Rabō (蠃蚌), is one of the upcoming main antagonists of the Noragami series. Not much is known about him, only that he is a God of Calamity like Yato. He is featured only in the anime series. Nora is one of his Shinki, her name is Reiki.

Appearance

Rabou's Anime Design

Rabou is quite tall, with long silver/grey hair and bright yellow eyes similar to a hawks. He wears baggy clothing and carries a sword on his back. His clothing is that of a warrior. He also wears some kind of mask over his left eye. The insignia is similar to that of Nora's.

Personality

Rabō appears to be a cautious and careful character. He carefully gauges an enemy's strength and abilities before he will personally engage in combat. He enjoys letting himself get seen very briefly, as to hint to his presence and put his target on edge. He is also a cold character, killing humans, phantoms and gods alike (regardless of whether it's a paid job or a personal grudge).

History

Rabō was originally a human, however he was reborn as a god after evil wishes were made upon his death, so that he may kill again. He is a God of Misfortune, and it is known that he used to take up jobs of killing phantoms, humans and even other gods. He has awoken to fill his original position, by taking up murder requests. He also used to work with Yato to kill.

Abilities

Most of his abilities are currently unknown.

Teleportation: Like most gods, he is able to teleport from different places in order to complete his objectives quicker. He is however, able to teleport much quicker than Yato.

Summoning and Storing Phantoms: It appears that he is able to capture a number of different phantoms and store them in a jar-like object, to which he can easily release again.

Water Manipulation: Rabo was able to manipulate water and attack Yato. however, this may be an ability from his Shinki, Reiki.

Hypnosis: During his fight with Yato that he is capable of hypnotising his opponent. This was presented when he kept on saying "remember" to Yato; it almost seemed like Yato was falling unconscious until Yukine shouted Yato's name.

Trivia

• Rabō is an original anime character, therefore he was created just for the anime adaption.
• There have been many misconceptions that Rabō is actually Kugaha, Bishamontens shinki, however this is not the case.
