(I desparately wanted to know exactly what was happening and since no one else was going to do it for me...)
So no selling, renting or anything else...

[Right... This is a very literal translation, and I have put in some scene descriptions but you are missing out on a lot if you don't have the manga. It looks wonderful. ^_^ No I'm not sick, you just miss out on a lot when you are reading a translation of something which is essentially a visual work.]

WARNING: (Again) - This will have strong language and viiolence in it. I can't help it, the manga's got it. So if you are going to be offended, click 'Back' on your browser now.


Page 3. (I have't skipped any. This is the number the manga starts at. Okay, so I skipped the cover page and the index.)

1.
[There is a burning building. Looks like a very big blaze with flames coming out of the windows.]
Akira: I have nothing.

2.
[A panel of Devilman's foot. Or some sort of demonic foot walking through the debris.]
Akira: Life has hope and happiness. Life even has meaning.

3.
Akira: I had to protect. But I couldn't do that.

4.
[In the smoke, see a half transformed Akira cradling Miki's head. Half transformed - his bottom half is transformed so he has a tail.]
Akira: But... Asuka Ryou! No... Great Evil Lord Satan!!

5.
[Close up of Akira's face, from forehead to just below his nose. His eyes look sad.]
Akira: I'm a bastard as well. I couldn't even fight a small battle.

6.
[Close up of Miki's eyes. They are half closed and look dead. (Well duh...)]
Akira: I couldn't even fight to protect her from humans. Earth's government is lost. I must live on, remaining human, or demon? Or Devilman?

(Note. The red Akira is because this is narrative and I assume it is Akira who is saying it.)


Page 4 - 5.

[This is a double spread. A crying and anguished Akira, still with Miki's bloody head held to his chest is on one page. While Asuka Ryou is one the other. Asuka Ryou is dressed in a suit, although his shirt is slightly unbuttoned. ]
Akira (thought): This is Satan's Victory.

Title: The Wicked Evil Confronted Again.

(Note: I would assume this is either a concept picture, or that if Ryou is actually there then Akira doesn't know who his is. But since Akira thinks that Ryou is partially responsible for Miki's death, I would assume Akira either can't see Ryou (since he is not attacking) or this is a concept picture.)


Page 6.

[This page is one of illustration. First panel is of some sort of thick goupy liquid. The next one is of a hole, or a depression in this liquid. The liquid is either flowing in or out from this hole. Next panel pulls back some more and shows that there are more depressions in this liquid. Also shows a little bit of the horizon. The fourth panel shows something, presumable spherical with lots of depressions in it and completly covered by the goupy liquid. Some stars are in the backgrounds. The final panel shows a planet, presumably Earth, almost completely covered by the liquid. Only a small section at the bottom has normal clouds and such, say about a quarter. There are lots of stars in the background.]


Page 7.

1.
[Shows a bald person with no pupils. He is sweating and has a lightning of recognition above him.]

Person: Huh!?

2.
[New panel shows six people sitting in the lotus position (I think it's that) floating in a cave or something. They are in a roughly circular arrangement but they are floating at different levels. In the centre of them providing the light are some bright spots.]

Person: Th... The image is forming now..!?

3.
[New panel showing the original speaker and someone much older. They're dressed in some sort of wrap around, off one shoulder and around their waists.]

Person: Earth is in choas. There is only apprehension.

Person 2 (The older one): What the..? What is the meaning of this semantic!?

4.
[Another panel, showing the person who was floating the highest. This person has an enlarged cranium. The original bald guy has his head bowed as he talks to him. By the way, while all of them are bald, the original one seems to be the youngest.]

Person: I don't know... But I have a premonition of something evil...

(Note: Lack of experience shows again. I guess this could be, 'But I have a premonition that something is wrong...')

5.
[Next panel has a close up of the second person's face. The old one, who isn't floating in the highest position. He's actually got pupils but his eyes are opened way past them.]

Person 2: Something powerful... What kind of person... I can feel strength and power...

6.
[This panel shows a close up of those bright spots. It's just white circles or various sizes letting of a glow drawn over each other.]

Person?: Is it good luck or bad luck..? Is it an enemy or ally..?

