Blue Exorcist Season 3 has yet to be officially confirmed, so there is no release date for the third season of this anime series. Show
The question is, will there be a Blue Exorcist Season 3, and when is it coming out? In this post, we will answer whether or not Blue Exorcist anime Season 3 will happen in 2022, as well as a potential release date, but first, some essential info: Blue Exorcist is a fantastic action series with supernatural elements and demons. The main character of this anime series is Rin Okumura. The story is about Rin Okumura, who appears to be an ordinary teenager. When he is ambushed by demons one day, his life is turned upside down when he realizes that he is, in fact, Satan’s son. The Blue Exorcist anime series has had over 37 episodes across two seasons so far. The first season aired from April to October 2011 with 25 episodes, and the second season aired from January to March 2017 with 12 episodes. There is also a movie from 2012 and three OVAs. Season one did have an original ending, but season two changed it such that everything beyond episode 17 never happened in the first season. This anime series has many fans that want to know if Blue Exorcist will get a Season 3 and when the new season is coming out. So now, let’s figure out if Blue Exorcist will have a season 3 and the likely Ao no Exorcist Season 3 release date.  How Can We Figure Out If There Will Be Blue Exorcist Season 3?The most reliable way to figure out if Blue Exorcist Season 3 will happen is to look at the source material status and whether the anime made a good profit. It’s possible to tell from that information 95% of the time if there are any plans to continue an anime series and estimate the likely release date. I did it for hundreds of other anime sequels, like:
And I looked at that information for Blue Exorcist, so if you want to know if there will be a season 3 or even a Blue Exorcist season 4, read this article. After reading this article, you will know whether Blue Exorcist season 3 will be announced in 2022, as well as the release date for Ao no Exorcist season 3. Let’s start with the source material. The Blue Exorcist anime, known as Ao no Ekusoshisuto in Japan, is based on a successful manga. The Blue Exorcist manga series is written and illustrated by Kazue Kato. How Many Volumes Of Blue Exorcist Are There?As of February 2022, there have been 27 volumes published in Japan for the Blue Exorcist manga series. There is also a spin-off manga focusing on Rin’s brother, Yukio. The spin-off manga ended on April 3, 2020. Is The Blue Exorcist Manga Still Going?Yes, the Blue Exorcist manga series is still ongoing in 2022. Kazue Kato published the latest volume in Japan on July 2, 2021. There was only one new volume released in 2021 since the manga is on an eight-month hiatus until April 2022. Also, there is no Blue Exorcist manga volume 28 release date yet, but Blue Exorcist should return soon. Blue Exorcist Manga After Season 2?Blue Exorcist manga after season 2 is volume 9. The first season adapted volumes 1 to 4, and the second one did volumes 5 to 8. So, if you want to start reading from where the second season of Blue Exorcist ended, check out Blue Exorcist manga Volume 9 in English. Every season of Blue Exorcist has used four volumes, so the start of season 3 is volume 9, and the end is likely volume 13. That means there is enough content for at least four more Blue Exorcist seasons in 2022. I highly recommend checking out the Blue Exorcist Manga. Many fans prefer books over anime, and it is the only way to continue the story in 2022. Blue Exorcist Profitability for season 3If there’s one reason why 90% of anime series never get more than one or two seasons, it’s because they didn’t make enough money and profit. That is why it is critical to examine Blue Exorcist’s profitability and sales figures. How well did the Blue Exorcist Blu-ray sell?The Blue Exorcist Blu-ray sold roughly 12,700 copies per disk for the season. That’s fantastic for 2011. The second season sold only 2,200 copies per disk. This number doesn’t include the English release of Blue Exorcist Blu-ray. That’s around 80% down, which is terrible. Even though there were six years between seasons one and two, this is not normal. How well does the Blue Exorcist Manga sell?Volume 26 sold 230,000 copies, and the latest volume, Volume 27, sold only around 200,000 copies. The Blue Exorcist manga used to sell a lot better, with volume 10 selling 730,000 copies. Selling 200,000 copies in 2021 is not bad, but it’s still