Hello everyone! This time, I would like to introduce in detail the synopsis, cast, staff, and broadcast information for "Blue Exorcist: The Kyoto Saga" and "The Midnight Saga".
The "Blue Exorcist" series is based on the hugely popular comic by Kazue Kato and has captivated many fans to date. The eagerly awaited new series, "The Kyoto Saga," is set to air from October 2024. Furthermore, "The Midnight Saga" is scheduled to air from January 2025, making the consecutive two-cour broadcast an exciting event.
Synopsis
"Blue Exorcist" is set in a world where two dimensions exist: the material world (Assiah) and the void realm (Gehenna), where demons reside. Normally, these dimensions do not interfere with each other, but demons can possess material objects and interfere with the material world. The "Exorcists" are the ones who exorcise these demons. This grand tale depicts the battle of Rin Okumura and his companions as they confront their destiny as exorcists.
In "The Kyoto Saga," episodes where Shura Kirigakure confronts her destiny and the darkness of the True Cross Order comes to light are depicted. In "The Midnight Saga," the truth behind the pivotal event "The Blue Night" will be revealed, and the secret of the birth of Rin and his twin brother, Yukio Okumura, is expected to be unveiled.
