Blue Exorcist returns in October with a double season

On the official site for the anime adaptation of the manga “ Blue Exorcist ( Ao no Exorcist )”, a new promotional video was revealed for “ Blue Exorcist: Beyond the Snow Saga ”, the fourth season of the project. The video confirms that the premiere is scheduled for next October 5 , and shows a fragment of the closing theme titled “Tsurara” and performed by Yobahi.

It should be remembered that a fifth season titled “Blue Exorcist: The Blue Night Saga” will premiere right after, in Winter-2025 (January-March) . Officially it is being called “second part of the fourth season”, but the name change opens up the possibility that they will then start calling it “fifth season” from Japan, as has happened before.

For his part, Kazue Kato began publishing the manga in Shueisha 's Jump SQ magazine in April 2009. The work inspired an anime adaptation of twenty-five episodes produced by A-1 Pictures studios under the direction of Tensai Okamura and scripts written by Ryouta Yamaguchi , released in April-2011. A second season titled “ Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga ” premiered in January 2017, followed by “ Blue Exorcist: Shimane Illuminati Saga ” in January 2024.

Synopsis of Blue Exorcist

Humans and demons are two sides of the same coin, just as Assiah and Gehenna are their respective worlds. The only way to travel between the two worlds is through possession. However, Satan, the ruler of Gehenna, has been unable to find a worthy vessel to possess and consequently remains locked in his world. In a desperate move to conquer Assiah, he sends his son, with the purpose that in the future he will become a worthy vessel capable of becoming the king of the demons.

The story follows Rin Okumura, who seems to be an ordinary boy, until one day he is ambushed by demons. His world is turned upside down when he discovers that he is the son of Satan and that his father is looking for him to return so they can finally conquer Assiah together.
