What to anticipate from Blue Exorcist Season 4?

Season 4 is structured in two parts: the Beyond the Snow Saga and the Blue Night Saga, which will air continuously without hiatus between the two segments. The animation is being produced by Studio VOLN, known for their prior works on I Want to Eat Your Pancreas and Blue Exorcist Season 3.

The spotlight of this season will primarily be on Yukio’s internal struggles as he copes with feelings of inadequacy stemming from his lesser power when compared to Rin. Additionally, the overarching plot involving the secrets of the Illuminati will weave through this narrative. The romantic dynamics between Shiemi, Yukio, and Rin will also play a significant role in the first part of Season 4.

The series blends elements of supernatural action with coming-of-age storytelling, featuring returning voice talents from the Illuminati arc, including Nobuhiko Okamoto as Rin Okumura and Jun Fukuyama as Yukio Okumura, Rin’s brother.

Directing duties for Season 4 will once again fall to Daisuke Yoshida, who previously helmed the Shimane Illuminati arc. The musical score will be crafted by Hiroyuki Sawano and Kohta Yamamoto, with Yurie Ohigashi taking on the role of chief animation director. While the adaptation of Blue Exorcist has experienced mixed reviews among supporters, Season 4 appears to be faithfully bringing the manga to life with a carefully paced storyline.
