| I felt it was a little too hasty execution of Ebisu, but the whole narrative that seems forced, on this event you had to "lose" a little more time, it would be a good opportunity to discuss certain topics, oh well! Let's see how the series ends. |
 |
| It was fun how called 'Public execution' or like the most powerful technique got destroyed by few strikes of Yato's sword.. So Nora left in the Underworld? And that lady is alone again.. :( |
Avenger-senpai said: Something felt kinda off compared to the previous episodes. This scenario has probably just gotten dragged on for too long. That and it seems really iffy that these superior looking gods are all villainized so that they could get their asses kicked by the main cast... Whip > Lighting dragon and Getsuga Tenshou Rend > God Nuke? -_- it's more of Blessed Vessels >>>>>> Lightning dragon. you're talking about the strongest vessel(either him or Nana), he even fodderized royal shinki(name might be wrong, the ones guarding the 7lucky gods at the beginning of arc), and made their chief run in fear. |

| Alone again. Sounds like they tried relating to the weeaboos. |
| Just need to find out how to quote this every time so I can dodge the stupid 30-character limit. |
kitten320 said: So how exactly did Hiyori guess that his name is Yaboku, was there some text trick? Yato = 夜ト Yaboku = 夜卜 The "ト" (katakana, "to") and "卜" (kanji, "boku") look identical. Hiyori noticed this when thinking about the name she carved in his shrine and tried reading his name in a different way. I guess they didn't explain it because it was obvious to Japanese viewers. |

| Quite interesting episode, I really do wonder how they'll end this season! |
 |
| Yaboku huh ... Poor Izanami, being all alone again :( Shouldnt Ebisu be fine after the pacification, since they said it will "miss" if he was pure of heart. (Unless he really wasnt completely pure even with all the phantom recruiting he did) Guess I'll find out in the next and final episode. |

NobleGriffin said: I thought I'd be the only one to say something! You'd think for all the fans of anime and manga somebody would step up... but a lot were probably lazy or didn't see. I'm going to assume this person is otherwise sensible and logical, but calling the language dumb just because it's intricate doesn't work. Every language can be complicated and nonsensical at times. Saying that was just rude.mira-nyan said: Just because you don't know how Japanese language works you called it dumb? Talk about being an uncultured swine. So everything that you don't understand is dumb to you? Clearly you are the dumb one here. It's confusing because you don't study NihongoIt was literally 'show not tell'. She saw that Yato was super happy with the shrine she made for him and even though Yato isn't his real name, she wrote it correctly. Since Japanese is a dumb and confusing language, words can be read different ways. Anyway, this episode was awesome. Even though neither side was truly in the wrong, the resulting action was quite enjoyable. The animation did go downhill, but that can be forgiven. I don't think Yato intentionally dropped Hiiro on the way up.. either way, she's not out of the picture. I still feel bad for Izanami. Loved the reunion of our three. Can't wait to see the finale and get started on the manga! |

andrewanime said: What does Yato's real name mean? In Episode 12 Hiyori calls Yato by his real name for the first time 'Yaboku'. Yato says that if he mentioned his real name to them then they will hate him so obviously this name has some sort of meaning. It means nothing. It was badly worded. He meant that they would hate him for what his name implied = his past and the things he did with Father and Nora/Hiiro. |

