Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga (2017–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Mysterious Connections - full transcript
Although the traitor was revealed, the Right Eye of the Impure King has been stolen. While confronting Ryuuji, Rin loses control of his blue flames in front of the gathered exorcists. In ...
Juzo!
Dad, those flames were…
We need to focus
on locating the Right Eye right now.
Listen, I want you to tail Master Tatsuma.
Whatever you do,
make sure he doesn't see you.
The Master?
Ms. Kirigakure, are you Rin's guardian?
Hm?
Nice tush!
Hands off!
Look after Rin, you hear?
Pretty spry for an old fart.
Shura here.
Oh, is that you, Yukio?
What have you been up to?
Did you get the Left Eye back?
Huh? How are things here?
Well, we've had a bit of a situation here.
Huh?
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 5: Mysterious Connections
Yukio!
Shura.
What's going on?
We were late to check in
because of a jamming signal.
Jamming signal?
It prevented us from contacting you,
so our only option was coming in person.
You said there was a situation here.
How so?
Well, about that…
I'm Yaozo Shima,
director of the Kyoto field office.
You must be the Left Eye retrieval team.
We're glad to have you here.
Since all senior staff are present,
I'd like to hold a meeting right away.
Shall we?
Are you okay?
Perhaps the strain was too much for you.
No, I'm fine. I can keep going.
Things would be difficult
if anything happened to you.
But bearing both eyes would be too much
even for me, so let's take a quick break.
No, thank you!
We must take these vile eyeballs
to a safe location without delay!
I am ashamed to say it,
but a traitor has stolen the Right Eye
from the Kyoto field office.
It's likely the perpetrator was also
behind the failed attempt earlier.
Her name is Mamushi Hojo,
intermediate exorcist first class
and former leader of Deep Keep Squad 1.
Mamushi is currently on the run,
thanks to assistance from Todo.
I see.
This means our quarry, Saburota Todo,
already possesses
both the Left and Right Eyes.
You didn't have any luck
with the Left Eye, huh?
The vehicle we were tracking was a decoy.
We found the bodies
of two dead exorcists inside.
Plus, he was thorough enough
to use a signal jammer
to prevent us from reporting it.
It was an elaborate ploy to buy time.
I can't believe it!
Both the Right Eye and Left Eye have--
Director!
What will happen when the Right
and Left Eyes of the Impure King
are brought together?
For the last 150 years, the Myodha Sect
has kept secrets within secrets.
Secrets within secrets?
The only one who knows and safeguards
all of our secrets
is the leader of our sect,
High Priest Tatsuma Suguro.
However,
there is a secret that is divulged
to those of us in the upper ranks.
Which is?
According to "On the Impure King,"
which is passed down
among the upper priest rank alone,
it's said that when his
Left and Right Eyes are united,
an even more potent miasma
will be released.
An even more potent miasma…
I don't believe it,
Todo's objective is to…
I don't know how powerful
this stuff will be,
but it sounds bad.
It might be more than the Knights
of the True Cross can handle alone.
In any case, I'd say our priority
is to find Todo and Hojo.
We're currently searching
the most likely places,
but as they vanished into thin air,
we've had no luck picking up their trail.
To prepare for the worst,
I believe we should request assistance
from the Doctors
as well as the other divisions.
Is he planning to release
a powerful miasma?
If so, why not do it
the instant they stole the Right Eye?
Does he have a specific location in mind?
Or is it for another reason entirely?
When I look at you,
it's like I'm looking at my past self.
As far back as I can remember, I'd been
on a track fate had laid out for me,
unable to even vent
the doubts I had for years,
and I worked my whole life like a good dog
for the good of the Order, of my family.
But what do I have to show for it
after a life of that?
Nothing.
Even if you don't understand them now,
my words will wend
their way through your body.
When the day comes, I will welcome you
with open arms, Yukio Okumura.
Saburota Todo…
I feel as though he has another motive.
Something far more sinister.
Yukio.
Yes?
So, about that situation
I mentioned earlier.
