Story Impact

 * Yato, Hiyori Iki, and Yukine are introduced.

Adaptation Notes

 * The majority of Episode 4 adapts material that is not part of the main story of the manga. Rather, it is adapted from Noragami Shuuishuu Chapter 1.
 * In the manga, when Kuraha bites Yato, Yukine (Sekki) moves on his own to injure Kuraha's eye. In the anime, Nora uses Bind to restrain Kuraha. Yato then escapes his jaw and cuts Kuraha's eye using Sekki.
