Oobami (better knows as Demon Lord Over-M for a disguise), the higher-up demons are posed to follow his political totalitarianism and make that ideology work. There is no shortage of powerful demons, but intelligent ones are far and few in-between, so for the lead group led by Dr. Alas, where there lies a yin, there must be a yang, and the demons equalize the Idatens in every regard. Ysley is truly balls-to-the-wall intelligent, I'd reckon that I can refer to him as their world's Albert Einstein. Paula is the same as Hayato, though she's forced to become like him because she is an Idaten in name only, and walks alongside Hayato in companionship. The former is a mix of both strength and intelligence, while the latter is this normal-looking boy who's quite brash and proud, and is one who've suffered most with Rin's unrelenting training sparring sessions, becoming the usual 'no-reason' Shonen-ish trope of a strong OP character to protect those who can't defend for themselves.

Starting off with the Idaten deities crew, Rin is the 800-year old Master Shifu Idaten who has crossed her life at doing the one sole, important job of not letting demons have their way, and she is OP by default, learning from the experiences of the elder gods who went before her. It's of no doubt that Amahara knows what his characters want to be, and is thoroughly exemplified through the manga and anime. It's quite the simple 'as molasses' story, but Cool-kyou Shinja's illustrations truly take the manga (and now the anime) to the next level. So, it's the conquest of the Idatens to finally have their purpose-driven life be served to give the demons a beating-down and wash, rinse, repeat the same commitment held for those 800 years of peace past. But as Magneto of X-Men once said: 'Peace Was Never An Option', and indeed, demons acted on that thanks to a nation known as the Zoble Empire, stacked full of demons at their disposal to wreak havoc at both mankind and the Idaten gods they pray to. Protecting this seal for 800 years has the Idaten gods rendered tiredness at their job, because their role is to eradicate demons, and since there're no demons to kill, they need to kill time somehow to remain for that one purposeful day, where demons have an uprising to prove their usefulness towards mankind once again. That story is told through Rin, a young 800-year old Idaten who has witnessed the battle between Idatens and demons, and sealing them on a vast desert statue/monument-like location so that the peacetime 'treaty' can be maintained for years and generations. If you couldn't get that scientific-level explanation, just remember this trait: a common shared desire between beings thirsting for abilities that would help defend those worth living a life.

As a result, the personality of one who draws the newly chosen Idaten has a certain level of degree of influence shapen from the summoner. Combine that with MAPPA's production that animation-wise, looks identical to Jujutsu Kaisen and the visuals full of psychedelia, Idaten is grotesque, rapey, and in all ways condescending, but to stomach all those, and you'll see an experimentation show like no other (well, count Dorohedoro one as well).Ī deity, or an Idaten in this matter, is made out of these things: Adding your own thoughts to a nascent existence in order to shorten the amount of time required for manifestation. And damn is Idaten-tachi such an uncanny, other-worldly anime, if not already hinted by both Amahara and Cool-kyou Shinja's expressions of interest at weird-looking demon and deities with the same aforementioned traits from the series they've worked on, much less all the fast-paced frenetic action.

direction, Idaten tells the story of humans and demons co-existing in a fictionous world where demons drive mankind nuts, only to have literate gods in the form of deities called 'Idatens' for humans to pray for salvation and extinction upon their kind, and attain peace for an exchange. Announced as one of many shows at the MAPPA Stage 10th Anniversary event under debut director Seimei Kidokoro's Written by Amahara, illustrated by Cool-kyou Shinja (of which this is the 3rd work of 3 featured in this season, damn this author is rekting the Summer season hard) and produced by MAPPA. What, you still cannot figure out what sets Heion Sedai no Idaten-tachi a.k.a 'The Idaten Deities Know Only Peace' apart? Then go figure and find your own peace treaty in a wild wonderland world.

This show is the reason why 3 of the most notable entities exist: Interspecies Reviewers, Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, and MAPPA.
