Satun

 (J, J) is a character in Ousama Ranking and its anime adaption. He was a God, and the previous ruler of the Underworld. He was overthrown by his children, Desha, Despa, and Ouken, before the start of the series.

Appearance
Satun was a massive figure, easily as tall as a giant like Bosse. He had a shaggy mane of gray hair, an enormous shaggy gray beard, thick gray eyebrows, beady black eyes, a pointed nose, and a wide mouth with pointed teeth. His eldest son Desha resembles him.

He wore the crown of the Underworld, a navy blue tunic with purple triangles running down the front, and wielded a gigantic scythe.

Personality
Satun was a brutal ruler who treated his subjects like playthings. His later rule was defined by an obsessive hunt for immortality, as Satun feared dying. Satun was ruthless and sadistic in his pursuit of immortality, fathering children and even conducting inhumane experiments on his own subjects to find it.

Plot
One of the primordial Gods of the world, Satun was the ruler and likely founder of the Underworld kingdom.

Late in his reign, as he witnessed his Godly brethren begin to die, Satun became obsessed with acquiring immortality for himself. His drive for immortality was so great that he fathered Demigod children and even conducted cruel experiments on his subjects, believing humanity unwittingly held the key to true immortality.

Satun's cruelty in pursuit of eternal life was so great that it inspired his children, Desha, Despa, and Ouken, to rally the remainder of the Underworld in revolution against their father. The war was long and brutal, but ultimately Satun died by his sons' hands, slain while he sat on his own throne. Desha took his father's crown, and has ruled the Underworld ever since.

Satun's only remaining legacy is his Demigod children, each of whom inherited some amount of the God's power. Desha seems to have inherited most of Satun's abilities (strength, lightning, magic, etc), Despa appears to have inherited Satun's Godly perception and insight, and in an ironic twist of fate Ouken appears to have inherited Satun's will and received true immortality.

Godhood
Satun was one of the Gods, a primordial species that came to power before the rise of humanity. He was many times larger & more powerful than most mortal species. He also wielded an immense amount of innate magic, which took the form of powerful lightning.

It's hinted that the Gods' powers were derived from worship, and that many of the Gods began to die out as humanity became more advanced and stopped worshipping them.

Trivia

 * 's name likely derives from the Roman God Saturn, and the common name for the devil in Christianity, Satan. Furthermore, his design was possibly inspired by the painting Saturn Devouring His Son by Francisco Goya.
