Yo, the struggling minor god, reminds me so much of my uncle Jerry. He always had these grand plans to open a themed restaurant, "Jerry's Jungle Jamboree," complete with animatronic monkeys and a volcano that erupted nacho cheese. Just like Yo, he was constantly battling setbacks, like the health inspector shutting down his "primordial soup" buffet or the monkeys short-circuiting during a kids' birthday party. Uncle Jerry's dreams, though admirable, were often hilariously misguided, just like I suspect Yo's will be. I hope Yo has better luck than my uncle, who ended up selling discount pool supplies. This video definitely brings back memories!

This whole "minor god" struggling with menial tasks thing really hits home. I’m a freelance writer, and most days, I feel less like a creative genius and more like a glorified typist, wrestling with writer’s block, chasing late payments, and trying to explain to my grandma why I don't have a “real job.” It’s a constant hustle, just like I imagine it is for Yo, trying to make a name for himself in the crowded pantheon of deities. The only difference is, I don’t have a disgruntled servant. I have a disgruntled cat, which is arguably worse. I'm hoping Yo finds his breakthrough moment, and maybe, just maybe, I will too.

This "soul-swapping" thing has me hooked! It reminds me of that time in high school when I accidentally wore my brother’s shirt to school. It was a total fashion disaster, but it felt strangely liberating to walk a mile in someone else's (oversized, stained) shoes, even if just for a day. I can only imagine the chaos and comedy that would ensue from swapping souls with a literal god. The possibilities are endless! Who knows, maybe Yo will finally learn how to fold his laundry correctly, or Hiori will ace her next math test with divine intervention. 😉

The “disgruntled servant” character is a walking red flag for me. It screams lazy writing. Are we seriously still relying on this tired trope? It’s just a cheap way to inject humor without actually developing the character or the story. Why not explore the complexities of the god-servant relationship in a meaningful way? It has the potential to be a powerful dynamic, but instead, it’s reduced to a running gag about bad coffee and overdue laundry. This just feels like a missed opportunity for some genuine storytelling.
