Nice reintroduction to the whole thing, it's been more than a year and I kind of turned off my brain after the whiny regalia arc so I don't remember much but reintroducing the main characters and some new ones this way was great! They're even jumping in without any delay.
I do remember something about Hiyori's condition though from the first season, if I'm not mistaken it was Kofuku who explained it, I do hope they resolve her condition by the end of this arc.

Episode 1
More Yato and his money collecting and subsequently wasting lol. They get to getting rid of more phantoms. Bishamon likes saving the poor spirits out there and then takes them into her family. Just like what happened with Yato in the first season when Yukine turned bad, the same can happen to Bishamon since she has a ton of regalia and she can't possibly keep an eye on all of them so who knows what they might be doing. The dream we saw was most likely this exact thing. Bishamon's regalias went bad and caused those blights all over her and Yato came to eliminate the bad regalias since that was one way to save Bishamon. But Bishamon probably didn't like what Yato did since she probably wanted to save them too. Thus, she holds a grudge against Yato. Yato was doing the right thing in his own way. The scene in the OP where Bishamon is lying on someone's lap, who looks like Yato, could be something like the aftermath of Yato's action. The OP reminded me that we still haven't seen much of that loli with the mask. She came towards the end. It's either that they didn't tell much about her or that my memory is failing me here. The new guy who was preparing Bishamon's bath seems bad. The pink haired girl also looks like she'll turn bad and then things will end up just like that time many years ago when Bishamon got those blights. |

What if someone killed Yukine instead of doing the ablution ritual like Yato wanted?
Honestly, I think only the jinki's master has the right to decide what to do with their jinki. No one else should have a say on that. Yato risked his life so Yukine wouldn't have to lose his. Don't you think Bishamon has right to risk her life for her jinki too? All in all, even if Yato killed Bishamon's jinki to help her, I don't think what he did was the right thing to do.

The action sequences in this premiere wow, just wow. Bishamon switching from one weapon after another. Gun, whip, and then bigass sword. Then proceeds to blowing the phantoms like they're paper. It's especially cool to see Kazuma assisting her by revealing all the targets' vulnerable spot she can exploit during the fight. Sure, Yato and her folks antics were still quite funny, but the action scenes alone already sold me.

There were glimpses of some sort of web or tendrils or fleshy cocoon-type-thing around Bishamon and enveloping the Shinki calling out for her. (Made me think of something out of Prototype, really. Anyway.) They had probably already been completely absorbed into the phantom, it was just using their voices to try to guilt and torment her, because that's what phantoms do.
Leaving that aside, remember that it takes three Shinki to do the ablution ceremony on one corrupted Shinki. How many would it have taken to cleanse as many as Bishamon had? Would it even have been possible to find that many SHinki willing to risk themselves in the attempts, knowing that at least some of the rituals probably would fail and kill the ones attempting it instead? If they were corrupted so far as to have blighted her to that point, could Bishamon have even survived long enough for Yato to have gathered the required Shinki to help, even putting aside the question of whether that many Shinki would even have been available?

If it is Kazuma then it would tell why the two are so close. Kazuma probably being her first regalia after the incident with Yato or the only regalia who survived that incident and didn't go bad. |

Also, don't forget that this is all speculation. We don't really know if Yato killed those shinki to help Bishamon. For all we know, he just killed them because he wanted and the shinki started to corrupt themselves (and Bishamon) out of despair. In fact, that actually sounds more plausible to me, because I don't think Yato would go out of his to save another god (or person) if said god didn't want to be saved. Even the current Yato probably wouldn't do that.

Episode 2:
Good episode but pacing felt kinda slow... Hmm, I think the episode establishes the fact that Bishamon cares about her Shiki quite well and has a fear of losing them. Glad to see Yukine happy though after making a new friend. And this episode also builds more on the ominous nature of this arc involving Bishamon with that ending. I can't wait to see how the story will develop here. Hmm, getting used to the new OP song now. I'm starting to like it as well.

Bishamon is a very interesting character, so the focus is welcome. Her doctor seems a bit fishy though (then again, I did just watch god eater), and the whole "I have so many regalias I need a freaking mansion to house them all" has left her more vulnerable than I'd like her to be...still, the Yato encounter is inevitable - what will she decide then and how will everyone else react?
