Characters

[edit]

Yukito's Kakuri

[edit]
Yukito Urabe (卜部 征人, Urabe Yukito)
Voiced by: Junya Enoki[3] (Japanese); Austin Tindle[4] (English)
After being thrown by his father and his cult off a cliff into the sea as part of a ritual, he initially believed he died and was reincarnated in an isekai world, until he realized that he was still alive and was instead transported into a post-apocalyptic distant future where gods do not exist.
Yukito is immediately displeased, as he was finally hoping for death's release from his father's insane abuse; Mitama had brought him to this world to found the cult as a religion, so that she may gain followers.
Mitama (ミタマ)
Voiced by: Akari Kitō[3] (Japanese); Sarah Wiedenheft[4] (English)
The land goddess worshipped by Yukito’s cult. Mitama made the poor choice of Yukito as her acolyte, seemingly never paying attention to whether he was a believer in her; if it weren't for her breaking down in tears and begging, Yukito would have ditched her off the bat.
Alural (アルラル, Aruraru)
Voiced by: Kana Hanazawa[5] (Japanese); Bryn Apprill[4] (English)
A girl who first found a time displaced Yukito and has an unhealthy obsession towards him.
Siluril (シルリル, Shiruriru)
Voiced by: Sumire Uesaka[5] (Japanese); Lindsay Seidel[4] (English)
The older sister of Alural.
Roy (ロイ, Roi)
Voiced by: Sho Fujisawa[5] (Japanese); Travis Mullenix[4] (English)
A resident pervert and a masochist in an isekai world which revealed to be a post-apocalyptic distant future, whom Yukito befriended.

Empire

[edit]
Clen (クレン, Kuren) / Loki (ロキ, Roki)
Voiced by: Megumi Ogata[5] (Japanese); Meli Grant[4] (English)
The main antagonist. Initially thought to be a regular civilian under male disguise named “Clen” whom Yukito befriended. In truth, she is actually an Archon (偽神(アルコーン), Nisegami(Arukōn), kanji: False Gods) who manipulates the entire events and knows the truth behind the Empire as Mitama does.
Enlilta Reesehyde Bertrand (エンリルタ・リースハイド・ベルトラン, Enriruta Rīsuhaido Berutoran)
Voiced by: Junichi Suwabe[6] (male), Miyu Tomita[7] (female) (Japanese); Bradley Gareth (male), Corey Pettit (female)[4] (English)
Initially started out as a knight for the Empire. However, after being killed and resurrected by Mitama in retaliation for killing Yukito and the others whom he first befriended (save for “Clen”), his gender was swapped to his dismay.
Atar (アータル, Ātaru)
Voiced by: Aoi Yūki (Japanese); Emi Lo (English)[6]
The youngest Archon who started out loyal to the Empire, until Mitama exposed the truth about the kingdom and Loki. Atar then joined Yukito's cult and became the second God, gaining half of Mitama’s power by sharing believers.

Dakini

[edit]
Dakini (ダキニ) / Gohonzon (御本尊)
Voiced by: Rie Takahashi[8]
A leader of an erotic cult with a gyaru attitude who claims to be a real goddess of lust. In reality, she is an Archon who borrowed the power of the real Dakini, and formerly loyal to the Empire, until they killed her first human friend.
Rish (リシュ, Rishu)
Voiced by: Mikako Komatsu[8]
A member of Dakini cult, who is a surviving daughter of Gohonzon’s late first friend, Touka (トウカ).
Dakini (Real) (ダキニ (本物), Dakini (Honmono))
A real goddess of lust.

Gaia

[edit]
Gaia (ガイア)
Voiced by: Ami Koshimizu[8]
Archon with a small stature and a leader of cult-like orphanage who borrows the power of the real Gaia, such as an ability to summon animals and beasts. In the past prior to becoming an Archon, she was one of the researchers involved with the production of weapons that led Earth becoming a post-apocalyptic godless planet. Unlike Yukito, despite having similar background of having a parent who led their respective cult, she killed her mother in retaliation and willingly to kill all people in the Empire to get rid of Loki.
Cyan (シアン, Shian)
Voiced by: Rin Kurusu[9]
Kai (カイ, Kai)
Voiced by: Mutsumi Tamura[9]
Fau (ファウ, Fau)

