Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga (2017–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing - full transcript

I don't believe it.

The Koma Sword is
the Myodha Sect's holiest relic,

and he had a connection
to father through it?

Hurry up, keep reading!

Oh. Right!

Man, I'm getting a bad feeling about this.

I don't know what Suguro's dad
wants to ask me to do, but…

Rin?

Yukio, keep reading that letter.

So, this is the former stronghold
of the Myodha Sect.

Goma Hall is in the back. We should hurry.

Indeed.

Do you really think
it'll be safe in there, though?

The Fudobu-ji temples were built
around Goma Hall to protect it.

I assume the Right Eye
was originally kept sealed there.

Wouldn't it be best to return it
to its original resting place?

It's been a while
since I last came up this mountain.

Seven! Eight! Nine! Ten!

Come back here, you monkeys!

Uh-oh, here she comes! Run!

It brings back memories.

Hey, Mamushi!

Stay away from this place!

Oh, dear.

So this is where you've been, Mamushi.

Your father has been worried sick.

Ready to come home?

Ms. Hojo.

Is this Goma Hall?

Yes.

This was once a sacrosanct place
only the head priest was allowed to enter.

If I do this,
I doubt the others will ever forgive me.

But now, it's just an empty shell,
without a master or holy relic…

The goma altar's sacred flame is lit!

There should be some sort
of hidden door somewhere.

Let's look for it.

All right.

Until the Master… Until Tatsuma Suguro
proves he is trustworthy,

I must do this!

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 6: A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

The Koma Sword.

A demonic sword passed down
as the Myo-O Dharani Sect's holiest relic.

Also known as Kurikara.

It is said that Fukaku, Myodha's founder,

summoned a fire demon named Karura
into this sword,

and used its flames
to defeat the Impure King.

Ever since, the Myodha have passed down
the sword as their holiest relic,

kept the Right Eye sealed away,

and have had a strict rule about
remaining apart from the secular world.

Then, as if to mock all of that,
he appeared before me.

Wh-What are you saying?
That's Myodha's holiest relic!

Quit yapping! I know, chrome dome!

Anyway, the thing's empty, right?

What nonsense are you talking about?

Yaozo!

How long do you intend
to continue defiling our relic, you thief?

Did you get him, Yaozo?

That's our Yaozo!

N-No, it wasn't me.

The maniac was gravely injured
the whole time!

What?

I'm amazed he could even move
with these wounds.

Who is this guy?

What do you wish done with him,
Master Tatsuma?

You awake?

Knights of the True Cross,
Japan Branch.

Shiro Fujimoto,
Senior Exorcist First Class.

Where am I?

Fudobu-ji, Kongo-Shinzan.

You collapsed.

We couldn't leave you like that,
so we brought you to the temple.

Are you kidding?
You should've just left me where I was!

You're a real soft touch, aren't you?

Uh, you got a light?

Hey, what are you--

That can wait, Fujimoto.

Our relic… Just how much do you
know about Kurikara?

Why do you want to take it?

Hell if I know. I just came here
on orders from my bosses.

But I think they're gonna use it
to kill a kid.

Kill… a child?

He said that without batting an eye!

If you can move,
I must ask you to leave at once!

Whatever the circumstances may be,
I cannot tend to a child killer!

Don't worry, I'll leave.
After I get the Koma Sword.

You haven't given up on that?

You don't have the slightest idea
where in Fudobu-ji it might be!

No sweat, I'll just bust into
all of your temples until I find it.

No, there's probably no time for that.
It'd be faster to just ask you.

So tell me. Where's the sword?

Th-This man is--

Come on, really?
You wanna fight me with that?

Stop it before you get hurt.

Hey! Wait!

Where are you--

No, that's--
Don't go in there!

Wha--

Wh-What the hell is this?

Stop this!

What do you think you're doing?

Shut up! End this farce right now!

You monster!
Do you know what you've done?

If we stop communing with the Buddha,
he will forsake us and withdraw his power!

Then answer me this!
Has all your praying helped these people?

You're a coward who plays the saint.

You're the kind of person I hate the most!

These people are way beyond prayer!

You have to pull the miasma's toxins
out of their bodies right now!

Y-You can help them?

Yeah! I can save them all. I think.

You there! Bring me radish, onion,
valerian, calamus, rock salt…

Oh, and some red chili peppers!

Also, some petroleum jelly
or beeswax or lard!

Um, right…

Will that save them?

Don't make me repeat myself!
As for you, heat up a bunch of water!

Also…

I could use that light.

If this…

If this really helps them…

Then what have we…

Torako…

Tatsuma, I'm--

T…

To…

Torako!

