----------------------------------------
That was the best episode yet, in my opinion. The animation for the fight was so spectacular. This is what I was expecting from this show and I'm glad it's delivering. I'm again sad that another antagonist has left the show, but looking forward to what comes next since they did well to establish that it wasn't just Silene looking for Akira.

The change of ending song was great. I might pick up this soundtrack if they ever release it fully.

Well, I’m halfway through, and I’m kind of underwhelmed. Yeah, it’s cool and all, but I expect more from Yuasa. This just seems like the most basic, crowd pleasing thing he’s ever done. Music is good though as expected, lots of house and acid techno and I’m here for it. I had unrealistic expectations for this show, so maybe it my fault. We’ll see...

So we get Devilman vs. Silene in this episode. Nicely done, especially with its stylish visuals. But I think the fight worked better because of its soundtrack rather than its visuals. Anyways, now we'll be getting into the meat of Devilman. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Crybaby to bring up the anti-war themes.

This episode was awesome. He literally fucked her to death lmao! The animation and everything was great and the ending with her dying in place like that was pretty cool. Also it brought up the point that demons can experience love as well.

This show definitely isn’t afraid of sexual content and I’m glad it isn’t. Sex and sexual desire seems to have a big role in this show.

Devilman's semen is so strong it covers the ceiling!

Something's brewing with Miki vs. Miko...

Honestly, I was sort of expecting Akira to give in and completely lose his humanity with the combination of a sixteen-year-old boy's natural lust and the crazy feelings coming from his demon side. Thankfully, he still remains Devilman, the devil of justice!

"If you wanna get screwed that badly...I'll screw you!" The subtitles said 'fuck'. Why can the dub of this very adult anime not say 'fuck'? #LetDevilmanSayFuck

My thoughts were that in that moment the Demons found love and emotion, which is something that can’t naturally co-exist in a demon’s heart and as a result destroyed them. Idk

This anime contradict itself. For all, it attempts to humanize Akira and show us how compassionate he is I find it ironic that he literally rape a female to death. Is rape suppose to be appropriate just because she was a demon? The worst part about this is that the raping act could be what actually killed her in the end.That really fucked up. What was the team behind this anime thinking? Seriously.

Yes. Rape for demons is all about power. Sirene was his foe, and he ripped demons apart before. I don't see the problem.

But that the issue I have. The show constantly wants to tell its viewers that Akira may look like a demon but he has a human heart and wouldn't do horrible things. It actually more messed up that he rapes a dying person.

Gotta agree the rape was a really unnecessary addition. Otherwise Sirene got better treatment than Jinmen.

She was already dying, that's why she questioned Kaim's willingness to merge. The merge doesn't give her life, just more power for the duration she had to live.

This episode's mood.



A demon bird woman named Silene recognizes Akira as "Amon"; she wants to sex him. Things escalate into a fight. Just as Akira is about to defeat Silene, another demon named Kaim appears. He merges with her, and together they almost kill Akira until something petrifies them. I'm not entirely following what's going on, but holy shit is it entertaining. And I think I need the soundtrack.

what a chaotic episode that was pretty much based around Akira's sexual urges, also seems, not even seems but it is definite that Miko and that guy she was with are both half demon or whatever now.

the dude said he wanted Silene to feel the satisfaction of killing Devilman. Seeing as she died with the look of satisfaction on her face, we can conclude that she died the instant she felt the satisfaction; the instant the battle was "won"

The best episode so far. The moment where Devilman gets shocked by lightning and it's silent followed by the horn ramming through him and the intense music, that shit was cool.

Looks like Akira is a little on-edge. Will this fuck have satisfied him, or push him more toward the demon side? I would like to see Akira really struggling with Amon.

Definitely thought Silene was going to be the number 1 bad guy, but they introduced potential others this episode. The art style and animation continue to be neat if sparse, and there are some little things being done in this show that I've not really seen elsewhere.

It's too bad the rap guy with the dreads is an asshole now. Hoping to see more of the Rap Compadres. Also miko is hawwwwwt now too

So this episode covers the Silene fight. It went by pretty quickly, considering they spent an hour long OVA on this in the past, which I personally found to be better executed. This felt like more of a recap and Silene was portrayed as a lustful demon that just wanted Amon for his body, whereas the OVA made her seem more tragic as a prideful demon that was actually in love. Glad they kept the way she died intact though.

And is it just me, or is this series often too dark in particular scenes? Sometimes I could hardly make out what was happening in this fight.