Yukito is son of a cult leader dedicated to the god Mitama. The cult drowns Yukito hoping he will be reborn as their next leader. Yukito earnestly wishes to be reborn in a world without religion. He awakens in a new world in an isolated village and makes friends with sisters Alura and Siluril, and farmers Clen and Roy. After a few weeks they visit the Imperial city so Alura and Roy can obtain pornographic magazines. Yukito witnesses a public mass suicide and learns without religion there is no fear of death, so when the government decides citizens are no longer of use or social deviants they proudly commit suicide. Alura and the villagers are all deviants who refused suicide due to fearing death. Alura was declared deviant due to her lustful personality. Alura and Silural disappear and Yukito learns outcasts can be executed at any time. Silural has already been hanged and while attempting to rescue Alura both she and Yukito are killed. Dying again, Yukito prays to Mitama who manifest as a young girl, having been impatiently waiting for him to summon her as the next cult leader. Mitama murders the government soldiers and resurrects Yukito and Alura, excited to be the only God of a brand new world.

Mitama also resurrects Siluril and other hanged deviants. Unable to understand what a God is Alura jealously assume Mitama is Yukito’s lover. Fearing government revenge Yukito asks Mitama about her powers and is despondent to learn that due to having no believers in this new world she has no powers left. As there is a chance the government will send an army to their village Yukito needs to somehow get 10,000 people to worship Mitama and make her a God again. Roy, having discovered he enjoys masochism, becomes Mitama’s first believer when she treats him with disgust. Mitama is disappointed that Yukito still does not really believe in her. Mitama’s attempt to demonstrate her godly knowledge falls flat when she merely lists embarrassing events from Yukito’s childhood. Yukito also fails to inspire belief in the villagers using fortune-telling and magic tricks. Alura’s pet fox, Chilchil, dies from poison so Mitami uses the single spark of magic from Roy’s belief to resurrect Chilchil, causing both Alura and Siluril to believe. With some power returned Mitama agrees to Alura’s request to resurrect the soldiers she murdered, as they were innocent men following orders. The soldiers commander, Bertrandt, is furious when Mitama resurrects him as a woman.

Bertrand attempts to return to the Imperial government but with his female body is rejected as a nameless deviant. Bertrand is forced to accept Yukito’s offer to live in the village, accepting a job as Mitama’s Holy Knight. Using questionable recruiting methods Yukito gains Mitama another 100 worshippers by offering benefits to members only, such as priority protection from monsters and access to Mitama’s healing magic. Bertrand, forced by Alura and Siluril to wear female clothes, informs Yukito the Imperial army’s power comes from Archons, individual warriors granted powerful abilities by the Emperor. Yukito is fascinated by Bertrand’s sword, which appears to be magical but was created by the Emperor. The Archon Atar is tasked with destroying the village yet keeps being delayed by monsters appearing from nowhere. Yukito is abruptly inspired by a memory of his father who points out that most religions become popular through martial arts training. With Clem’s approval Yukito decides to drag the deviants into the 21st century. One month later Atar arrives and encounters Bertrand, now in even more risqué outfits, and decides to kidnap him to determine how his gender was altered. Atar is shocked by the village’s drastic changes as they now possess modern technology including wind turbine generators, motorised vehicles and industrial sized farmlands.

It is shown Yukito had Mitama summon modern technology, the use of which he restricted to Mitama’s believers. Mitama soon had almost 2000 believers. Yukito also introduced Exclusivity, the idea that believers are superior to non-believers. Clem admitted he is not actually a deviant; he once worked in the Emperors palace but grew disillusioned with that life and voluntarily moved into the deviant’s village. Yukito wondered why the concept of Gods never arose to explain unexplainable events like natural disasters. Bertrandt explained all such events are explained by members of the Assembly who work under the Emperor, thus nothing has ever been “unexplainable”. Yukito learns Atar has captured Bertrandt. Atar determines modern technology is blasphemy against the Emperor and the Assembly. With the power of 2000 believers Mitama fights against Atar’s Archon power but Mitama runs out of power first. Confused and enraged by their defiance Atar destroys the village, only for it to reappear unharmed. Atar realises it was an illusion just as Clem reveals he is actually a woman under an illusion disguise, Loki the Archon. Having infiltrated the village as a spy she decides Yukito and Mitama are just who she needs to help assassinate the Emperor.

