Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga (2017–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - Through Thick and Thin - full transcript
Your father always gave your brother
special treatment.
But what about you?
I bet it was nothing but strict discipline
since childhood
to make you into an Exorcist.
You're sure you aren't a useful tool
he raised specifically
to protect your brother?
You're wrong!
I chose this path of my own free will!
My father and brother
have nothing to do with it!
You're firing wildly now.
At least your heart is being honest.
It's only natural.
You must've asked yourself again and again
why you're forced to do this
for your brother.
Even though that brother has no inkling
of the hardships you've endured.
You've thought, "This isn't fair!"
or, "I can't take this injustice anymore!"
Oh, man! We're so high up!
W-We're gonna die!
The truth is, you absolutely despise
your brother, don't you?
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 9: Through Thick and Thin
I'm not going to play your game.
Oh? Is this how you keep your cool?
This is how you've always avoided
any self-reflection, isn't it?
I…
Take me home!
When we were little…
It's a puppy!
Hey, what are you two doing?
Why can't we keep him?
Bye!
Take care!
…I looked up to Rin.
But…
Stop that!
It's Rin!
Are you okay?
I don't need your help!
-What's with you?
-Don't worry about me!
I was just trying to help!
I looked up to him,
but at the same time…
Want the soy sauce?
the truth is, I was…
Yukio, thanks.
Oh no, Rin put that…
always…
always…
always…
so frustrated!
Oh, my. What's the matter?
Are you worn out already?
When did he--?
Corycia. Melaina.
Cleodora. Cleochareia.
Bateia. Drosera. Solaia. Periboea.
I see.
You made me think you were missing,
but you were actually using
those magic bullets
to create naiad summoning circles.
You truly are gifted.
At least be honest with yourself.
I love my brother, and I hate him.
But more than that, I hated
the weak, sniveling boy I used to be.
The person I really hate is myself!
Naiad Water Prison!
They attack whenever I touch down!
It might look like a building, but
this thing's a mountain demon, all right!
There's nowhere to set the Earth-touching
mudra, the barrier's center.
And even if there was,
I wouldn't be able to focus on chanting!
Kuro! Is there anywhere we can land
near the sporangium?
I'll look!
That sporangium is huge.
I only heard the barrier spell once.
To be honest, I'm not totally sure
I have it memorized.
And even if I do manage to cast it,
how are we gonna beat something that big?
It looks like a huge meat bun!
I missed dinner, so I'm starving!
Hey! How can you be so calm?
I gotta tell you, I'm freaking out!
Hey, that's…
Winner gets front!
One, two, shoot!
…because you lost fair and square!
That's not what I'm talking about,
dumbass!
And if you can't draw that sword,
you're just a strong guy with a stick!
Aren't you the least bit scared?
Rin! There's a rocky spot below!
Hold on tight!
This outcropping is the only place
the mountain demon hasn't taken!
Okay! We'll make our stand here!
You aren't wallowing
in despair again, are you?
I'm fine for now.
More to the point,
aren't you the one who's freaking out?
I mean, I bet everybody else
is doing everything they can right now.
So let's do what we can, too!
You just focus on making that barrier,
Princess Suguro!
Wh-Who are you calling princess?
I'll beat you to a pulp!
You were practically in tears.
I sure don't wanna play knight
to an unladylike princess like you!
Dammit! I was gonna do that anyway!
Okay! Then I'll leave you to it!
We're gonna win, Suguro!
Charge, Kuro, my noble steed!
I'm not a horse!
I know this guy isn't an idiot.
Deep down, I know that!
But this bozo and my dad are always
pulling this "tough lone wolf" crap.
And that…
pisses me off!
Ryuji Suguro.
I acknowledge your barrier incantation.
What's that?
A fire-attribute barrier? But who cast it?
What a truly lovely fireworks display.
Whoa, Suguro! You're awesome, dude!
That was cool, Suguro!
At least the barrier's up.
I haven't done this before.
Summoning demons is surprisingly draining.
Most impressive!
I'm amazed you were able to summon
so many naiads without a Tamer Meister!
However, you still need some practice.
Is this your answer, then?
You're more interesting
than I had expected. What a pity.
I'm going to have to kill you now.
I wonder, how long will it take
to reduce one human to ash?
I must be thorough and time this.
Rin!
Yukio?
Okumura! Eyes front!
Get off!
Oh, man. This doesn't look good!
That thing might burst any second!
That explains why these little guys
are moving faster!
No matter how many we beat,
more keep coming!
Ryuji.
Don't break the Earth-touching mudra.
If the mudra is broken,
the barrier breaks with it.
I know that, don't nag me!
I'll die before I let this break!
-Lighten up, Princess!
-Cut that out, dammit!
If you keep freaking out,
you're gonna pass out!
