Noragami Chapter 72

Stayed up a bit late to get this done since I only had a few pages left when it got to be my bedtime. The end of the chapter didn’t specifically say, but the next issue comes out on the 6th again, as usual. Translation notes below.

Kiun knows he’s a good boy.

Justice via Russian Roulette is bullshit, but only if your side loses.

Daikoku’s line to Yato is literally “You seemed like you were going to speak from the white sand”. The “white sand” (shirasu) is an Edo-era court of law that took place in an area marked by white sand.

Yato’s reference to “secret” uses the term “himegoto”, which up until now has specifically only been used in reference to “God’s Greatest Secret”. Meaning he can’t give them any specifics right now because there are shinki around.

Yato promises to get Hiyori an Umai-bou, which the anime translated as “snack stick”. Umai-bou are flavored puffed corn sticks, basically like a giant Cheeto. And they are pretty cheap.

“Amagiri no Mikoto” is like “He Who Rends Heaven”, but could almost be something like “Skykiller” (which at least in English sounds awesome, but according to Hiyori, in Japanese, not so much). The “-no Mikoto” title is applied to a lot of older gods (like Izanami and Izanagi).

We know Nana isn’t literally Arahabaki’s daughter since we saw into her past. She called him “Aya-sama”, which we later learned meant “Father”, but it could be in an adoptive sense.

Kuraha: “Because until she wakes up I’m stuck as a fuggin’ lion.”
