Ameno

**Amenominakanushi** is the Shinto Primordial God of Heaven, Divinity, Control and Space-Time and the personafication of the Stars. He is the fugitive Celestial Shogun of the Shinto Pantheon. He is the oldest god of Japan, the master of constellations and the guardian of the Originating Heart of the Universe. He was the original ruler of Takamagahara and the ancestor of the Amatsukami.

He was a student of God of the Bible and a figure that was both respected and feared amongst the heavenly realms, commonly referred to by his epithet **White Hound**. He was one of the generals of the heavenly forces during the Creation Wars and after the Creator's blessings, he became one of the supreme rulers of all heavens and divinities.

Currently, though he is no longer the Supreme God of Japan, Amenominakanushi still enacts the Creator's Will as a vagabond deity. He usually plays the role of the Abrahamic Heavens' backline defense.

He is the first-oldest son of Amatsu-Mikaboshi, the August Star of Heaven, as well as the oldest brother of Kami-Musubi, Takami-Musubi, Umashiashikabihikoji, Amenotokotachi, Shinigami and the older half-brother of Shishioka Yukine, the Black Dragon Empress.

He is the father of the Kamiyonanayo: Kuninotokotachi, Toyokumono, Suhijini, Uhijini, Tsunugi, Ikugui, Otonoji, Otonobe, Omodaru and Ayaka Shikone, as well as the grandfather of Izanagi and Izanami.

He is the famed 'Champion of Existence', while also being a friend with the masters of the Abrahamic realms - Castiel, Jesus Christ and Gautama Buddha. He's also Nyx's main rival and Tian and Cthulhu's arch-nemesis. Recently, he became a History teacher in Kuoh Academy.

He is a 'posthumous protagonist' in the side-story *Spirit of the North Star*.

## Overview

Amenominakanushi had been considered a concept developed under the influence of Chinese thought, but now most scholars believe otherwise. With the flourishing of *kokugaku* the concept was studied by scholars. The theologian Hirata Atsutane identified Amenominakanushi as the spirit of the North Star, master of the seven stars of the Big Dipper. The god was emphasized by the Daikyōin in the Meiji period, and worshipped by some Shinto sects.

According to some texts, he is the celestial avatar of either Amaterasu, Izanagi or Amenotokotachi. In a myth that focuses on Izanagi and Izanami, it's said he and Kuninotokotachi function like brothers. Others say he is a supreme being who brought forth a beginning for the universe, not much different than the likes of God and Brahman and all other deities in Shintoism are just his facades.

Despite being thought of as the supreme being of Creation and the Cosmos, he and Tian are both technically 'sons of Chaos and God', as they originated from her, but were imbued in His power and wisdom.

## Appearance

As he and his fellow deities came into being alone and later hid themselves away, there is no hint or description of Amenominakanushi's true appearance. Izanami described his true visage as a force that is overwhelming enough to not only be fatal to mortals, but visually detrimental to anyone not a primordial entity.

Before hiding himself away along with his fellow Kami, he took the form of a tall, lean man with light skin and gray eyes. His hair is messy and light-blond (almost pale), with strands framing the sides of the face and hanging between his eyes, and he has chin stubble. He wears a dark green Shihakushō without an undershirt.

Over this, he wears a black haori, which sports a white diamond pattern along its bottom half, reminiscent of an inverted captain's haori. Amenominakanushi​ carries a fan, which he occasionally uses to hide his face. He usually wears traditional Japanese wooden sandals (*geta*) and a striped dark green and white bucket hat (which usually shadows his eyes), which has earned him the nickname "sandal-hat".

Currently, Amenominakanushi has the appearance of a tall, slender young man with white hair that has dark purple-brown fringes at the tips. He has sharp golden eyes that somewhat resemble those of a snake. He wears a black scarf with crests embroidered on it; the scarf covers the bottom portion of his face and is wrapped around his shoulders and draped along his arms. He also wears white gloves.

His school uniform consists of the black school jacket with a black button-up shirt with a sort of bow tie or cravat on the collar. He wears it with the dark uniform pants with a white belt and black boots that have crests similar to the ones on his scarf. During his first appearances, he wore a red Tengu Mask that hid his identity.

During the second war with the Outer Gods, Amenominakanushi appears as a tall, stoic man with white, combed-back hair that is much shorter than that in his original appearance. He also wears a coat that is black with light neon blue serpentine patterns and three separated coattails with slightly tattered edges, he was seen wearing a black sleeveless zippered-turtleneck beneath his midnight blue formal vest. He also wore charcoal gray fingerless gloves, black pants and dark boots covered by teal gaiters with several straps. After the war, he reverts back to his original appearance.

## Personality

The First Kami who possesses both intelligence and reason. However, he hides a secret sadistic violence underneath that. Within his long lifespan, he has a lazy and calm character.

Amenominakanushi has a very strong sense of duty to his race and to his kingdom, even though he had serious issues with some of them. He also has an immense pride as a Kotoamatsukami, but even then would put his kingdom’s future above his pride.

Amenominakanushi can appear cold, mysterious and very hard to read. He can even pretend to be friendly in certain occasions, but behind that he hides a huge dose of cruelty and usually is all part of his mind games with his enemies. He doesn’t do anything without a good reason which is all part of his plan to get revenge for the destruction of his kind on God, who he blames for it.

Ameno is also shown to greatly idolize his teacher, for which Nyx mocks him by calling him 'God's Yandere boyfriend'. One of his main drives is to succeed God's expectations of him - expectations which are a fruit of Ameno's mind.

But underneath his cruel personality, Amenominakanushi has a soft side that he rarely shows. This has been evidenced in the further scenes in his relationship with Benzaiten, wherein one scene he accompanies Benzaiten to the Sakura gardens and that her presence is the one that made him show his softness. Benzaiten's influence with him forced him to change his ways towards those he considers a threat.

Due to leading most of his existence fighting against evil entities, Ameno is socially awkward and is at his very best while fighting or judging someone. Despite having the vibe of an extremely arrogant being, Ameno is in fact humble and respectful even towards the weakest. He was unwilling to harm Amaterasu, Vali or Lucina Lucifer and simply beat them by immobilizing them in different ways. He cares not only for his faction, but every other heavenly realm as well and is often willing to lend a helping hand.

His main flaw is his biased, borderline racist view on all demonic and dark entities, though he especially abhors the Greek Protogenos and the Outer Gods. He unreasonably saw Nyx as pure evil and attempted to destroy her during the Shinto arc. However, after speaking with the progenitor of such entities herself, Ameno's distaste for them softened and he grew to respect those who stood by his side, regardless of their origin. He and Nyx become competative with each other.

In his own saga, after living as a mortal, Amenominakanushi displayed immense growth in character, becoming more merciful and thoughtful of others' safety, even his own enemies. Despite detesting Tianzu, Tian's son, Amenominakanushi warned him to not stay in his way or he will certainly die.

He also began appriciating mundane activities more and thus has started spending more time with Benzaiten lately. He is more open to show his sweeter side to others and is more confident in conversating with women than before.

Amenominakanushi also has a three-way code of honor that he never ever breaks under any circmustances: 1. Never bring intentional harm to any young creature; 2. Never kill a kind person; 3. Never desecrate the deceased.

