The Prosperity of SAGA

Saga's Prosperity (佐賀の繁栄, Saga no han'ei) is the supernatural force that opposes the curse of Saga. Prosperity manifests as objects with purification properties.

Origins
Like its counterpart, Saga's Curse. The prosperity would have been born in response to Saga's quest for immortality.

Description
The prosperity of Saga is the opposite of Saga's curse. While Saga's curse seeks to end Saga, and thus Jofuku, prosperity seems to be the force that keeps Saga and Jofuku alive. Both forces are two sides of the same coin and seek to define the future of Saga through their actions in the human world.

Prosperity can occur in places where there are many crowds of people, or places that may be prosperous in the future. It can also manifest in those who have the strength to decide their own destiny to save Saga, but it is they themselves who define their future.

It has not been shown thus far to take or manifest any known physical form, but is capable of manifesting its power through Hyodo Farm Onions.

Skills

 * Misogi—This is a Japanese Shinto ritual purification practice. Misogi is related to another Shinto purification ritual called Harae, which is why both are collectively called Misogiharae. The Hyodo twins have the particularity of having this purification power, and together with the onions from their farm, they seal the curses called Sagako.

Tools

 * Onions—Not only humans, elements like onions can be blessed and used to seal curses.

Presence
There are several suspiciously supernatural events that don't fit Saga's curse modus operandi, but are oddly convenient for characters looking to save Saga.

Season 1

 * Episode 5—Sunlight prevents the audience from watching Tae's body crumbling in midair.

Season 2

 * Episode 13—When Kotaro leaves the Bar New Jofuku to look for Franchouchou at Geils Live House, he comes to some streets where the pedestrian traffic lights turn green, giving Kotaro free passage.
 * Episode 18—Tae going out to buy the food and ending up with a series of good luck events that ends up making her win a 666.7:1 bet on a boat race to get Franchouchou out of their 20 million yen debt caused by Kotaro.
 * Episode 22—Kotaro avoids being crushed by Wintos.
 * Episode 24—Clearing the weather for the EFS concert when that same morning the day was cloudy and rainy.

Blessings

 * Saga Sagako Busters:
 * Yuko Hyodo—Yuko had a great deal of Misogi power, but gradually weakened in her fight against Sagako until she was finally encased in an onion alongside another Sagako. Inside the onion, she manages to communicate with the Sagako and part of her feelings manages to pass on to these beings thanks to the purification ritual.
 * Tae Yamada—In chapter 16 it is revealed that her good luck is an indirect result of merging with Magatsuhi, God of Calamities. Tae's body acted like an onion, purifying and sealing Magatsuhi within her. The purification would have caused Magatsuhi's power to cause misfortune to reverse, giving Tae extreme good luck. This is only seen with her zombie state, saving Franchouchou on several occasions and being of great help in an indirect way.
 * Franchouchou:
 * Kotaro Tatsumi—He seems to be protected against the direct effects of the curse and seems to discreetly use his good luck to benefit Franchouchou at his concerts constantly.

Trivia

 * Like the curse, it is possible that prosperity can manifest its own beings, as well as the curse with the Sagako. This currently seems to be a distant reality, since prosperity manifests its power through people or objects.
