Yato’s Phone Number
Something that’s changed in the latest chapter is Yato’s phone number. Up until now, it’s been represented with meaningless symbols such as in chapter 1:
But in chapter 53, the number is now a legitimate phone number:
This is because this number is actually being used as a promo for the second season, according to the ad in this month’s magazine:
You can hear Yato’s voice before the premiere of season 2! Can “Yato’s Phone” reach over 1 million calls?! 080-0919-8100 (toll free!) *Please note that 050 numbers or calls from overseas will not connect
You might also note that there’s some small text above the phone number. Japanese numbers can be read as certain letters, sort of like how American phone numbers associate letters with certain numbers on the phone keypad, except in this case, the pronunciation of the number matches a letter.
Yato’s phone number actually spells ku(9)-i(1)-ku(9)-ya(8)-to(10), or “quick Yato”. His new phone number is literally 1-800-QUICK-YATO.
