↑ "Yamai: The only common principle of the Polytheistic forces is to defeat YHVH. I also wanted to add some conflicts among the Divine Powers, but had to cut those parts. Miyata: You can see some traces of that in Odin’s case, like when he suggests each soul be equally split. Yamai: Inanna is worshipped as a mother goddess and this time she is portrayed especially as a symbol of fertility, being the mother of various gods. I think she is attached to this idea of having multiple children. The group ideology of the Divine Powers is not united like the Japanese opposition government (laughs), but changes when it’s convenient to them, and there are also moments when Krishna and the others make use of it as they like. There might also be demons who give up and join the Divine Powers, like simple party members who normally only vote in presidential elections. There are also many individual forces who aren’t monotheistic, but aren’t clearly opposed to the polytheistic forces either, and they’d rather wait and see what happens to the Divine Powers, like the trickster of Norse mythology, Loki."