Person?: Human but also demon but not Devilman... What kind of think has this strength...?

7.
[Beneath all the panels there is a little note, with a black star.]

Note: This manga is fiction. The characters/people, companies, places, countries and names within these pages do not bear any relation to real people and places.

(Note: Since these bald people are going to appear again, and I don't know their names, I would prefer not to call them Person 1, 2 etc... So I will name them now. There first one, who originally spoke, young, no pupils - Young Bald. The person who is floating at the highest position with the enlarged cranium - Big Head. There is one of them with quite prominent brow bones - Brow Bones. I'll name the others as they get dialogue. If you do happen to know their names and you tell me, I will fix it, since they seem to be well aquainted with what is happening.)


Page 8.

1.
[First panel shows some house which are melting. There are some houses in the back ground that look intact.]

2.
[Panel shoes that people have also been reduced to goup. It looks like it was a painful process.]

3.
[Close up of someones feet. They have shoes and pants on and don't appear to be affected by the gouping process. There is also a face poking out from the goup.]

4.
[Miiko is drawn over this panel. She's also sort of over panels 2 and 3 but she is looking towards panel 4.  In the back ground there is sky and a building which is melting. Miiko is wearing a checkered cap. A striped turtle neck skivy and a jacket over it. Also some jeans. Normal casual cloths.]

Miiko: Wh... What happened here?


Page 9.

1.
[Miiko appears to be running through the houses that have melted. Again in the back ground there are some which haven't been affected.]

Miiko (thought): Everyone's houses... are melting together...

Miiko (thought): Akira-san...?

2.
[The back of Miiko's head. There are speed lines in the back ground. The edge of her cap is beginning to melt, although she hasn't noticed yet.]

Miiko: What's that!?

3.
[A panel showing lots of almost completely gouped houses. There is one sort of pillar with a head resting on top of it. The head, has not been affected by the goup at all. (Miki's head.)]

4.
[Close up of Miki's head. Hair's blowing around a little, eyes almost completely closed. While it's resting on goup, it's not affected.]

5.
[Miiko looking down at Miki's head.]

Miiko: Miki-san's head... To be ignored and left in such a place...

6.
[Small panel showing Miiko's feet. Her shoes and trousers are beginning to melt.]

Miiko: Why..?


Page 10.

1.
[Panel of Miiko standing there looking very surprised as her cloths melt and drip off her body.]

2.
[Not so much a panel as a close up of Miiko's head as her clothing melts. Her eyes are wide and her mouth is open in surprise.]

Miiko: Wh... Why has everything roused?!

Miiko: Akira-san!!

3.
[Panel is of a subway or some sort building. But it's in ruins. There is a stair case but there is rumble on it and everything seems broken.]

4.
[Panel shows three hobos (homeless people) sitting on some sort of matt in the corner. They are listening to a news broadcast which is over panels 3 and 4.]

New's Cast: Special News Update about the current situation.

New's Cast: Tokyo's OOO Ward at the moment is a class 1 destruction zone. The demon alarm is sounding. Please exit the area.

(I don't know which ward it is since there are some words obscured here. I don't think it really matters. Also the New's Cast is using hyper polite language.)


 Page 11.

1.
[The panel shows the backs of the homeless people and they are watching a televised news cast. It is showing the melting houses. There are two females and one male. The younger female has short spiky hair and is 'dressed' (If you can call it that) in what looks like straw tied on with a string around her waist. The man is dressed in some sort of tiger skin, off one shoulder and covering everything. He's got a beard and looks unkempt. The other woman (I think it's a woman) is older and has a hat that doesn't have a crown, so her hair is poking through that.]

New's Cast: All Citizens, please proceed with all speed to your designated shelter in accordance with the instructions from the Special Demon Troops.

(Note: For the Special Demon Troops - I think it's that. It's actually Akuma Toku Sou Tai In. And while I could find the kanji for them, I couldn't find the particular kanji that was used for Sou in this case. I may just be being blind. So my guess is that it's Special Demon Troops but it could be Special Anti Demon Troops. Not that it really matters. Watashi no baka! I just checked some things. I claim to be a DragonBall fan and I couldn't even remember that the Ginyu force is 'Tokusoutai!' So that confirms it. It's Special Demon Troops or Forces, or something along those lines.)

