When Daikoku turned into a fan I thought, "What can this do?", and then it made that storm. And now I'm bowing down to their greatness.

I really liked the episode, damn I hope they'll make a second seaosn at some point in the future *throws 5 yen coin in every direction*.

Bishamon is badass, her Regalia's are awesome and I kinda like her :) I do wonder how Yato would've fought back if Yukine wouldn't have struggled so much/if he wasn't weakened from his constant stings. Since she's been hunting for a long time he must've had some epic fights with her in the past.

I wonder how the blights (right?) are going to go away since they can't be cleansed like the other time when that monster bit him.

Very curious about Nora too, why does she have so many names? Is that even possible? I'd think a Regalia would be bound to 1 master but guess she proves that wrong. I do think/almost know for sure that she's the Regalia that Yato used when he was acting like a real "God of Calamity" and why he's refusing to call her name now. I hope they'll get the time to explain exactly what made him change and why he is such a care free/happy go lucky type of guy/god now, must've been something really big or important.

Noragami translates as "Stray Gods" in English and in the manga version, Nora is being called "stray" so I think she doesn't really play that much of a big role other than being the infamous shinki of the protagonist. (And final boss, maybe.)

Great episode.

Bishamon was awesome and their fight was intense. Loving the way she utilizes her Regalia.
Kofuku's intervention was as powerful as it was funny!
And Nora was as intriguing as ever.

On top of that, the OST never ceases to amaze me. Cannot wait for February 19.

Really excited for the next episode, especially for what Kazuma has to say. He seemed to know Yato quite well and even respect him.

Easily my personal favourite anime this season.

Screw Yukine.. wish the author kept that hot chick from 1st episode as Yato's regalia.

I'm actually more interested as to why Bishamon has such respect towards a God of poverty like Kofuku.

Kofuku's by far the best and the most interesting character in this anime.. well having Aki Toyosaki as her seiyuu helps a lot I guess ^_^

That battle was epic! This series is getting better and better.

I'm really getting annoyed by Yukine. She's acting like a girl. Hiyori is manlier than him. Well, I guess he's a kid so...

Holy shit Bishamon. That is some OP character. She has like 10000 regalias. Not to mention all of them is freaking strong.

So FukuJun is in here too. Dang, now that I've seen it that's some all-star seiyuu line up. Bones sure isn't holding back. Thank you Bones! That was an awesome action packed episode.

So Yato is a god of calamity. No wonder Hiyori got into an accident when she saw him.

Kofuku is so awesome. What a character to balance things out.

I wonder why is Hiyori blushing when she's trying to remember Yato's smell. :)

But the real highlight of this episode for me is Nora. She stopped the fuckin Lion with just a word. HOW OP IS THAT?! I'm really interested about her character. Yato should just use her. I wonder why isn't she using her except for having a twisted personality.

Kazama is also an interesting character.

Can't wait for more!

He's injured. If Yukine is tempted by something, Yato gets punished with miasma that taints his body.

This show is a great example of how it's possible to have an on-going, engaging story with nice action while simultaneously developing the characters involved without the use of extended flashbacks and long, internal monologues. This is some fine writing here, and it's of the kind not commonly found in anime.

Really good episode, as usual.

That Kazuma guy really looks similar to Yukio from Ao no Exorcist, only without moles. Funny enough, both characters' voice done by Jun Fukuyama. I did assumed him as Yukio LOL.

this, the writing just got into overdrive to god tier on this ep.

Kofuku's power and Bishamon going all '-dono' on her was unexpected (with a side of hilarious obviously).

@ people saying that they dont get good vibes from Nora: THAT'S THE POINT.

Wow, just wow. This show really does story-telling the right way. Slowly raising questions about Yato's past. Making the connection between Hiyoori and other phantoms saying "you smell nice" and how it helped her find Yato. The grim prospect of what happens to a god that gets overly tainted. Why did Kazuma (Bishamon's shinki) bow to Yato? What's the deal with Nora?

Everything happens for a reason and there's so many interesting plot points to be covered. Ahhh, it's so good!

I say it again and again, but the balance between the seriousness and humor is impeccable. They both fit on like a warm, soft glove. Can't wait for more!

Another fantastic episode. The action scenes were very intense and the story-telling is God-tier. An excellent mix of seriousness and humor while retaining maximum interest in the story from the readers. Kazuma's bowing to Yato was interesting, looking forward to knowing more about that (well, I know the reason but I'm looking forward to it being explained in the anime). Apparently Nora can restrain other shinkis? She's probably the one who Yato used to kill Bishamon's shinki. Yukine's a real brat, when he realizes what he's been doing to Yato he better straighten out.

LOL Kofuku, stopping the fight like a boss. She's so cute. All-around excellent, I can't wait for the next episode!

It looks like Yato and Bishomon have some deeper history together than just him killing one of her Regalia based on the last thing she said to him as well as the bow the male Regalia gave to Yato. I hope we'll learn more about their relationship because it seems pretty interesting.

Also hope to see more of Nora. As of right now, I'm getting the sense that she's one of those weapons that are forbidden to use because it's too powerful.

On a side note, wonder how the tension between Yuki and Yato will play out.

Okay, Yukine was just being an asshole/drama queen this episode. So annoying.

Bishamon is OP. Her CLOTHES are Regalia? Like what the shit. Dat outfit too, Yato nailed it spot on. Haha.

I don't see why Yato would ever abandon Nora. She just bound the lion Regalia with a simple incantation and a flick of her wrist. While Yukine is causing Yato to blight and it's not healing.

Kofuku's ability is...strange. Isn't that counterproductive of what gods do? Making MORE Phantoms appears seems like a pretty bad thing.

yes it may seem the nora is good but you will see later in the story that it changes (based on the manga)
kofuku ability is to cause disasters ... idk why just the way it is.
yes Bishamon is OP.
yukine is fucking awesome much better than nora anyways that is the main reason yato-san hasn't done anything yet.
yes yukine is being a dick(to yato.) kinda but he will get some punishment.

Whoop! Finally some plot development.
It's kind of funny seeing people bash on Yukine. Yeah, he's being a brat, but he's a kid going through some stuff. (Anyways he did more and worse in the manga).

I am a bit worried that the series is halfway over and there's still some stuff to get through

Point being, there's far too much that needs to be covered in the short amount of time and not enough episodes given.
