Oshiharuki Sae

After a miserable first year as a salaryman, Oshiharuki Sae went back to university to try to find his passion. Instead he simply found himself once again directionless and at the bottom of the social pecking order. He was killed in a freak accident slipping on water from a flooded bathroom on the way to take notes at a class he didn’t attend as a favor for someone he didn’t like.

Finding himself in hell the once meek and easily strong-armed milquetoast Sae vowed not to allow himself to be bullied in the afterlife the way he had been in the living one. Seizing on his wounded pride to fuel newfound ruthlessness, he quickly found ways to exploit the rules of hell and climb the ranks of the damned. Cementing his power into a massive conglomerate reflecting the 80s corporate landscape he’d died in, he conferred on himself the title of Pride and his organization the Pride Zaibatsu.