Tatsuma…

I-I honestly thought I was done for!

I… I'm really going to be able
to have the baby?

Sure you will!

Thank goodness. I'm so relieved!

Thank you, Fujimoto!

When you showed up to steal the sword,
I thought you were some sort of bandit!

Was I ever wrong about you!

Huh?

That was that. And this is this.
Cough up the sword.

I mean, I did save all those lives.

And even taught you the treatment.

I think I'm entitled to a little something
for my trouble, don't you?

Tatsuma?

Y-You get some rest, okay?

I thought you were a good person!

Man, you really are the kind of person
I hate the most.

Trust me, I ain't.

If you aren't gonna help,
I'll find it myself.

You'll never get anywhere
if you're afraid to get your hands dirty.

Father?

That's him.

Seize him!

What are you--

He's escaping! After him!

Don't let that bandit
leave this mountain alive!

Father, what are you doing? That man--

Tatsuma! Don't think
this fiasco will go unpunished!

A Knights of the True Cross exorcist?

You brought an emissary from
that false religion into our temple

and let him work their foul magic!

You're wrong!
Father, that man just saved many lives!

He saved them… He saved Torako!

That makes no difference!

Any outsider who learns of the Koma Sword
and the secrets of the Myodha,

must be killed!

I have a responsibility to protect Myodha!

Father,
what you're protecting is its rules.

I'm…

I'm not like you!

Tatsuma! Where are you going?

Tatsuma!

-He went that way!
-Don't let him get away!

Crap, these guys don't give up!

I tore open my wounds, damn it!

Fujimoto!

Tatsuma?

Take it.

The Koma Sword?

I'll show you the way out. Follow me.

Hey, hang on!

What gives? Are you sure about this?

It's all right. I've known all along.

When I was a child,
I once secretly drew that sword.

I wanted to see Karura.

But nothing came out.
Not Karura, not flames, nothing.

That sword is empty.
I've known all these years.

I'm through with praying
over an empty sword!

I finally found the will to fight!

Thanks to you!

I'm gonna kill a kid with this, you know.

No, I know you won't.

I can tell.

You're a hopeless soft touch,
you know that?

The trail leads this way!

Keep running in this direction.
This makes us even!

Nope.

This makes us friends.

Over there!

-Drat, he jumped!
-He's below! Head him off!

Here ends the tale of me and Fujimoto.

A few months later,
the Blue Night occurred,

and with his dying breath,
my father passed on the high priesthood

and Myodha's true secret.

That secret was indeed a terrible thing.

So this is where it was hidden!
Let's see what's down there.

It's a door!

I had no idea there was a chamber
like this hidden beneath Goma Hall.

Give the Right Eye to me.

B-But you said carrying both
would put your life at risk!

We're practically there.
And I'm more worried about you.

I'm beginning to regret

that my guesswork has caught up
my dearest pupil in something dreadful.

When I think about
the repercussions for you…

Are you having regrets?

No, sir.

I am the only one
who can keep everyone safe now!

You really are a fine young lady.

Now, let's get this open.

What is that?

This is the Impure King.

Ansei year 5 (1858).

Fukaku, your founder,

made a pact with the demon sword Kurikara,
inhabited by the fire demon Karura,

and battled the Impure King, to no avail.

He finally subdued the Impure King
by plucking out his eyes

and sealing them away.

At that time,
Karura departed from Kurikara.

That is the truth of the Myodha Sect.

This is what the Myodha Sect's
secrets within secrets have protected.

This is the Impure King?

Impossible! Are you saying
it's existed down here for 150 years?

But then, the Right and Left Eyes--

Correct. If the Right and Left Eyes

were to be returned
to the shriveled Impure King,

he would be restored to his former glory.

Mr. Todo, just what are you?

Oh, Ms. Hojo.

You are my dearest student,
and it hurts me to have to say this,

but I have no further use for you.

Well, well!

Master?

Mamushi!

Everything will be fine.

I'll get you back to your father
safe and sound, you hear?

This is a cancer that corrupts
all it comes in contact with!

It ends with me!
I won't let it infect another generation!

I will protect everyone!

Master!

Any who would try to thwart that goal

will answer to Tatsuma Suguro,
the 17th head priest of the Myodha Sect!

Father!

Surrounded by blue flames,

Father! Can you hear me?
Father! Father!

I learned all the secrets passed down
among the head priests of Myodha.

Don't die! Father!

I am called Karura.

I serve the high priests
of the Myo-O Dharani.

Are you descended
from its founder, Fukaku?

Give me proof of your blood.

I… I am Tatsuma Suguro!

I am Fukaku's descendant!

