Noragami ノラガミ Rewatch: Favorite Character Caps

Noragami + favorite character↦ Bishamonten♔

HOW DETAILED THE BACKGROUNDS ARE 

HOW THE MOVEMENT FLOWS TRASCENDING PANELS MAKING THE ACTION SCENES MUCH MORE FLUID AND INTENSE

HOW THE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS CONVEY SUCH STRONG EMOTIONS

HOW THEY USE SYMBOLISM

HOW EVERYTHING LOOKS GORGEOUS AND BADASS AT THE SAME TIME

Chapter 13: Signs

…isn’t that pretty much the same thing she told you like, I don’t know…centuries ago? 

….and you, just now realized what?? That gods and humans can’t be together because gods are incapable of love…really??? We spent like a whole arc with Bishamon struggling for being near her shinkis…. 

….and like another half arc with her not even knowing if she was finally able to give the right affection to everyone…

…and you Kazuma, how did you behave towards her? You hid her things..and most important your true feelings when you had the chance to try to change the things…how do you expect her to know what you really want from her if you tell her “I adore you” and not “I love you”, if you tell her only “I want to protect you” and not “I need you” too. You did this because you wanted to make her happy? But look at this… 

Since the last arc, there’s a Bishamon’s line that always has been stuck in my mind…

…in chapter 57 she said “there is a limit to how audacious you can be”…she was referring to the fact that Kazuma used a spell on Yukine and he made him their enemy…the situation was different but seeing the last chapter I wonder if Bishamon thinks the same about their relationship: “there’s a limit” a limit he can’t cross. I’m starting to wonder if she realized at some point that his feelings for her were so twisted…if she had at least the little suspect about Kazuma’s feelings true nature and, I wonder if she, having this suspect tried to keep this kind of distance because maybe she arrived at the same conclusion of Kazuma in the last chapter: gods can’t love humans. In the last arc she said “if I would be human I would be able to give proper affection”…maybe she feels like Kazuma feels to her: unworthy. Unworthy because she can’t give him what he truly desire, because maybe she can feel that he, deep down, is unsatisfied of their current relationship, that he wants more from her. But she, not knowing how to handle the situation keeps this limit because maybe she is scared of what could happen if she try to cross it.

Depending on the god you have fallen in love with, the sacrifices you have to do may change. Let’s go back to this panel.

So while I’m aching over the last chapter, I decided to use this time to start assuming around about thing that will make me less sad than I am now.

In the past, I made a post about something interesting I noticed, how Fujisaki’s left eye is colored slightly “blurry” in many places. I gave it in numberous places, but it’s pretty consistant.

But in the last arc, there were two important things that happened that made it quite certain for me he’s blind on his left eye:

This one is a little still tricky. But I felt like he had hard time dodging it because it came from his “blind” direction. Of course, here it’s not obvious enough, but there’s a part where it gets much more obvious:

(notice the blurry eye on the left?)

As a God of war- I believe Bishamon realized that Fujisaki can’t see well on his left side and chose to approach him from that side - his weak spot. It will explain his surprise and panic when she attacked him from the left - he’s defenseless, and it might come handy once Yato has to face him, especially if Bishamon will give him this information, or if Yato will figure it out during a battle. 

It might also be the reason Fujisaki is so eagered to eliminate Bishamon as soon as possible- she figured out his weakness, and a very dangerous one for him.

If Yato’ll indeed join forces with Nana in the end, or with Kazuma who has good analyzing in battle, it might be the core information to win this battle. Also, if Nora did change sides, she might say something about it too and people will make conclusions. Of course- it might be the information we need that we will get from Bishamon once she wakes up. There are many routes for this information to be revealed.

Of course, might be related to Tsukuyomi’s theory too (Izanagi washing his eyes, Tsukuyomi being born out of it), or to any other relevant plot point and father’s origins, but this is it for now.

…anyway small Bisha is so cute that I almost forgot she is a ferocious war god who has almost wiped out the entire Heaven’s army
