[So first there are god shadows, then being shadows makes them not really gods because they're too weak - this is going around in circles a bit much for Shun's liking, and the rather disillusioned look he's wearing does not help.]

Decide what you mean, then. If the shadows are gods, if the people are gods, if the gods as shadows are too weak to be gods - pick one or at least stay with it long enough to explain it more than on the surface. Hell, with what you just said about our "gods" just being people with shadows, you sound like you're saying those people become shadows to later people by virtue of being "gods".

[Are the shadows representative of that god, or does some random shadow just pop up that's not really a god but took on the name of one for what it's done? This is ridiculous and it's barely relevant to him anyway, so he's not even sure why he's arguing it.

Still, the point of war is one he'll stick with.] Assuming a "glove" means something different as well, giving some prodigal kid a god seems like something that could backfire easily. Would you even want to imagine someone like Akaba Reiji at that age with something like that?
