Noragami Season 2 Episode 7 'Slay' aired November 13, 2015 on MBS as the midpoint of Noragami Aragoto's Bishamon arc - the season Anime News Network praised for 'captivating art design and powerful depth of emotion.' IMDb audiences scored the series 7.8. The episode reaches the breaking point of the season's central conflict: the cost of Bishamon's devotion to her troubled shinki, and how a god's refusal to release what is poisoning her has damaged everyone around her. The revelation of what Bishamon has been protecting - and what it has cost her - is rendered with unusual precision for a shonen-adjacent series. Community reviewers consistently identify this as Aragoto's most emotionally loaded single hour, the moment the season's tragic weight becomes impossible to deflect.