2.
[Next panel is a close up of the tv screen. It's showing some people in white outfits with helmets, back packs and guns directing an evacuation of civilians. They look like troops, but their suits aren't biohazard suits. ^_^ These are the troops I was talking about.]

New's Cast: To repeat the News. Up to now...

3.
[Panel shows a front view of the homeless people. The man is picking his nose.]

Old Lady: Hmm... Scary

Man: Yes...

4.
[Panel shows a close up of Akira on the tv screen. He is looking very guant and the shoulder scars he has are very prominent. In the back ground there are some demons. He is also looking very menacing.]

New's Cast: ...Continuing, we have a notice about the person causing this from the Special Troop Head Quarters.

5.
[This panel shows multiple pictures of Akira. Since the tv screen was one of those ones of nine tv's arranged in a three by three pattern the picture has split so that each screen is now showing Akira. The back ground and the picture hasn't changed.]

New's Cast: Asuka Ryou has consulted about the demons and this is how their true colours have been exposed... There is a world wide search to find Fudou Akira...

New's Cast: Today a $10,000,000 reward was offered for information leading to his location.


Page 12.

1.
[Panel shows a close up of the young homeless girl. She has noticed something.]

New's Cast: ... however. Asuka has kindly provided this information.

(Actually I'm really not sure about this line at all.)

2.
[This panel has the television screens again. They are still split and showing pictures of Akira. On the wall next to them there is a shadow of someone walking by. You see a little of their jacket.]

New's Cast: Fudou Akira is of the demon race. (It is inside him.) If this is the case, he is an extremely powerful individual...

3.
[Television screens have gone back to displaying one large version of Akira. The person walking by can now be seen. Someone fairly tall, wearing a black trench coat.]

New's Cast: The recommendation from the Special Demon Troops Head Quarters is for immediate evacutation. They thank the people for their cooperation.

4.
[Close up of the person walking by. It's Akira, looking somewhat downcast.]

5.
[The three homeless people have drawn together and have pulled back from what they are seeing. They look scared.]

Homeless people: A... Aa....


Page 13.

1.
[Close up of Akira's eye. Looks normal. A bit sad.]

2.
[Comically drawn panel of the homeless people fleeing. They have their arms up in the air and have left behind their few belongs in a cloud of dust.]

Homeless people: Devil....!!!

3.
[Waits up picture of Akira watching them leave. What ever he has on under the coat is skin tight covers everything, extending up his neck. It looks like body armor. He actually looks a little pleased at their reaction.]

Akira: Hmm....

Akira: Devil...?

(Side note: His jacket has a little label on it written in english. It reads 'Crossroads.' Side Comment - very symbollic but not too subtle.)

4.
[Close up of Akira's eyes. They are still normal but this time he is looking at something.]

5.
[Back view of Akira. He has walked past the televisions and they are still showing a close up of him.]

6.
[Panel of the televisions. They are beginning to melt like everything else. Presumably Akira told them to with his very significant look at them in the previous panel.]


Page 14.

1.
[Panel shows all the television screens with Akira melting, going to goup.]

2.
[Close up of Akira's eye, as seen by the television screens. It looks like he is crying.]

3.
[Panel of some houses which have not been affected by the goop.]

New's Cast: The demon invasion has been confirmed and continues!

4.
[Panel showing a scene from inside one fo the houses. It shows a young woman watching television.]

New's Cast: Watch the speech and conduct of the people around you. It is enough to give warning. Don't ignore it please.


Page 15.

1.
[Scene has moved around to show the front of the girl. She appears to be having tea while watching the television. Her head is resting on her hand.]

New's Cast: Even watch parents and children, husbands and wives.

Girl: What a disagreeable thing...

New's Cast: Carelessness must be guarded against! Demons are...

2.
[View of some feet in socks. The door has closed behind them.]

3.
[View of girl, turning around with some surprise. She looks apprehensive about something.]

Girl: Huh...

4.
[Picture goes back to a long view. The girl has gotten up from the table to look at the man who has entered. He has a rifle of some sort and appears to be breathing hard.]

