Episode list

Teito Klein is a young student at the Barsburg Military Academy in the same dorm with his best friend Mikage. They are getting ready for their graduation exam using their abilities, the Zaiphon. Teito sees a vision about a dark secret pertaining to his hidden past (which he is unable to remember) and attempts to assassinate Ayanami, the man who killed his father, but he is captured and sent to a cell. He plans to escape alone, however, when Mikage arrives at his cell to rescue him, he ends up escaping with the help of Mikage and manages to break free from the academy.

Three men are riding on hawkzile when Teito crashes into one of the men, Frau, and he is brought in to the Church. Teito attempts to escape, only to be brought back into the church. The three men introduce themselves as Frau, Castor, and Labrador- all bishops of the Church, which lies in the 7th District of the Barsburg empire. They ask him his name, but say he does not need to when they see Teito is hesitant. Teito wonders why the bishops and sisters are all very kind to him. Teito wonders about the condition of Mikage, who had helped him escape from the Academy. Teito enters the Library, wishing to know more about his murky past and his connection to the Raggs Kingdom, but ends up finding one of Frau's porn magazines which Frau hid in the library. Instead, Castor tells him about the Raggs war. He decides to find out the truth about the Raggs Kingdom and his past. Meanwhile, back at the Academy, Mikage is questioned by Ayanami as to whether he helped Teito escape or not. When he refuses to answer, Ayanami gives him a choice: either to save his family, which he treasures, or to save Teito.

Teito is about to leave the church when instead, he is brought to a place that seems to be the cafeteria by Frau. Though Teito begins to look for something else to eat when he sees that the meal of the day is Eye Stew. The sisters ask his name, but yet again, he hesitates. They say it's alright for him not to say his name. Later, Teito stumbles upon an old man who tells Teito he can grant his wish if he goes to the same spot at midnight. Teito decides to leave the Church and help Mikage. Teito then decides to run off by himself at night. Frau interrupts his thoughts, telling him that it might be his fate that he came to the Church. Frau and Teito fight using Zaiphon powers. During the fight, Teito reveals his name. The continue to fight, but Frau is too strong, gains the upper hand and punches Teito, making him fall unconscious. Castor realizes that Teito is a member of the Academy (as only those people have the ability to wield the Zaiphon). After waking up, Teito decides to go to the courtyard, where he sees the old man from before. Frau realizes that something is wrong. In the meantime, Mikage at the Academy is still unsure of which side to choose: either saving Teito or his family (namely his sister).

Teito talks with the old man, and tells him his wish to see Mikage. The old man places an odd symbol on Teito's neck while Teito has a vision that he saw Mikage, and runs toward him. The flower that Labrador gave him from before stops him, and he realizes that the Bishops are there in front of him. Frau begins to attack the old man, who turns out to be a "Kor". Frau brings out from his arm, a large scythe, and he is shocked that Teito can see it. The Bishops fight the man, and though Teito wants to help, Frau tells him he will only hurt the man's soul. Frau manages to release the Kor from the old man's soul and then gets rid of the symbol on Teito's chest. Teito asks Castor what a Kor is. Kor are creatures that tamper with men's desires- they grant the man's wish, but he or she is then put into a string of dark events in which the person is never satisfied with his or her wishes and eventually falls into darkness, becoming a host for the Kor. Back at the Academy, Mikage makes his final choice: he won't betray his best friend. An enraged Ayanami releases a surge of Zaiphon at Mikage.

Teito is greeted by the sisters, who want to do his laundry. Teito is running away, when he bumps into Frau, who throws his underwear up. Teito catches it, but falls into the fountain, where he meets Lazet, a mermaid. The bishops wonder what Teito's wish was. Teito is still affected by the events from the previous episode and after offering to help out the sisters, wonders why everyone is so kind to him. Teito has a vision where he realizes that he is the heir to the Raggs Kingdom and The Eye of Mikhail. While walking to the gate of the Church, Teito is shocked to see Mikage walking towards him. Mikage decides to stay with Teito at the Church, and while they are talking in the garden, they are attacked by a Kor sent by Ayanami. Teito fights the Kor, but can not hurt it. Frau appears and cleanses the man's soul from the Kor. At night, Teito reveals to Mikage his connection with the Raggs Kingdom.

The Church has its annual bazaar, and Teito, Mikage, and the sisters visit the bishops' shops. Labrador has a candy flower shop which has always been popular, because it is healthy and delicious. Castor has a clothes shop, though the clothes were originally for his dolls. Frau has a meats shop. Teito and Mikage try out his meat, but don't find it very nice once they find out what it's made of. Teito feels like Mikage is hiding something from him. At the entrance of the Church, Mikage helps a girl who has the Kor marking. Before Mikage can take the girl to the bishops, the girl becomes a Kor and attacks him. Teito comes to Mikage's rescue, but when the Kor captures Mikage and is about to kill him, The Eye of Mikhail activates, blinding the Kor. Frau comes and defeats the Kor while Teito becomes unconscious. When Teito wakes up, he and Mikage talk while the bishops watch them.

