Background

The Celestials lived a harmonious life on the Celestial Plain. But this peace was interrupted by an attack from the great demon Orochi and its endless legion of demons. Waka tried to help the Celestials escape by boarding them onto the Ark of Yamato. However, not long after setting sail, the Celestials were massacred by another endless legion of demons from the depths of the ark, led by Yami.

Ōkami

As Amaterasu boards the Ark of Yamato after freeing it from the perpetual ice of Laochi Lake, she met the remaining spirits of four Celestials, Marco, Hakuba, Sado and Azumi. They told her about the events that had occurred, from the attack that devastated the Celestial Plain, the Ark of Yamato Genocide to the recent rise of darkness. They faded away one by one and passed on, removing the last trace of Celestials from the universe.Template:Spoiler End

Trivia

  • Despite their Japanese name (天神, Tenjin) referring to the celestial beings of Shinto and Buddhist mythology, their appearance is rather that of the iconic Christian angel. For these, Japanese use the term Tenshin (天使).
