Bakugou tries not to roll his eyes, because to be fair to Ginia, she has no way of having known this already...but it's still tedious to listen to her explaining this to him. "I am Japanese," he says impatiently, once her phone finishes. (Not like there'd have been a point interrupting it.) "But you missed two important points there, right?" He ticks them off on his fingers. "One, if these new gods are kami in the Shinto style, it should be easy enough to create them. Humans do that shit all the time. We ought to be overrun with them at this point, if all the cult has to do is focus belief to create a god. Two, you forgot that Shinto beliefs say that humans become kami when they die...which isn't how shit works in the Far Shore. The spirits that get tapped to become shinki are dead humans, right? They sure as hell aren't kami. So I'd say that how things work here in this world and how things work under Shinto beliefs don't exactly match up. Maybe some rules apply and some rules don't, but clearly which ones do or don't is arbitrary, so I dunno what we're supposed to get from that. We obviously can't just go by how Shinto says things work."

He folds his arms, scowling at the ground. "If the cult gets taken out...then yeah, maybe there'll be some fireworks in the heavens. How long do you think that cult took to set up? To get to a point that they're a legit threat to the heavens? This fucker's been playing a long game. They've probably got some fallback plan already in place...maybe more than one."
