Blue Exorcist Synopsis

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 has consequently remained locked away 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 turns upside down when he discovers that he is the son of Satan and that his father is looking for him to return so that they can finally conquer Assiah together.
