Here Akira Fudo is mostly unchanged, save for his hair being colored dark brown with his back hair standing up. Devilman's forhead was colored red and showed no fur. Instead of classical devilish horns, Devilman had a pair of small bat wings were his ears should be and a pair of antenna growing just above his nose. His head was likewise covered in fur, with sharp eyes, a pronounced aquiline nose and pointed teeth. On each side of his torso was a red stripe highly resembling a scar (although earlier artwork usualy depicts these as being long patches of fur). A pair of jet-black bat wings could grow form his back. His forearms were split in the middle into spiky tips. He also had a thin tail that ended in a triangular tip. He was of a strong Satanic appearance, having a pronounced musculature, with fur covering several parts of his torso, abdomen and the entirety of his legs, save his feet which displayed razor-sharp claws. After having taken possession of Amon, Akira became more muscular, with a far more accentuated frame, while his eyebrows grew larger, giving him a nearly perpetual menacing appearance.Īs Devilman, Akira became the spitting image of Amon.

He became a far more assertive and competitive man. Soon after Amon had been assimilated into Akira's body and mind the young man displayed a change in attitude and world views. To that end he was willing to partake in the Black Sabbath, despite earlier shame towards debauchery that came with it. The only reason Akira agreed to help fight back the demons was because he wanted to save his friends and loved ones from the coming threat. He believed that human weapons such as tanks and even the hydrogen bomb could easily eradicate demon kind and expressed this belief with a passion. Although reasonably afraid at the thought of the existence of demons, Akira believed in humanities ability to overcome great obstacles. In spite of this, he had demonstrated true loyalty to his friends and at a certain extent courage. Akira himself was shown to be rather ashamed of his bashful and meek attitude. According to Miki, Akira always ran away from fights during his childhood, which led to him being branded a coward by others.
