Baku is, so far, the only god to have recovered from Layou's poison thanks to Afrain's help. Baku and Mikomi (and three unnamed others) had the courage to find the five Hikari Crystals and opened The Passage of the Rainbow. However only Baku was able to go, the rest had to stop enemies or something and were unable to go with him so Mikomi stayed behind.
Baku returned to The Valley of Endless Rain to save his sister, but he stayed in the shadows and never revealed his name. He foresaw the next generation of Chosen One's that were supposed to get the Hikari Crystals, however Lana and her daughter Mariko were not included in his prediction and therefore things didn't turn out as he planned at all.
He befriended the Mikomi Tribe through Shuhan and later Nagata who he showed where to find the first Hikari Crystal. Hitori was the one to obtain it, The Pearl of the Ocean. Later on, in Part 24, he revealed that he was in fact the God Baku and that he was there to help.
The History of the Gods

g0004 | A few days later: Afrain, leader of the good monsters, got word of the killing of the Fairy family and went to war with the bad monsters. The Good Monsters were victorious. | Part 12 |
g0004 | Baku orders Mikomi to stay behind in Afrain’s castle, because he doesn’t want her to get hurt. | Part 31 |
g0004 | Whilst the Good Monsters ate the fruit of the poisoned land of the Dead Fairies, Afrain imprisoned Layou and his minions in the centre of the Earth. The land of the Dead Fairies was poisoned and the Good Monsters who ate the fruit of it, turned dark. Afrain had to watch as his sons and wives were slowly turning into evil monsters. Afrain brought his only daughter that hadn’t been poisoned, Lana, and his friends to the Clouds Before the Sun. Mikomi, unpoisoned, was still in the Land of the Dead Fairies. | Part 12 & 30 & 31 |
g0004 | Afrain made a big rock wall around the Land of the Dead Fairies. Which formed the Valley of Endless Rain. All the monsters were trapped inside, including Mikomi. | Part 13 & 31 |
g0004-A lot later | Afrain’s children began having children of their own and soon they would grow into tribes and fight eachother. | Part 12 |
g0004-A lot later | Baku stays in the shadows to help Mikomi in any way he can. | Part 70 |
g0004-A lot later | Sendo, Mikomi, Tiko and Chi become alienated with each other and form tribes. Sendo attacked the smaller Tiko Tribe. Mikomi and Chi wanted to protect the Tiko Tribe. The Mikomi Tribe killed Sendo. The Tiko Tribe became enraged by this and turned to pacifists and retreated to the mountains. After a while the Sendo Tribe attacked the Mikomi Tribe. The Chi came to help them and the Sendo was defeated again. This would go on for years until the Chi tribe declared they had enough and stopped helping the Mikomi. The next battle the Mikomi barely won, but Mikomi lay on her deathbed. Before Mikomi died Chi made a promise with her. The Chi Tribe would help the Mikomi whenever it was needed. | Part 45 |
g0004-A lot later | Mikomi faked her own death, with Baku's help, being tired of war. She was buried but dug up again by Baku. She went back one more time that night and made sure some of the citizens saw her before she actually left. | Part 70 & Untold Story 1 |
g0004-A lot later | The next Mikomi leader, Techahan, was as ruthless as the Sendo and all three went to war with each other. Before Chi died she told Baku her promise to the Mikomi Tribe. The Chi Tribe hasn’t been able to fulfil their promise to come to the Mikomi Tribe's rescue. | Part 45 & Untold Story 1 |

g0004-A lot later | Baku makes a plan to save Mikomi and makes a prediction to have five people find the Hikari Crystals and take Mikomi with them to the Clouds Before the Sun. | Part 70 |

g0004-A lot later | Lana finds all the Hikari Crystals, but her father stops her just in time and exiles her to the Valley of Endless Rain. She couldn’t leave anymore. Afrain made sure Lana couldn’t reach the Hikari Crystals anymore by guarding them with the five surviving Fairies: Mermaid Aquateam, Gaia (Urania) Titaniacare, Pyro Phoenixtruth, Typhoon Gryffinstrength and Serenity Soulheart who would only give a Hikari Crystal away after testing the person (tests that Lana would never be able to complete). | Part 30 |
g0004-A lot later | Lana has realised she has become mortal and has started aging because she actually did take a bite of the poisoned fruit but spat it out again. | Part 70 |
g0004-A lot later | Lana finds Mikomi and cursed her. Lana traded her mortal life for Mikomi's immortal life, but in the process they both got 'connected'. If Mikomi dies, Lana dies and vica versa, unless Mikomi is healed in the Clouds Before the Sun. Now Lana is immortal and won't age and Mikomi is mortal and DOES age. | Part 70 |
g0004-A lot later | Baku returned to the Valley of Endless Rain and joined the Mikomi Tribe and told them about the Hikari Crystals: over the years it became more like a story or legend. | Part 45 & 70 |
