"Subspace"/"Demiplane" in the Anime
"Subspace" or "Demiplane" (
It has turned into a fertile land, acting as the base for Makoto & Co., who have built a town inside it called "Mist Town" (蜃気楼都市, Shinkirō toshi).
Background[]
Originally a void alternate space, Shin would use it to trap her opponents. To access the space, Shin used her mist as an intermediary gates. Its size is based on the amount of magic power. Inside Subspace, Shin had the ability to limit the usage of magic of the people trapped inside and can also bend the laws of physics. Also for some reason, Shin's body is detached from it, so any damage in there won't affect her real body.
After Tomoe's pact with Makoto, the alternate space changed not only in size, but it transformed into a whole different land complete with its own ecology and environment, which is similar to that of Earth, mainly because of Makoto's influence. Also, with each new pact that Makoto forms, the environment expands and new ecology is added. The size of Subspace also increases with every increase in Makoto's powers (though ecology and environment isn't changed in this case).
It is the home base of the Kuzunoha Company.
God's Gift[]
- Sea: A gift of Susanoo where he expanded the territorial dispute of Subspace. A pure white sandy beach with a pleasant scent and waves of water. A whole space of water and the horizon that can be seen from afar. [1]
- Tree: A gift of Athena. It is known as the Socotra Dragon Tree written as 'Dragon Blood Tree (竜血)'. According to Makoto, it originally grows in places close to where people who hold beliefs towards that God are. It has a mushroom-shape, it's size is huge and it is taller than the ones normally seen by people. The sap that comes out from the trunk is deep red, and serves as medicine. It is not only used as an ointment but it also has a trait of hardening in the rain to be used as a pill as well. [2]
- Shrine/Temple: Shinto Shrine gifted by Daikokuten, Buddhist Temple gifted by Susanoo and Pathelogy Temple gifted by Athena. [3]
Vegetation[]
Park of the Trees[]
The Park of Trees or Garden of Trees, is an area whose vegetation and fauna, unlike the normal vegetation of the surroundings, has a certain type of self-awareness, created equally from Makoto's many influences, when making his contract with his first servants. This area of the Demiplane has apparently normal vegetation, at the level of vegetables and certain fruits, with the exception of Bananas, with their special trees, which inside, have the "Lacquer" or "varnish", to be able to make the arts and kitchen utensils, among other things.
What makes this area stand out, unlike the rest of the environment and vegetation of the Demiplane, is that it has its own consciousness, close to that of a person, which is present in the part layer that makes up the place, being able to perform multiple different actions, and responding in different ways to those who enter their domain, in a neutral, passive, way or with hostility:
In a neutral and passive way, the park remains calm and normal, but when several or many people enter it, if these people are accompanied by people that the park "sees" are good, such as servants/contracts, the Park will remain aloof from everything, but in a subtle way and without prior notice, it will remove and convert any type of weapon that visitors bring with them, turning it into fauna vegetation.
Benevolent Relationship:[]
In a benevolent and generous way, the garden of trees offers its help, protection and so on, to those it considers good people, to its liking or who agree to allow its passage. Sometimes you can even transmit your feelings with those you like, and other things such as;
- Misumi Makoto: He considers him as his lord and master, as Makoto is responsible for his creation, giving him all kinds of things that the protagonist wants or senses he needs, even if Makoto does not ask for them, in a generous and kind way.
- Komoe: The park has good terms of relationship with Komoe, treating it in a somewhat similar way, as with Makoto, allowing her to walk and wander around the park, without problems.
- Carol: Given Makoto's approval of her wood craftsmanship, Carol has the "blessing" of the trees who speak to her and wish her to work with their wood.
Hostile Relationship:[]
In a hostile and aggressive manner, the Park responds in a very dangerous way, trying to immobilize, to the point of actually wanting to kill, any person who enters its domains, that the park of trees don't consider him as a good person, or that not obtains his approval to cross, regardless of your race or gender as such. This action causes anything vegetative in the park, from fruits, trees, even its atmosphere, to become extremely dangerous for those who enter the place and try to harm it. That was and still is the cas with the Forest Ogres, and some Hyumans like Lime and Keema.[4]
Native Species[]
Since the creation of the Demiplane, not only have things been created at the level of habitat, water, land, flora and fauna similar to those that Makoto remembers from his world, but also the formation of life itself at the animal. Each animal, unlike those on land, has good intelligence, and good knowledge, strength, and use of magic, which can make them dangerous to anyone who dares to try to threaten them when entering their territories. Until now, the number of animal species and breeds native to the Demiplane are:
• Bear
• Wolf
• Birds (Roc)
• Rabbits
Immigrated species and races[]
• Alke
• Gorgon
• Wingkin
• Mermaid
• Lorelei
Notable Landmarks[]

Trivia[]
- The term "Asora" has become a popular fan-name for this place, dating back to a misreading of "亜空" by the fan-translator while translating the webnovel (亜 = A, 空 = Sora, 亜空 = Akū).
- While in the Light Novel and Manga, initially the demiplane did not have its own life at the animal level,[5] in the Anime and Web novel, when Makoto investigates the surroundings, you can see there are live animals in the demiplane, such as rabbits, wolves, eagles and bears.[6]
- While in the Light Novel, Web Novel and manga, it is not mentioned that the protagonist, Misumi Makoto, has received as a gift from the gods or created by his contracts with his followers or himself, a lunar celestial body. In the Anime, it is seen that in the Demiplane, a moon during the nights in which Makoto and his followers spend the nights, from time to time.[7]
- Some time later, it would debut in the manga, in chapter 95 of this, both in its digital and physical part.
