Shinigami-kun, also known as the grim reaper #413, is a novice responsible for announcing the deaths of individuals and guiding their souls to the underworld. He greets them with the phrase "Congratulations! I am here to escort you," although the somber nature of his duty makes it difficult to see it as a joyous occasion. He monitors those on the brink of death and also plays a crucial role in persuading people from taking their own lives and preventing unexpected fatalities. However, due to his lack of experience in this role, #413 often shows favoritism towards humans in his decisions, leading him to bend the rules of the underworld and receive reprimands from his superior.