Girl: You... You've come in... How are you neighbour-san?

Man: Demons are... I just barely... They've massacred everyone...

(The girl is actually quite polite if somewhat surprised at the invasion of her house.)

5.
[Close up of the man. He is sweating and looks really stressed by something.]

Man: Devils...

Man: To be at ease is what puts humans at a disadvantage. That's the problem!

6.
[Close up of the girl. She is looking away and looks sad or regretful about something.]

Girl: But we...

Girl: When we're noticably the same? We meet...

7.
[Close up of the guy. That sweat has changed to look like he is beginning to melt. But he doesn't appear to have noticed it yet. He is more aggitated about what the girl said.]

Man: What did you say!?

Man: You! I don't believe it...!

8.
[A view from the ceiling. The girl has come around the table and is facing the man. The man is pointing at her and shouting.]

Girl: Wh... What...!!!

Man: Hmm.... So. No! You! Recently your appearance has been strange!!


Page 16.

1.
[Panel of the man and girl. They are facing each other and shouting. The man has pointed the rifle at the girls head. It's not that far from her mouth.]

Girl: What did you say?!

Man: Shut up!!

2.
[Panel of the girl. She looks surprised about something and there are two exclaimation marks in the corner.]

Girl: Y... You...

3.
[Picture of the guy. He's rabid and sweating and obviously not listening to reason.]

Man: Devil... I won't be deceived. I won't...

Man: I have to do this to be saved!!

4.
[Close up of the girls eye. There is a trailing line from her pupil.]

Girl: Y... Y...

Girl: Your arm?

5.
[Close up of the guys eye. He is sweating profusely.]

Man: My arm...?

6.
[Picture of the guys hand. His trigger finger and the gun and hand are fusion/melting into one.]

7.
[Picture of a very surprised guy looking down at his hand and gun melting together. His brought his other hand around to try to cradle the melting gun.]

Man: Uwa!!



 

Page 17.

1.
[Close up of the guy's forehead melting.]

2.
[Picture has drawn back a bit to show that the man's whole body is melting. The girl has backed up against the television set in revolution.]

Man: Uwa

Man: Uwaaaa!!

Girl: Kyaaaaaa!!

3.
[The girl hasbacked up against the television set and is looking horrified towards where the man is.]

Girl: D... Devil!!

4.
[Close up of the girls shoulder and a the television set beginning to melt into each other.]

5.
[The girl and the television set are melting into each other. The shot has drawn back a bit to show that her whole body is almost falling through the set. There are small electricity lines running between her and the set.]

Girl: Kyaaaaaaaaaa!!

New's Cast: Continuing. Now that the Metropolitan Police Head Quarters...

(Note: Even the sound effects are melting. ^_^)

6.
[The picture is of the outside of the house showing it mostly intact by some of the roofing is melting.]

Girl: NOooooo!!

New's Cast: At present... Metropolitan.... Police.... Headquarters... are....



 

Page 18.

1.
[Shows some industrial section of a building. Say the services section of an office building.]

Narrative Box: Special Demon Troops Head Quarters.

Someone: You fucks! No more of your back talk. You bastards!!

2.
[Shows some bars, like those of a prison or cell.]

Someone: Quick now. In this place, we have the advantage!!

3.
[Shows two school kids looking out from the bars at three heavily armed guards.]

Guard 1: Be quiet! Nice like.

Guard 1 or 2: You're the servants of the devil.

(I checked this in a dictionary and the actual phrase was 'limb of the devil.')

4.
[Close up to Guard 1.]

Guard 1: You fucks are Fudou Akira's hands and feet. Do you work hard at his beck and call? Do you understand me? You traitors!

(Basically the guards insulting them.)

Guard 1: But you've got one more duty. A bait, so that we can catch Fudou... Afterall, that's all your good for, bastards!!

5.
[Close up of the kids in the cell. One is taller and has a protruding jaw (Dosu Roku, Dosu 6). The other is short, blond and somewhat more chubby.]

Dosu 6: You fucking idiot!! What are you thinking?! You want to stop the person who was already fighting and who can lead us against the powers of evil!?

Other: You'd stop the humans winning hand? You'd kill yourself. Do you understand?

