Synopsis:

The series explores a world intricately linked between the human realm of Assiah and the demonic realm of Gehenna, connected by the unsettling act of possession. When Satan, the powerful ruler of Gehenna, is unable to find a suitable vessel, he sets his son, Kiryuu, on a path to conquer Assiah – a long-term strategy to eventually become a host for the demon king. Rin Okumura, seemingly an ordinary youth, discovers his extraordinary heritage and destiny as Satan's son after a demonic attack reveals his true nature. Rejecting his father’s ambitions, Rin chooses a different path: training to become an exorcist alongside his brother Yukio. The narrative follows their struggles to protect Assiah from the encroaching darkness, navigating themes of inherited destiny, familial bonds, and the complex relationship between good and evil.
