devilman ramble- i'm not quite sure what the general take is but i consider crybaby ryo and manga ryo literal different entities... i feel like yuasa did have a decently profound take on him but stripped away so many qualities that made him ryo that i found it extremely disappointing what we ended up with... this isn't even about his design btw but ryo embodied and carried humanity's biggest flaws as an amnesiac human... he was erratic and insane and emotional and while he kept his affections for akira as a core part of his character in the anime it's like.. the WAY it's dealt with which irks me.. you don't really garner much sympathy for him as a character once he turns on akira until the very end where it's like... way too late to feel bad for him?

like i know manga ryo is not exactly the most consistently written character and his backstory is hilariously confusingly structured but having his Big Realization at the end be 'omg i love akira' rather than manga ryo who knew and acknowledged his love for akira but knowing he had no choice but to fight him because there's no other way to resolve it... and how he acknowledges at the very end atop that cliff in that whole monologue about how he basically acted the same way as the god he hated... it's so much more

the scene with xenon in the manga was Ok Awkward about the satan reveal but the internal conflict he was struggling with was so raw it was AWESOME also shoutout to this scene. the layers