6.
[Close up of Dosu 6. He's crying.]

Dosu 6: Fudou is our brother. OUR BROTHER!

(Fudou is not actually their brother in the family sense of the word. But it's a Japanese habit for children, or in this case someone a bit more grown up to call someone older their brother or sister.)



 

Page 19.

NOTE I'm going to be a bit more brief on scene descriptions since they are taking too long. Buy the manga. I'll describe scenes I like in more detail though. ^_^

1.
[Close up of Dosu 6's fist. He has clenched his hand so tightly he is bleeding from his palm.]

Dosu 6: He's someone we should be showing gratitude to, you ape...

Dosu 6: All by himself he unreservedly fought the demons. He protects humans...

2.
[Dosu 6's face again. He's really crying this time.]

Dosu 6: You fuck! To make a point you're going to murder my bother!!

Dosu 6: You're the fucking demons in this!!

3.
[Guard 1 has brought his baton down on the bars.]

Guard 1: Shut up!!

4.
[View of the guard from between the bars. See the backs of Dosu 6 and other.]

Guard 1: You bastards think you're something? You'll always be the dregs.

Guard 1: You've got no right to live.

5.
[Close up of the guards eye.]

Guard 1: You're less than a bug...

Guard 1. Right now we're crushing you bastards... Wh?

6.
[Close up of the baton and the bar, which are beginning to melt into each other.]

7.
[The bar and the baton are virtually one now and are really goupy.]



 

Page 20.

1.
[The guard is pulled up to the bars.]

Guard 1: Gu...!

2.
[The guard begins melting into the bars adn his eyes really start to bulge.]

3.
[Guard and bars that are really liquidy sort of look like they are reaching into the cell.]

Guard 1: Uwaaa!!

4.
[Dosu 6 and other look rather surprised at what is happening.]

Dosu 6: Wh... What is this?

5.
[Guards, tables and everything else are melting into one and the whole mess is churning about.]

Guard 1: Kyaaa!!

Guard 2: Waa!!



 

Page 21.

1.
[Dosu 6 and other are going through the melting bars. They don't appear to be effected by the melting.]

Other: That's not the point. Run for it!!

2.
[The whole corridor is filled with the goo and it appears to be cascading down the corridor towards the reader.]

3.
[Frame of Dosu 6 and other running away from the melting.]

Other: Uwawawa!!

4.
[Picture of goo.]

5.
[Picture of an uneffected part of a building. and a ventilation shaft. The windows have bars on them.]



 

Page 26.

1.
[The ventilation shaft cover is off its hinges.]

2.
[Frame of Dosu 6, crawling out from the ventilation section.]

3.
[Frame of some sneakered feet on solid ground.]

4.
[Dosu 6 is looking out at the world while the other is climbing out of the ventilation shaft.]

Dosu 6: Owa?!

Other: Wh... What is this?

5.
[Close up of Dosu 6.]

Dosu 6: What is happening?

6.
[Finally a panel of the world and basically everything has been gouped.]



 

Page 23.

1.
[The goup begins swirling.]

2.
[A couple of human heads emerge. They are half goup and look to be in pain. You couldn't tell who they used to be.]

3.
[Close up of, I assume, Dosu 6's eye. Wide with surprise and horror.]

4.
[Dosu 6 is backed against the solid wall while a tower of goup, composed of many people rises up at him. The goup is made up of lots of peoples faces and body parts.]

Goup: Waaaaaa!!

5.
[Close up of the goup and the half composed peope and parts in it. (Side note, they all have good teeth still.)]

Goup: U... oo....

Goup: Help....me....

6.
[Dosu 6 and the other are backing away and look horrified and scared.]

Other: Co... Come off it!!

Other: Hiii!!

(I think it's come of it. I'm not sure about that line.)



 

Page 24.

1.
[Close up of a knotted belt flying through the air.]

2.
[The loop in the belt hits Dosu 6's forehead.]

Dosu 6: U...

3.
[Frame of Miiko on some balcony above Dosu 6 and other. She was the one who threw the life line.]

Dosu 6: Miiko!!

Miiko: Dosu 6-san, hurry!!

4.
[Another shot of sneakers on solid ground.]

