History[]
In the past, Takashi Matsubara had met Yatouji at Kogakusha's party, although Yatouji did not remember the encounter.
Yatouji first appears in episode 8 where he was brought, along with Shunma Suruga, a.k.a Chika Ohsawa, where the two were initially unable to understand the situation; in Yatouji's case, he believes that the police were simply giving him nonsense. When meeting Yuya Mirokuji, Yatouji had mistaken Yuya to be a fan that was cosplaying as Yuya. After when Yuya summoned Hangaku, Yatouji had a better understanding of the situation. Yatouji was apparently forced to answer Yuya's questions.
Relationships[]
Yuya Mirokuji[]
Yuya, while not angry at his creator, wanted to meet his creator and ask him some questions, especially in regards to who had framed Yuya for murder. When Yuya meets Yatouji, Yuya expresses his disappointment and states that Selesia Upitiria's god is a "million times better" than Yatouji.
Shou Hakua
After eventually learning that Yuya was merely framed for murder, by the fortune teller that gave Bayard to Shou, Shou had immediately shifted his target of vengeance to his own creator who Shou blames for all of the tragedies and hardships in Shou's life. However, Yuya manages to convince Shou that their real enemy is the fortune teller, that tricked them into killing each other, and their creator merely "wrote the story." In the end, Shou, along with Yuya, managed to peacefully say goodbye to their creator as the two returned to their own world.
