Yggdrasil

Heavenly computer Yggdrasil maintaining reality

Yggdrasil (ユグドラシル Yugudorashiru) is the heavenly computer system that maintains reality, with the Gods and Goddesses acting as its programmers, system administrators, and debuggers and is named after the World Tree in Norse mythology, Yggdrasil. In Ah! My Goddess The Movie, Yggdrasil materialized on Earth as a tree with three intertwined trunks, presumably in reference to its Norse mythology counterpart of having three roots. In Ah! My Goddess (TV series) Yggdrasil appears to have a harp-like interface, again a reference to its Norse origin.

[edit] In the anime and manga

Yggdrasil has many functions, not only does it maintain reality (such as time), but also it is also a support system to gods and goddesses. When Yggdrassil's system crashed during the Lord of Terror incident, goddesses were forced to use alternative sources of energy which had proven to be a very limited source of energy.

Computer bugs in Yggdrasil manifest themselves as six-legged rabbits, which are "debugged" after being hit by mallets. It is dangerous to have too many bugs, because they can form a ring as that will create a gate for the bugs to manifest and copy themselves in great numbers. However, the bugs have little to no intelligence, and thus do not cooperate to form a ring under most circumstances.

Yggdrasil notifies the goddesses such as Belldandy working at the office of people whose fortune and misfortune is out of balance given their actions such as fortitude in facing misfortune, kindness in sympathizing with others. Each person Yggdrasil chooses is granted one wish which can be anything ranging from "wealth that would last a life time" to the destruction of the world.

A rival organisation of the Goddess Relief Office which Peorth works at.