5.
[Frame is pulled out a bit to show everyone on the balcony. Dosu 6 and other are crouched over breathing hard while Miiko is standing over them.]

Miiko: Are you alright?

Dosu 6: Haa, haa. Yo... You saved us...

(This isn't meant as a question, more of an affirmation and thanks.)

6.
[Side view of Dosu 6.]

Dosu 6: What in the world is happening?

7.
[Front view of Miiko. She hasn't managed to find any clothes yet.]

Miiko: I don't know.... Existance has relaxed. Everything is combining. Living things have fused too...

Miiko: Demons have this exact ability to fuse. But it's a reckless way of winning...

8.
[View of Dosu 6 and other.]

Other: But I...

Dosu 6: We are safe.



 

Page 25.

1.
[Close up of Dosu 6.]

[Picture of someone sitting slumped on the stairs leading to a run down merry go round.]

4.
[Close up of the person. It's Akira and he looks very sad and depressed.]



 

Page 26.

1.
[A gun is leveled at Akira's temple at point blank range. He actually looks up for this.]

2.
[Frame is drawn back a little to show some punks. Their leader is holding the gun. Got a skull with and eye back as his motif on his back.]

Gang Leader: You are FUDOU AKIRA!

3.
[Close up of Akira. He looks kind of amused.]

Akira: ...You're wrong...

Akira: I'm not that detestable Fudou Akira...



 

Page 27.

1.
[Gang leader looks slightly surprised but not too concerned, afterall he's got the gun.]

Gang Leader: Don't play innocent...

Gang Leader: You are the most wanted person in the world....

(The gang leader actually says notable. Oh well...)

2.
[Close up of Akira's eye.]

Akira: I'm not Fudou Akira.

3.
[Gang Leader looks pissed off and a bit worried about Akira's calm.]

Gang Leader: I'll teach you some manners.

[Fires gun.]

4.
[Close up of Gang Leader looking very surprised.]

Gang Leader: $10,000,000... That you...

5.
[Picture of Akira. The gun was fired three times and the bullets have stopped just short of his head. They are hovering before Akira now. His expression is sort of smug but I'd also say bored.]

6.
[Close up of something long, thin and black moving very fast.]



 

 Page 28.

1.
[Close up of the Gang Leader's head. He has a very surprised expression and there is something protruding through his forehead and out the back of his head.]

Gang Leader: Gu...

2.
[Akira in the foreground. In the back ground, the thing running through the Gang Leaders head has picked him up.]

3.
[Other members of the gang, including the compulsory woman showing a lot of bosom, are horrified by the developments.]

Gang Members: Uwaa!?

4.
[Gang Leaders head being slammed into the ground, obviously shattering the skull. Some blood. The black thing is still there.]



 

Page 29.

1.
[The long thin black thing moving again, but it has pulled out of the gang leaders head.]

2.
[Wide shot. Shows Gang Members looking at the origin of the long thin black thing. Akira has grown his tail and it is protruding. Although his sitting position is still slumped. He has a hand gesturing vaguely at the bullets.]

3.
[Akira gestures at the bullets and even gives them a contemptuous look.]

4.
[Close up of the bullets beginning to melt.]

5.
[Close up of the woman looking down with some surprise.]

6.
[Someone's feet are beginning to melt into the ground.]



 

Page 30.

1.
[The ground has become completely liquid and even appears to have some waves. The Gang Members are trying to stay upright but are all being incorporated into the goup.]

Gang Member: Uwaa.....

Gang Member: Waaa....

2.
[Close up of one of the horses on the merry go round beginning to melt.]

3.
[The gang members have almost completely become goup. Like the people earlier there are some body parts visable. On an interesting note, but one that was expected, the male gang members, despite being melted have retained their clothes but the woman has lost hers, revealing her very ample bosom.]

4.
[Waves of goup and the last barely visable face of a gang member.]



 

Page 31.

1.
[Close up of Akira's face looking pretty demonic and quite smugly happy. In the back ground there is lots of goup on what remains of the merry go round. Eyes are still human.]

2.
[Picture of the goup with a person's face and a horses head.]

3.
[Picture of the goup retracting or reforming solid ground.]

