EPISODE 9: CONGRATULATIONS

Mom, I'm home!

Welcome back, Ryuji.

Very good, Ryuji.

About what?

It's been a while, Ma'am.

Welcome, everyone.

I'll show you your rooms, so follow me.

Are the rooms full?

Yes, we have two of our relative families here.

Renzo! Perfect timing. Help us out here!

Kinzo! You're putting too much strength!

- You'll break the mallet! - I'd rather not...

What did you do to Uncle Renzo, Ten?

Sis and Rokusuke, too. Long time no see.

Kensuke, you've grown.

Who are these people?

My oldest sister, her husband, my nephew and my niece.

So you're an uncle?

Don't say that.

Ko... Ko... Koneko!

Yumi, you haven't changed.

- Why didn't you call me last summer? - Who's she?

- Why didn't you call me last summer? - My youngest sister.

She's seriously aiming for Koneko.

Konekomaru's popular, huh?

I'm back.

Gozo?

He's huge!

Gozo!

Gozo? Gozo!

Out of my way!

Why me?!

That was mean!

Who's he?

My second older brother. He's an Exorcist at an overseas branch.

Shima is a huge family.

It's only been ten minutes, and I want to leave.

Isn't this fine? It's lively.

I want to pound mochi.

Mr. Juzo, thank you very much for the marriage invitation.

Four-eyes, I hope you can help us out again.

Is there anything we can do now?

Can you help us make marumochi?

Yes.

But I want to pound the mochi.

Shaping the mochi is fun too, you know?

Suguro's dad!

Dad, I'm home.

Welcome home.

Now let's do it!

Put the rice powder on your hands,

squeeze the mochi,

then take it off.

It's warm and soft.

I've never shaped fresh mochi before.

Mr. Okumura, you're one-handed! Don't push yourself!

I'm sorry that I can't be more help.

Don't screw with me!

You're the person who always rushes first, so why?!

Why are you so hesitant about this?!

Who's the scaredy cat now?!

What? What are you so angry about?

What's the point of knowing?

Why do you want to know so much?

Why you say?

That's...

Hey.

Sorry.

I forgot.

We can never change the way we think.

We're both wrong and both right.

We're brothers, yet we're not really on the same page.

I forgot about that.

Sorry for screaming at you.

Good night, Brother.

Just forget about this.

He's been acting that way ever since.

He's using the business smile as usual.

Something's strange.

I feel something's different.

BLUE EXORCIST -BEYOND THE SNOW SAGA-

TORAYA Yes, that's the USB.

I made digital copies of the documents and sorted them inside it.

You should get out of bed and eat a proper meal sometimes.

RYUJI SUGURO Yes, Mom.

I'll review the documents too.

Got it, Ryuji. Happy New Year.

Happy New Year, too.

Okay, it's time for me to move.

Hello, this is Lightning the Arc Knight.

Tell me Doctor Dragulescu's schedule for New Year's break.

Are you working?

Good work.

No, I'm done now.

I'm going to relax now.

So cold.

It's only 30th, yet it's so lively here. They'll go crazy in the New Year.

I've marked you with a Sylph Bell.

Damn it! When did he do that?

I can't go back like this.

Can you help me, Yamantaka?

I can burn away the spirit, but they'll retaliate.

Because its user is stronger than you.

Well, figures.

Since you summoned me, let me cut loose.

Don't be ridiculous.

You have no right to refuse me.

I have been protecting the inexperienced you.

If you want power, you should obey me.

This is bad.

Shima.

You can handle Yamantaka now, I see.

Koneko.

I've been wondering about that. When did you learn to control it?

Well, recently. But I still can't do it very well.

I haven't been training lately, so I lack stamina.

You really are.

You passed out during the first training.

So you avoided it ever since.

Well, you know...

I inherited this power because I just happened to be born when Takezo died.

Is that the rule of inheritance in the Shima family?

That's right. And I don't want to be tied by that.

But, thanks to Yamantaka, my body is stronger now.

It led to the Illuminati employing me.

Whether I like it or not, I'm gonna make it mine.

I've always envied you, Koneko. Since I was little.

If I were you, I'd abandon this place and just go live on my own.

How can you say that? You're incredibly blessed.

You're a very indulgent man, aren't you?

It's me who has always envied you.

You have a big family. You're talented.

If I were you...

I'll inherit Daiitoku Myo-o from the Shima family.

As the master of Yamantaka,

I'll become strong and protect everyone in Myo Dharani.

We were born the other way around.

I guess so.

We're going to have a Bacchanal's party for Juzo!

Huh?! What is it suddenly?

It's a bachelor party.

Juzo!

On the groom's last night, we have to spar!

What the heck is that?

You're beaten too easily.

Can't you fight without Yamantaka, can you?

Renzo needs to work out.

What's going on?

Just another day in the Shima household.

Renzo, you need to train more diligently.

Unless you want to die, that is.

Koneko, still envy me?

Yes.

Juzo, I'm next.

As expected, you're not a fluke.

You're special.

At which part?

Well, if something happens to you,

I'll pick up your bones on our way back.

Don't just assume that I'm going to die.

NEW YEAR

GRILLED SPARROW Don't get separated!

SWEET CHESTNUTS I'll call you one by one!

- Bon! - Yeah.

- Renzo! - Yeah.

- Neko! - Yes.

- Yumi! - Yes!

- Four-eyes! - Yes.

And, Kumo?

My name is Izumo, but whatever.

- Shiromi! - Her name is Shiemi.

Where's Shiromi?

Huh?

That Satan's boy is gone too!

This is bad! Juzo's going to be mad at me!

Rin, everyone's gone.

We got separated.

Huh?

Crap, I forgot my phone.