What is it?
Well, um…
Is it about my brother?
Sharp as always!
What did he do this time?
He flared up, and everybody saw it.
That idiot!
All right. Where is he now?
Solitary Confinement Block 1
The Koma Sword. Also known as Kurikara.
It's a legendary demon-slaying
sword from ancient times.
I have transferred your demonic
powers to this sword,
and sealed them in its scabbard.
Once drawn, your demonic powers
will be awakened,
and you can never go back
to being human again.
Shut up!
All your yammering
is getting on my nerves!
You go around labeling people…
I'm not a weapon or a demon king
or anybody's savior!
I'm Rin Okumura!
I'm gonna be the most powerful
exorcist ever one day!
And don't you bastards forget it!
It was reckless to say
he would pass the exam in six months.
As of now,
Rin will become an exorcism target.
His life is hanging by a thread.
Pretty much.
What are we gonna do?
There's no precedent for this.
Take this seriously.
I swore on our father's grave
that I would protect Rin.
Solitary Confinement Block 1
Do you know what it takes
to be a good exorcist?
To have heart, technique,
and physique, right?
The main thing is to be honest with
yourself and not to repress your emotions.
Demons take advantage of stuff
like pent-up anger and intense stress.
As far as that goes,
Rin has the makings of a fine exorcist.
People like you, on the other hand,
are dangerous.
You're the type that'll get turned.
Come on, try opening up and cutting loose.
All right, if I'm being honest…
I can say that I've always hated you.
Good, that's more like it!
Wait, you're still working?
Ms. Kamiki!
Don't worry, I'll be done
once I finish making these fever reducers.
No, I didn't mean that.
There was an earthquake a while ago.
An earthquake?
Oh, yeah, I suppose there was!
Good grief. There's such a thing
as being too focused.
Plus, you're chipper again
all of a sudden.
That's weedy resilience for you.
Well, I can't stay mopey forever, right?
Well, you're finally back
to your usual self.
How am I usually?
Usually?
You're always ditzy and smiling,
and you have nerves of steel,
the way you can go up and talk to anyone.
That's your usual self, right?
Th-That's how people see me…
I see.
But I'm… n-not really like that.
You see,
up until a little while ago,
I thought I was getting close to you all.
But Rin and Yuki were both
carrying such a huge burden…
You mean how Rin Okumura
is the spawn of Satan?
They were always around me,
but I never noticed.
When I realized I was useless in a pinch,
I got scared.
I lost my confidence in everything I did.
And then I would just keep messing up.
I wasn't even able to start
a conversation with Rin.
So…
I have to pull myself together! And
I'm starting with my specialty! Laundry!
Are you saying you and Rin Okumura are…
Ma'am!
Izumo! You look awesome
in that yukata!
Moriyama! Bon's been hurt,
so could you find some ice?
O-Of course!
He's hurt?
All right, what happened?
The Right Eye's been stolen
from the field office.
No way! That can't be!
Also… Okumura's been taken into custody.
Custody?
He flared up, and everybody saw it.
Th-Then… Where's Okumura?
In a cell at the field office.
Uh… Doesn't that mean
Rin is in serious trouble?
Rin…
Have you cooled off a little?
How does your body feel?
I still feel wobbly…
but I guess I can move.
Well, you heard him.
You say you're going to make me eat your
dust, and here you are in a jail cell.
Is this what you meant when you said
you'd make my jaw hit the floor?
Suguro's dad slipped this to me earlier.
To: Rin Okumura
I think he meant for me to give it to you.
Why to me?
I haven't looked at it. Read it yourself.
Okay then.
What's it say?
I can't read it.
Seriously?
I knew you were barely literate,
but this is unbelievable!
With kids these days,
I fear for the future.
No way! I can't read this either!
You see!
Cursive script, huh?
I can read enough to get by.
Then please translate for the class,
Mr. Yukio.
Hurry up, read it.
That letter probably says
something about this mess.
Let's hear what he wanted
to say to this idiot.
As you wish.
