Blue Exorcist season 4 episode 1 recap

Season 4 episode 1 opens with a meeting of the Knights of the True Cross Roundtable, led by Mephisto Pheles, where they discuss the ongoing threat from the Illuminati.

To combat increased demonic activity caused by the events at Far East Laboratory, the Vatican has ordered True Cross Academy to accelerate the training and certification of new exorcists.

This decision leads to an earlier Exorcist Certification Exam for Rin and his classmates.

Mephisto arrives at the academy and announces the Vatican’s mandate. A new Arch Knight named Lightning joins the faculty to replace Shura Kirigakure.

Suguro, impressed by Lightning’s reputation, immediately seeks him out as a mentor. Lightning agrees to take Suguro under his wing. But first, he tests Suguro’s character and exorcist skills through Demon Karuta cards.