## History

### Creation

Amenominakanushi manifested into existence as an antithesis to the being that was Amatsu-Mikaboshi. As his birth was shortly followed by four other entities like him, he organized them into the group known as the Kotoamatsukami and were successful in subduing their "mother". At the same time, a great war between the Four Great Gods had broke out. Inspired by what God preached, Amenominakanushi enthusiastically joined his side and became his greatest herald, earning himself the Abrahamic name 'Laban' (meaning White in Hebrew). During the war, Ameno, with the assistance of the Arcuthas, managed to defeat some of their greatest enemies such as Amatsu-Mikaboshi, Angra Mainyu and Tartarus.

### Kami-Musubi's Coup D'etat

As exhaustion, boredom and estrangement settled within the Kotoamatsukami, ideas of malice became rooted in all of them except Amenotokotachi. Kami-Musubi, consumed with ambition and envy, attempted to overthrow Ameno using Amatsu-Mikaboshi and Angra Mainyu. In a display of impressive prowess and tactics, Ameno managed to thwart Kami-Musubi's plans and defeated and sealed away him, Amatsu-Mikaboshi and Angra Mainyu.

### Flower of Heaven

Charmed by the trivial goddess that walked among mortals and gods and helped his subjects without ulterior motives, Ameno started visiting her often. Finding much things in common with each other, the two became close and started falling in love. After taking her to see his family members, Benzaiten took it upon herself to consult each and one of them, which led to the mutual decision of leaving other deities to succeed them while they focused on their true desires. Astounded by Benzaiten's wit and kindness, Ameno did not hesitate to take her as his wife after she expressed her feelings for him. Even then, he gave her one last warning for the life that awaited.

### Myth of Japan's Creation

Amenominaknushi first created Kuninotokotachi and Toyokumono, then a bit later on - Izanagi and Izanami. He tasked the first to rule Heaven and the second - Earth. He also created the Amenonuhoko spear to help Izanagi and Izanami in their main mission - to cleanse the essence of Amatsu-Mikaboshi that ran rampant.

### Meeting with Nyx

At one point, Amenominaknaushi met Nyx. The two started a fight over a silly reason which ended in a close victory for Nyx.

### Takamagahara's Tragedy

Though he was mostly absent from the conflict no thanks to driving off gods from foreign realities, Ameno helped in clearing up the mess left afterwards.

### Great War

Amenominakanushi joined the Great War halfway-through and attempted to restore peace between the factions to no avail, though he did make some new friends in the process such as Satan.

## Powers and Abilities

As one of the Primordial Entities and a Kotoamtsukami, Amenominakanushi is feared by Dragons, Gods, Humans and Demons alike, while being fiercely respected by his descendants. Almost every primordial entity with few exceptions has an inkle of fear or respect for him. He is strong enough to effortlessly prevent beings like Amatsu-Mikaboshi and Angra Mainyu from plunging the world into Chaos.

### Natural Abilities

**Immeasurable Divine Power**: As a Leader and Oldest of the Kotoamatsukami, Amenominakanushi boasts great amounts of divine ayra energy. His aura energy is intense enough to make opponents with high levels of energy sweat in fear. When releasing his spiritual pressure, it can create a shockwave strong enough to affect a considerable area and launch back weaker individuals. He has demonstrated noticeably great reserves of energy, launching multiple ultimate-level Magic and Touki attacks in a single battle without tiring. His Divine Aura is White. He was capable of freezing Tartarus in place with spirit pressure, clearly showing that he has immeasurable power.

**Nigh-Omnipotence**: While not as great as Xadldir, he does have the abilities creation, ascended celestial, endless power and others. He was described as both omnipotent and unbeatable by those aware of his existence. Amenominakanushi is only equated by Amatsu-Mikaboshi and rivaled by Benzaiten/Bishamoten and Musubi, and surpassed by Shishioka Yukine. No one below the Primordials can stand a chance against it and will never overcome it. Nyx has said that Ameno and Erebus are equally good combatants and them fighting would probably end up in a close stalemate.

* **Creation:** Being one of the oldest beings in existence, Amenominakanushi has the ability to create thrones and beings like Amatsukami.
* **Destruction:** Amenominakanushi has the ability to erase any being, object, location or anything from existence. Though he does more creating, he has proven capable of erasing and destroying as well, installing fear into the hearts of the Emperors of Hell when he erased the entire south-east division with two slashes of his sword.

**Immense Strength**: After the first wars, he quickly became feared and respected among the ranks of the Primordials Entities, the Outer Gods and the Dragon Gods. Amenominakanushi possesses an insane amount of strength, being a complete equal to Nyx. He could easily break apart Vali's *D x D* form with his bare fists. He was able to knock unconscious both Kami-Musubi and Takami-Musubi in one swift movement during an intense argument. Amenominakanushi was able to stop Nyx's blade with one leg, preventing her from destroying Enoshima Island.

**Immense Durability**: Amenominakanushi is very resistant towards all types of damage, even including pure darkness. Even when he was young, Amenominakanushi was able to tank hits from Amatsu-Mikaboshi and some of the weaker Outer Gods and come out relatively fine. He was able to easily endure hits from Amaterasu, Lucina and Vali Lucifer and did not react to a punch from an angry Yukine while extremely restricted. An attack from Nyx at point blank failed to even damage him and he himself is capable of resisting attacks from equally strong beings such as Cthulhu, Tian or Scarlet King.

**Immense Speed**: During the old wars, Amenominaknushi was known as 'Trace of God', not only because he was faster than all but Castiel and Satan, but also because while moving, he would always leave light-afterimages, creating the optical illusion that he's everywhere yet nowhere. He can match the likes of Nyx and Shishioka Yukine without much trouble. While dashing, he literally looks like a light particle.

* **Trick Dodge**: Amenominakanushi tilts his whole body to one side and boosts the motion of tilting to 109x36 times the speed of light, causing him to seemingly 'vanish out of space-time itself', allowing him to dodge unpredictably fast attacks.
	+ **Trick Down**: Amenominakanushi preforms the same type of dodge, but this time by jumping up and down instead of side-tilting.

**Power of the Central Master**: Power of the Central Master is the natural power of Amenominakanushi. Amenominakanushi is the Central Master of the Universe and Existence, the origin of nothing and everything according to Shinto and the highest principal in the Shinto Pantheon. He stands above Amaterasu and Izanagi, as well as all of his siblings and even his mother Amatsu-Mikaboshi is afraid of his full power. He had enough power to obliterate any Kami or Ayakashi threatening him or his loved ones with no effort. Tian referred to him as the Japanese Avatar of God and Chaos sees a resemblance of her former arch-foe in him. As a true testament to his power, even without Xadldir, he is classified as an SS-Class potential threat to Council of Godheads and is practically an EX-Class threat to any demonic and eldritch factions out there.

