WARNING: the following contains spoilers for Episode 9 of The Day I Became a God, now streaming on FUNimation.
Hina/Odin Sato is not what she seems. One day during summer break, she met Yota Narukami and claimed that the world will end in 30 days, but this was no ordinary Ragnarok she was talking about. It's her own world that is about to end, and Yota is just now facing the truth. So far, Hina (going by the name Odin) lived up to her oath to help Yota and his friends enjoy their last 30 days on earth, from helping a struggling ramen stand to bringing peace to the grieving Kyoko Izanami and her father. Now, however, Hina's internal countdown clock is approaching zero, and she can't deny what's coming.
The Greedy World Of Adults
Third parties have a keen interest in Hina Sato and the secrets she carries, including a sharp-minded CEO and her hacker minion, the talented boy Suzuki. For a couple of weeks now, Suzuki has been on Hina's and Dr. Korogi's tail, digging deeper into the truth behind Hina's inexplicable omniscience and her claims of Ragnarok. Suzuki is a little bitter about it, though. Flashbacks make it clear that he was exploited since childhood when his criminal-minded parents made him hack bank accounts and commit other crimes for their benefit. The moment Suzuki resisted them, he was struck and yelled at, and he grew deeply resented the greedy adult world his parents represented. He was a tool to them, and now he's a tool to the CEO.
Now that Suzuki's done his job, the greedy adults are tossing him aside once again. All they want is power and control, evidently, and the only love Suzuki for his talents. Suzuki's aghast at what's unfolding. The CEO is using her new information to go after Hina and the ultra-advanced quantum computer chip in her brain, a prize that the powers that be don't want to lose. Suzuki has had a change of heart; he uses his information networking abilities to reach out to Hina via her brain chip and warns her of what is coming. He also shows her that higher-ups are voting to reclaim Hina's chip by force. There's no time to lose.
The Fond Summer We Shared
Elsewhere, Yota and Odin are busy acting for Sora Narukami's student film, but then the rain moves in, and everyone gets soaked. At that same moment, Hina tenses up, and her mind is being flooded with Suzuki's dire warnings. Hina can clearly see video recordings of the people voting to reclaim her chip, and sure enough, three men in dark suits and shades arrive, and it's clear that they are not the police. Yota's friends try to hold them off and protect Hina, and Yota takes Hina's hand and runs off with her through the rain.
Hina stops, and she tells Yota that there's no use in escaping. She doesn't even see why they're running, so Yota earnestly explains that he wants to protect her at all costs since he's grown so fond of her as a friend. He greatly cherishes the summer that they shared together, and Hina feels the same way, now that Yota mentions it. They embrace, and Yota gets torn away from his friend when the suited men catch up and force him to the ground in submission. They're about to take Hina away, and all Yota can do is watch. Yota now knows the truth about Hina's condition, but he doesn't care. Wuantum chips or not, Logos Syndrome or not, Hina is his dear friend, and that's why he's wailing in dismay as the suited men finally drag off their prize. Isn't there anything Yota can do to stop Hina's horrible fate?
