Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga (2017–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Like a Fire Burning Bright - full transcript

The Impure King has been revived. In his letter, Tatsuma asks Rin to use the Kouma sword to fight, but will that even be possible? And to make matters worse, Mephisto suddenly appears with the news that Rin has been sentenced to death.

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
this is 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.

Just like I figured,
that letter was a real eye-opener.

But with all
due respect to Suguro's father,

it's just conjecture that your flames
would affect the Impure King.

We can't allow you to use the Koma Sword
based on something so shaky.

Rin. This letter was written to you.

What do you want to do?

I…

Shura.
What's the point of asking him that?

I… I want to help.

Rin! Do you have any idea
how big of a mess you're in?

The Old Man saved me, too.

So if he says there's a chance I can help,
I want to fight!

But in the end,
I know it's just a request.

-Then your request is den--
-Okay, fine.

"Here it descends,
and to him it shall return."

Shura, what are you…?

What am I doing?

Even if he wants to fight, I can't clear
him without knowing the situation, right?

I'm gonna have him draw it here.

Shura!

Rin flared up and lost control
just moments ago!

It would be crazy
to give him the Koma Sword now!

If something happens,
he'll be executed for sure!

Now look here.

The Vatican was alerted the instant
I cast that imprisonment spell!

He's already in a situation where they can
execute him at any time, for any reason!

It's way too late to chicken out now!
And you know what?

If the Impure King still exists
and has come back to life,

he poses a much bigger threat
than Rin right now.

Plus,
I know you've seen it plenty of times!

His flames have been effective
against demons before.

It's worth a try.

Rin. Try to draw it.

Huh?

What's wrong?

What are you doing, Rin?

Well…

I don't get it!

I can't draw it!

What's going on?

I don't know!

The damn thing won't budge
for some reason!

Then I'll draw it for you. Give it here.

I-I can do it myself!

It must be snagged somewhere!
Yeah, that's gotta be it!

Rin?

Oh, I get it.

Rin, you're scared, aren't you?

Hey, I can't say I blame you.

I mean, just a while ago,

you were psyched over finally
being able to control your flames,

but now you feel like you're suddenly
back to square one, don't you?

"The next time I draw this sword,
what will happen to me?"

"I might lose control again."

"I might actually hurt someone this time."

-I don't--
-You know I'm right.

Your confidence is totally shot.

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

H-Hey, just wait a minute!

Episode 7: Like a Fire Burning Bright

Would that keep me
from drawing the sword?

Rin, give back the sword.

Goodness gracious.

Oof.

Guten Abend, you three.

Lord Pheles?

Mephisto? What do you want?

"What do I want?" Such a rude tone.

My first appearance in ages,
and it's in a jail? How disappointing!

And to think that I came all this way
to clean up your mess.

Eins, zwei, drei!

Das stärkste Gefängnis.

The most impenetrable prison.

I got a call from Vatican HQ.

As a result of
the imprisonment spell being cast,

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

Rin Okumura has been sentenced to death.

He-- W-Wait!

They sure didn't waste any time.
Is this for real?

I'm not so bored
that I'd come all this way simply to lie.

Yukio. You okay?

But putting down the Impure King
is our top priority at the moment.

I do apologize.
Would you be a dear and hold this?

Wait, how did you know that?
If you're that in the loop, help out!

Who, me?

I couldn't possibly!
I can't abide uncleanliness.

Allergies, you see.

My nose is already running!

When the Impure King is revived,
it will grow rapidly,

and when it reaches maturity,
Kyoto will become a city of death.

I'm almost back to the field office
with Mamushi!

Have as many people as possible
waiting for us at the entrance!

Can you see it from there?

Can you see it, Uwabami?

That's… the Impure King?

I suspect it will take a lot of manpower
to defeat the Impure King.

It's nothing fancy, but allow me
to give you some equipment as a present.

I do hope that they'll prove…
helpful to you in some way.