Mikage wonders whether or not he should leave the church, but is interrupted by Teito. As Teito and Mikage talk, Mikage is being watched by one of Castor's dolls. Mikage has a flashback of him and Teito when they were in the academy. Mikage notices a little boy watching him from behind a tree, but when he tries to talk to the boy, he runs off. The boy is caught stealing bread from a shop, but the bishops let him go. He tells Teito and Mikage his name is Tajio and tells them that his mom is dead and his dad went to go earn money. Meanwhile, the sisters put on a play for people who are visiting the church, but Tajio thinks its real and interrupts the play until Mikage comes to take him away. Tajio's dad comes to take him home, but the dad is revealed to be a Kor. Teito and Mikage run to save Tajio, and when Teito and Tajio are attacked, The Eye of Mikhail activates but then stops. Frau arrives and defeats the Kor, and Tajio and his dad go home.

As Teito and Mikage talk, Labrador predicts that the storm will come very soon, and right now is the calm. Mikage suddenly feels something inside of himself awaken, and as one last favor...asks Teito to kill him. Mikage begins to scream in pain. As his last words, Mikage tells Teito that he loves him and that hes always considered Teito to be just as important as his family. Ayanami possesses Mikage, releasing only one Kor wing. Teito and Mikage, who is possessed by Ayanami, fight, but Teito is injured and escapes with the help of one of Castors doll. Meanwhile, at the main Church, Castor senses that his doll has lost signal and Frau senses that a half Kor has entered the church. He goes off to find Teito. Teito in the meanwhile, has been found by Ayanami, and Teito begs him to give Mikage back. Ayanami puts a restraining collar on Teito's neck. Teito attempts to commit suicide in order to save Mikage, only falling unconscious. A guardian appears, and there is a flash of light as Teitos eyes open, revealing his irises to be blood red. Ayanami looks down in surprise as Teito asks Who are you to hurt my master?

Mikage, controlled by Ayanami, is still fighting Teito while Frau is on his way. Teito finally awakens with his eyes bloody-red and the Eye-of-Mikhail on his hand. The Collar on Teito's neck is close to bursting. Half out of control, Teito sends out multiple shots of Zaiphon damaging mass of the room. Ayanami uses a Binding-Zaiphon to strangle him and stop him, so he can't do much damage. Frau finally appears recognized by Ayanami as the God "Zehel", one of the Seven Ghosts. Frau cuts off the strangling Threads from Teito and tries to stop Ayanami. Frau uses his catch phrase, "May god be with you", revealing who he is to Teito. Ayanami and Frau have a little discussion. In a short period of time where the scythe is close to Mikage, Ayanami takes action and pushes the Scythe away. A short part of the Wing is cut off. Ayanami stops controlling Mikage, while Mikage's Wing starts to shatter. Feathers appear and Mikage is starts to vanish. Teito rushes to Mikage, but then Mikage vanishes. Frau then takes Teito to his dorm. Moments appear, where Teito and Mikage befriended and some things what happened. Frau visits Teito, and Teito notices a cute pet which is crawling close to him, which turns out to be the reincarnation of Mikage. Frau tries to remove Teito's collar but ends up making pact with him meaning Frau has become Teito's master.

Teito decides to leave the church believing he should not cause anyone any more trouble, on the way he meets Castor who asks him if he knows the shinigami Zehel. When Teito reveals he knows it was Frau, Castor puts him to sleep. As Castor gets ready to erase his memories, Frau interferes and says that if he is to erase his memory of seeing him as Zehel, then he will also forget Mikage's last smile. As he leaves, Frau's scythe goes out control and tries to attack an unconscious Teito, who awakens as the god Mikhail. Mikhail insulted then uses illusions to threaten Castor and Frau who can barely stand against Mikhail's power, Mikhail realizing that they are the seven ghosts says that if they were normal humans then they would have died or passed out. Castor tells Frau that the collar on Teito's neck has three commands: Bind, Sleep and Pain. Frau puts Mikhail to sleep with the sleep command. Teito regains consciousness and is taken to a place showing Mikage's last words.

Teito, now staying in the church, wonders what he can do to atone for Mikage's death. Castor advises him to take the Bishops Exam. Teito decides to take it, and Castor says he must pass the written exam first: memorize 7700 chapters from 77 volumes of Barsburg Bible in half a month. It took Frau three years to memorize it, but when Teito takes a look at one of the books, he realizes he has read them before. Teito reveals he remembers most of it when Castor tests him. The second exam tests the person's ability to use Zaiphon techniques. Teito tries using it, but fails. Castor gives him a sort of pin that proves he is taking the Bishops Exam. When Teito doesn't progress with using a bascule, or staff, Castor gives Teito a Frau doll with incredible speed. After the doll acts like a pervert to the three sisters, Teito activates the staff and blows the doll up. After a talk with Labrador, Teito decides to learn and expose the truth of the world. While wandering in the hall, Teito sees a person looks like Mikage, but unfortunately is an examinee named Hakuren Oak. Hakuren sees the Bishops Exam Participant Clip on Teito's neck and declares Teito his rival.

