Blue Exorcist 92 Commentary/Translation

The news doesn't mention a monster, but talks about an area around 2km being blocked off

But some people in the crowd are wondering if this is the real news and not CGI because they can see the cyclops, but don't know what it is. The fact that Godain is there is clearly meant to parallel him suddenly being able to see demons without every getting a temptaint I'm sure

200,000 people affected, jesus...

A looot of people in the crowd can see it....

But not Nori's family I guess since they seem pretty relaxed...

So since the end of last year, more demons are appearing in Tokyo, and the number of people who can see them is increasing

Yaozo wonders if something is happening...

Yukio tells the exwires they're to head to Ikebukuro by Shinkansen, while he'll go join the fight with his key.

"Well, as a spy, I've got spy activities to do." Shima plz

Rin needs to always wear scarves he looks so cute...

Shima just looks like a gangster

The incident is trending online apparently, so it's becoming a pretty big deal

Suguro says there's something he needs to talk to Rin about, but he can't talk to him about it here. He asks to meet him somewhere tomorrow.

BET SOMETHING'S GONNA COME UP AND STOP THAT, HUH.....

Rin can tell something is up... but Sugor goes to call lightning instead

Izumo finds a tweet about seeing the demon that's jumped up to 30,000 retweets, which is a crazy number of people reporting seeing the demon

Ohhhh someone took a video of the fight and posted it, so they're watching Shura battle the thing!

Cyclops are demons of fire and iron, and rarely eat humans. Their eyes shoot fire, and they'll go out of control until the eye is destroyed, and can turn the battlefield into a field of flames.

The only records they have on them are very old it seems

And Lightning has been called, but hasn't shown up yet...

AND THEN IT FIRES A LASER

So everyone has to switch from fighting it to evacuating

The people running think it's a terrorist attack

Ah... Shura lamenting that she's the one who'll take the hit for things going poorly, wondering why she's still allowed to be a first class exorcist when she has a demon sword without any magic

"I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT IT FIRING LASERS???"

Oh damn the cyclops got bigger/stronger because more people noticed it?? That's terrifying. Lightning comments that it was smaller when shown on tv.

Shura: YOU'RE LATE WHERE WERE YOU ASSHOLE??
Lightning: Oh, I was hiding! But then I decided to come help you! You should praise me!

GENERAL FROST apparently the name of the strongest ice demon, l-lol...

Frosty the goddamn snowman

Apparently Shura's sword is the perfect vessel for water and spirit related demons, which includes ol Frosty

But all this means Lightning is gonna have Shura do all the work still pfft. Lightning swears he'll back her up!!

Freezes the shit outta that eye, yas

And that settles it, and Shura thanks Lightning but -- now there's another matter!

There's a bunch of ghosts appearing in a park now oops

Shura's all I'M COUNTING ON U LIGHTNING and he's just like "I JUST WANNA HIDE THO"

They came in as reinforcements, but there are no Aria's specializing in Shinto beliefs present, which is giving them some trouble

And now Lightning and Yukio

"HEY TEACH I HEARD U THREATENED MY PUPIL WITH A GUN

Yukio doesn't know how to deal with such straight forward people

Suguro asked if it was okay to tell Yukio about their research... he wants to help u, bruh...

He says no, but he asks what Yukio wants to know, and Yukio says he doesn't have to talk to him if he won't tell him anything.

He calls Yukio and Egoist, Yukio says the same back to him, who argues that excuse you, he's a humanist!!

He calls Suguro kind, recalling what he said about hoping that maybe telling Yukio the truth could save him...

"You can only save people who want to be saved"

"And that guy doesn't want to be saved."

Actual Angst Machine Yukio Okumura

"Right? Shima-kun?" LIGHTNING U ASS

Lightning straightup asks if he's keeping an eye on Yukio, and Shima is like "Man even if you ask like that I can't just tell you..."

And then he begs him to remove the "bell" around his neck, since he's a spy for the order too you know!!!

And he says he'll do it!

But not for free

There's something he wants Shima to do for him..

Shima looks so uncomfy tho

Osceola Redarm!! Had to google his name, dat katakana

People start talking about getting backup from the Vatican but are like "Wait just for ghosts tho?"

"Ah, you found me, Osceola!"

And then Lightning went to jail

But okay I think he's just being summoned for questioning, but appaaaarently Lightning was looking forward to him using a different method, hmm

They restrain him and he asks them to be more gentle, sees Yukio, and then clearly pretends to flip out

"I DON'T WANNA BE CAUGHT, SAVE MEEEE"

Lightning plz

Tells Yukio his ultra secret "I love sushi" code

Osceola: "KNOCK IT OFF LEWIN WUT R U DOIN"
Lightning: "YESU SIR AIMU SORRIII" lol dat katakana

They actually seem kinda close, first name basis and all. I like this.

Ah and there are the main characters standing around like "So uh what r we doin??" and then Lightning sees Suguro and is just like "Sup"

"Ah, they caught me sooner than I though. I won't be back for a little while, so I leave the research notes to you!"

Ah man, there was a big fire... lots of black smoke still pouring out, according to the news report

There's still no info on how extensive the damages are or casualties, since it's not being released. They say that the incident definitely started with the train accident, and while a terrorist attack is still a possibility, there's a lot of talk on the internet about it being the work of an "unknown monster"

Suguro is getting wrapped into his work, and Shima and Yukio are late, but Rin says they might as well eat

"We won't cheer up if we don't eat something."

And the it's snowing!

"That guy... I hope he's at least eating something warm..." VOTES RIN FOR BEST MOM

And then Yukio finds the thumbdrive, being all like LIGHTNING...!!!

And then he asks to use the computer and we get another cliffhanger with the sign off "HAS THE TIME COME FOR HIM TO LEARN EVERYTHING....!?"