* **Heaven Embodiment**: Amenominakanushi is the Kami who rules in the Center of Heaven and the Universe. It is said that he and Takamagahara share a mutual consciousness, alongside his younger sister Amentokotachi.
	+ **Heaven Lordship**: Amenominakanushi has authority and duty in heavens, place where deities and angels come together as well as the souls of heroes, and good people in perfect peace and joy. Amenominakanushi is able to command the deities, angels and have godlike powers in Heaven.
	+ **Virtue Empowerment**: Amenominakanushi becomes stronger, faster, more durable, etc. by virtues (Chastity, Temperance, Charity, Diligence, Patience, Kindness, Humility, etc) of oneself and others, possibly unlocking abilities related to the affinity and enhancing the existing powers.
	+ **Virtue Inducement**: Amenominakanushi can bring out the virtues of others. Doing so, causes the victim to perform the seven heavenly virtues. This allows the victim to be enlightened and blessed as they had performed a meritocracy.
	+ **Goodness Sense**: Amenominakanushi is capable of recognizing the good or positive intent in themselves or others. He can tell how much good is within others and whether they are truly a threat or not based on their sense of the amount of good.
	+ **Heaven Manipulation**: Amenominakanushi controls the heavens and everything within, including the divine entities and angelic beings that may reside there.
	+ **Angel Manipulation**: As the Student of God, Amenominakanushi is one of the only Pagan Gods capable of creating, controlling and destroying angels. He can turn a young angel like Alysha into a full-fledged Archangel and even Sephirim by untapping her potential spirit energy.
	+ **Heaven Creation**: Amenominakanushi can create Heavenly Environments.

* **Supernova Inducement**: Amenominakanushi is able to cause stars to go supernova, a stellar explosion that is more energetic than a nova. This explosion can wipe out an entire solar system and everything within; planets, life, etc. As a high-level user of this ability, Amenominakanushi can cause smaller stars to turn supernova simply by touching them with his finger.
* **Energy Manipulation**: Amenominakanushi can create, shape and manipulate energy, the capacity to cause change: one of the most basic quantitative properties of a system, such as an object or a field of energy. Energy can be transformed (converted) among a number of forms that may each manifest and be measurable in differing ways. The law of conservation of energy states that the (total) energy of a system can increase or decrease only by transferring it in or out of the system, thus the total energy of a system can be calculated by simple addition when it is composed of multiple non-interacting parts or has multiple distinct forms of energy.
* **Universal Creation/Destruction**: Amenominakanushi has the ability to destroy/create an entire universe with the snap of his fingers. In one of the infinite timelines where he and Cthulhu fought, Amenominakanushi crushed his body by creating several universes and wrapping them around him. He snapped his fingers and the universes exploded.
* **Spatial Manipulation**: Amenominakanushi can create, shape and manipulate physical aspects of space within an area of his choosing, including an area and whatever is inside of that area. He can trap subjects or objects in space and push that space, throwing subject and object away from him or to create wormholes, paradoxes, and other strange events by warping spatial areas and twisting them around.
	+ **Spatial Defiance**: Amenominakanushi can defy space, allowing him to do things in shorter distances or spaces than space would allow or do things that would require lots of space in little spaces, or defy directions in space, so going south means going west, going east means going north, etc.
	+ **Space Boundary**: Amenominakanushi can separate/block any space from anything and everything else. This makes impossible for matter and waves to react with, enter, leave, move through, or be absorbed by the separated or for any energy to be transferred to and from the separated space, or for any alteration/interaction to occur with the separated earth. He can control exactly what space is being targeted, what the target space is separated from, and to what extent. The boundary affects both space and its esoteric, psychic, empathic, dark, light, etc. variants/forms.
	+ **Space Sharing**: Amenominakanushi can share space with other matter or make other things share space with other things. He can cause things to be able to be contained in other objects or use this to ignore attacks. He can even interact inside the object her share space with, allowing them to destroy, rupture or rearrange the insides of those objects.
	+ **Spatial Displacement**: Amenominakanushi can take a section of space from one location and shift it to another, anything occupying the taken space, whether it is objects, people or attacks would be transferred as well; in essence, this is the ability to teleport area itself. He can control the size of the taken area, allowing teleportation of large amount of targets at once, or reduce to partial teleportation, without the need to make physical contact with whatever they desire to teleport.
* **Divine Force Manipulation**: Amenominakanushi has control of anything that is symbolized as divine and holy connections to divine and sacred being. He is able to manipulate sacred objects and relics that are connected to the gods, angels, or divine power. With this, he is completely considered worthy of spiritual respect, allowing him to achieve feats that are impossible to be reached by mere mortals.
* **Galactic Energy Manipulation**: Amenominakanushi can create, shape, and manipulate galactic energy, the energy given off by entire galaxies.
* **Stellar Manipulation**: Ameno can create, shape, and manipulate all aspects of stars, self-luminous celestial bodies consisting of a mass of super-heated gas held together by their own gravity in which the energy generated by nuclear reactions in the interior is balanced by the outflow of energy to the surface, and the inward-directed gravitational forces are balanced by the outward-directed gas and radiation pressures.
	+ **Corona Manipulation**: Ameno can shape, create and manipulate all aspects of corona, a type of plasma that surrounds the Sun and other celestial bodies and extends millions of kilometers into space and is most easily seen during a total solar eclipse. The sun's corona is much hotter (by a factor from 150 to 450) than the visible surface of the Sun, average temperature is 5800 kelvin compared to the corona's one to three million kelvin.
	+ **EM Spectrum Manipulation**: Ameno can create, shape, and manipulate the full electromagnetic spectrum, the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.
	+ **Nova Manipulation**: Ameno can create, shape and manipulate novas (including supernovas, kilonovas and hypernovas), a transient astronomical event that causes the sudden appearance of a bright, apparently "new" star, that slowly fades over several weeks or many months. Nova involve an interaction between two stars that cause the flareup that is perceived as a new entity that is much brighter than the stars involved.
* **Space-Time Manipulation:** Amenominakanushi has also shown to be the ability to perform space-time manipulation, though at this point she can only manipulate space. However, during his fight with Nyx, Amenominakanushi was able to manipulate time, as well, for a short period.
* **Constellation Manipulation**: Ameno can create, shape and manipulate constellations, asterisms and zodiac signs, which are all patterns in outer space that are seen at night and usually resemble mythological entities.
	+ **Constructs Creation**: Ameno can change anything/everything, including matter/energy, power, concepts, etc., into tools, objects, weapons and other items, create semi-living constructs and/or create structures/buildings of varying permanence. Users who have mastered this ability can use it for almost any situation, creating anything they need.
* **Star Creation**: Amenominakanushi can create stars of various forms and radiation types.
* **Physical Force Manipulation**: Amenominakanushi can create, shape and manipulate physical forces, including gravity, kinetic energy, tension, pressure, friction, thrust, lift, drag, inertia, torque, g-forces, magnetism, acceleration, mass, weight, etc., Newton's Third Law, changing the direction of either of the two forces, or making a magnitude of one stronger or lower than the other.
* **Cosmic Manipulation**: Amenominakanushi can create, shape, and manipulate cosmic energies to produce nearly any effect they desire, including the molecular restructuring and transmutation of matter, the manipulation of matter across space and time, the creation of force fields, the creation of inter-dimensional portals and vortices, telekinesis, and cosmic awareness.
	+ **Cosmis Constructs**: Amenominakanushi can turn cosmic energy into tools, objects, weapons and other items, create semi-living constructs and/or create structures/buildings of varying permanence. Users who have mastered this ability can use it for almost any situation, creating anything they need.
	+ **Cosmic Solidification**: Amenominakanushi can solidify cosmic energy/substances, with the level of solidity going from loose jelly to metal-like hardness or beyond.
	+ **Constellation Transmogrification**: Ameno can take the soul of a person and turn it into a constellation in the sky. He can also do that to temporarily seal away beings, as well, as seen when he removed Issei's soul out of his body and locked in in the celestial sky as he didn't want to hurt him.
	+ **Gravity Manipulation**: Amenominakanushi can create, shape, move, control, interact and manipulate gravity, a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass or energy — including planets, stars, galaxies, and even light — are brought toward (or gravitate toward) one another.
	+ **Repulsion Manipulation**: Amenominakanushi can create, shape, move, control, interact and manipulate repulsion, the natural phenomenon counter-intuitive to gravity by which all things with certain mass or energy, including planets, stars, galaxies and even raw energy - are brought away from each other.
	+ **Celestial Blades**: Amenominakanushi can rapidly fire tiny shards of cosmic energy in the form of blades of various length and size that chip away at his enemy's defenses. Infused with his divine power, not even Nyx's shields of darkness are capable of fully withstanding a minute-long assault from these blades.
		- **Celestial Judgement Rain**: Amenominakanushi summons a cloud of celestial energy that rains down an uncountable number of celestial knives on his opponent.
		- **Celestial Judgement Binding**: Amenominakanushi places seven celestial swords on his opponent's soul after coming in contact with their essence. Since the Judgement Binding is a part of their soul now, to get rid of it, one would have to damage their own soul to get rid of the blades before they strike.
		- **Celestial Judgement Eradication:** Amenominakanushi summons a near-endless amount of celestial blades that begin to spin around his body, creating a nigh-unbreakable shield that instead of **blocking** or **deflecting** an attack, **tears it apart** before it can reach Amenominakanushi. Amenominakanushi may also choose to release it outwardly, slicing up anyone near him with ease.
* **Avatar Manipulation**: Amenominakanushi can manipulate avatars/embodiments (people and things that embody something), thus changing what a person or thing embodies, thus potentially altering their personality as well. Though usually based around concepts (as well as emotions and elemental forces), not all concepts that can be embodied are extremely powerful, and even places and other things can be embodied.
	+ **Avatar Creation**: He can create an incarnation, embodiment, or manifestation of a person or idea. He can to summon the essence of a variety of entities to embody their physical appearance, abilities and skills. Though the projected form may appear to be the user's skin but it is not instead an energy field of essence over the user's body that grant him similar features from a specific summoned monster.
	+ **Avatar Replication**: He can mimic/replicate the avatars or embodiments of anyone, gaining the powers, abilities, skills, attributes and even personalities of the avatar or embodiment they have replicated.

