I can't believe it's not Devilman!
Mangaby moozooh

Go Nagai's Devilman is one of the most influential manga of all time. A seminal effort in both themes and tone, it set the standard and paved the way for the gory, edgy stories popular today among the teenagers and young adults. You'd be surprised just how many of them trace their thematic lineage to the ol' Devilboi.

How to quickly recognize a Devilman-inspired story:
* the protagonist somehow ends up imbued with some kind of dark power that makes them stronger at the expense of their humanity;
* having said power influences their personality and/or physique in a major way;
* it is used to combat antagonists having powers of a similar or identical origin who seek to prey on the protagonist or the humankind in general;
* although the protagonist is aligned with humankind, his powers make other people afraid of him or try to use him for their own benefit;
* death, violent dismemberment, grotesque imagery, and other fun hijinks ensue;
* some sort of a major betrayal is expected.

There could be other, less obvious parallels, like the religious symbolism or anti-war themes.

I won't be including every single title I'm aware of here—only the good/notable ones. If you aren't sure how the stories in question relate to Devilman, feel free to find it in the list of recommendations and read what people say there. I won't be annotating this list to avoid spoilers.

Honorable mention: Kemonozume, an anime-only series by Masaaki Yuasa that is basically a beat-by-beat copy of Devilman. Many years later Yuasa was brought on board to direct an actual adaptation of Devilman.

This list constitutes my personal views and stances. If something isn't on it, it likely means I haven't seen it or don't have an informed opinion on the matter. Feel free to shoot me suggestions via DMs, but make sure you have a convincing argument if it's not something that's already on my main manga/anime list. I don't promise it'll end up here, but I will consider all suggestions.