4.
[Picture of Akira's feet standing on solid ground. The goup is parted around him. Looks like his feet and legs are partially transformed because he isn't dressed apart from the coat. As I said, he has something which looks like body armor on. (Partial transformation.)]

5.
[Back view of Akira with the goup parting before him to form a solid path.]



 

Page 32 and 33.

[This is a double spread. It shows lots of goup with many waves and peoples faces and body parts. There is also parts of the merry go round mixed in. Akira is walking along a path that is free from the goup and it seems to be forming just for him. He is definitely not concerned by what is happening around him.]

[View of the cave in India. If I haven't said so, that's where it is.]

Someone: Fudou has...?

Someone: Up until now his grip has been firm...

2.
[Close up of Young Bald.]

Young Bald: His consciousness is exceedingly weak. This can't be good....

3.
[Picture of Big Head.]

Big Head: He may have closed his mind completely because the girl, Miki was killed.

4.
[Picture of Young Bald, Brow Bones and someone else talking.]

Young Bald: What?!

Other: Look at this!!

Brow Bones: Everyone, concentrate!!

5.
[Close up of Young Bald. In the back ground is the mental movie screen they are watching.]

6.
[Frame of someone, standing on top of a half melted building.]

1.
[Picture of Akira. He is standing on a cross, which has tipped over. It's being supported by goup and was once on top of a church building. There are lots and lots of people and body parts showing up in the goup.]

2.
[Close up of Akira. Hands in pockets and jacket streaming out behind him. He seems quite content.]

1.
[Frame of boots and legs running.]

2.
[Frame of lots of people running through the destruction. They are all looking towards the person standing on the cross in the distant back ground. They aren't effected by the goup.]

3.
[All the people who were running before are still watching the person on the cross in the distant back ground, but they are making some effort to duck down out of sight. Also in the distant back ground there are buildings which don't appear to be affected.]

4.
[Back to the cave in India. The old men are talking.]

Other: The Special Demon Troops have got Fudou surrounded.

Big Head: Demon?

Young Bald: Not a good move... in these conditions!

5.
[Close up of Young Bald.]

Young Bald: Hurry! What type of people are the Devilman Army Corps (Gun Dan)...? He's beginning his transformation....

Young Bald: I'll try to make contact with him at the same time!

6.
[Close up of someone else there. He is old as well.]

Old Guy: Fudou must be brought back at any cost! Call to Fudou! The Devilman Army Corps cannot hope to win in this!

(Basically the Devilman Army Corps are Miiko, Dosu 6 and the other - Akira's friends. And when the other guy says that they can't win, I think he means that they can't bring Akira back. Maybe he means that if they fought him, they'd be slaughtered.)

[Close up of Young Bald.]

Young Bald (thought): However... This time the transformation...

Young Bald (thought): In the worst case we may be of service. It will be difficult. A severe trial....

2.
[Picture of Dosu 6, Miiko and the other riding on some sort of flying demon. There are a couple of other flying demons with them They are flying through relatively undamaged buildings. By the way, they have managed to find a jacket for Miiko. (Her nudity, or lack there of doesn't offend me. The same goes for other female characters. It just amuses me, from a womans prespective how often girls are drawn naked or semi naked in comparison with guys. Maybe I'm just reading the wrong mangas.)]

3.
[Close up of Dosu 6, Miiko and other. Miiko seems to have seen something while Dosu 6 is looking behind himself.]

Dosu 6: ... We've got to find our brother fast!

Miiko: It looks like the Special Demon Troops have got him surrounded!!

4.
[Close up of Dosu 6.]

Dosu 6: Darn! Things such as the Special Troops won't defeat our Brother!!

[Close up of a trooper. I would assume he is the field leader.]

Trooper: Everyone, prepare for action. Commence attack in three minutes.

3.
[Shows a picture of troops beginning to come out of hiding.]

Trooper: The objective is a Demon Leader. So let's make this quick!!

Trooper: Get ready to go!!

(This is in blue because these are radio signals that are being sent between the troopers.]

4.
[Picture of a trooper hiding in some rubble. In the back ground, Akira standing on the cross is visable.]

Trooper (thought): 500 of us, for just one man? He must be good!

