About this title

Synopsis

Soft-hearted Akira Fudou has always been somewhat of a pushover. When he reunites with his childhood friend, Ryou Asuka, in a fateful encounter, Ryou reveals to him the terrifying reality of his father's research: demons exist and are planning to claim possession of the earth once again. Eager to help his friend save humanity, Akira agrees to attend Black Sabbath, a party filled with depravity and corruption, to attempt to merge with a demon. A near-death encounter causes him to unify with Amon, a demon feared amongst even his own kind. Together they form Devilman, a combination of Amon's strength and Akira's pure heart. After uniting with Amon, Akira begins to fight against the demons with his newfound power, desperate to stop the downfall of all human civilization. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Ryou Asuka is the best friend of Akira Fudo, the protagonist of Devilman. Though the two were separated after Akira switched schools, they were reunited when Ryou sought Akira's help to stop the demons which had begun to reappear in the world. In order to better their chances of success, Ryou suggests the two of them fuse themselves to become a devilman—heart of a human, but the body and power of a demon—though only Akira is successful. As Devilman, Akira works with Ryou to fight the increasing onslaught of demons.

Devilman is the demon that Akira Fudo becomes by exchanging for his soul for the purpose of mankind. He still has the ability to love with the human heart of Akira Fudo. After he becomes Devilman, Akira is no longer timid and shy as he becomes very aggressive and no longer lets anyone push him around.
