Akira Fudo: When I died, I already knew where I was going. Demons don't get past Heaven's gates.
Akira Fudo: Surviving wasn't easy either. Amon's followers came for me. Turns out he's one of the Ars Goetia... and wearing his face? That's blasphemy down here.
Akira Fudo: And what’s worse, I drawn the attention of the big guy himself. Ironically named Satan.
Satan: Akira Fudo. You brought ruin upon the mortal realm, boy.
Satan: Not only that, but your resistance to demon possession has robbed us one of the Goetia demons in the infernal court.
Satan: Marquis Amon was the best among us, and you had the gall to defy him. You should’ve surrendered like the pitiful mortal worm you are.
Satan: Send this abomination to Tartarus!
Akira Fudo: From one Satan to another, the big guy saw me responsible for Ryo’s mess. and saw my very existence an abomination.
Akira Fudo: by the way he spoke, I could tell that he and Anon were friends. Talk about bad luck.
Akira Fudo: But I had an unexpected friend in that court. Lilith, the Queen of Hell.
Lilith: Satan, that won't be necessary. I have a better use for him.
Satan: And what use does this vermin have for us, Lilith?
Lilith: We saw the battles, this boy gave it all against Ryo Asuka, that pretender. Sure Akira died, but he has potential which needs to be nurtured.
Lilith: He and the rest of his kin will be part of out legions should that pretender comes out of hiding. you known I speak true, Satan.
Satan: ...Tch. Fine. It's Your call, Your Majesty.
Akira Fudo: She gave us purpose. Built the Devilmen Regiment from scratch. Made me Captain.
Akira Fudo: And she was right, my time here in Hell did make me strong, strong when the time I’ll have to face Ryo again.
Akira Fudo: But that isn’t the last of her mercy.
Akira Fudo: The Soul Reapers sent here through Konsō Reitai... she gave them a role too. Made them into Hell Reapers. Law enforcers.
Akira Fudo: Back then, they were treated no differently to the sinners and were imprisoned in Tartarus as portential Doombringers.
Ichigo: Lilith... Charlie and Lucifer told me about her. Their wife and mother. She disappeared seven years ago.
Ichigo: Charlie and Lucifer told me that her peaceful protest failed because Sera saw it as an gathering for an attempted uprising.
Ichigo: Which issued the Exterminations.
Akira Fudo: The protest was meant to make heaven aware of their outdated methods of justice.
Akira Fudo: Not everyone here deserves this. Some just... made the wrong call. They have regrets.
Akira Fudo: Unlike the true sinners like murderers, zealots, terrorists, extremists, rapists, abusers, lawyers and politicians.
Akira Fudo: Those who deserve a second chance, those who failed in life despite their hard upbringings, all nothing but damned sinners to the eyes of heaven.
Akira Fudo: But Heaven's no different from Soul Society. Unfairly strict. No mercy for anyone who slips up.
Ichigo: It won't stay like that. I delivered the report myself. Redemption is possible now. Those who did mess up now have a change in redemption. like you.
Akira Fudo: I wouldn't hold my breath. Someone like me... is fated to be damned. I'll never see Miki again.
