Yet another spot on volume of Noragami packed with action, emotion, and beauty. This was a great way to finish the Ebisu arc and I have got to say it was super liberating. An old Japanese tradition of shouting the deceased name from a rooftop or into a well was used to draw Yato/Yaboku (Night Diviner) out of Yomi after Bishamon went to try and retrieve him. They only learned this thanks to one of the heavenly deities giving them the hint. Yato finally cuts his ties with Stray in an effort to turn over a new leaf and it warmed my heart to see him working this way. Also him taking young Ebisu out around town was adorable and heart wrenching at the same time. Divisions are starting to show among the gods, with our core group of Bishamon, Tenjin, Ebisu, and Yato realizing that the heavens didn't kill the crafter even if that's what they believe. I'm excited to see what actions the group takes to investigate Yato's dad, who is a fellow student at Hiyori's school.
