Noragami Episode 7 Discussion

Best thing for this anime is to change the main characters to Kofuku & Daikoku and have them misunderstood Yato's death so they go on a rampage against Bishamon. Kofuku vs Bishamon would make a far more interesting battle since Bishamon seems to respect Kofuku a lot and Kofuku's goddamn powerful. Oh and that Kazuma guy should just die already, I hope that lion devours him good! Poor Bishamon doesn't realize there's a fucking traitor among her shinkis.. no wonder she never managed to kill Yato.

As expected Kazuma seems to have a debt he has to pay Yato. I really wonder what it is.

Barion-Zara said:
I wonder if that long haired silver guy with the mask that appeared behind Nora is the same person who is in the scene sitting behind Yato when they show us his past??

Was that really 24 minutes long? Are you sure it wasn't 5 minutes?? Dammit I hate having to wait a week for each episode ;_;

Another amazing episode. We learn what "Nora" really is, Yukine continues to be even more of a brat (stealing disaster relief money? seriously?), Yato's blight is getting even worse, and Kazuma meets up with Hiyori to ask her to protect Yato because Kazuma owes him a great debt. Yato rejects Nora, and that mysterious anime-original character appears. LOL Yato's part-time job. God of Poverty watching over the shop... nothing's gonna go wrong.Not at all. Now I wanna go read the manga! Can't wait for the next episode.

Pretty decent episode, not the best though

Yukio Okumora

That would make sense actually! But if that were the case then Bishamon should know better and wouldn't be going on a rampage every time she meets Yato and wouldn't be hunting him down like that! Right? O.O Because if we assume her Regalia was an evil one, then that Regalia would have affected her the same way Yukine is affecting Yato!!! But even so Yato isn't getting rid of Yukine so probably that's exactly what happened back then with Bishamon!! She didn't want to kill her Regalia but Kazuma was too worried she'd be killed, so he asked Yato for help! Gosh, I don't know if that's how it is but it sounds plausible!! @.@

Yukine-kun, I feel I'm the same as Yato, I can't give up on him! I'm so glad Hiyori got through to Yato and opened his eyes!!! She really is a nice and caring girl! ^^

Seems like Nora is really bringing out the worst in Yato so I'd assume that's the reason he's avoiding her and rejecting her! What's more that guy who was with her also seems suspicious or maybe he was even one of Yato's Regalias back in the days when he was the "real" God of Calamity - meaning killing mercilessly!

i also wonder what kazuma's debt to yato is..

What a disappointment. This anime was at the top of the charts for me, and if he reunited with Nora it would have kept that position. But no, let's forget doing something innovative and exciting. Let's waste yet another episode babying this useless little brat. -> Doesn't cut -> Bitches and whines -> Steals -> Eager to betray Yato at first opportunity. -> Selfish. Doesn't even realize he's killing his onjin. Is revolving the plot around insolent little ingrates the "thing" nowadays?

Seriously Hiyori what the fuck are you doing? I believe Kazuma told you to SAVE Yato, not push him further on his path of destruction, and end the episode worrying about what the fuck you just did.

Would someone like to explain to me what makes Yukine so important? The tragedy of his "previous life" isn't selling to me. You don't get a free douchebag rampage card because of how hard life is.

Hiyori slapping herself - a Japanese motion to motivate and refresh yourself, usually giving yourself the courage to do something you don't regularly do.

If the anime followed what you want (Yato and Nora reunion), I will be very pissed!!! It's not faithful to the manga and will ruin the plot.
I hope that you will be more patient and wait for the further Yukine's development. I think his ignorance will stop by the next episode.

And for the record, many anime adaptions don't follow the original work in verbatim. 11eyes would be a prime example.

Nora isn't loyal to Yato but neither is Yukine. The only difference is that Nora saved Yato last chapter despite having no such obligation, and is at least somewhat of a reliable Regalia for him, unlike Yukine, who selfishly lets his lust and greed erode others, and doesn't do his job due to low self-esteem. I am well aware, as anyone would be after seeing all the marks on her body, that she isn't a particular saintly character. It's also obvious she had something to do with Yato's dark past and has a hidden agenda on her mind. However, at this point I don't even care anymore. Anything is better than this suffocatingly static configuration. Per personal opinion, it would be a much more interesting development if Yato reverted to his former "dark god" self. The last time I checked, the title was ノラガミ (Rogue God) instead of 小僧を育てる方法 (How to raise brats).

the fact that you have to use such a bottom-of-the-barrel shit anime to prove your point is pretty tragic.

get over yourself, if your fanboyness over a single character that only can be described as 'creepy' gets more importance than other important aspects of the show, its your loss.

Yukina is just a brat, it will take time for him to adapt a life as shinki. It doesn't help that his master isn't the one regular shinki can cope with.

Nora isn't trustworthy, you think she saved Yato because she is nice? Hardly. Being a Nora alone should tell much about what kind of character she is. A mere mention of her is enough to disgust someone.

There's something special about Yukine and that's why Yato won't give up on him. Its not easy to get a reliable partner, this is just the phase, Yato and Yukine have to go through before they can actually work together perfectly for a long time.

I have read the manga and Yukine will change into a shinki that is better than Nora ever will.

This is an opinion. Unfortunately, it seems like a certain "catastrophic" weeaboo seems to take it like a kick to their balls.