I should buy a phone, too.

Well, let's line up first.

You're right.

It's the New Year, huh?

It sure is.

A lot happened in one year.

Yeah, but not even a whole year has passed though.

When we came to Kyoto last summer, I thought everyone hated me.

We didn't.

I know that.

I get why you and Suguro got mad at me for being reserved now.

But now, you didn't tell me anything.

Sorry.

I made you feel the way we did before.

Yukio, too.

Rin.

Has something happened?

I...

I don't understand Yukio anymore.

What should I do for him?

I don't know what he's thinking.

Even though he's my little brother.

FRIED CHICKEN SHOP There they are!

FRIED CHICKEN SHOP Satan and Shiromi!

Why'd you wander off on your own? I'm the one who got yelled at, you know!

He's so loud.

My name's not Satan!

And her name is not Shiromi!

Huh? What are you then?

A yolk?

What?!

Now it's done.

Big Sis Mamushi looks so pretty.

You're really beautiful.

Mamushi.

She's really pretty.

- I bet the grandchildren will be the same. - This is really great.

This family feeling.

Don't you think so, Yukio?

I guess.

Daisai Gedatsufuku Musou

Fukudenne Hibumyougyou Koudoshoshujou...

The time has finally come.

It's been a long time. Can I still perform a wedding?

Just do your best today.

You're not as hard as you used to be.

Is that so?

Maybe because of my hairstyle?

Not because of that, but I am sure of it.

Is that so?

I heard you're a big-shot Exorcist's disciple now.

His name is Lightning, is that right?

You knew?

Shima and the others mentioned it.

At first, there was quite a commotion.

Bon's a disciple?

To who? Not just anyone can be his master!

Huh? Lightning?

He's amazing!

As expected of Bon!

They calmed down after hearing who your master was.

Those guys...

I assume he's a good master, right?

I guess so.

Huh?

Dad.

You knew Shiro Fujimoto, right?

Why do you ask?

My bad.

It's nothing.

Suguro.

Your mother is calling for you.

Sorry, we were just talking.

Bon, I'll take over here.

Gozo.

Thank you, Gozo.

You must be busy.

Yes, after the ceremony, I will return to work.

So, can we talk about that matter?

Have you found out anything?

No, we're researching at the underground library of the India branch,

but we have yet to find a way to summon a demon that has possessed someone else.

I see.

Then we'll have to exorcise Karura from Todo directly and summon it again.

However according to the report that Renzo gave to the Order's higher-ups,

Saburota Todo, who appeared in Aomori, had Karura bonded closely with him now.

What?

When that is the case, exorcism could damage Karura as well.

We must hurry.

Good work today.

Where is everyone else?

I don't know.

Mom probably used them for doing chores.

She said I could go ahead and take a seat.

Even my mom would feel reserved towards you.

After all, you're our teacher.

Suguro.

Yes?

Is there something you want to know about our father?

A few weeks ago, you visited the monastery where we grew up, right?

What is Lightning investigating?

ROMANIA BRANCH OFFICE OF THE TRUE CROSS ORDER K.R.C. LABORATORY

Happy New Year, Doctor Dragulescu.

I waited for you to show up alone.

Working in the New Year?

Me, too.

Lightning?

What is the meaning of this?

How shameless of you.

You're connected to the Illuminati, right?

Have you gone mad?

Cut the act, would you?

I don't know where you got the information.

If you think like that because I was director of Section 13,

then you're mistaken!

I did a Morinath Contract!

How could I cooperate with the Illuminati?

That's the mystery.

As long as I can solve it, it'll be perfect.

Since you fit my idea of a traitor.

Not many people can kill many people and stay in the same work for over a decade.

You accuse me of those vague reasons?

You think it doesn't torture me?

Talk is cheap, you know.

Still, it's true that I'll need proof to convince others.

What—

Teyonebuse.

And so on.

You know my other name, right?

Stop!

It's the Torturer.

Mortem!

As expected.

I've got what I came for, so I'm leaving.

You won't get away with this!

I'm going to report you!

They'll lock you up, Lightning!

You're dangerous!

Then you better hurry.

Because I plan to prosecute you.

TORAYA

An old monk named Misumi died.

Soon after Lightning's visit.

Surely...

It has nothing to do with you, right?

I can't tell you anything.

I'm sorry.

No.

I'm sorry for pressing you.

Of course it is,

since you can't simply spill the contents of a top-secret investigation.

And now a toast to celebrate!

Cheers!

How many times do I have to make this toast?

Cheers!

- Kiss! Kiss! - Not in front of everyone!

It hurts!

Don't embarrass me like that! That's not for the public!

Tomorrow?!

I know it's so sudden, but I want it done by tomorrow morning.

I emailed a rough draft.

It's in English, but I believe you'll manage.

Wait!

What the heck?

What is he up to now?

Sorry, but please tell me.

Mr. Okumura?

What do you know about how my brother and I were born?

Did he always have this look?

Tell me what you know.

Are you really going to shoot me?

What's gotten into me?

Sorry.

Maybe I drank alcohol by mistake.

Forget about this.

Hold on! Has something happened?

I'm really sorry.

Don't apologize! Tell me what's going on!

I'm your superior.

Let go of me.

Can you stop this already?

I told you to get advice, not to threaten.

Advice?

From whom?

Suguro? You? Or my brother?

Getting advice won't solve anything.

Because everyone is different.

Yes?

Yukio, return immediately! We're shorthanded!

The heck?! Cyclops!

Turn on the TV!

What's going on?

- Seriously?! - They better evacuate fast!

Yuki!

What's headquarters doing?

Has a high-level demon ever appeared in the city like that?

Not that I can remember.