That's the point of the "contradiction. the contradictions are there to establish the conflict of a devilman's nature, a being who possess both the destructive urges of a devil, and the heart of a man.
Akira wouldn't even lay a hand on an innocent girl, much less rape one. he realize "Silence" is nothing more than devil, so he chose to release his repressed urges on her, since she already came to him in the first place.

Also, Akira didn't rape Silence in the manga and yet she still died. so no, rape wasn't the cause of her death.

Well, it nice to know that he didn't rape Silene in the original work.
Contradicting acts in order to show Aira inner conflict is definitively welcomed in an anime like this one. The problem for me is I would have liked to see Akira struggling to embrace these urges and ultimately controlling them. he already chopped off Silene limbs and she was dying. This was unnecessary and disgusting. The point of inner conflict is to see the character struggle with internal dilemmas but see them make the right choice in the end. A rapist is a rapist whether or not he rapes an enemy or an innocent.I can't sympathize with a rapist.
It's one moment of this anime among others which left disappointed and I couldn't really care about what happens to Akira at this point.

This is absolutely stunning stuff. Visuals, music, art...just love it.

Miko got demoned and as a result is faster and stronger (and sexier too). Will she become an antagonish for akira too? Let's wait and see.

Miki is lucky that Akira hasn't jumped her yet. Let's face it, if he 'finishes' with that power, he's bound to hurt someone.

Fuck. Silene looks so horrible because of the animation. It's so distracting. ;-;

And Miko became a Devilman and a few people, too.

Stop with the disgusting wet dreams. It's not appealing at all in this show. I have no problem with it, but what the fuck is this show trying to achieve? Jesus.

It's interesting to observe how Western audiences became hypersensitive to a theme of rape in recent years. This is particularly noticeable in contrast to gruesome deaths of innocent people throughout the series which doesn't seem to bother anyone. Not that I'm being judgemental, it's just fascinating how rapidly cultural environment can shape public opinions.

SOOOO GOOD! I have so many questions that I didn't really consider before! Where did these demons come from? Why are they so organized? It'a like they came to the human realm with some purpose, ya know? How were Akira and Miko strong enough to subdue the demons that possessed them? Is Ryo simply doing this for research purposes?

But all of my questions pale in comparison to the one Akira raised at the end of the episode! And if that isn't love that I saw from Kaim towards Silene then I have no idea what love could possibly be.

This episode was cray! I'm glad Silene died with what she thought was a victory after how Akira fucked her up lol

Akira has jizz that lasts for days to weeks. Look at that creamed cieling! lol

Miko is faster, tougher with eyebrows on fleek! She and her boyfriennd Kukun upgraded to demons.

Did Ryo give Akira money to find a prostitute to relieve himself? lol what an awesome bro.

Did the store owner suspect the rap group because they simply had TATTOOS!? I like Hie the most now. He's my favorite rapper or rather boombox. He's so cute.

Devilman fucked/raped Silene. Ooooohkay. That's fucked up in so many ways. This show tries a little too hard to be edgy in that sense. I don't mind the sex scenes and gore and violence because they're what makes this show awesome but the rapes, Jesus fucking Christ. First, Miko then Silene. I don't care if she's a villain.

Yes, I accept that rape can be what gets the plot moving in any story, even in anime and manga (and can be part of a character's backstory and part of their character development yadda yadda) and dont get me started on how I abhor and look down on rapists in real life and believe all rapists, both men and women, should fucking die. I also look down on rapist apologists and think they're all scum. I hate Akira for that. Why couldn't he just kill Silene in another way instead of doing that?

Tattoos are still pretty stigmatized in Japan. Plus the tattoo matched one from, I forget the news story, a serial killer or gang of killers?

I feel that it was a pivotal scene to show Ryo's decline to his demon side versus Kaim's loving self-sacrifice. You're right about it being edgy.

The fight/fuck between Akira and Silene was not what I was expecting (the fuck part, that is). Because this an ONA, I shouldn't expect it to have the same restrictions as Japanese TV.

Everytime I rewatch the show (this is the fifth time I'm watching it, now, in the span of a month), the end to this episode feels more special. I just love how the series instantly transforms into a more morally gray story from this scene, it's amazing.
The start of the encounter between Akira and Sirene, is one of my favourite scenes. The nature of the scene and the music is brilliant, and exciting!
The actual fight is fun too, but I feel the lead up and the end to the fight are the best parts of the episode.
Of course, gotta love the timing to the music when Devilman gets impaled!
