The supernatural battles of the Blue Exorcist universe intensify as Toonami brings the latest chapter stateside. Beginning this weekend, fans can witness the adrenaline-fueled Shimane Illuminati Saga unfold during the block’s late-night lineup.
Scheduled for a 1:30 a.m. EDT slot on Saturdays, this continuation follows Rin Okumura’s journey deeper into the world of exorcists and demons. The series joins an action-packed roster featuring fan favorites like Dragon Ball Daima, DAN DA DAN, and the climactic Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War arc.
This newest adaptation picks up where previous installments left off, further exploring the conflict between the human realm and Gehenna. Kazue Katō’s original manga, boasting over 25 million copies in circulation worldwide, continues to inspire the anime’s gripping narrative.
