Hi everyone I always wondered why Yato gave Yukine this exact name…
So when I re-reed Noragami volume 12, I noticed that Sakura’s real name was Tamanone and this name means (“pearl” + “sound”) I didn’t notice it earlier but her real name ends with “-ne”. Sakura was very important in Yato’s life so maybe he wanted to memorize it.
He’s always thinking about her when he see the cherry blossoms… ToT
so maybe the “-ne” clan is dedicated to Sakura’s memory. We know two shinki whose names end with “-ne” Tomone and Yukine. And that can make sense because Nora got the name Hiiro before Yato met Sakura and her name doesn’t end with “-ne”
(she doesn’t belong to the Yato clan)
Bye bitch
Ok sorry let’s get to the topic
And why “Yuki” this is easy and probably anyone who read or watched noragami know it “Yuki” means “snow” And he, as a pure soul, looked like a snowflake and on that day it was snowing so it was a big inspiration for Yato to give him that name.
I am also very curious about Yukine’s past and his real human name, but I’m afraid of my baby, so it’s better that he doesn’t know it. I really love Yukine’s name.
