Cracked not broken. That was a difference, if a small one. Ayakashi were the monsters here, the ones gods needed shinki to fight. Their vessel forms are damaged, but otherwise they are fine. Probably hard to tell from the rest of the population and yet given their own distinct category. Not whole but still useful.

It's worth knowing. "Ebisu is an old god?" That seemed to be what Ginia had said earlier, those in the suits were Ebisu and his shinki, she seemed to imply he was not 'their generation'.
