No. Title Original air date "Bearing a Posthumous Name '' "Imina, Nigirite '' (諱 、 握り て) October 2, 2015 Yato, Yukine and Hiyori fight a Bunny Plushie Phantom that manifested from a baby. Yato tells Yukine to avoid Bishamon, who rescues the spirit of a young girl from a flock of Crow Phantoms, claiming the girl into her family and names her Mineha. However, Bishamon falls ill from being stung due to her Regalia 's pain. Kugaha, another of her Regalia, tells her that Kazuma helped in the ablution for Yato, but she does not believe this. Yukine befriends a boy named Suzuha, who happens to be one of Bishamon 's Regalia. "One of Her Memories '' "Kanojo no Omoide '' (彼女 の 思い出) October 9, 2015 Suzuha tells Yukine about a human girl who visited him every summer but forgot him each year she returned, as human memories of Far Shore beings are flimsy. Yukine now fears Hiyori will forget him and Yato as she gets older. Kugaha gets Suzuha killed, which puts Bishamon in pain. Noticing that Bishamon has incurred blight, Kazuma gathers her Regalia to find the culprit, but is surprised that they are all untainted. Kugaha ambushes Yato, but Yato defeats him unarmed. Kugaha remarks on Yato 's incredible strength, noting that it must be because he has strong ties to the Near Shore - Hiyori. Kugaha plans to destroy Bishamon by breaking her family of Regalia. "False Bond '' "Itsuwari no Kizuna '' (イツワリノ 絆) October 16, 2015 Yukine learns of Suzuha 's death from Kazuma and is inadvertently warped with him to Bishamon 's shrine. When Bishamon confronts Kazuma about Yato 's ablution, Kazuma tells her that Yato is in fact her savior, before protecting Yukine from being shot by her. This causes Bishamon to exile Kazuma, as she hesitates to revoke him from her completely. Kazuma is taken in by Kofuku and Daikoku. Aiha, the corrupt Regalia in Bishamon 's clan, attacks Yato, and Kugaha kidnaps Kazuma and Hiyori 's soul, leaving behind her unconscious body. "Wish '' "Negai '' (願) October 23, 2015 While the two are imprisoned, Kazuma reveals to Hiyori that he is the sole survivor of Bishamon 's former Regalia clan. In the past, Bishamon incurred blight from a corrupt Regalia. When the clan succumbed to chaos and became a Blob Phantom, Kazuma had asked Yato to kill them to save Bishamon. This is the reason Kazuma is indebted to Yato and why Bishamon hates him. Kugaha plans to become Kazuma 's successor after killing Bishamon and reincarnating her. Yato and Yukine fight Bishamon, mistakenly believing she kidnapped Hiyori. When Bishamon proceeds to kill Yato, Yukine jumps in front to protect him, being cleaved in half. 5 "Divine Acclamation, Imprecation '' "Kamuhosaki, Hosakiki '' (神 祝 き 、 呪 きき) October 30, 2015 Due to his undying loyalty to Yato, Yukine evolves into a Blessed Vessel. Aiha causes Bishamon to incur extreme blight. Kugaha sends a Dinosaur Fossil Phantom to devour Bishamon 's Regalia, further weakening her. Guilty and dying, Aiha releases Hiyori and Kazuma. The two try to stop the fight but when Bishamon charges at Yato, Kazuma pushes him out of the way and takes the blow. Wounded, he confesses that he was responsible for the deaths of her former Regalia. Bishamon weeps with Kazuma in her arms. 6 "What Must be Done '' "Nasubeki Koto '' (為す べき こと) November 6, 2015 Kugaha tells Bishamon that she must reincarnate to repent for her sinful acts. Yato chops off Kugaha 's right hand, stating that such a concept does not pertain to a God as Gods do not commit wrong. Bishamon revokes Kugaha from her family, and kills the Dinosaur Fossil Phantom that devoured her Regalia. Later, Kazuma awakes in bed, having healed, and reflects that he has failed as an exemplar. Bishamon is now healed after undergoing an ablution with Aiha. Kazuma asks her to revoke him but Bishamon remarks that humans make mistakes. She asks him to be her guiding voice once again. 