Their reunion leads them to a nightclub party, where Akira initially feels out of place. However, the evening takes a terrifying turn when the attendees begin transforming into monstrous demons.

Driven by Akira's deep compassion for humanity, Devilman emerges determined to protect mankind from the demon menace.

In this installment

Demons are real, and their strength is far beyond human comprehension. In fact, they are so formidable that humans have no chance of defeating them in combat. The only force capable of overcoming a demon is another demon, and based on this reasoning, Ryo Asuka devises a plan to have his kind-hearted friend, Akira Fudo, taken over by a demon. If a person has a pure enough heart, they might be able to control the demon that possesses them, thus gaining power equal to that of a demon. After causing some chaos in a nightclub, the plan succeeds, and Akira is taken over by the mighty demon named Amon. Now, Akira stands as humanity's sole champion of justice against the hidden demon threat that has plagued mankind since the beginning of time.
