Blue Exorcist has made a highly anticipated return with its latest arc, the Blue Night Saga, which has just started streaming on Crunchyroll following a brief holiday recess. Fans eagerly awaited this continuation, which was introduced with fresh openings and endings crafted by Studio VOLN, the current production house since the third season’s transition from A-1 Pictures.
Insights from the latest home video announcements indicate that the new series is planned to encompass 12 episodes, with two DVD and Blu-ray volumes scheduled for release. Considering historical patterns in anime production, this number is likely to remain accurate, though there is a slight chance that the arc could extend beyond this count.

Referred to also as the Blue Night Remembrance arc, this storyline is rich with critical revelations regarding Rin Okumura’s heritage and backstory. The Blue Night event is a pivotal moment in the series’ universe, which has piqued the interest of fans—especially those who have yet to explore the manga source material. Additionally, the involvement of Mephisto Pheles promises engaging developments within this narrative.
As this arc carries over from the Fall 2024 Anime Season, viewers can expect continuity in both the production team and the voice cast, which should result in a consistent quality throughout the upcoming episodes.
The Anime’s Progression with the Manga
This arc adapts content from volumes 22 to 25, encapsulating 21 chapters. Given that the previous arc, Beyond the Snow, was efficiently adapted within a single cour (16 chapters), it’s plausible that the current arc may similarly be confined in its adaptation length during this Winter 2025 Anime Season. Subsequent to the conclusion of the Blue Night Saga, the series will transition into the ongoing Of One Cloth arc.
Due to recent hiatuses in the manga’s release schedule, the production’s plans following the Blue Night Saga remain uncertain, with possibilities including a short hiatus to allow author Kazue Kato to complete ongoing storylines.
You can stream Blue Exorcist now on Crunchyroll, with the next episode set to premiere on January 11, 2025. Additionally, past seasons are available for viewing on Toonami. For further updates, you can refer to A.I.R on X (formerly Twitter).
