After his secret is exposed, Rin takes part in a special mission alongside Shura and Yukio to retrieve the "Left Eye of the Impure King", a demon relic that was stolen from the True Cross Academy's vault. In the occasion, they fail to retrieve it, but discover that the culprit is Saburota Todo, one of the exorcists in charge of the vault, that was corrupted upon being possessed by a demon. After hearing that there was an attempt to steal the Left Eye's sister relic, the "Right Eye of the Impure King" in Kyoto, the Order sends a team there to investigate, including Shura, Yukio and the Esquires, who are in conflict after learning the truth about Rin.

Note: Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga effectively begins after the 17th episode of the first season, right at the point where it deviates from the manga (ignoring anime original scenes from episodes 16 and 17). Thus, the events from episodes 18–25 are ignored.

The Exwires arrive at Kyoto, and Ryuji, Konekomaru and Renzo take the opportunity to reunite with their families, while Rin and the others tend to the Exorcists of the Myoda Sect, who got wounded guarding the Right Eye of the Impure King. In the occasion, Rin meets Ryuji's father, and learns that Ryuji is resentful of him, as despite being the leader of the Myoda Sect, he is not respected by the others, as he relegated his duties since the Sect (which was weakened after losing several of its members on the Blue Night) joined the True Cross Order. Meanwhile, Todo, with the Left Eye of the Impure King replacing his own, contacts his mole inside the Sect, planning another attempt to steal the Right Eye.
283"Suspicion Will Raise Bogies"
Transliteration: "Gishinanki" (Japanese: 疑心暗鬼（ぎしんあんき）)		Yū AokiYuichiro KidoToshiyuki FujisawaJanuary 21, 2017 (2017-01-21)
The Myoda Sect has an emergency meeting to discuss the failed attempt to steal the Right Eye of the Impure King, and discover who among them is the traitor collaborating with Todo. In the occasion, suspicions were raised towards two of the sect's exorcists, Renzo's older brother Juzo and Mamushi as they were present at the scene and were Todo's students in the past, but the head priest, who did not attend the meeting, was counted as a suspect as well, much to Ryuji's anger. Meanwhile, Rin continues with his training to control his flames while trying to reconcile with his friends, who fear how the Myoda will respond once they learn that he is the son of Satan.