| Such a great, epic episode, on a level which alone makes me give this anime a bonus score. I guess I shouldn't have ever underestimated Noragami after all. For a moment I thought Izanami will come up from the Underworld and make everyone fight a common enemy. Then again she maybe can't. |
  |
| It was better than I expected. The best episode of Noragami S2 |
 |
| Holy shit, what a fight! Can't want to see how this clears up. |
| Be sure to message me if you quoted me and want me to respond! Just give me a link to the forum, because usually I leave my comment, then leave the forum. |
| WHAT A GREAT EPISODE?!?!?!?! HOLY SHIT HIS REAL NAME ISN'T YATO?!??!?! But augh, his entire existence is just so suspicious... Anyway! Yato and Yukine just kicks ass so much. And Bishamon is still amazing asf. I'm glad to see Aiha. Aaaaaah, this is too good.. TT^TT |
 set made by tsudecimo ★ i m a d g m t r a s h ★ pnch ★ blc ★ mal rewrite |
| Yaboku? Dude that's one big revelation right there. I did not know Yato was not his real name. Anyway, why would knowing his real name make people avoid him? And how did Hiyori found out about "Yaboku"? is just just some play on words and letters from "Yato"? lol After all that Ebisu's still gonna die? What. |
 |
| So Yato's true name is revealed. Japanese language is really hard to understand, but that's how it works. She wrote Yato's name on the shrine. Even though Yato is not his real name, she wrote it correctly. It read as "Yaboku". What an intense fight! The suspense is real. This anime is just amazing. Oh well, cliffhanger at its finest. |
 |
| When something special happens, they always have to show the surprised face expression of everyone being at the scene, even if one expression should be enough to show to us viewers that something outstanding has happened but that's a general trick used to provide enough screentime i guess ^^ Yaboku - actually when I first heard it, I had to laugh. I was expecting something like 'the dark flame master' but instead we got yaboku. Solid Animation thus far. That's something I'd highlight especially when it comes to fighting scenes. |
 |
| We got to know Yato's real name. Yaboku, huh? Feeling bad for Ebisu... So the next episode is the last one huh -.- |
  |
| did my boy yato just use a getsuga tensho |
| Kono Giorno Giovana Niwa Yume Ga Aru |
| Man its getting more n more Intense, N we got to know "Yato"s real name is Yaboku.. Shit is about happen... but what??! xD |
| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
| lol Did Yaboku just drop Hora when he left? Nukes. Nukes everywhere. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Choki one damn blessed vessel. Ebisu might die the next episode, ending tells us that. |
| Just incredible like Ebisu said I hope he can survive that attack. |
| Ebisu, you better not die, nigguh. You were such a pain in the ass to protect, so do something last minute to survive so you can eat at Olive Tavern .-. Our little Yuki is so strong now :') |
| I was very surprised that Hiyori figured out Yato's true name in such a critical moment o_o" Great job Hiyori! :3 Aww just look at Yato X3 looking at Hiyori and then return laying lazily in her arms. What a cute moment =^w^= |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| What a mistake by creators! Firstly Yato's right leg is bandaged and purple then after the thunder strikes them and Yato gets up, it is his left leg. Was that Yato name problem connected with how japanese people don't know every kanji and forget the old meanings? I can't find this kanji that is written on his temple. two kanji says 夜トa abut the second kanji on temple is written differently but I can't find it even on japanese wiki while searching for 夜. I wonder if anyone knows what is the meaning of this? |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| So Yato's real name is Yaboku! Hiyori saved Yato once again... Where did Hiiro go when Yato is soul called to the mortal world? Yato and Yuki have gotten so powerful, they could rend-cut a magical spell on a sky from the ground! I hope Ebisu could be saved somehow in the next episode. |
  |
| I love how Hiyori subtly hinted that a lot of Japanese characters have vastly different meanings depending on the context in a previous episode when she was trying to do some research on him. I didn't realize that she'd try out that trick until she actually did it though but it made so much sense. That's quick thinking for ya~ The ship's back up. It'd be reasonable to think that Hiiro got left behind because he let go of her at the last second but Izanami commenting on how alone she is again and Kazuma successfully returning with Bishamon despite just being on the floor seconds before she warped back makes me think that Soul Calls also brings back their equips even if they were let go. While the Punishers are only seeking to execute Ebisu, I'm a bit worried about what will happen to everyone else at the scene because of their immediate retaliation against the not-so-heavenly Heavens out of concern for their comrade. Seeing the Blessed Vessels showing their true power against such intimidating foes was great. Too bad he didn't get enough time to move out of the way after gawking at their glory like the viewers like me. |
 |
| Looks like Nora will be the next playing of Izanami, surprised he just let go of her. She certainly deserves it though. |
| My heart omg :((( Yaboku ufhrhejwwiw Hiyori's and Yato's hug T____T |
| owkey |
| a lot of ass-pull and unnecessary shit tired of every single character being reckless and just charging in without any actual fucking plan |
 |
| Yaboku is really the best god amongst all. He can slice that artifact weapon just how strong Yato and Yukine. Great collabs both of them. Now we see god can be a great team in the future of Noragami series. But still this fight just getting to protect. It had a purpose but randomly fight isn't suit with this plot. |
| Once again, Hiyori in a scene where she doesn't need to be.... And Yato and Bishamon coming out of the underworld like that was just weak and uncreative. |
  Arteta's Tricky Reds!   |
| Yato's real name is not Yato huh....and I kinda forgot his real name still tho I like the name Yato better.....and wow Kazuma is really strong not to mention Yukine and Yato slashing off that Pacification ring or whatever its called....ngl that was just awesome...man next episode's the finale...Looking forward to it!! |
| I was expecting Izanami to go crazy after Yato got away, that would have really been a sight to see with the heaven there as well. It's obvious he wouldn't take Yukine with him since he's incredibly soft, he doesn't want to kill anyone, not even when that someone wants to kill Yato, that's why I like Nora so much, just wish she was a bit less extreme. Loved Bishamon this episode as well, but noooo Ebisuuu :( |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Yato wasn't his real name this whole time then. Interesting that he wanted to keep that secret for so long. |
 |
| Blessed Vessels: Casually reaches out and squeezes a dragon made of lightning and cleanly slice through a nuke meant to slay a god. Kazuma and Yukine are OP. Sure would suck if Ebisu died now after all that. |
| Yaboku is his real name? I see... I did not expect him to turn out to be that powerful. Then again, a lot of that strength is Yukine's. |
| Damn what an intense episode |
