* DemonOfHumanOrigin: A bizarre example. In Happy Science teachings, humans are actually reincarnations of immortal spirits, angels, and demigods throughout time, they just lose memories once they leave the Spirit World to reincarnate. However, as God Eagle explains, when a spirit goes astray and promotes wrong thinking while living as a human, they will fall into Hell and become a demon instead.

* UnderworldRiver: When the gang arrives in the fourth tier of the Spirit World, the Posthumous Realm, God Eagle takes them to River Styx, where people with threads tied around them swim through it after dying. He then explains that the threads are silver cords connecting the spirit to the mortal body, cut 24 hours after the heart stops. Moreover, those who refuse to let go of their mortal attachments are more likely to sink under.
* WeCanRuleTogether: When Ryuta, Yuko, and God Eagle enter the Demonic Realm in Hell, Niches tries to convince the former to join his side by appealing to a sense of superiority among atheists. However, Ryuta doesn't fall for it and recriminates the demon for causing misery on Earth by causing people to renounce God and Buddha.
