Story Impact[]

  • The 26XXth Divine Council takes place.
    • Most shrines are empty during the event.
  • Bishamonten aims to kill Father, who is responsible for Tsuguha's death.
    • She opens the box holding the hafuru-mono and names her Nana, after promising she'd give her a place to die. In doing so, Bishamon has committed an act of high treason.
    • By helping her defend against Heaven's Execution Force and campaigning for a ceasefire, Yato is also considered a rebel.
    • After being defeated by Yato, Takemikazuchi advocates for Heaven to hear out the rebels. He too becomes considered a rebel.
  • As Sekki, Yukine hastily encourages Yato to cut down Bishamon to stop her from killing Father, who is Yato's lifeline. Bishamon survives but remains comatose while recovering from this injury.
  • The Trial by Pledge occurs, which exonerates the rebels.
