Yatagarasu (ヤタガラス Yatagarasu?) 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 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.[1]
Synopsis[]
Heaven Arc[]
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.[2] When Shinatsuhiko and Sakuya-bime, among other gods present, use Seize 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.[1] Later, when Takemikazuchi appeals to Heaven's subjugation forces, Yatagarasu speculates on his intentions, questioning whether he simply wishes to save Bishamon's life.[3]
Ooharai Arc[]
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.[4]

Final Arc[]
Shortly their altercation with Father, Yatagarasu (along with Shinatsuhiko and Kagutsuchi) are shown to have reincarnated. Arahabaki, Mayu, and Kiun discover Okuninushi holding the three newly reincarnated gods. Notably, Yatagarasu is in the form of a small, three-legged crow.[5]
