Noragami: That Freckled Girl!

Alright, so I noticed something when I was rereading the underworld arc and then chapter 60 raised my suspicions again. Fujisaki seemed to just be an evil human roaming around in different bodies who was being a creeper by running after Hiyori and he was terrible for tormenting Yato. But Adachi Toka's manga Noragami plays around with the meaning of good and evil. So, Fujisaki may just be a character trying to take revenge on someone. Why? That freckled girl. How many of you know what I'm talking about? The first time she was mentioned was in the Underworld arc when Izanami was telling Yato and Ebisu about the first brush.

Izanami mentions that someone took the brush before, Yato instantly thinks his dad. There's no proof for this though. Izanami continues to explain that the person who took the previous brush saw a freckled girl while looking at Izanami. Remembering that people see the person most important to them in Izanami, this could be Fujisaki's first weakness spotted. But we still can't prove that it was Yato's father.

And then Mizuchi (That is Nora, I stopped calling her Hiiro cause technically she isn't Hiiro any more) confirms our suspicions by saying that Father did come down to Yomi to take the first brush and that he only succeeded after someone call his name. Given what we know about father, who would call his name, a human on top of that (Hinting at the freckled girl on the sidelines)?  We also see the freckled girl that he saw on Izanami slightly.

Last but not least, in chapter 60, when Bishamon confronts Fujisaki, he calls her a 'mere god', I mean who calls a god a mere god? Well evidently Fujisaki. But if you noticed, he seems to hate all gods, even Yato, which we see from the abuse towards Yato revealed in the chapter. What could cause a human to hate a God? Then he seems to explain, but as we see him explain his hate we see him holding that freckled girl, she looked dead too, and crying and screaming. What is going on? Who is that freckled girl? What is her relationship with father? How can we use her against him? What happened? For some reason, it seems, the fate of Noragami lays in the hands of a dead character's identity. I feel if we discover who this freckled girl is, we'll be able to solve all the problems.

Noragami: Yato's Different Versions

So then I realized while re-reading and re-watching 'Noragami', Yato tends to have as many behavioural changes as a Multiple Personality Disorder Patient. So here, I shall be discussing his different versions to express my different views and what not. Moving on, the first personality I'll be discussing will be the first one that we saw.

1) Yato: The Delivery God

Yes, our lovable and adorable Delivery God who is the cutest, jobless bum in the world. Who wouldn't fall for his charm? The moment I saw his eyes, I was a goner. This guy is ridiculous, has no shame, gets trampled upon for his imperfections all the time and he really does act weird but lovably. I mean who can resist this guy?

2) Yato: The Hiyori-Obsessed God

Yes, we all saw this stage, when Yato went completely Hiyori crazy when he thought Hiyori would forget him. He stalked her on foot, by phone, by air, by tree, you name it. But then recently we came across the point where he goes crazy after being separated from her and he even wears her clothes, eats her letters and thinks that Yukine is her. I know...insane, but cute.

3) Yato: Messed-Up Past and Tortured God

We didn't get to see much of this guy in the anime, but in the manga, he's friggin rampant and it makes my heart bleed and cry when I see him like this. I think the only time we saw him in the anime was during the non-existent Rabo arc and Hiyori lost her memories of him, even then it wasn't that serious. If you see a cying Yato wouldn't you want to hug him? Because I definitely wanted to. It really makes me dislike people who regard him as a complete douche and haven't see this side of him yet.

4) Yato: The God of Fortune

We haven't seen this guy much, he just recently became a god of fortune thanks to Hiyori giving him a shrine and Yukine training him and his own incessant begging to the heavens. At first, Yato was just wanting to be a recognized God and have followers but then after coming back from the underworld, he understood the meaning of being a God for others happiness.

5) Yato: The Magatsukami or The God of Calamity

Oh yes, this identity that Yato has been trying to hide for so long. For real? Yes, Yato, or should I say, Yaboku was a real fierce and bloody God of Calamity who was not afraid of killing at all. In the anime, we thought that we knew him, but we didn't in the slightest. This god has such a dark reputation, the very mention of the 'Magatsukami' brought shivers up people's spines.

6) Yato: The Insane Wacko God

Let's end this with one of Yato's positive personalities. We see this guy everywhere and pretty much all the time, although I often felt like he wasn't portrayed well enough in the anime. Well, that doesn't really matter. This guy can be really, really, really obnoxious, but he's really cute and adorable in his own way and no matter how ridiculous he can be, you will always love him in the end.

That will be all, my lovely Yatoites!