And with that,
I shall pray for your success!

Hey, wait!

That bastard.

In any event,
let's focus on doing what we can.

You…

I expect that we'll also be sent out
against the Impure King.

The field office has issued
an emergency muster call!

All able-bodied personnel,
go there immediately!

Yes, sir!

It's really frantic out there
for some reason.

Do you think something's happened?

Was Mamushi really captured?

Yeah. I heard Juzo brought her back.

Mamushi?

Bon!

Juzo's back!

Mamushi! Juzo!

Thank you… for gathering everyone here.

Everyone… I am the traitor.

But even so, I want you to listen…
to what I have to say!

Earlier tonight, Saburota Todo and I

used the Right and Left Eyes we stole…

…to revive the Impure King!

The Impure King?

But wasn't the Impure King defeated
in the Edo Period?

It was kept sealed beneath Kongo-Shinzan
in a state of suspended animation.

Quiet down!

As we speak, head priest of Myodha,
Tatsuma Suguro,

is fighting him on his own!

I beg you,
send help to defeat the Impure King!

H-How can you ask that?

You resurrected him yourself!

-For one thing, what is the Impure King?
-Defeat him how?

This isn't the time to be arguing
amongst ourselves!

All exorcist teams,

as well as security teams 1 and 2
and Deep Keep team 1,

will deploy to subdue the Impure King!

The Impure King is kin to the King of Rot.

All personnel,
get vaccinated to counter the miasma!

-Prepare to administer vaccines!
-Yes sir!

Mamushi!

M-Master Ryuji!

Your right eye!

I'm sorry.

Save him. Please save the Master!

Bon. I'll take her to the infirmary.

Juzo, what about you?

I'll meet up with team 1 afterwards.

You and the other cram school students
go straight to the inn.

Renzo! Koneko! Keep Bon safe!

If anything happens to him,
you're dead meat!

Sure thing. We've got it covered.

Forget about me.

Hurry and help the Master.

Dummy.

You hurt a girl, Todo!

Bon, it's out of our hands.

You heard what Juzo said.
We need to go back to the inn.

Oh, there you are! Come here for a sec!

Ms. Kirigakure!

Because of his little flare-up earlier,
Rin's been sentenced to death.

It's the Vatican's decision.
It can't be overturned.

And so…

Suguro. I entrust this to you.

Kurikara!

And this is a letter
your father wrote to Rin.

It says that we need Rin's power
to defeat the Impure King.

Rin was on board with it.

So, will you guys bust him out?

The only way for Rin to avoid execution
is to do something big and heroic.

Take these camo ponchos.

They ought to keep you hidden.

They should let you get into
the cell block without being noticed.

Commander Kirigakure! Hurry!

Coming!

You heard him.
The Order basically has me on a leash.

I can't defy them openly.

I'm counting on you.
I'll let you decide how to handle it.

We have to help Rin, you guys!

Look, I want to help him
as much as the next guy,

but doing that means
getting on the Vatican's bad side.

B-But if we don't help
and never see Rin again,

I know we'll all regret it!

The cell block is this way, right?

Bon!

Suguro, thank you!

Koneko? You're kidding, right?

Miwa!

I have to keep Bon safe.

Besides, I know I'll regret it if I don't.

What the heck, man?
You're that scared of Juzo?

-You too, Izumo?
-Ms. Kamiki!

What's gotten into you guys?

-You're gonna die!
-Outta my way, Renzo!

You babies go night-night back to the inn!

Me, I'm gonna go die valiantly
as a man of the Myodha!

I don't get it.

All this Myodha and regret stuff…
I honestly don't get it.

Man, what a hassle!

Ow!

Did you say something?

No, I thought it was you.

I didn't say anything. It was you!

Quit messing with me!

That was nerve-racking!

You stepped on my foot, Koneko!

Cut me some slack, Shima.

These ponchos are amazing,

but not being able to see each other
is a big drawback.