Loki takes Atar, Yukito and Mitama to the Emperor but reveals he is an illusion and the castle a giant machine named Assembly that controls the Empire with the suicide system to ensure it always remains the same. Mitama reveals people did destroy the world in religious war; the survivors building Assembly to ensure religion was forgotten. Yukito realises he wasn’t reborn in an alternate world; Mitama just sent him thousands of years into Earth’s future after religion died out. Loki is tired of Assembly and offers to let them destroy it. Yukito doubts Loki’s motives so she reveals she discovered from Assembly how humans once had free will. She began infiltrating deviant villages to learn free will but deduced they were also under indirect Assembly control. Then Yukito appeared, bringing God with him, the pinnacle of a being capable of free will. Desiring this for herself Loki convinced another deviant village she was God and found their belief gave her God-like powers. Thus she and the Archons, except Atar, plotted to destroy Assembly and become Gods. Yukito agrees free will is preferable so Mitama destroys Assembly by sprouting a giant tree under it. Loki is surprised when Yukito, knowing the Archons would make terrible Gods, swears to help Mitama defeat them and become the one true God.

Loki leaves the powerless Atar with Yukito. Loki temporarily turns Bertrand back into a man, so she follows Loki to the Empire to hopefully become a man again permanently. Atar considers suicide until Yukito gives her hope of becoming a God herself and rebuilding Assembly. Alura assumes Yukito is a lolicon. Yukito announces Atar is now their second God; granting her half of Mitama’s power by sharing believers. Siluril discovers the Archon Dakini already has 10,000 believers, having based her religion around sex, lust and perversion, with priestesses titled Sluts. Yukito decides to infiltrate the church with Mitama, Roy and Alura as fake believers, and hijack the 10,000 believers from the inside. Riche, the Chief Slut, takes them to Dakini for initiation. Yukito panics when initiation involves being locked in a room with Alura while under a powerful lust spell. Due to training he received from his father he manages to resist until Mitama rescues them. The unused lust energy passes into Riche when she enters the room, causing her to orgasm and reveal she is actually a virgin who does not believe in Dakini. Realising Mitama is also a God she requests her help in destroying Dakini’s perverse religion.

Loki shows Bertrand without Assembly society has begun to fail. Riche admits she was a Deviant whose love of porn made her a sex expert, so she was made Chief Slut for her erotic knowledge and fake expertise. Yukito promises to destroy the church, so she approves their fake membership. Mitama weakens as her absence causes her followers to spend more time worshipping Atar. Yukito has Riche spread modern sexual knowledge, toys and medications summoned from Japan, causing Dakini’s followers to similarly neglect worshipping the absent Dakini to worship Riche. Furious, Dakini brainwashes Roy by teaching him masturbation is acceptable, so he betrays their plot. Yukito, Riche, Mitama and Alura are accused of heresy but Riche, having been sadistically tutored in acting by Yukito, convincingly fakes utter loyalty to Dakini and begs to be punished at their trial. This gains the support of Dakini’s believers; since someone so clearly loyal to Dakini couldn’t be a heretic. Faced with a possible rebellion Dakini postpones the trial and imprisons them. Roy affirms his loyalty to Dakini and abandons them. Yukito begins planning their escape but their cell is abruptly visited by Dakini’s inhumanly strong, most loyal bodyguards, the Purgers.

Dakini remembers Assembly created her power to restrict human love so Assembly could ensure population control by growing babies artificially. After thousands of years humans became infertile and incapable of love. Quietly rebelling against Assembly Dakini created pornography and reawakened love in a percentage of the population, in particular a deviant named Toka. When Toka became pregnant she was murdered so Dakini swore to make humans love again no matter what. Yukito and the others are rescued from the Purgers by Atar and Siluril. Atar is now worshipped by over 6000 of Mitama’s believers and can now defeat the weakened Dakini herself. Unfortunately, Dakini reveals even after Riche stole some of her believers she still has over 14,000 remaining. Riche is revealed to be Toka’s daughter. Dakini infects Atar, Alura and Siluril with uncontrollable lust, so they molest Yukito. Mitama rescues them, having borrowed Riche’s 1500 believers and, as a real God compared to the fake Archon’s, defeats Dakini easily despite having fewer believers. Dakini tries to escape but is caught by Roy; Yukito having convinced him that betraying Dakini would make Mitama lust for him. Defeated, Dakini breaks down crying as Riche’s resemblance to Toka makes her realise she was the one who destroyed human love, not Assembly, and she begs for Toka’s forgiveness.

