“	Like you've said, I've indeed killed a person before. But you see, God has told me... That if I can fulfill my role, My sins can be erased!	”
— Hanako explaining his reason for being a School Mystery to Minamoto Kou

God, or Kami-Sama (神様, Kami-Sama^?) is a character that is so far only mentioned by Hanako in Jibaku Shounen Hanako-Kun. Based from what Hanako has said about it throughout the series, it has given Hanako a second chance to atone for his sins by performing his duty as Hanako-San of the Toilet, the leader of the Seven Mysteries, and remove the Yorishiros of those who have gone astray, so that his wish may be granted.

Overview

So far in the series, Kami-Sama is only mentioned by Hanako, and no other characters, even supernatural ones have never mentioned about Kami-Sama in detail. What is known of the character so far is that it gave Yugi Amane the role of "Hanako" and to destroy all the Yorishiro in order for him to atone for all his sins, especially his murder of his brother Yugi Tsukasa.

In the Pilot, Hanako has the same reasons as in the main series, however everytime he "breaks the rules", a sharp cut is added to his wrist which causes him to bleed. After saving Yashiro Nene from a transforming monster, he received his seventh stroke. This causes Hanako to not continue his interactions with Nene, for a time that is.

Personality

Main Series

For the most part, Kami-Sama can be understood as your typical Benevolent and Almighty God or at least, a powerful God put in charge of the Seven Mysteries that gave Yugi Amane a chance at redemption by giving him the role of "Hanako-san of the Toilet", the leader of the Seven Mysteries, and telling him that if he fulfills his role, he will be forgiven of all his sins. In fact, this very commission from Kami-Sama is what drives Hanako to fulfill his function as No.7 and the Leader of the Seven Mysteries for the whole story.

But an interesting yet suspicious note is that in Chapter 61, Hanako mentions to the other School Mysteries that even if a little supernatural infestation of Kamome Gakuen were to happen, that would be something even Kami-Sama would forgive, implying that to some extent, Kami-Sama is ok with the Seven Mysteries sometimes allowing the Supernatural to flood to the Near Shore at times or simply does not care about it enough to negatively respond to it. This eventually did happen in Chapter 104 as a result of the Broadcasting Club utilizing posters made by Shijima Mei that produced petals that then attached themselves to one's eyes and transform them into plant-like supernaturals when the time came, all to serve as a distraction so that Natsuhiko can approach the Big Clock at The Sealed Auditorium.

A chapter later, the Big Clock breaks due to NNatsuhiko's blood, and stops the entirely of time for the school. But despite this, Kami-Sama didn't seem to act out or punish everyone involved, instead it was Kako and Mirai who acted on the disaster and changed the timeline into a new one so as to ensure that the supernatural infestation and subsequent time stop never happened. Even with that clear interference and changing of the timeline, Kami-Sama seemed to not have punished Kako and Mirai on that one and instead seemed to roll with it, provided it wasn't affected by the timeline being changed.

Pilot

As seen in the Pilot, Kami-Sama is far more stern with Hanako, as when he gave Yashiro Nene more than two wishes after saving her from a transforming supernatural, he was punished by having a large cut on his wrist, which made him bleed in the process. Then it is seen that he had committed six prior offences before, thus the latest one was his seventh.

Trivia

• It is currently unknown which kind of God Kami-Sama is. It may be the general concept or notion of a God or Supreme Being, or in JSHK's Japanese setting, it could be a lesser but still powerful divine being or a group of powerful deities who are responsible for organizing the Seven Mysteries as a whole.
  • While not related to Japan, a general Western Understanding of God as an Almighty Being is not far off, as the Seven Mysteries seem to be imperfect representations of universal or essential aspects that relates to a positive godly attribute (In the superlative sense), such as Time, which is related to God's Eternity, Space, which is related to God's Omnipresence, and Knowledge("Records"), which is related to God's Omniscience. These are aspects that are more or less associated or quantified to such a entity as God.
• Given that both Kami-Sama, Hanako, Yugi Tsukasa and The Entity all share the same goal (The destruction of all the Yorishiro), and both Hanako and Tsukasa having spent their childhood in the Red House, where The Entity resided below, as well as Kami-Sama's seemingly nonchalant attitude towards a potential supernatural infestation of Kamome Gakuen and the Near Shore, and towards Kannagi Sacrifices, like what Hakubo attempted to do, it is possible that The Entity IS Kami-Sama Himself playing both sides so that its goal is more likely to be fulfilled.
