I read yesterday that someone in an interview (probably Eshiro or the director) said that they straight up wanted to make Amaterasu a baby. So yeah, they admitted it's pretty much the point! Even the new Brush Gods have babies. What the hell is in the Celestial Plain's water, how do they reproduuuuce?

Ah, was that comic made during October? I saw a bunch of Waka-hugging-Kurou when the character was shown, and assuming before the game was out that it was his son, but it was speculation at that point. However, if it was specifically marked as spoilers... :o Wow, now I am more curious about this mess. *looks for Deal With It gifs and pills for future ulceras*
