| I'm uncertain of what my reasons are but I REAAAAALY want Yato to be an antagonist and use Nora. It looks like they sync well together from what I've seen at the last few secs of the episode, but there was an incident back then that Yato wasn't in fond of, which made him stop using her. I'm very excited to see how badass Nora looks like as a regalia. |

| Damn, such great action packed episode. Bishamonten's Regalia weapons are freaking dangerous and Yato keeps getting pounded by her attacks. At least it explains about Yato killing a Regalia in the past and she wants revenge about that. Got a bit of a slow down for Yato because of his emotions linked up with Yukine. And Kofuku saves the day, though a dangerous attack, in a cute destructive way XD. Looks like it's not going to work out between Yukine and Yato, here comes Nora for her advice... |

| anime with cute girls is my thing. |
| That was intense. Much better than phantom fights. Can't wait for next week! Yukine was annoying this episode. hopefully he'll get his shit together next episode. |

(in the manga...) yukine is really awesome i don't think that yato could abandon such an awesome regalia. AkuNoKawaiiUsagi said: Glad I read the manga though. Or else, I would've ranted about how stupid and jerkish Yukine is. Oncoming feels (end of Yukine arc T^T) and romance (hope they animate the romance)... *ehem* CAN YOU PLEASE NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS EPISODE??? IT IS REALLY ANNOYING TO READ ANYTHING RELATED TO THE MANGA!!! CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS THE ANIME DISCUSSION THREAD, NOT THE MANGA ONE?!! That aside, the episode was great! Yukine's eyes were so creepy!!! I still believe he will realize that what he's currently doing is really bad!!! I still like him a lot!!! ^^ Plus I don't think he's to be blamed for not understanding what an impact his mental state has on Yato because Yato never explained it to him properly!! >.< Not that I hate Yato! ^^ It's one of those animes where all the main characters are really likable! ; ) Hiyori understands Yukine so much that she's willing to lie for his sake! I am expecting a conversation or at all something between these two! Hopefully, this will open up Yukine's eyes!!! The fighting scenes were awesome!!! @.@ Bishamon is so scary!!! A real badass, though!!! She seems unstoppable with so many Regalias, wow!!!! But I'm really curious to know why Yato killed her Regalia!!! O___O I bet Kofusu is as powerful of a God as silly she looks!!! >:OO Can't wait to see more of that side of her!!! ^^ Kazuma bowing to Yato made me feel like he used to be connected to him somehow, wonder if he also was his previous Regalia!!! Barion-Zara said: I believe you're right about it!! Kazuma seems awesome though. Loved how he bowed to Yato at the end. That really raised my curiosity quite a lot. There seems to be something Veena doesn't know only Kazuma does. Nora, Nora, who are you, Nora?? And more precisely what exactly are you to Yato....you seem to care about him way too much, it's getting suspicious!!! =__=''' |
| Best episode yet, lots of action. |
 |
| Nice episode, quite a bit of action. Yukine needs to snap out of it ASAP, his emo blues goes on my nerves. Hiyori so cute. |
| I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl |
| Yato and Yukine needs to fix things up between them. If they doesn't feel comfortable with each other then Yato can't fight. |
| Oh damn Bishamon. Whoa dat arsenal. A whip, sword, gun, navigator, lion and maybe some type of armor/cloth? No wonder she is The God of War. So Yato and his regalia Nora killed one of Bishamon's regalia? Thus Nora became evil? I hope to find out soon. Does Yato and Yukine have a heart to heart conversation later on or soon. I think Yukine doesn't understand Yato's action. Same with Yato with Yukine. But does Yato's blight go away once Yukine and him are in better terms and in sync ( awesome and bad***) Does Yukine have the power to dispel evil or something?? |
| Nice episode. Yukines evil Eyes when he decided to steal the skate board... And Yato finally doing some serious fighting. I like it. |
| This was another great episode! Plus, we finally got introduced to Bishamon! I've always wondered who she was, ever since she appeared in the opening. The action scene was also intense, cutting bullets in half doesn't happen nearly enough in anime! Plus, it was nice to see Nora again, even though we don't know who she is, I hope they reveal more about her in the coming episodes! (But considering the show is called NORAgami, they most certainly will) |
| now i want to know more about Nora.... |
| Awesome. Absolutely awesome. Yato and Bishamon's fight was pretty cool. Hiyori covering for Yukine saying she bought the skateboard.. wonder why.. Maybe she still doesn't trust him.. for one reason or another. Hiyori was so cute <3 Yato having troubles with Yukine. LOL Kofuku, jumping into the fight like that. Nora saving Yato when Kuraha bit Yato And her offering herself to Yato as replacement for Yukine.. Hm, curious about the story of Kazuma. Maybe there's some sort of connection between Kazuma and Yato? |

