Yatagarasu

Yatagarasu (ヤタガラス) is the three-legged crow god. He is one of the gods summoned by Heaven to subjugate Bishamon and the Crafter.

Appearance
Yatagarasu is a man of unknown age. He has straight, messy black hair which falls over his crow mask. He has two large pairs of black wings.

Personality
Yatagarasu has a level-headed, quiet personality. He also seems to have a more compassionate moral code concerning the subjugation of enemies, seeing as he considers certain methods overly cruel despite many other gods deeming it appropriate to use.

Volume 16 (63)
Chapter 63: He is first introduced while Shinatsuhiko organizes a sequence of attacks against Bishamon. Yatagarasu sends a flock of crows to pick at Bishamon's body and divine garments while she lies on the ground, injured.

Volume 17 (64)
Chapter 64: When Shinatsuhiko and Sakuya-bime, among other gods present, use Arrest to trap Bishamon, Yatagarasu does not join in to assist. He expresses distaste for how brutal they are being against a former comrade, Bishamon; he also complains that they had enacted the spell without proper warning, endangering him and their other comrades nearby. When Bishamon suddenly breaks out of the spell's hold, he is quick enough to dodge the resulting shockwave. This may suggest that his reflexes are faster or his observation skills are higher than other gods, since he was the only one shown to doge the effects of the spell.

Volume 18 (69)
Chapter 69: When Takemikazuchi appeals to Heaven's subjugation forces, Yatagarasu speculates on his intentions, questioning whether he simply wishes to save Bishamon's life.

Volume 25 (97 - 98)
Chapter 97: Yatagarasu searches in the form of a three-legged crow for Shinatsuhiko, Kagutsuchi, and Ōkuninushi, who were sent to subjugate the Crafter. Seeing the state of the situation and their injuries, he asks if they're alright. Kagutsuchi tells him that they were each hit by the Crafter, that they failed to kill him, and that they must hurry to protect Amaterasu.

Chapter 98: [TBA]
