Biography[]

Gaku Yoneda has stated himself to avoid relationships with people. He became a god candidate before his initial appearance when he attempted to commit suicide by overdosing on pills due to many public events making him unable to find time to conduct his research. Once he gained his status, he began to actively follow the public appearances of the god candidates to gain knowledge of their personalities before attempting to communicate with them.

He created a deal with the other god candidates where if they shared what they would do if they became God on live television, he would appear before them and begin to communicate. Upon hearing everyone's goals and being interested by Mirai Kakehashi's idea, he appears before the other God Candidates and reveals his identity to them when Shuji Nakaumi reveals that he has read all of his research. Yoneda then states his theory that the God which has been chosen by the selection process is not actually a real God and instead a fake God created by human beliefs and asks the others to join him in the prevention of the creature. Everyone refuses his offer besides Nakaumi who joins him. He shoots Nakaumi with a red arrow to ensure that he does not betray him.

After Susumu Yuito was assassinated by American snipers during the confrontation, he took him away from the area along with Nakaumi despite knowing that Yuito was already dead. This was to ensure that he could gain his wings and arrows for experimentation. Yoneda plans to kill the God candidates before having himself and Nakaumi shoot white arrows at each other with enough time to prevent the creation of the creature. To discover the timings, they gather suicidal people to shoot each other and find the correct timing necessary.

Yoneda then asks the God candidates to meet him at Japan National Station for a final battle before shooting the Japanese prime minister with a red arrow and asking him to avoid intervening. He also asks Nakaumi to take Saki Hanakago and Yuri Temari as hostages and kill them if Mirai did not follow his instructions. After Mirai's angel (Nasse) saves him from a white arrow, he orders Nakaumi to kill Saki to which he fails due to his morals resulting in Saki saving Mirai from another white arrow. Eventually, Yuri shoots a white arrow at Yoneda before Nasse saves him. This resulted in him changing his beliefs on angels being real and offers to vote for a God instead, to which everyone agrees and he votes for Nakaumi. Before Nakaumi fully became god, he told Yoneda that he would inform him of anything about God when he finds out and Yoneda offers Yuri a stable job as his lab assistant.

Six years later, after Nakaumi commits suicide as god and accidentally commits omnicide, Yoneda realizes that he was incorrect with his theories and incorrectly believes the deaths of every human to be a message as he dies shortly afterwards.
