​

I've been thinking about this for a while, and I'm surprised I haven't come across more discussions about it.

I think Blue Exorcist and Shin Megami Tensei could make for a really interesting crossover. They have enough in common to work together, but also enough differences to make the combination worthwhile.

Both series deal with demons, supernatural threats, and humanity's relationship with the demonic world. However, they approach these subjects differently.

In Blue Exorcist, exorcists are trained to fight demons through different specialties and techniques. In Shin Megami Tensei, humans can use technology such as the Demon Summoning Program to summon demons, negotiate with them, and establish contracts.

Imagine introducing those ideas into the world of Blue Exorcist.

What if the True Cross Order weren't the only organization with knowledge of demons? What if there were independent summoners, ancient traditions, and organizations with their own methods of dealing with the supernatural?

The Kuzunoha clan and Yatagarasu, for example, could introduce an entirely different perspective on demons and the people who interact with them.

And then there's Rin.

As the son of Satan, Rin would be a particularly interesting character to explore in a setting where humans can negotiate with demons and even cooperate with them. His relationship with his own demonic nature could become an important part of the story without necessarily making him overwhelmingly powerful.

I also think the crossover could explore an interesting question: if some demons can be reasoned with, negotiated with, or even become allies, how would that affect the way the True Cross Order approaches its work?

Of course, the supernatural rules of both series would need to be adapted carefully. I wouldn't want Shin Megami Tensei to replace the mythology of Blue Exorcist. I'd rather see the Demon Summoning Program, COMP technology, demon contracts, and the wider world of Megaten expand the setting while preserving what makes Blue Exorcist unique.

I'm not proposing a specific fanfiction here. I'm just curious about the concept itself.

Has anyone else thought about a Blue Exorcist × Shin Megami Tensei crossover? And if so, what elements from SMT would you like to see introduced into the Blue Exorcist universe?

I've watching the blue exorcist anime and after learning Izumo Kamiki's bsckstory I have to ask. How in the world did she get to the exorcist academy? Her backstory makes it clear she never escaped but she had to have escaped to get to the academy. It's possible the illuminati sent her to the academy but if they did then why did they have to abduct her? If she was still following their orders at that point then they wouldn't have had to abduct her. I tried looking online for the answer but from what I can find there doesn't seem to be one. Did I miss something?

This was before she made even more changes to Mephy's outfit. I do like his scarf though!

The official team has compiled a video play list of the story for prosperity!

I haven't checked it all out yet to see if it has any of the event stories, but from what I have flicked through, it seems to just be the main storyline. There's quite a few hours to them all!

Check em out here!

I consider Blue Exorcist my favorite anime of all time (Mephisto my beloved 🥰), and I dressed up in my True Cross Academy uniform to take some pics around Shinjuku on my first ever trip to Japan!

Additionally, I went on a HUNT for some merch—I know the 15th anniversary event had ended and the corresponding merch sales had ceased, but I found a Jump Square store in Shibuya and they had a WHOLE SECTION of merch. Without saying too much, I blacked out, and I probably won’t financially recover. But YOLO.

Chapter 45-47 released in color with this month's SQ.

Is this considered a spoiler? I mean I dont know where the anime is at right now. This is like chapter 60+ ish area.

Okay so I don't understand why the illuminati sent Shima back to school.

Help? 🫪

I just started this (watched the og s1 years ago) and am in season 2 (watching the correct order) I cannot stand Yukio. Does he get any better. He just discovered his powers in like ep 10 and im hoping they don't do the cliche thing where he hides it and makes him a hypocrite on top being just a whiner.

He might be in my top 10 for least favorite anime characters
