I love the fact that Yato has fulfilled his promise and now he's trying to become the god of fortune, who know what's in front of him.

I dont care what ya'll think. Nora was there for him from day one. You don't just find new friends and kick her to the curb. He said she never changed, but he never tried to change her lol. I don't think yato ever cared about her, he never seemed bothered if she got out of the underworld. I was looking to see if she made it out, but i couldn't tell till this episode.


She was also manipulative and abusive af. He should have released her way sooner. Anyways, Yato did care about her, that's why he was never able to stand up to her until now.

Hoping for a season 3 to explain his father

Also, don't get how his father got the brush when ebisu had it with him til the end -.-

It went missing after his death and that's when Fujisaki got it.

Glad I stayed up for this ep. It tied the entire season up nicely.

The first few seconds of the ep made me feel lost, until kid Ebisu came up and I knew :( Ebisu's passing was extremely tragic, but I'm a big fan of kid Ebisu. I mean, he offered a yen note to Kuraha, who is a lion?? Doesn't get much cuter than that. Also happy with Yato's character development after Ebisu's influence. Less a helpless little thing now, as is Yukine. Yuki Kaji is starting to sound less like Yukine and more like Eren, especially at the end. I just had to smile. :)

I feel really bad for Nora. Manipulativeness and cruelty aside, her only real mistake is that she does exactly as she's told, while Yato has too much of a heart. Shouldn't Nora be the ex-human? Something seems wrong here. I also wonder if it's really possible for a God of Calamity to switch roles to God of Fortune. Sounds kinda ridiculous atm but we'll see how it goes.

Ebisu arc is my favourite arc of the two seasons and I definitely enjoyed this season more than the first. 9/10.

Track suit is back!

I really liked the first season but I absolutely LOVED this season. I really hope there will be another season in the future.

Glad he cut ties with Nora finally. I want more on trash dad. He's a bastard but I want to see more. More Yato X Hiyori is always welcome. Yukine had great development this season.

Anime of the season for me with excellent OP and ED as well.

Loved it, can't believe the season 2 would be this good. This is one of the rare shows where we dont find people say that season 1 was better and other stuffs.

Ebisu calling Bishamon crazy chick was hillarious and blasting Ebisu while dying was just unexpected, too much gore.

I want to see Yato become more powerful and yeah that ending.

Season 2 gave us some new confusions and questions, answers of which we hope could find in next season.

Meh, this episode was kind of bad. Extremely anti-climatic, and not good enough to be a setup for 3rd season.

Overall, I feel this season was quite worse than 1st one. Still a decent watch, but was hoping for more.

Between 5 and 6 for me, but gave 5 because of the last episode. Hoping they'll ramp it up in the 3rd season.

Before anything...... OH MY GOD BABY EBISU <3 Yato looked like his father, so damn adorable!

Anyways, I´m really glad that he reincarnated. Still, his death... ;_;

I love Yato even more, now! Such a great resolution! I now need a third season... I think it´s going to happen. After all, we gotta know more about Fujisaki.

Nice ending and overall good season, which I'd say ended up being slightly better than the first one. Not much to say other than the ost being fantastic.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

I'm actually glad they added Yato in Ebisu's death scene because it added more weight and I felt like crying lol. Also, Yato and Yukine's growth is so awesome I can't even.

I still can't believe they had the guts to add the Father scene at the end but didn't have some sequel announcement maaan, hope the BD's sells well so S3 is possible. 8/10 thank you Bones

Nice episode, bit sad to see Yato's efforts wasted in the end, when Ebisu died.

Well, hopefully Yukine, Hiyori, and Yato can stick together forever, lol.

Also, don't get how his father got the brush when ebisu had it with him til the end -.-


In the manga, Fujisaki is revealed to be Father when he appears next to Nora after Ebisu's execution. When Bishamon, Tenjin and co. are talking, they say that they went back for the brush but that they didn't find it, and since Heaven doesn't know, about the existence of the brushes, it's likely that the real sorcerer (Father) got it.