7 "How to Worship a God '' "Kamisama no Matsuri Kata '' (神様 の 祀り 方) November 13, 2015 Upon returning, Yato is reminded by Tenjin about the promise he made to sever ties with Hiyori, but does not keep this promise when Hiyori reminds him that she had wished to be with him forever. Ebisu, one of the Seven Gods of Fortune, comes to Yato with a suitcase full of money in hopes of buying Yukine since he is now a Blessed Vessel, one who must protect their God as a guiding voice. Yato and Yukine follow a Coin Purse Phantom, in which Yukine uses the money as bait and Yato annihilates it. Yukine ultimately declines Ebisu 's offer, wishing to be a strong guide for Yato. Yato becomes depressed due to the lack of a shrine, as this means people do not need him. Hiyori builds him a miniature shrine, making Yato cry tears of joy. 8 "God of Calamity '' "Magatsukami '' (禍 津 神) November 20, 2015 Yato reveals that the miniature shrine has been recognized as an official shrine by Takamagahara, the Heavenly Realm. Yukine asks Kazuma to teach him how to do invocations, and he agrees. Kofuku explains to Hiyori that a God vanishes when forgotten. Yato meets with Nora to release her, but is taken when his father appears. His disappearance worries Hiyori and Yukine. Nora influences Yato to kill a convict who murdered someone 's daughter. She promises that he will be free to leave if he completes one last request from his father. 9 "The Sound of a Thread Snapping '' "Ito no Kireru Oto '' (糸 の 切れる 音) November 27, 2015 It has now been a month since Yato has gone missing. He must rescue a conjurer from the Underworld as his last job. A colloquy at Takamagahara suspects the conjurer is Ebisu, possibly controlling Phantoms. In the Underworld, Yato meets Ebisu, who wants a Locution Brush, a brush that will allow him to control Phantoms without suffering blight. They are captured by Izanami, the queen of the Underworld, but after receiving the Brush, Ebisu and Yato try to escape.

Ebisu reveals that he wants to control Phantoms for the sake of humanity to prevent them from misfortune. Yukine, Kazuma and Daikoku discover that Ebisu is with Yato in the Underworld, and the remaining Six Gods of Fortune are imprisoned in Takamagahara until Ebisu receives punishment for his crime. Kazuma frees the Gods, while Hiyori and Yukine head to the sealed doorway of the Underworld. Ebisu decides to surrender to save Yato from Izanami.

Thanks to Hiyori, Yukine is able to beat him. Bishamon and Kazuma find an injured Ebisu outside. Kofuku and Daikoku open a vent and Bishamon enters to save Yato, as Hiyori, Yukine and the others wait. Yato and Nora are captured by Izanami, but Bishamon arrives and battles her, apologizing to Yato for her grudge against him. She motivates him to fight back when she reveals that Hiyori and Yukine are waiting for him. When Kofuku is unable to reopen the vent, Ebisu says that the only other way to bring back Yato and Bishamon will require a human - Hiyori. 12 "Your Voice Calls Out '' (君 の 呼ぶ 声) December 18, 2015 Ebisu explains that a Soul Call, in which a human calls out the true name of a God, can bring Bishamon and Yato back. Hiyori successfully calls out to Bishamon, bringing her back, but the Soul Call fails on Yato, meaning "Yato '' is not his real name. When the Heavens Punishers come to execute Ebisu, Bishamon tries to defend him. Hiyori remembers the name she engraved on the miniature shrine and calls out Yato 's real name "Yaboku '', bringing a wounded Yato back. The Heavens Punishers summon a pacification ring to kill Ebisu. Yato destroys the pacification ring to protect him but another is placed on the ground, trapping Ebisu. 13 "The God of Fortune 's Message '' (福の神 の 言伝) December 25, 2015 The pacification ring killed Ebisu, reincarnating him back to a child, not aware of who he was in his past life. His death and reincarnation greatly affects Yato, who tells the child Ebisu that he was a brave and selfless man in his past life. Yato wants to be more like Ebisu, doing good for humanity rather than murdering. He lets go of his past as a God of Calamity and releases Nora, vowing to have a new purpose as a God of Fortune with Yukine as his guide.
