How Many Seasons Of Blue Exorcist Are There

Okay, let's talk about Blue Exorcist. Specifically, how many seasons it REALLY has.

The "Official" Answer

If you Google it, you'll probably see three. Season 1, Kyoto Saga (Season 2), and then Shimane Illuminati Saga (Season 3). Seems simple, right?

Well, hold your horses! I have a confession. I'm not entirely convinced. Buckle up, this might be an unpopular opinion.

Here's My Hot Take

I'm gonna say it. Kyoto Saga feels more like a really long, awesome arc than a whole separate season.

Think about it! It picks up IMMEDIATELY after the first season's initial story. Same characters, same problems, just a new location and bigger baddies.

It’s like one giant, delicious burrito, instead of separate tacos. Am I alone in this?

Let's Discuss "Seasons" and Arcs

Anime "seasons" can be weird. Sometimes they’re distinct stories. Other times, they just split up a long narrative for broadcast reasons.

Kyoto Saga leans hard into the latter. I mean, the story IS good. Don't get me wrong! Just... connected.

What About The Filler, Though?

Okay, some might argue about the filler in the first season. I admit it took some liberties. It veered off the manga's path, and that's a valid point.

But still! Kyoto Saga directly follows those events! No time jump, no reset button. Just straight into exorcist action!

So, What's My Final Verdict?

Unofficially? I'd say two. One HUGE first season and then Shimane Illuminati Saga as the second.

I know, I know, I'm probably wrong according to official sources. But my heart (and my binge-watching habits) tell me otherwise.

Maybe it's like arguing about whether a hotdog is a sandwich. There's no right or wrong answer, just strong feelings.

The Real Question: Is More Coming?

Honestly, THAT'S what I really want to know! The Blue Exorcist world is so cool.

Rin's journey, the demon politics, the crazy action scenes... It all deserves more screen time.

I’d love to see the story continue, regardless of how many "seasons" we’re calling them. Come on, A-1 Pictures!

Ultimately, It's About the Love

Whether you agree with my "two-season" theory or think I'm completely off my rocker, one thing's for sure: Blue Exorcist is awesome.

The characters are great, the plot is engaging, and the animation is top-notch.

So, let’s just appreciate this amazing series. And cross our fingers for more episodes in the future! Whether it's season 4, 5, or whatever... I'll be watching!
