Blue Night Saga Episode Count Revealed

Summary

  • Blue Night Saga is now airing on Crunchyroll, part of the new arc in Blue Exorcist. (85 characters)
  • Studio VOLN handles the series, with the arc likely to have 12 episodes, revealing Rin’s past. (93 characters)
  • The anime is catching up with the manga, covering volumes 22 to 25, maintaining quality. (89 characters)

Blue Exorcist returned last season for a new arc, and now episodes of the highly anticipated Blue Night Saga have just begun airing, after the holiday break. Fans can watch it on Crunchyroll.

Studio VOLN has been handling the series since the third season (replacing A-1 Pictures), and the new OP and ED were recently released alongside the first episode of the new arc. Fans actually expected it to take a bit longer for the studio to start adapting the Blue Night Saga.

Winter 2025 Preview: Blue Exorcist: The Blue Night Saga

Blue Exorcist: The Blue Night Saga premieres in January 2025, with Studio VOLN working on the series and Crunchyroll bringing Rin’s tale back to life.

According to information regarding the home video releases for the new cour, it is listed with 12 episodes (two DVD/Blu-ray volumes are set to be launched). Information coming from the DVD releases tends to be accurate, so it’s unlikely (but not impossible) that this arc will have more than 12 episodes.

The Blue Night Saga

The Blue Night Saga, also known as Blue Night Remembrance arc, is filled with revelations about Rin Okuruma’s past and birth. The Blue Night is a major event in the series’ lore, so fans are eager to know more about it (especially those who haven’t read the manga yet). We can also expect to see a lot from Mephisto Pheles, a key character in this part of the plot.

Since this is a carryover from the Fall 2024 Anime Season, the main staff and cast remain the same, so fans can also expect the series to maintain the same quality on those fronts.

The Anime Is Now Catching Up With the Manga

This arc is covered from volumes 22 to 25, and it comprises 21 chapters. Since the Beyond the Snow arc (16 chapters) was adapted in a single cour, it’s unlikely this arc will also be fully covered in this Winter 2025 Anime Season. After the Blue Night Saga comes the ongoing Of One Cloth arc.

Since the manga has gone through some hiatuses recently, it’s uncertain what the production will do after Blue Night Saga. They might give the adaptation a break, so Kazue Kato can finish the arc.

Blue Exorcist is currently streaming on Crunchyroll. The next episode is set for January 11, 2025. Previous seasons also air on Toonami.