It looks like Bon managed
to get the barrier up!
We need to hurry
before the sporangium bursts!
Hurry? But how?
The path is totally blocked by spore goo.
Crap!
Renzo. This k'rik is--
Koneko?
Shima! Up here!
Thanks for the save!
Rot kin are vulnerable to fire.
We can use this to keep it back
as we advance, and…
Koneko.
It's hopeless.
Think about it rationally.
It's nothing but a temporary measure.
Let's run, okay?
Trying to get through by ourselves
is basically suicide.
Bon and the others will understand!
Nobody will blame us.
Right?
Everyone… It's not just
our friends from cram school,
our family is out there fighting!
How can you even think about running away?
I'm not running.
If I ran now, I couldn't look anyone
from Myodha in the eye ever again.
Not you, too, Koneko.
Everybody's all "obligations" this
and "responsibility" that…
And "blood" and "Myodha"…
I'm sick of hearing it.
That's not worth
throwing your life away to protect!
How can you say that at a time like this?
None of that matters when you're dead!
Sorry, but…
Sh-Shima?
I'm not that noble a guy.
Koneko, if you're not gonna run,
I'll go by myself.
You heartless coward!
What a pain! Koneko and Bon
and my dad and my brothers!
Renzo.
Our eldest brother, Takezo,
died protecting you and Bon.
He gave his life to save yours,
so you mustn't live a shameful life.
Like I care.
When I'm unsure about something,
I ask myself, "What would Takezo do?"
Takezo's the pride of the Shima family!
Who is this Takezo guy to me?
This k'rik is mine.
Now, as a man of the Shima family,
I entrust it to you.
As a representative of the Shimas,
protect Bon and Konekomaru!
All that is too much for me.
I wish Myodha and blood and obligations
would all go away! Just disappear!
My life would be so much easier
if I could separate myself from that.
My k'rik's on fire!
Oh, right! Master Yaozo
must have summoned Ucchusma!
I'll chant a mantra to strengthen
the flame, so you fight them off, Shima!
Seriously? I made myself come back
and get put out front?
Shima, I'm sorry for calling you
a heartless coward!
Shut up! Just shut up!
That sound… I think the sporangium
is going to burst!
We have to hurry.
Uke! Mike!
Honestly.
Is this any way to treat fox spirits?
Come forth, kin of Ukemochi!
Come forth, kin of Miketsu!
Heave ho!
They're so cute!
I'll have these little ones carry Master!
They sure are strong
for such little things!
At the training camp,
did you have them carry the Peg Lantern?
Look. I can't concentrate,
so would you please stop talking?
I-I'm sorry!
Actually, why am I doing this?
Back then, why did I decide to cooperate?
I don't even understand myself!
I've been all messed up
ever since I met these people.
But I gave my word, so that's that.
It just means we have to
make it out of this alive.
Ms. Kamiki, let's do our best!
I'll do anything you need,
so just let me know!
This girl in particular is annoying.
You don't need to go
out of your way to be helpful!
You're weak!
Just be quiet and let me protect you!
Ms. Kamiki!
Oh, no!
D-Don't worry about me! Uke! Mike!
Take the Master away from here!
Oh, dear.
This is what we get
for serving a half-trained master.
Dammit!
What am I doing? I can't die here!
You start running, too!
No way!
I can't abandon you!
What are you saying?
You'll just get in my way,
so start running, idiot!
Uke! Mike!
Master!
I have to do something.
Nee…
Please! Come out!
If you don't come out now,
what's the point of having you?
I don't want to go on being weak!
Come out!
I can't bear the thought
of not being able to save Ms. Kamiki!
I want to stay with everyone!
Come now!
N… Nee!
Will you help me?
First, I want to save Ms. Kamiki!
No matter how much the spores rot,
let's sprout twice as many new plants!
Nee!
Th-That's amazing, Nee! You're so strong!
She's making her Greenman grow huge.
Hang in there, Ms. Kamiki!
I'll definitely save you!
Let's go, Nee!
Not yet!
O-Okumura!
Kuro!
There's no end to this stuff!
Okumura, behind you!
Got it!
Crap.
It's about to…
No…
I'm going to die.
S… Stop!
What's this?
Everything's gone blue.
What's going on?
What's happening to my eyes?
Your eyes…
What's happened to them?
For a second, my instincts took over
and I leapt back.
I always thought
you were a fascinating specimen,
but perhaps I underestimated you.
Wh… What are you…?
Those eyes don't belong to you.
Oh, it's you.
Quite tenacious, aren't you?
I'm surprised you knew to find me here…
Mr. Shima.
When you throw around that much flame,
it's obvious to anyone!
You sneaky old weasel!
Juzo…
You ruined everything
that was precious to me!
There won't even be ashes left when
I'm done with you, so say your prayers!
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