AkuNoKawaiiUsagi said: Wow. WOW. This is an action-packed episode. I love seeing badass Kofuku, such a cutie. Everyone's gonna start hating Yukine from this episode on ^^ Nora, Nora's giving off yandere vibes again... Did you guys see Kazuma bowing down to Yato at the end of the battle? Oh... and I can't believe Hiyori lied in front of scary Yato. Maybe Hiyori doesn't trust Yato at all. Yato's getting more and more intriguing while Yukine's... UGH. He's a plain jerk this episode. I wouldn't say Hiyori doesn't trust Yato per say but rather she doesn't want Yukine to get into too much trouble. Remember last episode Yato said only humans are good and bad and its up to gods to pass judgement. She didn't want Yukine to get in trouble because he stole. and yes Nora seems very Yandere. |
| Aah really that Bishamon is all like 'How dare you" but well he has to defend himself.... Also Yukine is being annoying but don't really dislike him that much somehow... for now... But great episode! |

| Definitely Anime of the Season. Yukineeeeeeee. I love you and you're adorable but GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER. |
"Komugi, are you there?" |
| Pretty damn intense.I want more, the episode went by so fast ;_; Yukine...he just have to understand some things.I think its matter of time until he becomes a strong regalia.Yato has to explain him everything, like why did he really kill Bishamon's regalia. Kofuku is awesome xD also, Nora is yet another interesting character.Everyone has to agree, that this show has some awesome and mysterious characters you want to know more about. Anyways, i cannot wait until next episode.Im really hyped now. |
 |
| Yukine was more annoying than usual this episode. I commend Yato's patience, if I was him I'd just have whipped out Nora. She looks shady but at least she's reliable and wouldn't give him soul pains. Probably. |
| The fight was great. Bishamon is a very dynamic fighter, makes you see how resourceful Yato is in a pinch. That slice on Kuraha was awesome, but obviously he was lucky Nora was there. Kazuma is certainly interesting with his out of place bow. I was thinking since he's a tracker he would notice Hiyori, and it looks like he did from the preview. Kofuku opening the vent and then realizing that was bad was hilarious. Had "blight" been mentioned before now? I feel like it has but I don't remember an explanation on how a regalia's thoughts/actions effect the god. |
 |
| Yukine is going to feel like a real asshole when he finds out what he's doing to Yato Nora seems really interesting. I want to know what's up with her and Yato Bishamon seems really blind with revenge. There must be an explanation since Kazuma has no source of hatred for Yato |
| Damn. Great episode and fight. I know Yato has to be lying to Yukine about why he killed Bishamon's Regalia. Kazuma is suspicious because he harbors no hate for Yato and almost seems remorseful. Yukine needs to man up because he's really hurting Yato but I understand his feelings because Yato isn't telling him everything. This anime is getting good. Kofuku is such a cutie. |

