The Eight Thunder Gods (八雷神, Hachiraishin) are a group of humanoid Shuuki that refer to themselves as "Gods" and act as the primary antagonists of Mato Seihei no Slave.
Overview[]
The Eight Thunder Gods, otherwise known as the Hachiraishin, are a group of eight powerful and intelligent beings that are capable of manipulating the Shuuki and all other living things within Mato. There current objective is to drive humanity into ruin and are in direct opposition to the Anti-Demon Corps, who serve as humanity's protectors.
Synopsis[]
Strength[]
While their strength differs from one another, each member is extremely powerful, capable of taking down several members of the Anti-Demon Corps at once and going toe-to-toe with the Unit Chief, if not surpass them after getting serious. Each member also seems to be able to transform into a "second form" that alters their appearance and drastically increases their power.
Kuusetsu is the only member that required food in order to hatch. She can gain additional power by absorbing individuals with abilities but there seems to be a limit to the number of people that can be devoured. She was also able to master Mira's ability right after devouring the Unit Chief and utilized it with dexterity.
Members[]
Currently, all the members of the Eight Thunder Gods have been revealed.
At first, Shikoku seemed to be the leader of Jouryuu, Rairen, and Kuusetsu, but each member can act however they want. However, Taikyoku has all but shown herself to be superior to Shikoku, and make contact with their "Mother", making her the de facto leader.
Devotees[]
Devotees are the loyal foot soldiers of the Thunder Gods. Formerly human, they surrendered their humanity in exchange for great power.
Upon Kuusetsu's apparent death, the remaining Thunder Gods decided to allow the most accomplished Devotee(s) to be promoted to the title of Thunder God to fill the vacant spot.

Trivia[]
- Shikoku and Jouryuu love human's entertainment, as they were seen playing video games.
- In Shintoism, the Eight Gods of Thunder are eight kami who inhabit the land of Yomi, each embodying an aspect of a thunder. They are seen crawling on Izanami's body (each on a different part of her body) when her husband comes to pick her up in Yomi. During his escape, Izanagi scares them off by taking an imposing stance in the Kojiki and throwing peaches at them in the Nihongi.
- The mysterious "Mother" that Taikyoku talks about in chapter 86 could actually be a reference to Izanami.
