Honestly I re read this series from beginning till end and while the ending arc was a bit rushed, I definitely think as a whole it wasn't that badThis shit is honestly pretty incoherent, and is so damn sloppy.
What was once a great manga series is about to fizzle out in a whimper.
my guess is that when the shiki are given their names to be used by the gods, they are properly dead, but since for Hyori, it happened while the world was messed up by Yato's dad, it wasn't fully completed allowing her soul to return to her body. Probably also a little fuckery pulled by Amaterasucan someone explain the whole "hakki was given name within the irreverent construct the considered the birthing of his own nation. therefore, it could not fully become a shiki by simply severing such inauspicious ties was her breath returned"
how did hyori come back to life??
Oh thank god, it's finally over. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to reread this entire arc cuz I understood less than 30% of what was going on.
