But here is the crucial question that the manga constantly asks: Does the engine ever leak into the driver? Throughout the series, we see Akira losing control. When he fights Jinmen (the "Face" demon) or when he battles the militaristic General Zann, we see Akira’s eyes go cold. The cross-shaped scar on his forehead glows. His voice drops an octave.

We watch as Amon rampages through Tokyo. He doesn’t fight to protect humans; he fights because he loves killing other demons. The OVA is infamous for its hyper-violence and surreal imagery—flesh merging with concrete, rivers of blood, and a silent, stoic Amon who doesn't speak because he has no need for human words.

In the lore, Amon was a general in the demon wars of antiquity, a creature of such unstoppable ferocity that even other demons feared him. He was sealed away for millions of years, hibernating in the ice until the modern era, waiting for a host weak enough to control but strong enough to contain him. The genius of Devilman lies in the possession scene. Akira Fudo, a gentle-hearted crybaby, doesn't fight Amon with brute force. He fights him with soul . His best friend, Ryo Asuka, takes Akira to a Sabbath—a demonic orgy of flesh and violence. There, Akira willingly allows the demon Amon to merge with his body.
Despite their antagonistic relationship, Amon is inextricably fused to Akira. When Akira is finally killed by Satan’s beams in the arctic, Amon dies too. The engine is destroyed along with the driver.

Yet, his role is far more complex than just a standard monster possessing a boy. To understand the tragedy of Akira Fudo, you first have to understand the absolute horror of Amon. In the original 1972 manga, Amon isn't given a lengthy backstory. He is simply one of the most powerful demons residing in the frozen halls of Hell. His name, borrowed from the Goetic demon of the Ars Goetia (a Marquis of Hell who appears as a wolf with a serpent’s tail), implies ancient authority.
