The first episode Kicked off as our protagonist, Rin Okumura, decided to help his classmate, Makoto Godaiin. Makoto began seeing demons right after the summer vacation ended. The next day, Rin received a letter from the True Cross Academy’s Chairman, Mephisto Pheles. This letter mentioned that his execution had been put on hold.
Right then, Rin and his friends heard a shriek in the hallway and discovered that a low-level demon attacked Makoto. Rin Okumura then used his demonic powers to scare off the monster. Later, he asked the others if they had any solution for Makoto’s demon sighting problem.
Seeing that none of them could help regarding this matter, he decided to ask Mephisto about the same. However, a shocking revelation awaited him at the chairman’s place. The truth that Mephisto’s actual name was Samael, the King of Time, and that he was one of the Demon Royalty known as Baal was brought to light.
Upon the revelation, Mephisto/Samael quickly made clear the difference between their power. He then assured Rin that he would help him with Makoto’s problem, but he would have to complete an assignment in exchange. Back to the Academy, Mephisto assigned Rin and his friends a task involving a demon’s exorcism.
Konekomaru played a major role by pinpointing the demon’s weakness and enabling the others to take it down quickly. On the other side, in Yemen, Arthur and Lewin Light, who was referred to as Lightning, investigated a case related to the return of the Impure Princess.
Arthur wielded his blade to obliterate the woman who had consumed the Impure Princess’ heart. The episode ended with Rin giving Makoto an eye drop he got from Mephisto as his reward. He assured the boy that applying those eye drops would let him stop seeing the demons.

5. About Blue Exorcist
Blue Exorcist is a Japanese dark fantasy manga series written and illustrated by Kazue Katō.
In the Blue Exorcist Universe, there are two different realms called Assiah and Gehenna. Assiah is where ordinary humans live, and Gehenna is the world of demons. The only way to travel between the two worlds is by possession.
Satan, the ruler of Gehenna, decides to conquer Assiah, but to do so, he must possess a human. Unfortunately for him, he does not find a suitable vessel and hence, sends his own son, expecting him to grow into a suitable vessel.
Rin Okumura, a regular teenager with quite a temper, has no idea that his actual father was Satan. Nor did he know about being a suitable vessel. However, after eventually discovering his fate, he decides to change it and joins an academy to train to become an exorcist so that he could foil Satan’s plans.