It should be just ahead.

Is that the door?

I am Das stärkste Gefängnis,
the most impenetrable prison!

I cannot be unlocked from inside,
yet I can be easily opened from outside!

Now, here's a question for you!

-What's with the shtick?
-A demon?

What makes me impenetrable?

Fight me and see for yourselves!

I guess we've got no choice.

The answer is

that if anyone approaches me
with hostile intent,

I can freeze them in their tracks!

That is where I get my name!

Oh, no.

Wait. Why didn't anything happen to me?

Because you pose no threat!

You're weak and carry no weapons!

I guess without Nee,
I really am powerless.

But…

If Rin dies…

I won't let that happen!

Your door will open
from the outside, right?

It will!
Though you won't be able to get out.

I have to help Rin to save everyone!

Where is this place?

No way am I gonna die
in a place like this!

I can't die.

Is that really true?

Will you quietly allow yourself
to be killed by the Order?

Oh, wait, there's also the option
of taking your own life.

Or better yet, die!

I was saved for a reason,
so I don't want that to go to waste.

But, maybe…

"The next time I draw this sword,
what will happen?"

"I might actually hurt someone this time."

…I really should die?

Do I die without being of use?

I didn't even make up with everybody.

Why was my life even spared?

Old Man, why'd you save me?

Tell me!

Rin!

Shiemi?

Rin!

I'm here to rescue you!

Ms. Kirigakure told us everything!

We'll all help you fight!

So, let's get out of here!

Stay away.

What's the matter?

I don't have the confidence
to control my flames.

All this time,
I thought I could get by on grit alone.

But that's
clearly not gonna cut it anymore.

So maybe I…

Maybe I should just die.

Wh…

What are you saying?

Don't ever say that again!

You wouldn't understand.

And you don't need to.

Stop that! Don't laugh it off
and push me away!

I… I'm trying to support you!

Just go away! I'm a monster!

Huh? They're not hot.

They're warm!

I'm… so stupid.

I was so focused on my own problems
that I never really looked at Rin.

Some friend I am!

Rin…

I'm sorry.

D-Don't! You'll--

It's not safe!

I'm perfectly safe.

See? Not a single burn on me!

You did that!

So everything will be fine!

A-Aren't you afraid of me?

I'm not afraid.

R-Really?

Okumura!

You guys all came to rescue me?

I-I wouldn't like it if you died.

If I find out you're not a threat,
I'd like to make up with you.

Konekomaru…

Let's get one thing straight.

I only came
because Ms. Kirigakure said to.

Me? I didn't want to come,
so you should thank me!

Y-You guys…

Anyway, thanks!

Suguro… sir?

My head wasn't on straight
when we got into it over my dad.

You were right.
At least, as far as my dad goes.

If you're gonna fight,
you'll need this. Take it.

I-I'm sorry for punching you.

I'll show you the way to Kongo-Shinzan.

Then do whatever the hell you want.
I don't care. I'll be fighting my own way.

Suguro!

Believe in me!

I can't help that I'm Satan's son,
but I'll definitely master my flames.

So please… trust me!

I don't give a crap about that!

The reason I'm pissed at you

is because you tried to carry that burden
all by yourself!

Because you never said anything to us!

Why should I trust a guy like that?

Am I the only one who thought
we were on the same side?

W-Wait, I never meant it like that!

Hang on, that's your reason?
That's why you were mad?

That's a new one. Seriously.

Shima…

Suguro…

Okay, I get it now.

In that case, I'll--

Goodness gracious. The stage is set
and the cast assembled at last.

And now, I'm going to enjoy the spectacle
of this battle to the fullest.

Listen up.

We're headed to Kongo-Shinzan
in Raku-Hoku…

…to defeat the Impure King!

I have to prove myself
with what I do from now on!

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 8: From Father to Son

I chose this path of my own free will!

My father and brother
have nothing to do with it!
