10 Greatest Sword Wielders In Anime
5. Noragami - Yato
A real-life god existing in the modern-day world, Yato has tried to proclaim himself as a god of fortune, happiness, and war, trying to assist mortals however he can when they are in peril from evil spirits. And all he asks for in return is a simple five yen.
Yato plans to use all the five yen he collects from the humans to fulfill his godly dream that one day he can afford to build his own shrine and be viewed as the god he wishes to be, a god of fortune.
Yato uses a sword that itself once was the wandering spirit of a child who had died and agreed to become Yato’s personal weapon, called Yukine. While that may sound creepy out of context, Yukine is a proud ally of Yato, appearing in his hand when called upon as an evil spirit slicing katana.
Yato is truly obsessed with money and can come off as mischievous and sometimes cold towards the suffering of mortal humans due to being a god. But when he is called upon and is paid for his services, Yato becomes a being that is quite unstoppable. When someone is in a desperate way, with no one else willing to stand up for them, Yato the God Of Fortune will appear and ensure the evil of the world is cleaned, and that he earns his five yen no matter what.
