Blue Exorcist: Shimane Illuminati Saga episode 1 recap
Episode 1 kicked off with Rin Okumura deciding to help his classmate, Makoto Godaiin, who began seeing demons. Upon inquiring, the protagonist found out that Makoto had been seeing these creatures ever since the summer vacation ended.
The next day, Rin received an invitation letter from the True Cross Academy's Chairman, Mephisto Pheles. The letter also mentioned that his execution had been put on hold.
At that precise moment, the protagonist and his friends heard a shriek in the hallway and discovered that a low-level demon attacked Makoto. Rin Okumura then demonstrated his demonic powers to scare off the creature.

Later, he asked his friends whether or not they had any solution to Makoto's demon sighting problem, but they didn't have any. As such, he decided to ask Mephisto about the same. However, he learned a shocking truth when he arrived at the Chairman's mansion.
It was revealed that Mephisto's actual name was Samael, the King of Time, and he was one of the Demon Royalty known as Baal. He transported Rin to Gehenna to show the disparity between their strengths.
Mephisto/Samael then assured Rin that he would help him with Makoto's problem, but he would have to complete an assignment in exchange. Following that, the episode saw a typical moment between Rin and Yukio.

Back to the Academy, Mephisto assigned Rin and his friends a task involving a demon's exorcism. Fortunately, Konekomaru applied his genius to pinpoint the demon's weakness and helped them exorcise it.
Elsewhere in Yemen, Arthur and Lewin Light (referred to as Lightning) investigated a case related to the return of the Impure Princess. The Paladin (Arthur) wielded his blade to obliterate the woman who had consumed the Impure Princess' heart.
Finally, the episode ended with Rin Okumura giving Makoto an eye drop he got from Mephisto as his reward. He assured the boy that applying those eye drops would let him stop seeing the demons. The episode ended with Rin's friends inviting him to a Monja-eating party.
