What happens to gods with no regalias?


What happens to gods without a regalia? I am writing a blog and want to know
for details. I know Yato mentions it but i can't remember!




I don't think this as been addressed in the anime, but I imagine gods have to
fight off things to stay alive and uncorrupted. Remember that purple painful
skin after a god touches a monster? Well, that needs to be avoided.

Without a weapon (regalia), if fast enough, a god can just run away or dodge
attacks to avoid any danger. Yato was pretty strong on his own and his
opponents were surprised by his personal abilities on multiple occasions.

But it is a god's duty to protect the human world (Near Shore) from the
creatures of Far Shore, and only running away makes them pretty useless for
this cause. Bad creatures will be left to trouble people and other gods, which
might result in bad reputation, and furthermore additional hostility from gods
and humans. People's prayers would not be answered (at least those involving
bad creatures) and remember that "supergod commitee" which got pretty pissed
off at one point and tried to destroy a fellow god for doing what they thought
was wrong without investigating too much. Wouldn't wanna risk that.
