Here's the discussion for Umemiya's deity representation as seen in the latest chapter. If you haven't seen my thoughts on Takiishi's yet then I've provided a link to that post as well.
(I hope you appreciate the better quality & organization of the post from my well-rested brain cells)
Part 1: Takiishi Chika and the Karura
Spoilers for Chapter 150!
In my last post, I discussed my theory that the bird-like deity depicted for Takiishi was a karura. With Umemiya, I believe the deity to be Fudō Myō-ō (不動明王, ふどうみょうおう) who is also known as the Immovable Wisdom King (Skt. Ācalanātha).
[Fudō Mask was sourced from the Japanese Buddhist Statuary: A to Z Phot Dictionary; (Wooden) Seated Fudō Myō-ō Statue by Kaikei created in 1203 sourced from Isumu (360° view available)]
Fudō Myō-ō is THE central deity among all of the Myō-ō (warlike or wrathful gods) groupings, but is most prominently featured among the Godai Myō-ō (五大明王, Five Great Kings) who are manifestations of the Five Transcendental Buddha. He was given the title as the Immovable One due to his unwaivering commitment to the protection of Buddhist teachings.
Orginating as a pagan deity from India, Fudō's conversion to Buddhism began with humble beginnings. He was assigned as a servant and messenger of Buddha himself and later achieving higher positions and later becoming a manifestation of the power and virtues of Dainichi Buddha, one of the 5 Transcendental Buddha I mentioned previously. (Source: MetMuseum)
In regards to their appearances, Fudō shares a remarkable resemblance to the deity depicted in Chapter 150. From his adornments, eyebrows, hair style, the prominent scowl etched into their faces and the long side braid (?) to the left of the face.
Aside from looks, let's talk about the prominent parallels between Umemiya and Fudō Myō-ō:
Origins. Both Ume and Fudō had to start over with their life, with Ume losing his family due to a car accident and Fudō being stripped of his former godhood after converting to Buddhism. Despite these, they were able to work their way up to be strong enough to protect what they valued the most.
Their roles. According to Schumacher in his page about Fudō,
"Fudō converts anger into salvation..."
- Schumacher, M., "Fudō Myō-ō"
"converts anger into salvation", that seems familiar- Oh wait.
Fudō and Ume are guides to enlightenment AND protectors. They themselves are symbols of safety in the eyes of those under their care.
Connections. While the Godai Myō-ō (Five Great Kings) aren't closely related to the Shitennō (Four Heavenly Kings) as the former rank far above the latter, there are similarities to be found. One is that both groups are in charge of the five directions, and yes five. The Shitennō is commanded by Taishakuten (帝釈天) who is the Lord of the Center. Relating this back to Ume and his Four Kings, it's interesting to note that the mangaka choose a higher ranking god to represent Ume rather than use Taishakuten. Perhaps to differentiate the power gap between Umemiya and his Four Kings?
Conclusion: I'm confident that Fudō Myō-ō is definitely the god representing Umemiya with the evidence I have gathered as well as several others have come to similar conclusions to the fact. It was really fun deep diving into this research for both Takiishi and Umemiya and with a clear headed than the previous post, perhaps I'd like to make another one but of Tomiyama and Togame (The Hare & The Tortoise) or Sakura and Sugshita (The Tiger & The Dragon). No promises though.
(P.S. I am not Japanese but I have been deeply interested in the culture and history. I do my best to use credible sources (both ENG and JPN) and give credit accordingly. However, I'm prone to slip ups so if there is anything that requires correction, notify me throught the post via reply/reblog.)

This is kinda dumb but
Hajime who somehow gets horny when he sees you eat
Because he's always on a diet, he can't seem to enjoy food like you do: so whenever he buys you a pastry or fries, he stares at you and the little happy dance you do on the chair as you contently munch, stares at your cute cheeks and lips and- oh. He's hard. But he wants you to eat and take your time, taste everything thoroughly.
He'll wait for your last bite, then smile and put his big hand on your face, finger on your lip as he stares wistfully at your mouth.
"I'm sorry Haji... Did you want some of it?"
He smiles, cock painfully hard as he thinks about your mouth. "nah, baby, it's fine."
absolutely NOT dumb sweet nonie baby this is just so him and you just made me fall in love with him even further i CANT 🥺
Generally speaking: basically everything you do is hot to him. Hajime doesn't really understand how or why, yet anytime you do the most simple, daily routine things – he gets a love boner. at first he felt so bad about it because he didn't want you to think that he's sexualising anything you do or that you're nothing but an object of his desire and pleasure, yet after a while of dating, he's realised it's mostly because of how in love he is with you.
apparently his body's first reaction to a love as puee as this one is a hard on and as inconvenient it tends to be, he's come to accept it and after knowing you feel the same way about him, he's decided to indulge in it instead of suppressing it.
now when it comes to anything related to your mouth, he's a weak man. so whenever he watches you eat and enjoy your food the way you're supposed to, the way you deserve to enjoy it, hajime instantly feels the blood rushing into his cock because of how cute you are.
your cute little moans of enjoyment, the little dances you make when something you've been craving hits just the right spot, your tongue cleaning your lips after every bite – iwaizumi tried to hide just how much he likes it yet every time you end up figuring him out.
and that's why your cute little lunch or dinner dates usually end with his cock in your mouth as you suck him off in one of his expensive sports cars, making sure he doesn't have to drive with a raging hard on and always claiming his cum as your dessert. it's in those moments where iwaizumi simply can't hold bavk his deep grunts and slightly higher pitched moans and even whimpers because of how good you're making him feel, nobody's ever done him the way you do and each and every time feels like a dream.
and iwa always makes sure to reward his baby by pushing your legs against your chest to hit those sweet spots of yours as soon as he gets you home because he wants you to feel just as good as him and there's nothing as good as stuffing his pretty angel with his cum after an evening like this 🥺☁️🫶🏼🦋
