However, the King of Time reminds him that if he failed to take a demon's life, he would do anything he wanted to, and since he didn't kill the babies, now he has to take care of them.

The next part of Blue Exorcist: The Blue Night Saga episode 11 takes place in Gehenna, where Satan meets with his other children, including Mephisto, who has arrived with Shemihaza.

However, the other Demon Kings hold different opinions.

Mephisto manipulates the news to make Shiro the hero of the Blue Night, and there is a ceremony where he becomes Paladin, which reveals that Satan can reach out to him during his moments of weakness. Furthermore, it is revealed that Dr. Eminescu is still developing his research regarding a perfect body for Lucifer, signaling the beginning of the Illuminati now that Section 13 was closed.

He is also seen handing over the Kurikara to Tatsuma in Kyoto so he can take care of it.
