The god with nothing to lose finally stops running from what he actually is. Bishamon's vendetta breaks open to reveal the real ugliness underneath, and Yato has to decide if saving someone means staying broken yourself. By the time you understand what Nora represents, the show has already yanked the ground out from under every choice he made before.

Yato's life as a minor god remains hilariously pathetic. He's penniless, shrine-less, and his sword-companion Yukine treats him with constant disdain. Just when survival seems manageable, Bishamon arrives with vengeance on her mind. This war goddess blames Yato for deaths among her past regalia and will stop at nothing to end him. Yet her grudge hides more than she understands, and someone is quietly working against her out of sight. As Yato faces increasingly brutal confrontations with one of the strongest deities around, another crisis looms. His connection to Hiyori, the girl whose soul he has yet to fix, grows more complicated. Every way of helping her seems to mean losing her, a choice Yato refuses to make. Between godly conspiracies, intense combat and relationships he can't bear to lose, Yato finds that being broke might be the least of his problems.
