A new Devilman manga, Devilman Grimoire, began running in Champion Red magazine on 19 April 2012. It is written by Go Nagai and illustrated by Rui Takato. A remake of the original manga, it is set in the present day and stars Akira Fudo and Miki Makimura, who believes herself to be a witch. It features many characters from the original Devilman, but in different situations. It remains to be seen whether this series is connected to previous series of the Devilman universe (Devilman, {{spoiler|Violence Jack, Devilman Lady and Shin Violence Jack}}), or whether it is an alternate universe.
 
Devilman appears in the [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]] game, [[Sunday VS Magazine Shuuketsu Choujou Daikessen (Video Game)|Sunday VS Magazine Shuuketsu Choujou Daikessen]].
----
=== Trope examples: ===
* [[Action Girl]]: Miki but only in the original manga, where she borders on being a Sukeban. She's downgraded to more of a neutral female. In contrast Miko becomes a bit of a demon hunter in the third OVA and is something of a right-hand-lady to Akira.
* [[A Date Withwith Rosie Palms]]: Mikiko's (Miko) chapter in ''Neo-Devilman'', her first pages in the story has her touching herself while in deep thought as for why she doesn't see herself as a good girl. In this vision that's even how she became a devilmen in the first place, apparently demons like to possess girls at their ''moments''.
* [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]]: ''Neo-Devilman'' is basically this, given that it was made by ''17 different writers/artists'', everyone with a pencil and ink had a chance to share their view of the characters and portray some side-characters in a more protagonist light.
* [[Alas, Poor Yorick]]: After {{spoiler|Miki is dismembered and Akira kills everyone involved,}} he hugs her head to his chest and sobs in an incredibly [[Tear Jerker|tear-jerking]] scene.
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Miki takes a greater liking to Akira when he becomes a buffed-up badass.
Line 40:
* [[Blood Knight]]: Akira/Devilman.
* [[Bloodstained-Glass Windows]]
* [[Brought to You Byby The Letter "S"]]: In the [[Lighter and Softer]] anime series Akira wears a t-shirt with an ''A'' insignia; the ''AMON'' manga also has him in the iconic yellow shirt even though it follows the original manga more closely than the anime did.
* [[Cain and Abel]]: Ryo and Akira. {{spoiler|Satan and Amon in Amon manga}}
* [[Came Back Wrong]]: A softer version: Akira is a VERY shy and gentle boy when he starts the manga, but once he gets Amon's powers and becomes Devilman, he becomes WAY more callous and cocky, to the point some people are actually jarred by the change.
Line 55:
* [[Decoy Protagonist]]: Akira in the ''AMON'' manga, he only stars for about half the first volume and later only appears during flashbacks, his body is completely taken over by Amon who stars the series from start to finish but with a slight twist that in this version he isn't that different from Akira's Devilman persona itself.
* [[Deconstructor Fleet]]: Amon: The Darkside Of Devilman argurably takes original series and deconstructs few things. Original manga itself seems to deconstruct or [[Unbuilt Trope|unbuilt]] many common shonen tropes.
* [[Depending Onon the Artist]]: Satan {{spoiler|Ryo}}, in Nagai's hands s/he is not only a hermaphrodite, but Nagai draws him/her with female-like facial features and body curves, also in some designs he seems to imply that Satan's lower parts is that of a woman; other artists in the other hand, like Yu Kinutani from ''Amon/Strange Days'' and many others from ''Neo-Devilman'', maintains {{spoiler|Ryo}} male psyche even in Satan form, in some extremes they might draw Satan with a male lower part too; and yet the breasts are present in all renditions of Satan.
* [[Depending Onon the Writer]]: Satan's motivations for trying to bring his "order" upon earth, in some versions he is doing for human and demon kin well being (in his eyes) and for Akira of course, in others he is doing ''just'' for Akira and no one else.
** {{spoiler|In Amon all of those motivations are, to some extend, true - Satan wants to create better world for demons, but also wants to bring his own vision of order, which is why Amon opposes him. He reveals Akira's secret out of jealously towards Mikki because he thinks he is the only one who can save Akira.}}
* [[Devil but No God]]: Played in the live-action movie
Line 68:
* [[Everybody's Dead, Dave]]
* [[Evil Versus Evil]]: Amon vs other demons in the "Amon: The Apocalypse of Devilman"
* [[Expy]]: of ''[[Mao Dante (Manga)|Demon Lord Dante]]'', Go Nagai's earlier work.
** Ashura from Amon manga is clearly an expy of [[Mazinger Z|Baron Ashura]].
* [[Fake Memories]]: Nagai himself goes this way in his chapter for ''Neo-Devilman'', at the climax of Devilman vs. Satan battle, there's a flashback of Akira meeting Ryo for the first time at school, here Ryo seems to manipulate Akira's memories to make it so they already knew each other, implying that a few traces of Satan were there since the very begining.
Line 81:
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: The demon Kaim sacrifices his body & life to his beloved Silen so she can have the honor of killing Devilman.
* [[Heroic Willpower]]
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Mega Man (Videovideo Gamegame)|Dr. Wily]]!? Why are you a turtle, and more importantly, why are you eating people!?
* [[Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act]]: Ryo and Akira accidentally ''create'' Hitler by going back in time to stop a demon.)
* [[Horrifying Hero]]: Devilman.
Line 113:
* [[Something Person]]
* [[Spared By Adaptation]]:{{spoiler|Miki}} in the first anime series,{{spoiler|Susumu}} in the [[Live Action]] movie.
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: Shirenu has been spelled Silen, Sirene, Silene, Siren,... The list goes on and on.
** Name of Hell General serving Satan is either Zenon or Xenon.
* [[Stupid Evil]]: Amon at one point in ''Apocalypse of Devilman'' OVA, but the prize goes to demon sent to kill Mikki and Michiru in ''Devilman vs Getter Robo'' - Akira saves Mikki and demon escapes with Michiru, but, instead of outright killing her, he wastes time wondering if he should eat or rape her and concludes to do both right before Akira finds them and kills him.