That bastard will be the first arc of s3 i guess, just like in s2 first 7 eps were for bisha then ebisu, and then some other enemy comes too.This guy also lives thug life.He stole a brush and a nora for himself.

Let's hope s3 really is confirmed and it's soon.

That was an aweosme episode despite the changes, they kept the Ebisu calling Bishamon by the wrong name scene and it's all I care about tbh. For the season for an obvious bias I enjoyed the first half more than the second one but in the end this season was 10x better than the first one because of both halves. Overall a solid 9 from me and I'm so glad that the anime I anticipated most of the lineup didn't disappoint at all.



Overall it was a really fun ride for me and I wish for a season 3 sometime down the road but the current arc might take a while to end so we will see :)

Season 2 was nice really enjoyed it...loads of cliffhangers though made every week feel like forever!

I am so glad that Nora got finally kicked out!! Oh my god 'we ve always been together you cant do this..Yaboku!' 'Nah bitch I am Yato' !!! Awesome

Did not see the plot twist in the end coming at all! I havent read the manga but i have just started it cause this anime is so awesome i need to know wht happens.

Cant believe Fujisaki is Yato's "father" ? And what the hell that bastard stole Hiyori's first kiss :@ that belongs to yato how dare u! makes me so angry lol

Cant wait for season 3 !!!

I wish I hadn't read the manga after the 1st season...

I really didn't like how they handled Ebisu's death and aftermath... why did they even change the order of things?
I think with the manga, the scenes this episode were much more painful and some hilarious moments were skipped too...
I was really looking forward to Yukine coughing up blood cause Yato was kidnapping Ebisu... although it's a silly scene

Well, really enjoyable season, and it was a pretty good adaptation despite what other "manga readers" say, I also don't agree 100% with the changes, especially the fact that they cutted out the supposed "amaterasu", sure it was not relevant until now in the manga but why take the risk?

Anyway looking foward to a 3rd season :)

I enjoyed the series, but I'm not a fan of changing the original even at the expense of whether the changes have a plus or a minus. I understand they wanted add more drama, but the manga also had.
Its generally work out well but could be better 8/10

Little Ebisu is pretty cute there.
So nice to see Yato keep his promise and take Ebisu to the Olive Tavern.
Lol Crazy Chick.
Hiiro somehow made it from the Underworld. Yato saying goodbye for good for the time being releasing her of her name.
Great way to end the series with Yato, Yukine and Hiyori.
Looks like Fujisaki has the brush and will be trouble in the future.
After that ending I hope we get a season 03.
Overall 10/10. Loved it and a great improvement over season 01.

Ebisu's dead is all it took to push Yato over the edge and finally announce his godly change.

He released Nora... FINALLY!!!

So the bastard that kissed Hiyori was actually Father. The sneaky SOB!

I cannot wait until season three!

Ah, well. They put two important parts together (Yato releasing Hiiro and Yukine motivating Yato). I was annoyed at first, but they did it pretty well at least. Though it was cute when Yato found out that Yukine (and Hiyori?) had followed him in the manga.

I'm glad they included the reveal of Father. That was a nice touch. I was expecting them to just kind of ignore him for now since Yukine and Hiyori don't question the mentions of Father between Yato and Hiiro. I don't remember the whole reveal of Ebisu being framed happening at this point, but whatever. Not too big of a difference, I think.

The following spoils the next arc a bit, so if you're not reading the manga, you probably shouldn't read this part:


And I'm glad that they included the Yato/reincarnated Ebisu scene. That was perfect. I almost thought they were skipping the whole "bring your dad along next time," but they didn't. That made it much better and much more bittersweet. It is different that Yato was there in Ebisu's final moments and they don't show Yato waking up in the recovery room, but I'll overlook it. They also didn't include the girl that told them about the name calling thing.

Oh right. They missed the scene where Father picks Hiiro up from the Underworld. That's how she got out for those who don't know.

I'd say this season was well done. I enjoyed it a lot and even started to read the manga again. But ugh, Yato's eyes are just beautiful in the anime. As usual.
