The story revolves around Rin Okumura, a teenager possessing abnormal
strength and endurance who, along with his younger twin brother Yukio,
was raised by Father Shiro Fujimoto. Soon after Yukio departs to study
at the prestigious True Cross Academy, Rin learns that he is the son of
Satan, the strongest of all demons. Witnessing Shiro dying to protect
him, Rin ends up doing what his guardian asked him never to do: draw the
demon-slaying blade Kurikara, which restrains his demonic powers, from
its scabbard. From that moment on, Rin not only gains permanent demonic
features like fangs, pointed ears and a tail, but also the power to
ignite himself into blue flames that can destroy anything they touch.
At Shiro's funeral, Rin has an encounter with Mephisto Pheles, who
agrees with Rin's wish to become an Exorcist like his guardian to take
revenge on Satan. Rin enrolls at the True Cross Academy, which is
actually the Japanese branch of an international organization dedicated
to protect the human realm, Assiah, from demons and other creatures from
the demon realm, Gehenna. Rin takes part in a special Exorcist course,
the existence of which is known only by a few. Much to his surprise, he
finds that his brother Yukio is already a veteran Exorcist and will be
one of his teachers.
