In Noragami, Shinki is a spirit who serve the gods. They are usually used as weapons or sacred treasures to aid the gods in battle.
Shinki were originally lost and aimless spirits. They were then given names by the gods. Uniquely, they have two names: one in human form and one in weapon form.
There are so many powerful and interesting Shinki in the story of Noragami. So, who is the strongest? Check out the full discussion below!
10. Akiha
First, there's Akiha, the sacred treasure of Bishamonten. He appears as a friendly old man. He can transform into a knife when Bishamonten calls him "Shūki."
Akiha is often used by Bishamonten for close-quarters combat. However, his powers are less prominent than Bishamonten's other sacred treasures.
9. Kazuha & Karuha
Kazuha and Karuha are brother and sister who are Bishamonten's sacred treasures. They look identical and are still very young. They both have the ability to transform into a pair of pistols.
In their gun form, Kazuha is called Sūki and Karuha is called Gaiki. Both are capable of unleashing powerful shots at enemies. However, their attacks are more accurate when supported by Kazuma.
8. Kuraha
While sacred treasures usually take the form of objects or weapons, Kuraha is a unique case. She can transform into a ferocious lion when Bishamonten calls him Kinki.
Kuraha is usually ridden by Bishamonten in battle. Not only that, Kuraha can also fight independently. He can use his claws or fangs to attack opponents or ayakashi.
7. Kinuha
Like the previous sacred treasures, Kinuha also serves Bishamonten and is often used in battle. In human form, she looks like a beautiful young woman with a mature demeanor.
Kinuha's name in weapons form is called Jinki. She can transform into a whip that can reach enemies in long-range combat. Her whip attacks are very powerful and can be dangerous when combined with Kazuma's powers.
6. Nora
Nora is a wild treasure with many masters. She is very dangerous and often incites Yato to use her. She also has many names and can transform into various weapons.
For example, Yato once named her Hiiro and Hiki, which can transform into a tachi sword. She also has another name from Rabō, Furuhime, and Reiki, which takes the form of a sharp katana.
5. Yugiha
Yugiha is one of the strongest sacred treasures of Bishamonten. He appears to be an innocent and soft-spoken young man. However, he can transform into a powerful-looking sword when Bishamonten summons him Saiki.
Yugiha admits that he is unable to control his powers well. Without Kazuma's support, he would be nothing more than a destructive weapon capable of causing damage in the battlefield.
4. Kiun
The next strongest sacred weapon is Kiun, who serves the god Takemikazuchi. His name in weapon form is Ōki. He can transform into a lightning dragon that can soar through the sky.
Kiun's power is quite fearsome, as he can unleash thunderous lightning strikes. He demonstrated this when Takemikazuchi planned to punish Ebisu, who had committed a serious offense.
3. Daikoku
Next, there's Daikoku, who serves as Kofuku's sacred treasure. He looks like an old man and enjoys taking care of household chores. He is generally kind-hearted, but he tends to be rude to Yato.
When called by the name Kokki, Daikoku transforms into a black fan. He can unleash a powerful wind attack capable of opening the gates of Hell.
2. Kazuma
Next, there's Kazuma, who is Bishamonten's aide and ultimate sacred treasure. He possesses unwavering loyalty to his master. Furthermore, he deeply respects Yato because he owes him a great debt.
As a sacred treasure, Kazuma is called Chōki. He can transform into an earring, usually worn by Bishamon. At first glance, he may seem weak and useless. However, he is able to maximize the power of the other Sacred Treasures in battle.
1. Yukine
Yukine, also known as Sekki, is a sacred treasure who serves Yato. He is young and often gets Yato into trouble. Despite this, he possesses a strong sense of loyalty to Yato.
According to Yato, Yukine has great potential as a sacred treasure. This is demonstrated when he transforms into a sacred treasure. He can transform into a pair of swords capable of unleashing devastating slashes on enemies.
