He's there, but I think he's sentenced to death too for what Bishamon did. Not sure if they'd accept his head, but it would be the perfect redemption for him. He's been having death flags for a while, and it'd be a way to apologize to Yukine.

>>150600165
He was a shit-tier hafuri anyway.

Has Yato ever shown this shadow power or whatever it is? I cannot remember any other instances.

>>150600946
I think the crispy corrupted 'aura' and the darkened eyes are from the blight, since it happens right after Yukine remembers about his dad. It was previously shown in Yato during Yukine's ablution and Bishamon during her arc. Not sure if that includes that strange shadow thing, though.

>>150601111
I don't think it has anything to do with the blight. He seems to activate and deactivate that thing at will, so I'm more inclined to believe it's Yato’s natural power that only comes out when he reverts back to his past self or something.

On another note, Take is actually growing on me. I didn't like him much in the beginning but he is sure coming around.

I swear to god if Daikoku dies I'm going to skin a cat

This arc is nuts. The status quo is no more.
Kazuma probably resents Yato now.
I don't even know how Yato could look Tenjin in the face anymore.
If Daikoku dies I'm going to cry some man tears.

>>150600946
Daddy dearest is such a damn good villain.

>>150600946
Dad did nothing wrong

>>150602122
If Daikoku dies, I can't see Kofuku and Yato being friends anymore

>>150602122
>I don't even know how Yato could look Tenjin in the face anymore.
Yeah this. The guilt must be unbearable.

What happened to Bishamon? Last chapter I read Yato was fighting for her.

>implying Daikoku will die

>>150602122
>>150602590

I could see Kofuku being permanently traumatised.

>>150602590
Would you prefer them as lovers instead?

>>150602813
But if Daikoku doesn't die, who does? Someone got slashed. Did Kazuma get in the way like he did in Bishamon arc? Cause I can't see this whole thing being resolved with the covenant. They've taken it too far for Yato to win with this game now.

>>150602787
when she was cutting daddy's neck, Yukine freaked out and as a result Yato cut her down.

She fell to earth unconscious and fading, and Hiyori is trying to protect her from gods that are coming to finish her off.

The god that found them is just talking to Hiyori though.

>>150602881
>But if Daikoku doesn't die, who does?

Ama's sacred treasure.

Although I can see Kazama interfering.

>>150602828
I think she offs herself if he dies, I don't think she could take remembering

I'm just a little confused. What exactly determines which guidepost vs. sacred treasure gets to live? Amaterasu tries to chop both heads off and the one with more willpower survives?

>>150604357
That's yet to be explained, but it's probably related to how corrupt Heaven is and whatever is making Amaterasu act like a bitch now.

I doubt Daikoku will die. But it's still sad to see Tsuyu go so quickly like that

I don't understand why Amaterasu was so eager to save Yato only to be so eager to cut him down now. Is she, in her own way, trying to save him?

W-what is happening? I dont want this. Bring back the happy times

>>150598598
Was Yato made only to suffer?
Why can't he just be happy?

>>150605023

Never. Read the mango, it's way better.

tenjin sama's guidepost died? just like that? heaven is so cruel. DONT KILL DAIKOKU IM BEGGING YOU

Did they show Yukine's flashback this chapter or skipped over it?

I want to kiss Hiyori.

>>150605472
Nothing yet. But we still have plenty of suffering to make for it.

That's the point. Heaven is retarded.

RIP plum tree, you were too good for this world.

>>150616102
well, yeah, pretty much

arbitrary decision because muh unquestionable omnipotence, inferior beings can go fuck themselves

>>150617111
The covenant is probably based on the covenant between Amaterasu and Susanoo.

"The texts also tell of a long-standing rivalry between Amaterasu and her other brother, Susanoo. When he was to leave Heaven by orders of Izanagi, he went to bid his sister goodbye. Amaterasu was suspicious, but when Susanoo proposed a challenge to prove his sincerity, she accepted. Each of them took an object of the other's and from it birthed gods and goddesses. Amaterasu birthed three women from Susanoo's sword while he birthed five men from her necklace. Claiming the gods were hers because they were born of her necklace, and the goddesses were his, she decided that she had won the challenge, as his item produced women." from Wikipedia-senpai.