5.
[Back view of Akira. His body position hasn't changed.]

Akira: They've all swarmed out... to try to do this in various ways.... Come out...

6.
[Close up on Akira's face.]

Akira: Come out Satan.

[An exclaimation mark appears in front of him.]

5.
[Close up of Akira's eye.]

Akira: Oh... I see them...



 

Page 40.

1.
[Close up of Akira from the waist up. Because of the angle you can't see his eyes.]

Young Bald (telepathy): They've almost joined you. In the beginning you were alone. You can't return to that.

Akira: It's not finished yet...

2.
[Close up of Young Bald. He seems distressed about something and is sweating quite hard.]

Young Bald: Wh... What did you say Fudou!?

3.
[Close up of Akira's eye. The pupil is looking rather elongated, like a cat's.]

Akira: Idiot! You...

Akira: Still don't understand?

4.
[Close up of Akira. He is taking off his jacket. That body armor is indeed part of his transformation and he has spikes coming out of it in places.]

Akira: I am...

Akira: not Fudou! Not HIM!!

5.
[Close up of Young Bald's eye. He is really sweating and blood vessels are popping up. Also breathing hard.]

Young Bald: Wh... What...

4.
[Akira's back has gained a whole lot of mass and he has bent over.]

5.
[Close up of Akira's cat like eye.]

6.
[The wings are beginning to protrude in a noticable winglike fashion.]



 

Page 42.

1.
[Looks like the transformation, body wise, is complete. Wings are coming out of his back but Akira still has hair and doesn't have a tail.]

2.
[Wider shot showing some troopers looking at what is now occupying the cross. Akira has bet over so that his wings are poking straight up. His tail is beginning to form in this shot.]

Trooper: 10 Seconds.

Trooper: What the!?

3.
[Akira's hair has gotten longer and his has fangs and is beginning to grow head spines.]



 

Page 43.

[This page is a collage of smaller images over the larger picture of an almost completely transformed Akira. His mouth in the back ground is open showing off his very impressive fangs had he has claws and spines every where. His eyes are in shadow.]

Akira: UAAAAAAA

Other Friend: B... Brother!!

Dosu 6: Brother!!

Miiko: Akira-san!!

[They all look a little concerned, as if something is not quite right.]

Yound Bald: Aha! I... I knew it!! (he looks very concerned.)

[Panel of troopers beginning to emerge with their guns pointed forward.]

Trooper: Five second!!

Trooper: Four.

Trooper: Three.

Trooper: Two.
 

[Close up of Akira's cat like eye.]

Akira: I am!!

[Close up of a gun.]

Trooper: ATTACK!!



 

Page 44 - 45.

[Double spread showing a fully transformed Akira with various people and shots arranged around him. He looks like he would be very formidable in combat.]

[Yound Bald beginning to goup suddenly.]

Yound Bald: Guwa!!

[Young Bald toppling backwards, goup flying from his body.]

One of the other old people: Ua!?

[The rubble that the troops were creeping through is completely goup and is quickly turning them into goup as well. They aren't even the slightest bit interested in attacking anymore.]

Trooper: Waaaa!!

Trooper: Aaa

Trooper: Kya

[Miiko and the others are shielding themselves with their hands from the light and gouping process which accompanied Akira's transformation. It looks like the thing they are riding is partially gouped.]

Miiko: Uwaa!!

[Close up of Dosu 6.]

Dosu 6: Brother!!

[Close up of Miiko. Her jacket is gouping itself.]

Miiko: Kya!!

[Close up of Big Head shouting.]

Big Head: Tha... That's not Fudou!! (He's been a) puppet...

(The last bit 'He's been a' is not actually there. The only thing that is, is the word (hiragana) for puppet or manipulation.)



 

Page 46 - 47.

[Close up of Amons face. He's got very long fangs and on the whole is more spindally, or has more protrusions that Devilman.]

Amon: I AM AMON

Chapter 1 End.


Page 39 Note, if you haven't worked it out by now. What happened there was Amon was in control of the body and was confused at being called by Akira's name.

Other notes. This whole section was fun and exciting. Even when I was translating it I could sense the excitement. Maybe I just like twisted situations. ^_^