* **Advanced Growth Rate**: According to both El and God, Ameno's most astounding ability is his growth rate that was noted to be a lot different from normal Pagan Gods; he grasps the basic control of advanced techniques in days where it would take several years for even the most gifted of Kami. Shortly after awakening the Yamato for the very first time and with no previous training, he began learning advanced spiritual energy sensing techniques by sheer instinct, a year prior to the story. He received praise from several other powerful beings for his rapidly increasing skills and abilities such as when he gained considerable experience in the use of his teleportation technique while training with God, which was done the same time he was learning how to use Yamato properly and could now maintain his Star Blaze Inferno Armor, for a considerably longer periods of time.
* **Spiritual Awareness**: Ever since he was a child, Ameno has had an innate ability to clearly see spiritual beings and sense the presence of supernatural beings. After gaining his goddess body, his senses have continued to improve with time, learning various advanced sensing techniques, such as ZONE to sense and track people from far distances by reading their auras to find Shishioka Yukine. Even from a considerable distance, he can detect the condition of a being with spiritual power.
* **Quantum Manipulation**: With quantum manipulation, Ameno can enter parallel universes or bubble universes, multiverses and alternate realities, open portals via vortices and boom tubes, dimensional voids and open wormholes and survive a black hole. He can also enter different timelines/realities/dimensions.

**Shinto Authority**: Ameno's authority over the Japanese world is absolute and only rivaled by his siblings, his mother and his half-sister. He can call upon the powers of all of the Shinto entities during battle.

* **0th Master Element - Xadldir**: Ameno summons a blanket of meta-cosmic clouds that wrap around him and his enemies within an all-encompassing cosmic mist. There, Ameno is omnipresent and also cannot be detected by anything. Only Ameno is capable of summoning this power.
* **1st Master Element - Amatsu-Mikaboshi**: Ameno summons spheres of the Void that act similar to mini-black holes. It is Amatsu-Mikaboshi's power to a lesser extend. Cannot be used in tandem with the previous ability as they nullify each other completely.
* **2nd Master Element - Amenominakanushi**: Ameno summons numerous spheres of Primordial Light, which heal him and his surroundings and constantly burn his opponent. If he wants to, Ameno can gather them in his hand and fire them like an arrow. It gives bonus resistance towards Darkness and Void-themed attacks.
* **3rd Master Element: Musubi**: Ameno opens his hands, revealing the symbols of Yin and Yang on each, then closes them together. Pillars of fire and water erupt through the ground in near-uncountable amount.
* **4th Master Element - Izanami**: Ameno touches someone and instantly banishes their soul to Yomi where the divine boulder placed by Izanagi would prevent them from escaping. This was used to neutralize Vali Lucifer without harming him.
* **6th Master Element - Fujin**: Ameno summons Fujin's Sacred Bag which allows him to store entities or pure energy inside, the second of which he can then release anytime he wants. This was used to neutralize Lucina Lucifer without harming her.
* **7th Master Element - Raijin**: Amenominakanushi calls upon Raijin's thunderbeasts (Raiju) to fight for him. Their prowess is augmented with crazy amounts of divine power by Ameno. The beasts may stack on top of the enemy and do a suicidal explosion, which Ameno claims has more energy output than a supernova.
* **12th Master Element - Kuninotokotachi:** Amenominakanushi summons the very Spirit of the Land, giving him a significant boost in power and speed if he is on Japanese grounds or any of his territories.
* **8th Master Element - Amaterasu**: Amenominakanushi summons the Sun in the form of gigantic energy sphere to nuke the area.
* **15th Master Element - Hachiman**: Ameno summons every spear, arrow or blade used by a Japanese warrior in any point of history and fires it at his opponent.

**Master Magician**: Amenominakanushi was "born" without a magical talent and he was especially bad at casting spells in the past, something which Nyx often mocks him for. However, with eons of fighting experience, Ameno became one of the world's greatest masters of magic and is able to rival Nyx, a goddess of magic.

