When a God of Destruction Was Reincarnated in Tensura:

Background and History

Overview

Hinata Sakaguchi is one of the most pivotal characters in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. Known for her exceptional intellect, unparalleled combat skills, and unwavering sense of justice, she is the leader of the Holy Order of the Western Saints and a trusted subordinate of Luminous Valentine, the Demon Lord who rules over the Holy Empire of Ruberios.

Hinata's strong convictions and tragic past make her both a formidable adversary and a complex individual whose motivations often intertwine morality and practicality.

Place of Origin: Earth (Japan)

Family: Born into a wealthy yet emotionally cold family, Hinata's early life was marked by loneliness. Her parents had high expectations for her but lacked the warmth and love she craved.

Personality as a Child:

Hinata was highly intelligent from a young age, excelling in academics and possessing a naturally inquisitive mind. However, her cold upbringing led her to become emotionally detached and pragmatic, suppressing her feelings in favor of achieving her goals.

Tragedy:

At the age of 15, Hinata's life took a tragic turn when her mother passed away. The loss devastated her, as her mother was the only person who offered her any semblance of affection. Stricken with grief and anger, Hinata blamed her father, who became even more distant. This deepened her feelings of isolation and resentment.

Rebellion:

Unable to cope with her father's strict control, Hinata rebelled. She fell in with a rough crowd, distancing herself from her privileged life. During this time, she developed survival skills and a hardened worldview, learning to trust only herself.

Death and Reincarnation:

In an unexpected twist of fate, Hinata was killed in her previous world under mysterious circumstances—likely due to her involvement with unsavory individuals. Upon her death, she was reincarnated into the world of Tensura.

Meeting Luminous Valentine:

Shortly after her reincarnation, Hinata encountered Luminous Valentine, the Demon Lord and ruler of Ruberios. Initially distrustful, Hinata was moved by Luminous' offer of purpose and guidance. Luminous took her in, training her and fostering her incredible latent abilities. Over time, Hinata became Luminous' most loyal subordinate, eventually rising to become the leader of the Holy Order of the Western Saints.

Purpose:

Hinata found solace in Luminous' ideals, aligning herself with the faith of the Church of Luminism, which worships Luminous as the god of light. Through this, she channeled her past pain into a sense of justice, protecting the weak and ensuring order.

Personality

Cold and Pragmatic:

Hinata's demeanor is often described as icy. She makes decisions based on logic and efficiency, rarely allowing emotions to influence her judgment. Her pragmatism is both her greatest strength and her biggest flaw, as it can make her appear heartless.

Unwavering Justice:

Hinata possesses an unshakable sense of justice. She despises evil and corruption, willing to go to extreme lengths to eliminate them. However, her definition of justice is rigid, and she initially struggles to see nuances in moral dilemmas.

Leadership:

As a leader, Hinata is highly respected and feared. Her subordinates admire her discipline and skill, while her enemies dread her unrelenting resolve.

Inner Vulnerability:

Beneath her cold exterior lies a person scarred by her past. She is not completely devoid of emotion; she merely suppresses it to avoid appearing weak.

Combat Skills

Hinata is considered one of the most powerful humans in the world. Her fighting prowess rivals even the mightiest monsters and demon lords.

Master Swordswoman:

Hinata wields the legendary sword Dead End Rainbow. Her swordsmanship is so advanced that she can read an opponent's movements and counter them with precision.

Magic Proficiency:

As a leader of the Church of Luminism, Hinata excels in holy magic, specializing in purification spells and barriers. Her holy aura is highly effective against demons and monsters.

Mathematician Combat Style:

Hinata uses her intellect to calculate the probabilities of attacks and outcomes during combat, employing a strategy akin to chess. This analytical approach makes her extremely difficult to defeat.

Unique Skills

Usurper:

A skill that enables Hinata to steal the abilities of defeated opponents, making her even more dangerous as battles progress.

Hinata's Relationship with Shizu

Hinata and Shizu Izawa share a deep connection. When Hinata first reincarnated into the world, Shizu was one of the few individuals who treated her kindly. Shizu's warmth and guidance left a lasting impression on Hinata, and she came to view Shizu as a mentor.

Hinata's Role in the Church

As the leader of the Holy Order of the Western Saints, Hinata is tasked with enforcing the Church's doctrine and protecting humanity from monsters. She commands an elite group of knights, each of whom possesses remarkable strength and loyalty.

Key Responsibilities

Protecting the faith of the Church and spreading its teachings.

Battling high-level monsters and demonic threats.

Overseeing the political alliances between the Church and the Western Nations.

Hinata often struggles with the Church's underlying hypocrisies, but her loyalty to Luminous keeps her steadfast in her role.
