Cyborg 009 vs Devilman is so funny cuz it brought us the best Akira design and also one of the worst Ryo designs

I mean, okay, maybe Ryo doesn’t exactly look bad per se, but it’s so strange to see him consistently drawn to look much more older and jaded than Akira. And since Ryo canonically likes Akira in almost every incarnation that just makes it kinda weird?

Especially since they’re supposed to be around the same age and in Nagai’s art they were intentionally given essentially the same silhouette.

Like try to guess who is who here LOL

But yeah as someone who designs characters as a hobby I just found it to be an… interesting choice? Like there’s no way that can accidentally happen, it was intentional.

Though at the same time I haven’t watched this thing so if there’s a canon explanation for this choice (like if Ryo is older than Akira in this incarnation or something) then I’ll shut my mouth haha

#devilman #akira fudo #ryo asuka #cyborg 009 vs devilman #I should specify I am NOT shitting on it or insulting people who like the movie/designs #These are just my silly thoughts ahaha #ya know ya know #I won’t shit on something I haven’t even watched #I’m not a fan of designs that make Ryo look more mature than he is general tbh #If you read the manga you’ll very quickly realize that Ryo is smart but also emotionally immature and even a bit quick to flare up at times #he IS a teenage boy #So incarnations that make him more ‘adult’ by giving him a more grown design and a deeper voice and a more cold demeanor ->#just irk me a bit #Like save the maturity for the Satan design!! As a human Ryo is kinda a mess!!
