Description
Mitsuki Sarue is the human identity of Sariel, a high-ranking angel from the world of Ente Isla who serves as an executioner for the Church, specifically tasked with enforcing the declaration of the Fallen. He is sent to Earth with the mission of recovering the sacred sword Better Half, which he believes the hero Emilia Justina no longer has the right to wield after distancing herself from the Church. To carry out this mission, he first attempts to ambush Emilia at a convenience store while disguised as a masked robber, but the attack fails and he is forced to retreat. He then adopts the alias Mitsuki Sarue and infiltrates modern Tokyo as the manager of Sentucky Fried Chicken, a rival fast‑food chain to the MgRonald’s where the demon king Sadao Maou works. This cover allows him to observe both Maou and Emilia in their human lives, gather intelligence, and plan his next move.
In appearance, Sariel has a delicate, almost feminine look with silver‑white hair, pale skin, and sharp violet eyes. When serious in battle, he manifests a large pair of angelic wings and wields a massive scythe that glows with divine energy, reinforcing his role as a grim executioner of divine will. In his human disguise as Mitsuki Sarue, he wears a white Sentucky Fried Chicken uniform and presents himself as an eccentric, overly enthusiastic fast‑food manager, though his angelic aura remains noticeable.
Personality‑wise, Sariel is a contradictory blend of ruthless and ridiculous. As an angel, he is cold, calculating, and highly arrogant, believing himself superior to humans, demons, and even other angels. He speaks in a condescending and authoritative manner, dismissing those he considers beneath him. At the same time, he exhibits a childish, eccentric, and comedic side, often overreacting in dramatic and exaggerated ways when his plans go awry. He has a twisted sense of justice, insisting that Emilia return the sacred sword to the Church even though she is its rightful wielder. An additional bizarre trait is his obsessive infatuation with beautiful women, particularly Emilia and Chiho Sasaki, toward whom he makes creepy and inappropriate remarks that frequently result in physical retaliation from Emilia. Despite these comedic shortcomings, Sariel remains a dangerous opponent because of his special ability.
His most notable ability is the Wicked Light of the Fallen, a magic that can nullify all sacred powers. This makes him a serious threat to holy warriors like Emilia, whose powers are drawn from divine sources. In battle, he combines this ability with his scythe to suppress his opponents’ strengths. However, his overconfidence, dramatic flair, and tendency to gloat often undermine his effectiveness.
Sariel’s key relationships are defined by conflict and manipulation. He sees Emilia as an obstacle to be eliminated or forced into surrendering the sword, although he is also physically attracted to her, which only leads to violent confrontations. He views Sadao Maou, the demon king, as a target of divine justice, but after a humiliating defeat at Maou’s hands, he later acknowledges Maou’s strength. He develops a creepy infatuation with Chiho Sasaki, making unwanted advances that earn him beatings from Emilia. He manipulates Suzuno Kamazuki, also known as Crestia Bell, into joining forces against Maou and Emilia by exploiting her loyalty to the Church, but Suzuno eventually begins to question her allegiance, unraveling Sariel’s plan.
In the story, Sariel serves as an early antagonist in the series, bringing both genuine danger and comedic relief. After his initial attacks fail, he eventually engages in direct combat with Emilia, using the Wicked Light of the Fallen to suppress her sacred power. Despite having the upper hand at first, he is ultimately defeated and left powerless in Japan, much like other supernatural figures trapped in the human world. His defeat and subsequent humiliations contribute to his development, as he is forced to adapt to life without his full angelic might. In later appearances, such as in the second season, he is seen interacting with other angels like Gabriel, showing that he remains active in the background, still scheming and involved in the larger conflicts surrounding the Tree of Life and the Yesod fragment.
Throughout the series, Sariel never undergoes a major redemption or profound change, but his persistent failures and the absurdity of his earthly life as a fast‑food manager highlight the series’ running theme of powerful supernatural beings struggling with mundane human existence. His combination of menace and absurdity makes him a memorable character who embodies both the serious and comedic tones of the story.
