In the first episode of Matoi the Sacred Slayer, entitled "I'm Possessed!," we are introduced to a high school girl named Matoi Sumeragi. Matoi is a cheerful and energetic girl, living a relatively normal life with her father within a peaceful city. However, things take a mysterious and supernatural turn when her father suddenly disappears.
Matoi's world is turned upside down when she discovers a strange power within herself that she did not know existed. She awakens in a temple inhabited by two caretakers of various antique items that have been collected by the temple. The two caretakers, Kanenogi and Shiori, explain to Matoi that her power is a Sacred Slayer's. A Sacred Slayer is someone who possesses the power to seal away demons that have possessed humans.
Matoi struggles to come to terms with her new-found abilities and the fact that her father has gone missing. She doesn't believe in demons and supernatural powers, but her situation leaves her with no other choice than to accept this new reality. Matoi finds it even more difficult to cope with the sudden change in her life when she is approached by her classmate Yuma Kusanagi. Yuma is a girl who claims to have fallen for Matoi's dad during an unrelated case that she worked on with him. Yuma seeks Matoi's help in order to find her father, and Matoi reluctantly agrees to assist her.
As Matoi and Yuma work together to find her father, they come across several obstacles that attempt to stand in their way. The duo unearths some family secrets about Matoi's past, putting her in even more danger from the people that seek her power for their own benefit. The episode reaches a climactic moment when Matoi is forced to question the truth behind her father's disappearance and seek the help of her newfound powers.
The episode introduces several important characters, including the two caretakers of the temple, Kanenogi and Shiori, who provide Matoi with the information she needs to understand her newfound powers, and Yuma, Matoi's classmate and fellow sleuth. The episode also reveals that there is a mysterious organization that seeks to exploit Sacred Slayers and use them for their own gain. As the episode ends, Matoi comes face to face with a demon, for the first time, and realizes the true danger of the powers she possesses.
