Released in 2000 as a two-part OVA (Original Video Animation) directed by Hideki Takayama, Amon is not a remake or a sequel. It is a reimagining and a direct adaptation of the Amon: The Darkside of Devilman manga (written by Yu Kinutani and Go Nagai), which itself is a retelling of the final, most nihilistic arc of the original story. If Devilman Crybaby is a tragic opera of emotion, Amon is a brutalist, industrial noise album—raw, ugly, and unforgettable. The plot picks up at the most desperate moment of the Devilman saga. Akira Fudo, the kind-hearted boy fused with the demon Amon, has been fighting a losing war against the demonic hordes of the fallen angel Zennon. Humanity, manipulated by the demons and their own fear, has descended into paranoia and violence.
The color palette is deliberately muted—washed-out browns, sickly greens, and deep reds. The animation, while sometimes stiff, excels in moments of extreme violence. Limbs are torn, bodies are crushed, and blood sprays in thick, arterial arcs. This isn't the stylish ultraviolence of Ninja Scroll ; it's the nasty, claustrophobic violence of a nightmare.
The answer is Amon .
Grief and rage consume Akira. He loses control, not of his Devilman form, but of the demon inside him. Amon, the original "Demon of War," seizes the moment. He doesn’t just emerge; he Akira’s soul entirely. Akira Fudo ceases to exist. In his place stands the full, unshackled power of Amon: a mindless, raging beast of pure destruction who cares nothing for humanity, demons, or salvation.