"Greetings, Rin Okumura.
Allow me to introduce myself.
I am a priest who lives in Kyoto…"
…and my name is Tatsuma Suguro.
The reason I wrote you this letter
is because I have
an important favor to ask you.
But since I'm sure you're confused about
getting a letter from a complete stranger,
I'll begin by telling you
a bit about the past.
I'm a poor writer, so please forgive me
if things are a bit jumbled.
It all began a little bit
before you and Ryuji were born.
So, how is Torako?
Torako…
I was still a young man at the time,
and my pregnant wife was gravely ill.
I was powerless to do anything
as she grew weaker by the day,
and I was at my wits' end.
This all was caused by the miasma given
off by the Right Eye of the Impure King.
Torako!
Tatsuma?
Torako…
The baby and I will both be fine.
So go back to your duties, okay?
Torako!
Master Tatsuma.
The Master wishes to see you.
Tatsuma!
What are you doing?
Do not neglect your daily duties!
Your duty is to protect everyone
from the impurity of the Right Eye!
If you fail to commune with the Buddha
for even a single day,
he will forsake you
and his power will leave you!
I-I am! I have been for seven years!
But in those seven years,
instead of getting better, 15 have died!
Torako can't take much more.
If this keeps up,
she and our unborn child will both--
Can we really save everyone
with the sacred flame?
What else can you do for her now
except tend the sacred flame?
Well…
Observing the noble teachings our honored
ancestor bequeathed us is the best--
Father!
This discussion is over.
I will return to my own duties.
Even though my father had lost my mother,
and had fallen ill himself,
he doggedly continued to perform
his Myodha duties.
My duties will be yours one day.
When I die, you will learn
the real secrets of this temple.
And then you must keep those secrets
for the rest of your life.
Secrets?
If Torako doesn't pull through,
find a new wife who is hardier.
Fathering a successor is
another crucial duty.
Clear your mind and relinquish desire.
Powerless as I was,
I took his words to heart.
I was born the 17th in the line
of Myodha head priests.
Our followers carry out
their duties every day
in order to protect that bloodline.
So I must fulfill my own duties.
Clearing my mind
was how I could protect Myodha…
No, protect Torako and the child
she was carrying.
I made myself believe that
with all my heart.
And then…
from out of the sky…
What?
Protect Master Tatsuma!
I don't believe it.
The sacred flame…
Damn it, that hurt!
-Master Tatsuma!
-Master Tatsuma!
What's the deal with this mountain?
The damn thing's crawling with monsters!
That bastard Mephisto
and his half-assed briefings!
I came here totally under-equipped!
I'm already out of ammo!
Who are you?
We were in the middle of a ritual,
and you ruined it!
Come down from there!
Oh, right. About this…
That's--
This is called the Koma Sword, right?
I'm gonna take it.
And that was my disastrous first encounter
with Shiro Fujimoto,
the man who raised you.
What are you saying?
That sword is Myodha's holiest relic!
I don't believe it.
The Koma Sword is
the Myodha Sect's holiest relic,
and he had a connection
to father through it?
It belonged to Suguro's family
this whole time?
Hurry up, keep reading!
Right!
I'm beat. I could do this
without breaking a sweat 15 years ago.
But the time to put my resolve
to the test has come at last!
Watch over me, Fujimoto!
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 6: A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
I'm gonna kill a kid with this, you know.
That's Myodha's holiest relic!
Shut up! End this farce right now!
You can help them?
You're the kind of person I hate the most!
I doubt the others will ever forgive me.
Are you having regrets?
Mr. Todo, just what are you?
Dad, those flames were…
We need to focus
on locating the Right Eye right now.
Listen, I want you to tail Master Tatsuma.
Whatever you do,
make sure he doesn't see you.
The Master?
Ms. Kirigakure, are you Rin's guardian?

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

Shut up! End this farce right now!
You can help them?
You're the kind of person I hate the most!
I doubt the others will ever forgive me.
Are you having regrets?
Mr. Todo, just what are you?