* **Anti-Magic**: Amenominakanushi can create barriers, seals, spells, etc. that can render magical-reliant beings powerless.
* **Elemental Magic**: He created a copy of the Earth, which he then destroyed and recreated ten times over, changing its shape and weather every-time all because he was bored.
* **Space-Time Magic**: Being a part of the space-time continuum throughout every universe itself, Amenominakanushi has near-absolute control over its magic and can even render Ananke's and Nyx's space-time bending useless. The Yamato Blade can cut through space and time, as well.
* **Kabbalah Magic**: The main Magic System of Jewish Mysticism. This is the first Magic System created by Raziel for humans to wield, with immense power over the manipulation of reality and the elements. This is the most powerful amongst the three main Magic Systems wielded by the three Abrahamic Factions, as well as the hardest and most complex in nature.
* **Sealing Magic**: Ameno is capable of performing immensely powerful sealing magic. He can single-handedly place thousands of forbidden-level seals on apocalyptic beasts and eldritch horrors. He can also freely manipulate those seals.
* **Cloning**: During his second fight with Nyx, Ameno displayed the ability to create a trillion clones without exerting any energy.
* **Healing Magic**: Amenominakanushi is a skilled healer, able to bring back people from near death and heal even the greatest of poisons.
* **Teleportation Magic**: Ameno can teleport a large mass of beings through both space and time with ease.
* **Starlight Magic**: Ameno uses this form of magic to manipulate starlight. It is a powerful Magic based around the stars of the cosmos. Ameno generates and manipulates the energy of stars from his body and uses it against his enemy. Ameno has shown tremendous mastery over this particular form of Magic as seen when he created a spear made out of five million stars to blow away the lower half of Nyx's body.

**Master Combatant**: Ameno has currently achieved the highest level of combat proficiency (armed and unarmed) and is capable of performing superhuman/supernatural feats far beyond normal boundaries. He is also capable of single-handedly defeating an entire army of opponents and even outmatch all high-level master combatants without any difficulty. He comes close to being unmatched by anyone who engages him in close combat, making him one of the most powerful opponents and a force to be reckoned with.

* **Divine Shaori**: Amenominakanushi relaxes his body, letting it absorb and contain the force an enemy attack and then releasing it back at them. A Chinese-inspired technique which gave his physical form some trouble. He managed to beat the Ascended God Catsiel twice using this technique. He can counter attacks from Azathoth​, but the strain from doing so more than five times puts an unbearable strain on his body.
* **Astrokinetic Combat**: Amenominakanushi is able to utilize cosmic energies with their physical combat, granting him both vast power and flexibility to use several different powers. While this makes him extremely powerful, it may also be difficult to control with fine precision. However, Amenominakanushi has been able to surpass this flaw.

	+ **Master Swordsman**: Amenominakanushi is the near-perfect swordsman, capable of expertly wielding the Yamato and cutting down many enemies at once without batting an eye at them. His sword-skills were proven to be far superior to the likes of Amaterasu, Nyx and Amenotokotachi, outplaying their swordplay with the same amount of effort it would take for him to brush Benzaiten's hair.

		- **Kenjutsu**: Amenominakanushi can sword-fight with little or no effort, deliver skillful strikes to weak points with great precision, and cut only and exactly what they want. This ability also allows them to become naturally skilled with multiple swords or any type of sword regardless of shape or size to suit their needs in combat. Their remarkably fast weapon control may allow them to bypass obstacles in order to cut their intended target.
		- **Tanto**: Amenominakanushi has great skill in using a Tanto - a type of Japanese knife sometimes used by samurai for tight-corner fights. Amenominakanushi proved to be profecient enough with this to wield it at the tip of his leg and cut Cthulhu's wrist and cheek.
		- **Fencing**: Due to portegese and their neighbours - the Spanish, being the first westerners to arrive in Japan, their sword technique was the first Amenominakanushi invested some form of interest in. Fencing provided some benefits that were foreign to common Japanese swordsmen. Amenominakanushi himself improved upon the techniques to the point where Cthulhu called Kiba Yuuto, a master fencer, an arrogant amateur, probably due to only being exposed to Amenominakanushi's near-immeasurable fencing skills.
		- **Gatka**: Gatka is an indian weapon combat art that focuses on wildly swinging one's weapons while dancing around the opponent. Amenominakanushi had a positively blooming relationship with the Hindu Faction, courtesy to Benzaiten and Jesus Christ for helping him get acquianted with the indian culture. During the wedding ceremony for Shiva and Pravati, Amenominakanushi took extreme note of one preformer's display of an odd and elegant combat dance. He purposefully pretended to be a minor god and lose to the divine preformer so he may teach him his art. Similar to fencing, Amenominakanushi improved upon this combat art with his own techniques.

He possesses immense archery skill, capable of wielding the bow and arrows to their utmost potential. He could easily use his archery skills to their utmost potential, and taking out numerous opponents with it. He could also manipulate the trajectory of the arrows he shot with nearly-perfect precision.

**Combat Genius** (コンバットジーニアス Konbattojīniasu): Amenominakanushi's 'Specialty'. Amenominakanushi is the naturally born 'perfect fighter' who is able to counter the find a way to counter any and all techniques and there is no obsticle he is unable to overcome. His techniques are truly peerless and his capability is only limited by his own resolve.

* **Tactical Analysis**: Amenominakanushi is an extremely skilled strategic genius and apply this skill to several objectives, able to create strategies and plans several steps ahead of the opponent. He can elaborate complex plans/strategies and apply them not only in battle but all activities that involve cunning intellect, e.g. strategic games. He can anticipate all of the possible obstacles/opportunities and know what the best actions to take in any situation, allowing them to adapt and prepare for future events in advance by considering a large number of scenarios/outcomes/options/paths, and plan ahead for them, to be ready for any situation that may occur and handle it effectively.

**Senjutsu Master**: Amenominakanushi was the inventor of **Senjutsu**, while his sister Kami-Musubi came up with **Youjutsu**. The fundementals of this technique were mapped out by Amenominakanushi himself. To create the Sage Arts, Amenominakanushi underwent vigirous training by sinking himself at the bottom of Nu's body, whereupon he obtained the ability to manipulate his life-energy flow, as well as connect to all nearbye life-energy flows. Naturally, as the inventor, Amenominakanushi holds an esteemed position amongst the Senjutsu Masters as an absolute figure that has been, is not and will never be truly matched by anyone and Amaterasu said that even if she trained in the arts of Senjutsu for a million years, she would still be a novice in comparison, especially because Amenominakanushi is always improving his Sage Art. Not much has been shown of his Senjutsu, though Amenominakanushi was capable of paralyzing Shishioka Yukine without scratching her Scale Mail armor and he also displayed the ability to 'reverse-engineer' another being's life-energy flow as he made Tian's hand explode by forcing his energy output to be released inwardly inside his body.

* **Touki:** Through intense training over the years, Amenominakanushi has attained absolute control over his base of life, granting him seemingly infinite touki. Using Touki, his offense, defense, and speed increased to where he could cause a greek island to explode just by touching it with his feet. In fact, Amenominakanushi's life-force was powerful enough to where his right arm remained after it was cut off by Nyx. Due to his immense life force, Amenominakanushi can use multiple forbidden-level techniques without them costing any energy.

**Youjutsu Master**: Amenominakanushi​ is a master in the use of Genjutsu and Magic spells. He knows how to break barriers of the oldest of Primordial Gods, a feat which even Celestial Princes cannot achieve. He can silently, and without warning, use low and mid-level Youjutsu to great effect. He can rapidly use a single high-level Youjutsu repeatedly, or multiple ones in quick succession, by name alone, without incantation or calling the type and level, while retaining considerable power and control. He can use level 999 999 Youjutsu, but has more difficulty with Youjuts above level 8000 without incantation, as he had to use the incantation to ensure enough power for a level 910 000 Youjutsu. He can use multiple Youjutsu in conjunction for various combination and diversion tactics, and have them remain undetected until sprung in sync in a chain reaction.

