Kato, Kazue. Blue Exorcist, Vol. 9. 2013. 192p. ISBN 9781421554778. Available in the graphic novels section of the library. 


Following the deployment of all exorcists in Kyoto in Blue Exorcist, Vol. 8, the battle against the Impure King concludes as Rin finally realizes that in order to win he must acknowledge that he is in fact the son of Satan, and call on the powers that come with that filial link. Using the Koma sword he was finally able to pull out of its scabbard, Rin defeats the Impure King, and saves his friends from ruin. Injured individuals are taken back to the temple and the inn, where they are nursed back to health. Yukio's confrontation with Saburota Todo triggered something inside him, and he no longer trust his older brother Rin to do the right thing. 

Rin and his friends get to enjoy a day of sightseeing in Kyoto, before being dispatched to a nearby beach. A Kraken has been spotted, and the exorcists prepare countermeasures to defeat it. Meanwhile, Shura remains suspicious of Mephisto Pheles and his motives behind pushing Rin to exploit his powers. What plan is the president of the Exorcism Cram School working towards?

The story continues in Blue Exorcist, Vol. 10.
