anangrybouquet: ok but like can we talk about Yato wanting Hiyori as a shinki? Initially?  Oh yes, we totally can. Yato is thinking about turning a still living human into a shinki, and I wonder how he would go about that. I mean, the reason he wants Hiyori as his shinki here is precisely because she is able to deal heavy blows by anchoring herself in the Near shore, which wouldn’t be possible if he killed her and made her into a shinki. I think that’s the exact reason why he decided to not make a shinki out of her in the end - I don’t think it would be possible while she was still alive, and she would lose this advantage if she was proper dead.Also, it’s nice to see how far Yato’s come as a character, isn’t it? Regardless of whether Hiyori was a living shinki (if that’s even possible) or a proper shinki, she would be torn from her family forever, but at that point Yato didn’t even care about that as long as he had a weapon to protect himself (also, a companion). This is not something he would do now.An afterthought: or  maybe his “in normal circumstances I would turn you into a shinki, but…” actually means that it would be cruel to take that all of that away from her, since she is still a living human. -- source link
