Closest parallel for Tachibana's world, there are immortal beings called Undead which never fails to cause shenanigans in games that were created at the start of the world to fight to see what species would rule over Earth. Human Undead won, so we have a world of humans. Fast forward to 2005 and humans have found the sealed Undead and because humans, the Undead get unsealed and start up the Battle Fight again. Only over the course of things, a few of them develop Feelings for humans and don't really want the world rebooted.
Tachibana spends 90% of the show yelling about how Hajime (who is Joker Undead) will destroy the world and trying to seal him. Only to pull a 180 the 3rd to last ep of the show and nearly dying to keep Hajime from being sealed. And now they're best friends and neither of them quite understand that.
So while not quite a parallel situation, it's enough that he will very much get that. Also the whole "and now you have to fight" thing though his was a "you are the only one who can keep these immortal creatures from killing humankind. No pressure!" set up.
(He also doesn't exactly have a favorable view of gods in general due to the god of his world being basically the root of all his misfortune and ones he's met while Traveling (aka, in his other game) have been jerks. So he also will see nothing wrong with taking over Heaven so long as Earth didn't suffer for it :)
So basically, if/when it comes to backstory sharing, he can offer so much sympathy and advice.
(also, should I add you on plurk or discord or something?)
