Akuto Sai

> Now... that means we have to think of what we say to our own higher power in answer. I want to save not just what’s inside me, but everything in the Law of Identity’s universe. I want to free them from their stories. That is my wish.

## Summary

**Akuto Sai** is the main protagonist of the light novel series *Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou*. He grows up and enrolls in the Constant Academy for Magical Arts, aspiring to be a high priest. On the train to school, he meets Junko Hattori and makes a pact with her to make the world a better place. Yata Garasu, the predicting spirit, predicts that he will become a Demon Lord after graduation. Yata's predictions have never been wrong, and as a result, everyone fears him. Even so, he still tries to do the right thing when things go wrong around him, and he is shown to have an incredible amount of power within him, as evidenced by his ability to absorb a demon dog's mana and return it to normal, something that a normal mage is unable to do. When his power manifests, he struggles from time to time, attempting to use the destructive energies to help rather than harm. Sai aspires to join his country's highest order of magicians and make a positive contribution to society.

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

* **Immortality:** After the world was destroyed and Akuto arrived in the afterlife Brave attempted to travel into the past to prevent the world's destruction. He attempted this many times by, amongst others, preventing the development of magic and killing Akuto, but when he returned to the afterlife of the future nothing ever noticeably changed. That was due to The Law of Identity having predetermined the fate of Akuto and the world. No matter what Brave changed in the past, history would always realign itself to keep the end result the same. Akuto could, for example, later on be revived by someone else, as demonstrated in Act 8. When Akuto tried to crush the afterlife and by that erase himself, the Law of Identity stopped that as well, as this wasn't an ending it would allow. In conclusion, while one can kill Akuto in the world of the living, sending him to the afterlife and by that winning against him, it will ultimately make no difference for the fate of him or the world. Furthermore, any action that would even destroy his afterlife self would be prevented by The Law of Identity.
* **All Stories:** All of existence is stories. From the inside these stories appear to be truth and from the outside to be fiction. Akuto is capable of creating all stories that can be described. This includes stories with higher dimensions and without, with time and without time, where the occult exists and where it doesn't and all other sorts of different concepts. Some of these stories contain stories themselves and people like Akuto that can freely create stories. These stories can be called stories of higher story density and can form infinite hierarchies.
* **Void Body:** The void body Akuto is a state archived during the final ritual with The Law of Identity. That ritual brought both the stories and Akuto's body down to zero and created a void. During this ritual, Akuto and all souls in him are taken into The Law of Identity and together with it they enter the Anti-Universe, the place where all stories end.

**Note(s):**

* So far this page only covers Volume 13 (Act 13)
* The Void Body only existed during a very short time during the end of the story and as such not much is known about it.