Riche pretends to betray Yukito so Dakini can lead the church again. This allows Yukito and the others to sneak away. Including Riche’s followers Mitama finally has 10,000 followers and becomes a full God again. Returning home they find monsters completely destroyed the village. Despite only just becoming a God again Mitama uses up her power repairing the village. Archon Gaia,, who controls monsters appears and explains destroying the village was an accident. Since she only has 2 believers she is too weak to keep her monsters under control. She wants to help defeat Loki as she doesn’t agree with Archons fighting each other. Everyone visits the city but finds Loki has built a giant wall around it. Bertrand is still female and so miserable she wants to die. Loki has near ultimate power with 1,120,000 believers, though she is confused when Yukito laughs at so small a number and leaves, taking Bertrand with them. At the village Yukito is relieved his tough guy act worked since he has no idea how to defeat Loki. Bertrand reveals society has recovered already and runs like it did under Assembly, only with Loki as Emperor. Yukito realises Loki’s believers must have some residual loyalty to the old Emperor, meaning stealing them will be easy if he makes Mitama more popular than Loki, by turning her into a teen idol.

Yukito forms an idol group of Siluril, Alura, Gaia and Atar that becomes popular very quickly; since Assembly erased all music Yukito has reinvented it. Yukito confirms Mitama’s power doesn’t only depend on number of followers but also on depth of faith, so a God with fewer followers could still defeat Loki if her followers are more devout, and thanks to music Mitama’s followers are more devout than ever. Yukito sends Bertrand to spy on Gaia, who has begun acting secretive, and discovers Gaia has adopted several children as her private, very small group of loyal followers. Yukito decides to crush Gaia, since the depth of devotion a child has for a parent is immeasurable and could make Gaia very dangerous. Bertrand develops a crush on Yukito and attempts to molest him. This turns out to be a prank by Dakini, though it confirms Bertrand is starting to accept his female body and mind, to his horror. Dakini is now a huge music fan as her followers enjoy playing music during sex. Yukito keeps Gaia busy with idol training, allowing Dakini to make the children love her so as to save them from Gaia’s schemes. The eldest children, Kai and Cyan, are stubbornly loyal to Gaia and reveal they possess Gaia’s skill to control monsters they use to attack Dakini.

Gaia reappears. Cyan and Kai are overjoyed to see her, but Gaia reveals she doesn’t need them anymore and summons her most powerful monster, Typhon the Living Fortress that absorbs Cyan and Kai. Alura and Siluril arrive with a truck to rescue everyone. Gaia’s son Yushii explains Typhon is very loyal, so once it is summoned it is controllable without using magic. They also reveal Gaia based Typhon on a book from the old civilisation before Assembly. Typhon’s main body, which is even larger, attacks the truck eating Yukito and Mitama. At the village everyone realises without them their religion will probably fall apart. Yukito awakens inside Typhon, which has rooms like a castle, with Mitama, Cyan and Kai. Gaia reveals she has already killed Yukito 300 times but each time Mitama’s love keeps bringing him back as an immortal. She explains the old civilisation created Archons through genetic engineering, but some humans rejected science to live in nature. Gaia’s mother was leader of one such group who used Gaia as a tool to gain power. Unable to bear the abuse Gaia murdered her and ran away, later being turned into an Archon by the government. Gaia is tired of leaders manipulating people for selfish goals and intends to stop them permanently. Yukito realises he has become just like his father, manipulating people for power. The whole deviant village chases after Typhon on a mobile platform, with Mitama’s music group rallying them in support of Yukito whom they demand Gaia releases.

The villagers, their belief at an all time high thanks to the music, empower Atar to attack Typhon, but it heals itself. Mitama begs Yukito to finally believe in her so she can save him. He declares his belief in her, allowing her the power to free him, then immediately declares he was only joking, infuriating Mitama. Atar announces she is retiring as a god and urges her believers to believe in Mitama; they agree but only after Riche announces Atar will be joining Dakini’s cult for erotic services. Mitama is freed, restrains Typhon and stabs Gaia in the heart. Typhon explodes, freeing everybody inside. Kai tries to kill the weakened Gaia for her betrayal but Cyan stops him as she had realised, in her own twisted way, Gaia really did just want a family, so Gaia reconciles with her children. Kai, who deeply loves Cyan, agrees to monitor Gaia for Yukito to help protect Cyan. Yukito realises Mitama now has 30,000 followers, exceeding the number of available villagers. Loki appears to Yukito privately, explaining she secretly gave Mitama some of her believers to stop Typhon without risking her own life, then departs to await Yukito’s arrival at the capital. Yukito is retrieved by his friends who insist he join their chaotic victory celebrations. Yukito wonders if people really need gods when sometimes having each other feels like enough.
