I bother you to
take some meals over to the field office?

When you need grunt work done,
I'm your man!

Up we go!

Goodness, you're as strong as an ox!

Hey, Ryuji! Are you just
going to stand there?

-These weigh a ton! Keep it moving!
-Oh, sorry.

Delivery from the inn!

Thanks, good work.

You guys can call it a night
and get some rest.

Sweet! We're finally done!

Ms. Kirigakure.

Would it be okay
if I went out for a bit?

Out where?

Kongo-Shinzan up in Raku-Hoku.

The mountains? To do what?

To see my old man.

No can do.

As your guardian, I can't let you go
traipsing around the mountains after dark.

Don't forget that we're here in Kyoto
on a mission.

Take these juices.
And those bento boxes, too.

Sweet! Food!

Sorry to bother you. I'll turn in early.

Hey, Suguro! Your bento!

Man, you're grumpy.
That's 'cause you haven't eaten.

Eat something! Here, gorilla!

Quit bugging me!

I made him mad…

-I should get going, too.
-Konekomaru! Wanna join us?

Sorry, I want to go pay my respects
to my family.

I see. Well, that's important.

I missed my chance to bail!

Um, well… I guess I should also--

What the hell? You ain't gonna
eat the bento I brought, either?

Hey, this bento is really good! Right?

Hey, man. Aren't you kinda far away?

Am I?

You're scared of me
like everyone else, aren't you?

I'm not scared!

What's with this tension?

If I had to say,
I just don't like hassles.

You don't like hassles?

Lame! Sheesh, you are so uncool!

You called me uncool?
I can't let that slide!

I'm famous for being cool,
I'll have you know!

You?

It's not that funny!

Personal Coolness Rankings:
1 My Old Man 2 Suguro 3 Konekomaru

Look close! On my list of cool people,
you rank somewhere around here!

4 Me 5 Kuro (cat) 6 Yukio

I'm below Kuro?

Nope. You're off the page!

That's just mean!

He's asleep!

What am I doing?

I was trying to avoid you
as much as possible,

but here I am,
talking to you like always.

It's way more of a hassle
to avoid somebody.

Okay, I give!

Damn right! Just give up!

It ain't gonna do any good,
so laugh it up! Laugh it up!

Yeah, I'll do that.

Even Bon, even Koneko…

Everybody's way too uptight.

You're, like, the king of lame.

Why are you talking like that?

I learned that by listening to my dad!

That's amazing, Bon!

You can memorize stuff
after hearing it just twice!

He's a weirdo, a weirdo!
He's not awesome, his head's messed up!

Who's a weirdo?

I'm gonna inherit this temple,
so I gotta be able to--

We can't take it anymore!

We keep losing parishioners!

If this goes on, we won't be able
to feed our families!

I'm leaving the Myodha Sect!

Plus, the thought that there might be
another Blue Night terrifies me!

-Bon!
-Wait!

When I grow up
and take over the temple,

me and my dad will beat Satan!

We're gonna make it
so there'll never be another Blue Night!

We won't let anyone else get hurt!

So please!

Bear with us just a little longer!

Master Ryuji, the Master has moved
the temple's holiest relic elsewhere.

That's a betrayal of his followers…
No, of the Myodha Sect itself.

We can't follow Master Tatsuma anymore.

Wait. Please, wait!

I know Dad will…

Bon.

What's the matter?

Juzo!

Everybody's saying
they're gonna leave the temple!

Are even you and Mamushi
and Shima and Konekomaru…

Is everybody gonna leave?

It will never come to that.

Ever since the Blue Night, there have been
unprecedented hardships for Myodha.

After many lengthy discussions
between us senior priests and the Master,

a decision has been reached.

The Myodha Sect will affiliate itself
with the Knights of the True Cross!

While we may undergo
outward changes,

it won't conflict with
the Myodha Sect's teachings

and their emphasis on pure exorcisms.

The Master has agreed with us as well.

All in favor of adopting this policy,
raise your hand.

Dad!

I heard about
the Knights of the True Cross!

You're gonna become
an exorcist, too, right?

No, I won't.

I'll be letting Yaozo and Uwabami handle
things after the merger with the Order.

That'll put our followers' minds at ease.

Ryuji, you don't need to
worry about that anymore, either.

Well, I'm busy, so I'll see you later.

Dad…

Master Ryuji.

Uwabami!

It's been a long time.

I'm told you defused a situation
between my subordinates earlier.

Thank you for that.

No, don't sweat it.

Master Ryuji.

Are you aware that Myodha followers
are suspected in this incident?

What?

Which is why we've decided
to investigate the matter quietly.

Do you have any suspects?

No. But the office director
is under suspicion, so I must act.

We might uncover something.

Have you contacted my dad?

No. This is an internal Order matter.
The Master has no say in--

He damn well does!

Sorry.

I'll join in, too. Can you bring Dad,
even if you have to drag him here?

Very well.

I'm gonna go to True Cross Academy
in Tokyo for high school.

I'm gonna study exorcisms at
their cram school and become an exorcist.

To lead our followers, I want to learn
as many types of exorcism lore as I can.

I forbid it.

Why?

I told you before! You're free to do
what you want with your life!

You're smart,
and you haven't had a Temptaint!

You can leave this life behind!

You could even take over your mom's inn!

This is what I want to do with my life!
Like I'd take over a stupid inn!

This discussion is over.

You're running away?

You're hardly ever at home,
you refuse to join the Order,

and you've discarded the Myodha Sect!
Running is all you do!

Do you know what everybody
says about you, Dad?

They call you a coward!
A degenerate priest!

Doesn't that piss you off?

Cause… it sure pisses me off!

I'm…

…not gonna run.

What the heck?

This one's the juice?

Why is this happening to me?

Happy Father's Day!

You two are fine artists!

Target is close. Target is very close!

I'll break the glass.

They're dead.

Everything is ready on my end.

How are things going on yours?

If you don't act before they find you out,
you won't get another chance.

After all, this is all for nothing

if the Left and Right Eyes
aren't brought together.

You’re wrong. You have to grab hold
of what you’re searching for

If nothing changes even if you cry

Then it doesn’t matter whether you cry
or laugh, so I thought

The reason I couldn’t protect
what’s precious to me

Was because I was weak, or so I thought

Why do I exist here and now?

I don’t care that no one knows,
as long as you're with me

The crowd point their fingers
at the fire burning indiscriminately

I will definitely become strong
and protect anyone

Thinking of the one I loved,

I'll sweep away this darkness
with my own hand

Next Time

Episode 3: Suspicion Will Raise Bogies

Okay, now I'm mad!

What am I gonna do? At this rate, I…

I… I have nothing.

Master! What's happening?

I've brought you all here for one reason.

To smoke out the traitor in our midst!
