While Chouji's mother fell ill, she remained in clear conscience and was relatively healthy compared to others affected, which Yasumoto suspects was caused by the Tatarigami's energy 'flowing freely inside of her' instead of corrupting her. Some people show particular resistance to the Tatarigami's corruption, although the phenomenon is not understood. Psychological effects include auditory hallucinations and insanity notably, people's auditory hallucinations primarily revolving around an unknown god addressed as 'Him.' While raving about how Chouji's mother will not escape 'Him,' Washizu describes this god as having 'eighteen pairs of blood-red eyes! Thousands of sharp, venomous fangs! Countless mouths and numberless tongues, ever thirsting after blood!' In the Lost Text at Fort Mumei, the author writes down his hallucinatory experiences, in which he describes witnessing 'three teeth' which had 'something black ooz out of them' as well as seeking some kind of treasure, before finally 'melting into 'his' whisperings.'

Physical effects include random unstoppable bleeding from orifices, fevers, constant migraines, rashes, as well as dizziness and weakness. Įxposure to Tatarigami typically causes mysterious, untreatable illnesses in humans, although the effects are mitigated for Vision-bearers or those with another form of elemental sensitivity.

Īreas affected by the Tatarigami experience perpetual thunderstorms, and plants grown in contaminated soil will wither away.

The Tatarigami spawned from Orobashi's will and power after Raiden Ei slew it on Yashiori Island towards the end of the Archon War.
