'''''Defense Devil''''' is a Japanese [[manga]] written by Youn In-Wan and illustrated by Yang Kyung-il. It is serialized by Shogakukan in Shōnen Sunday since April 22, 2009.<ref>It can be argued that it is a manwha due to the ethnicity of its creators. However, like [[Black God]], it is considered more proper to call it a manga due to the location of its publishers, its target audience due to the right-to-left orientation, and the definition of both terms that imply that the original publishing country of origin is a deciding factor. Do ''not'' contest over this in an edit war. If you feel that the need to start an argument over this, bring it over to the discussion page.</ref>
Kucabara was recently banished and stripped of his powers. In order to regain his powers, he needs dark matter which is found from human sinners. He decides to become a Defense Devil in order to get dark matter. A Defense Devil's duty is to prove the innocence of human sinner of his or her crime. Once that is done, a Defense Devil shall be allowed to take the sinner's dark matter. Kucabara then must prove the sinner's innocence before a Shinigami takes the sinner to hell. One day, Kucabara's friend Funi arrives and tells him the demon world is in dishevel and Kucabara must return to save it.

* [[Accidental Unfortunate Gesture]]: A little girl that Kuccabara saves, Jupiter, gives him a cross which is deadly to demons as a thank you gift, and then leads him to the girls shower when he could not touch the cross.