I don't even see the logic, but hey, it's not like religious stuff is known for making sense.

>>150617348
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It almost seems to be a critique of religion since they're calling Heaven out for their BS.

>>150617348
>According to Papyrus Chester-Beatty I, Set is depicted as trying to prove his dominance by seducing Horus and then having intercourse with him. However, Horus places his hand between his thighs and catches Set's semen, then subsequently throws it in the river, so that he may not be said to have been inseminated by Set. Horus then deliberately spreads his own semen on some lettuce, which was Set's favorite food. After Set had eaten the lettuce, they went to the gods to try to settle the argument over the rule of Egypt. The gods first listened to Set's claim of dominance over Horus, and call his semen forth, but it answered from the river, invalidating his claim. Then, the gods listened to Horus' claim of having dominated Set, and call his semen forth, and it answered from inside Set. However, Set still refused to relent, and the other gods were getting tired from over eighty years of fighting and challenges.
Mythology in general is pretty entertaining

Goddammit. Why Tsuyu?

This is alllll Bishamon's fault.

>>150621251
Well, it all happened because Yato's dad was being a cunt again. But yeah, had Bishamon not snapped, this everything wouldn't be happening so it's actually her fault.

>>150621385
If she had just been a little smarter or resisted her revenge boner for just a few more days, this all could have been avoided.

Now a bunch of people are dead because of her (most of which she killed personally) and in the process manages to screw the two people closest to her, Yato and Kazuma.

>>150621557

She's a god of war, fixing things by beating them is how she does things. Over and over again she's shown to be unable to resolve things peacefully even when she tries. Usually she'll ignore problems and hope they resolve themselves and when they don't, she goes berserk and destroys everything. Bishamon can't into subtlety or cunning. She relies on Kazuma to navigate her through politics but he can't help her fight heaven itself (or so she thinks).

>Armed with celestial weapons gifted by the deities and decked with divine ornaments, Durga rode into the battle field and challenged the demons for battle. Mahishasura's entire army, led by demons like Chikshur, Chamar, Asiloma, Vidalaksha, Durdhara, Durmukha, Mahahanu and many more, attacked Durga simultaneously. But Durga slew all of them with unparalleled fearlessness. An enraged Mahishasura attacked Durga in the guise of a buffalo. But Durga bound him in this form with ropes. The buffalo then morphed into a lion and leapt on Durga, but she beheaded it with her sword. At this, Mahishasura began to fight with his sword. Durga pinned him down with a torrent of arrows. Mahishasura assumed the form of a giant elephant and tugged at Durga's mount, itself a lion. Durga lopped off the trunk of the elephant with her sword and freed her lion. The elephant turned into a buffalo and charged at Durga. Durga flung her trident and beheaded Mahishasura, finally killing him.

Honestly I refuse to believe that with a shrine and a worshiper (Hiyori) that he needs his dad to survive anymore.

I never thought that there are bigger cunts than Bishamon. Fuck the Heavens, Otou-san was right .God Killer Yato where?

>>150632489
A character-driven story with lots of mythology and pretty art. Some romance. Good comedy, but also very dark themes and it's not afraid to kill off characters. The current arc is godtier (pun intenteded) and very intense.

>>150632973
Is Hiyori even enough? Also, if she dies, that's it for Yato. We don't even know if Father is 100% human since he has lived for centuries. He's much more reliable, like it or not.

>>150632489
A comedy/action story based on Japanese Shinto Gods.

Perhaps unintentionally, its actually a pretty decent satire of real world religion

>>150632973
Thing is, if Hiyori ends up dying of old age or natural causes Yato will end up going with her.

Yatodad is practically immortal so he can effectively rely on him not to just suddenly die.

>>150635388
Hiyori just needs to become a missionary for Yato or a shrine maiden. It should be easy to attract followers once they see some wishes coming true after praying at his shrine.
