The 1972 anime TV series has no such apocalyptic conclusion and the ending is happier for Akira and Miki than in the manga. The Earth is totally destroyed during this battle, and Devilman dies at the hands of Satan. After Miki and her whole family are brutally slain by a paranoid human horde (in a particularly famous scene, Akira retrieves Miki's dismembered body from her burned house and later is seen holding her head in his arms), the final fight between Devilman and Satan ensues. In the manga, the story ends with Akira discovering that his friend Ryo is really Satan in a dormant state. He encounters many foes such as Sirène the demon bird, the water demon Geruma, and a large turtle-like demon called Jinmen. Throughout the series, Devilman has many battles with the demon hordes. This change pleases Miki, although she is unaware of Akira's new-found powers. He becomes very aggressive and no longer lets anyone push him around. Devilman contains the strength and power of the demon Amon, as well as the heart and soul of Akira, giving Akira complete control.Īfter he becomes Devilman, Akira is no longer timid and shy.
However Akira manages to gain the upper hand of the possessing process with Amon and transforms into Devilman. Demons possess the clubbers and threaten Ryo and Akira, until a demon known as Amon the Lord of War, also called the Beast of Hell, and also one of the strongest demons attempts to possess Akira. Ryo takes his friend to a nightclub and picks a fight to draw demonic attention to the club. However, Ryo believes that people like Akira may be able to harness a demon's powers when possessed, due to the fact that Akira has a pure heart. Akira then sees Ryo's plan: "To fight a demon, one must become a demon."ĭemons have the ability to possess and control humans. Ryo shows Akira this and informs him about the demons' revival. This mask turns out to be a fossilized demon skull, which shows whomever wore it what the world was like when demons ruled over it. Ryo's father had discovered the existence of demons when he found a mask during an excavation of the ruins of an ancient Mayan temple. One day, Akira's best friend, Ryo Asuka, asks a favor and completely changes Akira's life. In the first OVA, she saves Akira from a gang of bullies who are threatening him. She often has to defend herself from bullies even when Akira is with her. Miki, a tough, smart, self-sufficient girl, loves Akira but wishes that he would stand up for himself when he gets pushed around, and is frustrated by his lack of backbone. When his parents are lost on a business trip in the Arctic, Akira goes to stay with his childhood friend Miki Makimura and her family (mother, father, and bratty kid brother Tare). At first, Akira is very shy, modest and gentle, trying to avoid conflict. Devilman is about a teenager named Akira Fudo.