**Genius-Level Intellect**: Considered the 'Combat Genius of Shinto', Ameno's 'combat intelligence' is near-unmatched and it even surpasses that of Tian's, though the latter is still superior when it comes to other types of tactical performances. He wasn't born a natural genius, much like Issei Hyoudou, but instead slowly built up his experience by fighting and training. Though he proves to be socially inept, Amenominakanushi is a well of knowledge when it comes to random historical facts or combat techniques. Issei Hyoudou thinks that his head would explode if he learned even just half of what Amenominakanushi knew about history, religion and combat.

* **Master​ Strategist**: Amenominakanushi possesses a flawless foresight, enable him to balanced his long-term strategy with his tactical moves with unparalleled accuracy, as well as intuitively forecasting future trends, changes, events, and developments, and respond quickly and accurately to any circumstance or situation, also able to persuade people and manipulate them to do what he wants them to do discreetly, by using various psychological tricks, and easily read their intentions and discover their deception. Which makes him the ideal strategist at all levels, and achieve the best possible results in anything he does.
	+ **Adaptation:** Amenominakanushi could easily adapt to the conditions and environments around him, allowing her to virtually fight in any possible situations.
* **Master Teacher:** Amenominakanushi possesses extensive, if not innate, knowledge of and experience in teaching/training others, helping them to acquire knowledge, skills, techniques, and competence in different fields (martial arts, scientific fields, etc.). He was able to progressively spread the Art of Senjutsu across the Supernatural World until it became one of the Seven Fundemental Combat Techniques.
* **Hypercompetence**: Amenominakanushi possesses powerful/incredible skill in one, several, or in some cases every possible field or discipline, whether intellectual or practical, formal or mundane: mathematics, cooking, strategy, sports, games, politics, fighting, mechanics, psychology, economy, art, medicine, investigation, etc. According to Amenotokutachi and Hachiman, the most suited individual to lead the Kotoamatsukami or Celestia is Amenominakanushi, as neither Kami-Musubi, Takami-Musubi, Amaterasu nor Shishioka Yukine can match up to his level of competence.
* **Accelerated Probability**: Amenominakanushi can perceive the information of any situation and use the variables of that information to predict/perceive the paths that lead to certain outcomes will occur, based on what choices are made. They can then accelerate themselves along the path of their desire, which causes them to reach the conclusion of the path taken.
* **Master Inventor**: Amenominakanushi is immensely well-versed with craftmenship and the act of inventing things. As the greatest student of God, his skills with crafting or recreating divine items and/or thrones of power, as well as creating entire realms and additional universes far surpasses the skills of the Celestial Princes. In one instance, he was able to recreate the Truth Idea and fill it with his anti-demonic magic in order to nullify and erase Ayaka Shikone's dark copy of the Truth Idea.

**A+ Charisma** When speaking, Amenominakanushi is capable of commanding respect, reverence or at the very least acknowledgement from every being in existence. Often, Amenominakanushi may unintentionally charm female entities with his looks and speech, which usually leads to some fun shenanigans. Nyx herself joked that if Amenominakanushi was as open-hearted as Issei he could have a harem of his own, which becomes true later on in his spin-off story, where Guanyin, C'thalpa, Malkuth and Ding Li become his closest allies and best friends and love interests.

**Immortality**: Like the rest of the Kotoamatsukami, Amenominakanushi became eternally immortal after being blessed by God. He cannot age nor can he be overcome by anything below the Primordial Entities. He will heal from any injure no matter how grave it may be, for as long as the concepts of 'Heaven', 'Cosmos' and 'Light' still exist in the multiverse.

**Primordial Light Manipulation**: Amenominakanushi can control the primal light that brought about the dawn of creation, representing the warmer, brighter aspect of primal creation, alongside the Darkness, both being two halves of the same coin, yet stand opposite and in perfect balance. Due to its primordial nature it goes beyond concepts of good, evil or even neutrality.

* **Omnidirectional Light Waves**: Amenominakanushi can release massive amounts of light in every direction at once for almost unlimited scales. This ability allows the user to dispatch many foes at once and destroy large area like villages.
* **Primordial Light Expertise**: Amenominakanushi has displayed immense skill while wielding Primordial Light and has better control over it than even Amaterasu, Izanagi and Celestial Princes (except Satan and Castiel). He is able to create constructs of Primordial Light that rival Erebus's primordial darkness.

**Indominatable Will**: Amenominakanushi has unnaturally strong willpower, enabling them to be resistant to *all* forms of temptation including Subordination Manipulation, Telepathy, Mind Control, and Subliminal Seduction. Through their will, the user can face great physical pain and psychological trauma and will refuse to surrender no matter how much the odds are stacked against them, possibly up to the point of cheating death and pushing themselves past their own limitations.

**Flight**: Amenominakanushi can float in mid-air with seemingly no effort.

## Equipment

**Heart of the Cosmos**: Amenominakanushi possesses the 'Heart' of Xadldir, a fragment of both Xadldir and Enigma which Enigma implanted into him after the Creation Wars. This is also the so-called 'special blessing' that Ameno received from God. It is what makes him unique amongst the Kotoamatsukami and it is also why he is the only suitable member who can become a vessel for Xadldir.

**Yamato Blade:** The Yamato Blade is the first katana in existence, crafted slowly over the course of viscious fights with the Primordial Entities. The raw materials consist of the celestial essence that was spilled from the wounds of his cosmic enemies. The blade can bend/cut space-time, as well as the higher dimensional constructs with ease. It was able to make deep cuts in Shishioka Yukine's Diablos Dragon Void armor. The Yamato is also one of the only weapons capable of directly harming a Pre-Existential such as Chaos or killing a Primordial-class being.