You are indeed of Fukaku's blood.

In that case, I shall henceforth
serve you, Tatsuma Suguro.

I don't believe it. The high priests
have employed Karura for generations?

In exchange for what?

What I desire are secrets.

My existence. And the purpose
I am made to serve you.

The truth of all that is sealed away
and kept secret.

That is your price?

To be more precise,

the keeping of secrets is what gives me
life, and I feed on lies and mistrust.

In exchange for those secrets, I lend you
the flames that quell your enemy.

My enemy?

The Impure King.

We failed to kill it,

so it has been slumbering
beneath this temple for 150 years.

Karura! The time has come
for you to lend me your power!

Master!

Such is our pact. Ask, and I obey.

Karura!

Or do I call you
the Vermillion bird or phoenix?

You have quite the
magnificent familiar there!

Fiend! I don't know what you're planning,

but the Impure King
cannot be controlled so easily!

Put down the Right and Left Eyes
and leave this place!

I'm afraid I can't do that.

This is the moment I've lived for
all these years!

Karura Flames, Fire-eating Sigil!

I can't believe his physical abilities!

As is often the case with humans
inhabited by a demon.

All right, then…

Karura Flames, Spark Sigil!

M-M-My regeneration can't keep up!

So this is Karura's power.

Mamushi!

Allow me to play my trump card, then.

No!

Mamushi! Hang in there!

Hold on tight to me!

The Impure King is awakening!

Goma Hall? Why would they come here?

What in the world?

Head Priest! And Mamushi?

Juzo?

Juzo! Watch out for the droplets!

What is that?

Juzo, your timing is perfect.

Some of Yaozo's quick thinking, eh?
Good, that helps.

I'll handle this, so take Mamushi back
to the field office and bring help!

Yes, sir!

What is that monster?

Mamushi knows.

She's gravely wounded from carrying the
Impure King's Right Eye inside her body.

Take her back to her father for me.

-What about you, Master?
-I will hold him here.

-Mamushi.
-Master…

You tell everyone everything.
I'm counting on you.

I understand.

Master!

Get moving!

Let's go, Mamushi. Climb on!

Master…

My secret has been revealed.

My pact to serve the head priests
of Myodha ends today.

But your separate pact
with me personally still stands.

Before the Impure King can reach maturity
and release his miasma,

I must try to pin him down here with the
Purifying Flame Seal Sigil!

The Purifying Flame Seal Sigil
demands a great deal of power.

I'll use
World-destroying Waves and Flames.

I thought
World-destroying Waves and Flames

was devised
to defeat the Impure King.

If you use it now, you will forever
lose the chance to defeat it.

There's no choice.

Let's begin!

World-destroying Waves and Flames!
Purifying Flame Seal Sigil!

Right, that should at least keep him
confined here for the time bei--

Whew, I'm beat.

I did warn you.

What, I ain't dead just yet.

And as long as there's life left in me,
there's always a way--

Oh, dear.

I do feel terrible
about what I did to Ms. Hojo.

Unfortunately, you're a man of mystery.

You rarely come out into the open,
making it impossible to locate you.

I thought long and hard about what
I would need to do to draw you out,

and I concluded that the only way
was to revive the Impure King.

I was certain you were using Karura
to keep the Impure King sealed away.

But then I was forced to while away

many a year
waiting for this day to arrive.

You were my objective, Tatsuma Suguro.

Or perhaps it would be
more accurate to say your familiar!

Tatsuma!

He's eating Karura?

What is this man?

Its power is even greater than I imagined!

He actually forced Karura
to inhabit his body!

A human, forcing his will on a demon?

No human could possibly do that!

Oh, my, I feel like
I'm quite a bit younger.

Perhaps this is an added bonus
from gaining Karura's power.

It's flapping around like mad
inside me!

It would seem I'm not quite
up to fully controlling it just yet.

But I'll get used to it soon enough.

This brings me one step closer
to my ultimate goal.

Thank you, Tatsuma Suguro.

W-Wait…

Please.

I beg you, Okumura.

I want you to use the Koma Sword
to defeat the Impure King.

I'm all too aware that
it's an unreasonable

and brazen request to make of you.

But if…

"If you have even the tiniest sliver of
charity in your heart, as your father did,

I would like to appeal to it.

Thank you for reading this far."
Signed, Tatsuma Suguro.

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 7: Like a Fire Burning Bright

Rin, give back the sword.

His flames have been effective
against demons before.

It's worth a try.

Defeat the Impure King!

By a majority vote
of the Grigori's Court of Inquiry,

Rin Okumura has been
sentenced to death.

Old Man, why'd you save me?
