Who is Yuri Egin in Blue Exorcist?

Yuri Egin was the daughter of Ernst Frederik Egin, a high-ranking exorcist of German descent. Her father raised her to follow in his footsteps, but Yuri developed a more compassionate view of demons than her father. She often challenged his rigid beliefs, leading to disagreements.

Eventually, Yuri distanced herself from her father by living in a secluded forest, earning her the nickname “Witch of the Forest.”

The Blue Night Saga reveals that Yuri was later recruited by True Cross Academy’s Asylum, a research facility that studies and trains individuals with unique abilities to combat demons.

She became an Exwire, a special class of exorcist. Later, Yuri was assigned to the Lower Second Class as an exorcist, working as a Tamer.

How were Rin and Yukio born?

Now that we know who is Rin’s mom in Blue Exorcist, let’s look into how the Okumura brothers were born.

During a mission to investigate cases of spontaneous human combustion, Yuri and her exorcist team were ambushed by Satan’s blue flames. While her companions perished in the fire, Yuri miraculously survived. She encountered Satan possessing a wolf and felt pity for him, realizing he could never truly exist in the human world as his flames would consume his physical forms.

Yuri, intrigued by Satan, allowed him to possess her. Through this unusual connection, she began to teach him about human life and the complexities of existence.

Their interactions led to a romantic relationship and ultimately resulted in her pregnancy with his children: Rin and Yukio.

How did Yuri Egin die?

Yuri Egin tragically died shortly after giving birth to her twin sons. The exact cause of her death is not explicitly stated, but it’s implied that the complications of childbirth, particularly with twin pregnancies, were likely a significant factor.

The strain of carrying and delivering two children, especially given the unique circumstances of their father being Satan, likely took a severe toll on her health.