* **Primordial Cut: Chaos**: Amenominakanushi's strongest Cut. With a wide-winded swing, Amenominakanushi erases everything in front of him, cutting off all defenses. It may even be capable of bending away supernatural forces or Protogenos related to Chaos, as this Cut is based on the cut that Yamato made in Chaos during the Creation Wars.
* **Primordial Cut: Amatsu-Mikaboshi**: Amenominakanushi creates immense amount of pressure on the tip of his blade, distorting the area around himself and sucking in enemies towards the tip. The intense gravitational pressure is then released in a shockwave powerful enough to fracture Shishioka Yukine's ribs.
* **Primordial Cut: Chronos**: Amenominakanushi tracks the **Spectre** of his enemy. This Spectre is any past motion that the other person has taken ten seconds ago. A single Spectre can only appear for that long until it vanishes away. If that happens, Amenominakanushi would have to chase down the Spectre that appears afterwards. If he manages to get to it, he can preform a special slash that damages both the past and present of his enemy.
* **Primordial Cut: Nyarlathotep**: Amenominakanushi growls and preforms an instantenous flurry of slashes, removing any illusion from himself. The level of the illusion and the preformer is irrelevant.
* **Primordial Cut: Erebus**: Amenominakanushi dugs his sword in his shadow. The blade then slowly appears from a person of choice's shadow, allowing for a lethal sneak attack.
* **Primordial Cut: Satan**: Amenominakanushi absorbs any demonic energy/attack of a demonic being and uses it against his opponent.
* **Primordial Cut: Nyx**: Amenominakanushi's blade begins to glow dark with a night sky glimmer. The dark glow resonates with nearby darkness power, empowering the sword for a few seconds.
* **Primordial Cut: Bishamonten**: Beings who have absolute immunity in every way to cutting will still be cut by Yamato if their nature is deemed irredeamable.
* **Primordial Cut: Shishioka Yukine**: A dark female silhoutte appears behind Amenominakanushi as his sword is imbued in a pitch black fiery aura. For several seconds, all of Amenominakanushi's abilities become affiliated with Power of the Primordial Darkness. It is said that this is a blessing from his  little sister as a means to solidify their sibling-affection.
* **Primordial Cut: Issei Hyoudou**: Amenominakanushi's hope and determination empower the speed and power of his slashes significantly.
* **Judgement Cut**: Amenominakanushi sheathes his sword and compacts great amounts of cosmic energy that implodes and immediately appears on his opponent, cutting them and reality in a nanosecond flurry of cuts.
* **Rapid Slash**: Amenominakanushi preforms hard, rapid slashes while dashing towards and through his enemy in blinding speed.
* **Rising Star**: Amenominakanushi pins his opponent up in the air by spinning and slashing upwards.
* **Void Slash**: Amenominakanushi slashes the area with all his might, creating a hyper-electromagnetic wave that 'deletes' a portion of space-time.
* **Cut of the End**: Amenominakanushi sheathes and unsheathes his sword and preforms three thousand slashes around himself in less than a second. Space-time and reality is completely is completely and utterly shattered in his general vicinity and any previous attempts to warp it or control it are rendered useless.
* **Cosmic Blue Reaper of Darkness**: Amenominakanushi rears his sword back and pierces in a straight line, after which he begins to rapidly spin the sword alongside his body while releasing intense cosmic energy, becoming a drill that could tear through a Primordial-class being with ease. Since there's nothing the Yamato can cut through space-time and infinity and oblivion itself, this technique cannot be impeded by an outside force conventionally.
* **Nake, Benihime** (啼け紅姫, *Sing, Crimson Princess*; "*Scream*" in the English dub): This technique fires particularly strong and destructive crimson-colored energy blasts. The energy flows out of the blade and fires in the arc of the sword's swing. The technique is capable of taking on a point-blank blast from a Dragon God-level being by dissipating it with a blast of equal power. He can charge up this technique to deal considerably more damage but it was unable to cancel the blast from Hyoudou Issei while testing the Power of the Primordial Dream.

### Formerly

**Originating Heart of the Universe:** An ancestral divine force of pure Primordial Light. It is also the manifestation of the Kotoamatsukami's will and their most basic ideal: to protect Takamagahara. Amenominakanushi is the only one capable of controlling it to its full extend. However, the Originating Heart of the Universe was destroyed after the Kotoamatsukami were defeated and weakened to mortal beings.

* **Divine Protection**: If Amenominakanushi wills it, the Originating Heart can create a godly barrier that can encase the entire kingdom of Takamagahara. The barrier resonates with the Kami inside it, strengthening itself on their divinity.
* **Divine Vault**: The Originating Heart of the Universe countains the memory of all of Japan's treasures from the very moment they are crafted. He can summon any of the Regalia of Japan. He can only use two items at a time, however.
	+ **Amenonuhoko-no-Denrai-Shi**: **Amenonuhoko-no-Denrai-Shi** (lit.meaning *"Heavenly Jewelled Spear of the Ancestral Master"* ), also known as **Amenonuhoko**(天沼矛 or 天之瓊矛 or 天瓊戈 *"heavenly jeweled spear"*) is the name given to the spear in Shintoism used by Izanagi to raise the primordial land-mass, **Onogoro-shima**, from the sea. It is often represented as a naginata. It is also the most powerful and ancient weapon in the Shinto faction, exceeding even the Kusanagi in both notions by a large margin.
	+ **Shichishito** (七支刀 "Seven-Branched Sword"): The Seven Branched Sword is an spectral green sword of pure divine energy, crafted by Tian's greatest blacksmiths, under Acting Jade Emperor Xinwang's orders. It was sent to Korean ports and then to Japan and Takamagahara as a sacred gift to his former teacher Amenominakanushi. The Seven Branched Sword was given to Kuraokami, the Dragon God of Rain who resided in the Divine Sakura Tree. After he was mortally wounded by Ayaka Shikone, Kuraokami sealed himself within the Shichishito. Nowadays, besides Amenominakanushi and Benzaiten, no one uses this special sword. It's abilities allow the user to create wind knives that can cut apart the country of Japan ten times over even if the user is using a fraction of the sword's true power. One powerful slash creates an entire rainy storm and every rain drops tries to destroy the enemies within that storm's reach.
	+ **Uchide no Kozuchi** (打ち出の小槌 "Tap-Appear Mallet"): The **Uchide no Kozuchi** is a mystery wand, mostly used by Benzaiten to help her create uncommon shapes and forms for her art projects; such as a biscuit man ballerina, a tofu bodyworker figure. The Magic Mace basically grants any wish the wielder makes, but only as long as it doesn't throw reality out of order. To give an innate example of how the wand functions: Benzaiten said:'I wish Nyx wore a pink floral dress' and it happened, but when Nyx took the wand and wished 'Benzaiten to as a child', nothing happened.
* **Purification**: Amenominakanushi commands the Originating Heart to purify the entire area. It does so by sending out many pulsations that quickly break apart energies of demonic and umbra origin.
* **Star Blaze Inferno Armor** *(スターブレイズインフェルノアーマー Sutābureizuinferunoāmā)*: When Amenominakanushi gathers energy and the guiding Virtues of the Seven Fortune Deities, the armor of Inferno (called 白い輝煌帝 Shiroi Kikoutei or White Sun Emperor) (sometimes simply called the White Armor in the dub) forms around him. He gained the armor during the battle against Kami-Musubi and Amatsu-Mikaboshi. During the battle Amenominakanushi is overpowered and absorbed into Amatsu-Mikaboshi. He nearly gives up, but refusing to let his subjects down he breaks free, and gains the Inferno from the other Kami's virtues and defeats Amatsu-Mikaboshi. A draw for Amenominakanushi when using the Inferno armor is its toll on the user. The armor's power itself is legendary; at the peak of its power, it is said to be able to destroy an entire universe. When Amenominakanushi gained the armor, Kami-Musubi desired it to the point where he lost any interest in the other armors. This is also seen against Shishioka Yukine to fight on par with her Diablos Dragon Void. After the Originating Heart of the Universe was destroyed, Amenominakanushi no longer has access to this form.
	+ **Rage of the Galaxy**: Amenominakanushi rapidly spins with his sword whilst also releasing celestial energy, creating a sort of galactic spiral around himself. His massive gravitational pull forces his enemies to get closer to him. Once his spiral field looks exactly like the Milky Way, Amenominakanushi slashes in a full circle with all his might and releases the ginormous amount of celestial energy in all directions, completely eradicating all of his opponents.