A man is seen making an agreement with a Kor, and being possessed by it. Then it switches to Teito and Hakuren who get into an argument, and both of them agree that if they weren't in a Church, they'd beat each other up. Then as Hakuren walks away, Mikage jumps from Teito's shoulder to Hakuren's head. Teito rushes after them and ends up watching Assistant Arch-Bishop Bastian demonstrating how to destroy a Kor without hurting the vessel. When its over, Teito runs into Frau, Castor, and Labrador. They encourage him in his studies, and Castor tells Teito that starting that night he's going to give Teito special training. Teito is finally moved from the guest room, into the dorms for the Bishop Candidates. It turns out that his roommate is Hakuren Oak. After cleaning his Bascules, Hakuren declares that they should practice with their Bascules. So they make their way to the training room, where they're greeted by the gate keeper, who turns out to be an ex-criminal. Suddenly, Aldo collapses. Teito and Hakuren take him to the infirmary, causing them to be late to class. The Bishop Candidates enter the training hall, where hundreds of Kor are trapped in a water barrier. Teito finally understands how to use his Bascules after some help from Hakuren and Assistant Arch-Bishop Bastian. He even accidentally blows up the training hall with his zaiphon.

Aldo, the criminal, is mysteriously murdered. Later that night Teito can't sleep so he goes for a walk. He ends up stopping by a picture of a woman holding a baby. Then he gets a flashback of a strange man holding him when he was a child. He then returns to his room. The next day Teito heads towards the library and ends up seeing a vision of his past again, causing him to fall out of his chair. He then is joined by Hakuren and Frau. Hakuren gives a book to Frau, which ends up being one of Frau's many porn stashes. The two instantly bond after that. Then Assistant Arch-Bishop Bastian comes and confiscates it after hitting Frau upside the head. They both leave after that. Later Teito is seen looking for Frau's room in order to return his broken Bascule. As he approaches it he overhears Frau and Castor talking about him. Frau senses someone at the door and opens it to reveal a shocked Teito. He apologizes to Frau, then runs off upset. He has another flashback about his life as a church orphan with "Father." Later he and Frau have a talk about the Eye of Mikhail, where Teito accuses Frau and the Church of wanting the power of The Eye. Frau in turn tells Teito that its up to him to decide whether or not to trust them. A mysterious figure is seen challenging Castor, by almost attacking him.

Castor, Labrador, and Frau talk about the mysterious figure who attacked Castor. That night Teito begins his special training with Castor and the "Frau" dolls. When Teito returns to his room, Hakuren inquires about what he was doing so late at night. As Teito changes, Hakuren notices the sklave tattoo on Teito's lower back. Then Hakuren tells Teito the reason he wants to become a Bishop. One night during his training session, Castor gives him a professional-grade Bascules and tells him to try it out on the "Frau" dolls. He sends them flying and when he's done, Castor invites Hakuren to join them, since he'd been watching the whole thing for a while. On the way back both Hakuren and Teito are attacked by a shadow monster. They are saved by Frau. Both of them wake up back in Frau's room and Frau explains that what attacked them was a Wars. Teito declares that when he becomes strong to protect Hakuren, he wants to become his friend. Frau makes a vague comment about what the scythe is doing to him.

Teito states that he's putting his all into studying for the Bishop's Exam. Teito is to short to reach a book so Hakuren goes to help him, but Teito jumps up and reaches it before Hakuren, who says "Wasn't that a bit much?" The two boys are approached by an unknown Bishop who gives Teito a Bishop's Pass and message from the owner of the pass, whose name was Fea Kruez. Castor attacks the strange man, who disappears in a cloud of black smoke, but not before saying that the Church isn't on Teito's side and to ask "That foolish Bishop" about it. So Teito confronts Labrador, Frau, and Castor. They tell him that its up to him to decide whether or not to trust them. Frau fights one of the Black Hawks, who disappears right before Church Guards come. They arrest Frau for holding a Warfeil weapon. Meanwhile Teito finally decides to trust all of them.

Labrador tells Castor and Teito that Fraus be given the death sentence. So Teito goes off in search of the prison that Frau is being kept in. Lazette ends up taking Teito deep under water where the prison is. Frau and Teito talk, and Frau refuses to breakout with Teito. Frau tells Teito that if he "Wants to put him at ease, then smile." He also dedicates a verse from their bible to him. Teito starts to swim away, then suddenly turns around and give Frau the funniest smile. It shocks Frau so much that he drops his apple. Teito then exits the waterway and Hakuren appears and gives him a towel. That night they both decide to investigate the tower where Frau was arrested.

Castor uses Kuroyuri to speak with Ayanami. An explosion separates the two and Haruse catches Kuroyuri, while Labrador catches Castor.

Teito uses the power of the Eye of Mikhail to summon Frau, Castor, Labrador, Lance, and the Black Hawks. He then sends them, himself, and Ayamani to a white place where they're surrounded by giant figures of the Seven Ghosts.
