During a discussion with some friends, one of my friends said that blue
exorcist is based on a slush puppy. I know some artists can get creative
through a lot of things (elfen lied from a German poem) but I found this one
pretty hard to believe.

Hence my question: Is blue exorcist really based on this slush puppy? Or on
something else?

Is Blue exorcist really based on a slush puppy?


In an interview with Animenewsnetwork, he said that he was inspired by a Grimm
fairy tale:

> **What were your chief inspirations when creating Blue Exorcist?**

> **Kato:** It originally was inspired by a Brothers Grimm fairy tale, where
> brothers combat monsters. Then, I tried to make the story flip several
> times, and settled down into a simple structure of demons versus an
> exorcist.