about three times less than the series used to sell after the first season. The second season did not increase manga sales at all. How many copies does Blue Exorcist have in print?At least 20,000,000 copies of the Blue Exorcist series are in print. It had 17,000,000 copies in 2018, so it should be above 20 million in 2022. It is one of the top 100 best-selling manga series of all time. The manga will likely never reach the top 50 since it’s often on hiatus. The author is currently working on a different series. I would not be surprised to see it end soon, but the author said it’s only half done. How Much Money Did The Movie Make At The Box Office?The box office for the Blue Exorcist movie is 560,000,000 Japanese Yen or around 4.5 million dollars. For most anime films, a box office of 4.5 million dollars is adequate. However, Blue Exorcist was at its peak of popularity in 2013. Anything below 750 million yen is likely not that great for such a big title as this series used to be. How much merchandise is there for Blue Exorcist?There are more than 60 figurines, but most are low-quality and chibi versions. There are also more than 500 pieces of merchandise made for this series. That is a decent amount. Some of the figures look amazing, such as this Rin Okumura DXF Figure. Also, check out this cool Mephisto Figure. Blue Exorcist did well in getting merchandise and figurines. The issue is that most of it is from the first season, and only 20% is from the second season. From the information above, we can conclude that the first season was profitable. But the second season was not. That is an issue for Blue Exorcist season 3. I highly recommend checking out the Blue Exorcist merchandise if you’re a fan of the Blue Exorcist series. There is some fantastic merch made for this franchise. Will There Be A Season 3 Of Blue Exorcist?Season 3 would take the story forward and continue the anime from season two, but season 3 of Blue Exorcist will likely never come out. That means there will never be a new season of Blue Exorcist, and the Blue Exorcist Season 3 Episode 1 will not be released either on Crunchyroll, Funimation, or even Netflix. The more interesting question is, why is the third season of Blue Exorcist never coming out? Now let’s look at what happened to Blue Exorcist Season 3. Also, learn if there will be:
What Happened To Blue Exorcist Season 3?There is no Blue Exorcist Season 3 release date because the second season was nowhere near as profitable as the first season was. In 2022, this franchise makes less than 20% of what it did in 2014/2015. It’s a shell of what it once was. Manga sales in 2022 are only around 30% of what they were in 2015, and no new merchandise has been released for this series for years now. The second season Blu-ray sales were also a disaster. The official website and the official Blue Exorcist Twitter account are no longer promoting this series, as they should be if there were any plans to make a third season. The main reason this series failed is that the first season had an original ending. Because of that, the second season came out six years after the first. I don’t believe Aniplex ever expected the first season to do this well. There was no reason to go for the original ending. To keep the majority of their fan base, most series release new seasons every two to three years. Anything more than that, and most series usually lose a lot of fans. The second season was likely a test of the waters. It sadly failed to achieve anything close to what the first season did. In conclusion, there will likely never be a Blue Exorcist Season 3, so don’t expect a release date for the third season of Ao no Exorcist.

Last ThoughtsHopefully, now you know if there will be a Blue Exorcist Season 3 release date or even a Blue Exorcist Season 4 release date. I don’t think there will ever be a season 3, but if there is any news or rumors about the third season, I will update this post. I also did this same analysis for many other series, so check them out:

Is Blue Exorcist over anime?The anime ended on October 2, 2011. The opening theme for the first 12 episodes is "Core Pride" by Japanese rock band Uverworld, while the opening theme from episode 13 onwards is "In My World" by Japanese rock band ROOKiEZ is PUNK'D.
Is Blue Exorcist back?For those who've been waiting on an update, Blue Exorcist has shared it will return to print starting in May 2022. This is slightly after the manga was expected to make its comeback when creator Kazue Kato decided to take a hiatus.
