Can a god have more than one blessed vessel?


Short answer, yes.

I would say that it is possible for a god to have more than one hafuri,
because to be a hafuri only means to attempt to sacrifice one's name for their
master. I don't believe there is a limitation on that, however as far as I
know there can only be one exemplar/guidepost. Exemplars and blessed vessels
are different though (as Takemikazuchi reminds us frequently).

In one arc ( **warning: manga spoiler!** ),
