Synopsis of Blue Exorcist

Humans and demons are two sides of the same coin, just as Assiah and Gehenna, their respective worlds, are. The only way to travel between the two worlds is through a possession. However, Satan, the ruler of Gehenna, has not been able to find a vessel worth possessing and consequently remains locked 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 demons.

The story follows Rin Okumura, who appears 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 to finally perform the conquest of Assiah together.