| Here comes Kofuku to save Yato's butt. Why is Yukine being so whiny, kinda annoying tbh. |
My Candies:     |
| Nora is quite a mysterious regalia |
| I made this because Kofuku is so incredibly cute I could watch it all day. |
TheTwinGardeners said: Wow, what did the nora use on Kuraha? It's something I think shinki can do to each other, though I don't know if it was explained how it works. But basically it's you can restrain them by saying the name of the shinki and "restraint," or something like that. AlexTheRiot said: Had "blight" been mentioned before now? I feel like it has but I don't remember an explanation on how a regalia's thoughts/actions effect the god. I'm pretty sure it has been explained. It's basically negative thoughts/feelings/guilty action from a shinki "pricks" the god the shinki is connected to. Too much can cause bruises (or something like that) to the god and it affects their overall well-being too. Yukine's negative thoughts and his actions have been pricking Yato too much and that's why he was out of shape in this episode. Yay we get to see Kazuma! Love that guy. Him bowing to Yato really is mysterious, one can only wonder what happened in the past between the two gods since Bishamon has a grudge against Yato for killing her shinki yet Kazuma seems to feel otherwise. |
| finally got some good action in this episode, and i just now realized that nora is in the title noragami, i was probably the last one to realize this... |
| Wanna listen to some good OP/ED songs? Head over to my profile! |
| my worries have been put to rest but a new problem has unfolded god danmit Yukine was totally cool with ya up to this point not sure about the manga but stepping on Hyrioi's kindness is a dickmove! prey he gets his act together soon. also my money is on Nora being the regalia Yato used to kill Bishamon's regalia thus ending their contract because she was to evil/dangerous would explain all those markings and tailsmans on her |
 |
| Bishamon is such a badass. She has got some many Shinki. Yato put up a good fight against her. Lol at Kofku opening up a vent and generating a storm to stop the fight. |
"I’ve set myself to become the King of the Pirates…and if I die trying…then at least I tried!" Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) |
| Nice action packed episode. And Yato can also kick some ass. But I really admire Bishamon. Lots of weapons, huh. |
| Hmm... I wished they showed a little more of Yukine's evil deeds in the manga. With what's introduced in the anime the blight on Yato's neck seems rather sudden and unexpectedly serious for so little (comparatively) being done. Heck at this rate every God would be carrying blights everywhere they go. Still, really enjoyable episode, smooth animation as usual |
| *insert subjectively witty comment* |
| So can Nora control other spirits? Great episode!!! |
 |
| Another excellent episode the struggle between Yato and Bishamon was incredible but a part of the story was revealed lack yet know much about Nora but everything has been on a spectacular progress development both in plot and in characters has been great .. ________ Mais um excelente episódio a luta entre Yato e Bishamon estava incrível mas umas parte da historia foi revelada ainda falta saber muito sobre Nora mas tudo tem estado em um andamento espetacular o desenvolvimento tanto em enredo, quanto em personagens tem sido ótimos .. |
  |
| oh man Yukine does need to get his act together poor yato and as for Hiyori she is sooo freaking annoying I wish she would just go and die that would make this show my favorite of all time ^^ -evil smile- |
 |
Barion-Zara said: Also who or WHAT the hell is Nora?? The way she controlled Kuraha was awesome. And she's trying to go back to Yato. I said these EXACT same words out loud. XD And... WHY DOES KAZUMA LOOK LIKE YUKIO FROM AO NO EXORCIST? T.T |
| "Aiming for the mark takes precision, balance, and patience." ....Screw that, let's shoot the damn thing! |
tingy said: I just meant the actual term "blight". We know about the stinging, but I didn't think it had ever been explained beyond that. Now we know it's a phenomenon that can build up and actually seriously affect the god in some way. I just felt like I'd heart blight being mentioned at some point.AlexTheRiot said: Had "blight" been mentioned before now? I feel like it has but I don't remember an explanation on how a regalia's thoughts/actions effect the god. I'm pretty sure it has been explained.

| 5 more episodes left, meh. It is probably going to end up generic or inconclusive |

| Yukine was annoying but oh well...adolescence. Bishamon's hot and with an awesome VA too :o I can't wait for another week so I'm just going to read the manga now haha ^^ |

| NIce episode, wish to know more about nora? |
 |
| Nora be creepin... SoraLover1994 said: And... WHY DOES KAZUMA LOOK LIKE YUKIO FROM AO NO EXORCIST? T.T Same seiyuu to boot |
| Good episode love Yato! Can anyone tell what she meant by blight and how Yukine is a burden to Yato??? |
 |
ScazoN said: Good episode love Yato! Can anyone tell what she meant by blight and how Yukine is a burden to Yato??? Not sure but Yukine is being burden to Yato because when Yukine succumbs to temptation, Yato is being somehow "punish". I think it is related to the red spots on the back of his neck. |
 |
| I love Nora. She's always looking out for Yato, and is the only one in the cast that seemingly cares about him. It's looking like her turn to shine next episode. This series will indisputably be BATS (Best Anime This Season) if he ends up with Nora. |