## Quotes

* *"All things in heaven and earth have an original, great ancestral kami. Its name is Amenominakanushi no kami. It has no beginning and no end. It abides in the heavens above. It is furnished with the quality of producing all things within heaven and earth, but it acts not and is quiescent (it dwells in the so-called Plain of High Heaven from the original beginning), and it is sovereign over all existence."* - Hirata Atsune's description of Amenominakanushi.

* *"Grand revolution? Unseatting of a stagnant system? You are such a miserable little brat, Child of Evil. You're cursed and your love for the abomination you call 'mother' is misplaced.

* *"I would gladly stay by your side, my Queen...is what I would have said if I was a fool. You are playing on my pride, my hubris and my arrogance, but...I have been beaten enough times to know wat I truly am at the moment. So, unlike what you think, Amara, you don't know me at all. But I'd kiss your hand for opening my eyes just now. This mission wasn't about you. It was about me. And this meeting was nothing but God's test." –Amenominakanushi to Amara.*
* *"I...want to apologize. The same way God had locked his evil counterparts away, I always thought it necessary to do the same with you. But in the end...in the end, I was just a delusional fool who refused to accept you for what you are. I made the same mistake with Musubi and Takami, Kojisaki, too...and so many more. And because of that, there was the divide between my descendants and Yukine. I can't ignore your malevolent nature, but if you two are willing to be at least neutral, at least...I can end these petty feuds and accept you and Yukine as my family, too. Will that be alright with you...Mother?"* - Ameno makes amends with Amatsu-Mikaboshi and Shishioka Yukine.
* *"To be 'second-in-command' or second in general is not something to be ashamed of. You once told me, you couldn't stand being in my shadow. Then don't! Be your own Goddess and stop comparing yourself to me or Takami. The Kotoamatsukami are as different as the timelines in the Multiverse, but we are united in our desire to preserve something beautiful...something WE made! And every one of us contributes to it in their own way! So come back to us...come back to me, your brother." -* Ameno to Kami-Musubi.
* *"You, a human, have inherited the will of God? Many eons ago, I would've found it disgraceful...but the present me is not that kind of person.

I SHALL COMMIT SEPPUKU THIS INSTANT!" -* Ameno to Cao Cao.
* *"Using a sword isn't just about slashing and swinging a piece of refined steel. A sword is also more than just a tool. Once you get used to it, it must be a part of yourself, an extra limb. If you don't treat your sword like an extension of your being, you do not deserve to carry it."* - Ameno to Hyoudou Issei.
* *"I just...sorry, I may have taken a lot of my frustrations on Nyx for no reason a couple of times...There...there was a curse a long time ago, placed on me by someone I held dear. They're gone now, but the curse still lingers over me like a plague...My faction...My descendants...there's always been something that goes wrong with it...Kami-Musubi, Ayaka, Kuninotokotachi, Yukine, Izanami, Susanoo and Tsukuyomi and the Sengoku Era of the mortals...that doesn't even cover half of it, though...I-I tried to stop these things or fix them in some way...but I've usually just made it worse...I always fail...I'm a worthless god...and I decided to get angry at the least guilty person." -* Ameno to Hyoudou Issei and Benzaiten.
* *"Wisteria...it is a very popular flower in the Eastern World, Japan specifically. It's actually one of Benny's favourites...well, one of her 'Top 50'-s at the very least. Its lush, warm beauty symbolizes a lot of things. Things I've come to associate with you, Nyx. New-gained wisdom, bidding good luck, welcoming a newcomer, expressing one's affection or celebrating it-what? What's with that look...O-Oh no...T-This isn't a confession, you know! I am happily married! A-and besides, there's really no way I can fall for you...Anyways, I just wanted to say I'm grateful for opening my eyes to some things."* - Ameno thanking Nyx.

	+ *"What is, 'o you grand heavenly protector? Gonna tell me how disgusting my presence is, again?"* - C'thalpa to Amenominakanushi.
		- *"No. It's just...it...ugh...for an Outer God...I think...y-you are quite the sweetheart."* - Amenominakanushi to C'thalpa.
* *"Of course, your beauty is unmatched in the hundreds of realms of my good friend, Gautama-kun. You are an irresistable woman, nigh-perfect in every way, thus you are the perfect challenger for a Bodhisattva's resolve to strive forward."* - Amenominakanushi to Guanyin.
* *"If my love for Benzaiten wasn't genuine and infinite, I may have long fallen for your charms, most beautiful of the Bodhisattvas."* - Amenominakanushi to Guanyin.
* *"Failure is what makes us strong, Nyx. Losing one battle does not mean you are weak or incapable. Giving up or losing faith in yourself are the thoughts of a weakling. And if there is something that you find impossible to overcome...then simply ask for help. That's what you taught me, remember?"* - Amenominakanushi's advice to Nyx after her loss against Azathoth.

		- *"I just thanked you, you fool. Open up your many ear canals."* - Amenominakanushi to Cthulhu.
			* *"What is this nonsense?"* - Cthulhu.
				+ *"Apologies, this is no way for a warrior to act...It's just that, up until now, everytime I raised my blade and cut down an opponent, I never felt happy doing that. Only obliged and then relieved. Fighting is a preformance of duty. That's all it was to me...But if you've shown me that battles can also be something to be savored, enjoyed and devoured like a luxurios dish. I wish I fight guys like you more often. It's very stress-relieving."* - Amenominakanushi to Cthulhu.
* *"Harem? What a strange comment...It's true I have five sisters and my truest friends at the moment are mostly female, but I don't consider it a 'harem'. It's hard for me to see myself as the center of attention for a bunch of girls, given my 'workaholic' nature, as Benny puts it. I mean, what's so attractive about me? I'm just a god doing his duties."* - Ameno to Hyoudou Issei about his 'harem'.
* *"Your darkness swallowed up my light? Who decided that? My attacks can't reach you? Who decided that? Only I will decide such things! Die!"* - Ameno to Cthulhu.

* His height is [188cm] and [72kg].
* While much weaker than him later on in the story, Akashi Kyoya still respects Amenominakanushi as he considers him the most skilled combatant in the multiverses and one of the few weaker beings who he feels the need to overwhelm with raw power rather than combat techniques.
* Amenominakanushi is considered one of the characters with most rivals in the stories (Tian, Nyx, Kami-Musubi, Shishioka Yukine, Satan, Ayaka Shikone, Jesus Christ, Cthulhu and Destruction) which is the third most in all male characters.
* As a tribute song for this character, the author has chosen Bury the Light.
* Amenominakanushi is a concept that is derived from Myoken, a chinese war deity representing the star Ursa Minoris or the North Star, hence why one of his titles are 'Spirit of the North Star'. It is said that praying for the Spirit of the North Star emulates great success in battle.
* In one myth, Amenominakanushi and Amatsu-Mikaboshi are the same age and some even speculate that Amenominakanushi comes before Amatsu-Mikaboshi (though this aligns more with the theory that Amaterasu is the good aspect of the entity, while Amatsu-Mikaboshi is the bad aspect).
* Amenominakanushi's role as an antagonist may be compared to Akainu:

* He loves art, which is why he collects paintings.
* Amenominakanushi often suffers from workaholism. He constantly coughs when he overexerts himself.
