the thing about ibuki douji is that she is your friend. like once you sit down and have a conversation with her she is very much your friend! but she also is as far on top of the monster-divinity scale you can get so she is also this incarnation of the land being who sees humans as insects because they really are on that comparable scale to her, she shares the same type of mindset that shuten has when it comes to viewing humans as entertainment but unlike shuten who was horrified by the knowledge that she is a monster, ibuki simply took it as a fact of life and thus doesn't mind if she eats someone. she was going to eat guda in heian kyo just because they were a human who underwent so many experiences and didn't look at her in fear, and that made guda interesting in her eyes. it was as simple as "this human is interesting" -> "i like seeing them" -> "i want to consume them". in the same vein, she then HELPS guda in heian kyo defeat limbo just because watching limbo flail about was funny to her, to the point where limbo even gets a debuff in the fight from ibuki laughing at him. she's capricious and whimsical and literally every action she does is dictated by fleeting desire.
but the thing that prevents her from becoming a full on monster, the thing that made ibuki the aspect of shuten that was friends with kintoki as a child, is that shes friendly. shes a people person and she isnt against the idea of getting closer to people.
what held shuten back is ironically ibukis greatest strength, and its why shes an aspect of shuten that shuten herself rejects, the idea that she could have been more intimate alongside humans: shes just like kintoki! kintoki is someone on an equal footing of being a divine monster but his heart primarily lies in humanity, hes compassionate and built himself up by living alonside humans compared to ibuki who sinply lived on top of the mountain. ibuki douji is easily what kintoki COULD have become had he not been raised alongside humans and grown as a human, a powerful divine monster who consumes as they please, operating on nothing more but whims and interest. but that in turn does not mean either of them are horrible monsters just because they are inherently incompatible with humans.
They both just love life too much to ever become monsters, they love people and humans and new experiences and every single part of modern humanity that makes it so much fun! They are too high on the spice of life to ever become fully monstrous, and its why shuten and limbo are "failures" in this respect: shuten was too afraid to take that next step for fear of hurting someone she loves, while limbo as humanitys greatest failure doesn't allow himself to grow, to experience new things, to be fun and have fun living as a human. They are stuck in the past and only now are cautiously taking those first steps to be more than an echo and a grudge.
Ibuki Douji the god is a divine calamity whose very presence beings storms and fear and chaos, but Ibuki Douji herself is your friend!! Your friend who loves hanging out with you!!
