Akuma-kun (2023) sketches?!

Some Ichirō sketches to itch my brain while I desperately try to stay focused on my comic (I’m battling three different interests rn my brain is an all out warzone)

[a-e-s-h-m-a]

Thinking about how Ichiro's hair used to reflect Strophaia's, then got cut to look more like Shingo's.

They both want Ichiro to fit their idea of who he is, changing his appearance to help with that.

Maybe that's why Strophaia kept messing with Ichiro's hair, especially the two little parts that stick up- he's like "lol. My aeshma needs me to bring him back from Shingo's influence!! Poor aeshma"

Anyway what I'm trying to say is Ichiro should get a haircut that's entirely his own

Major Akuma Kun (2023) spoilers, warning you rn

Yk what gets me about this show is that it would've been really easy to make Strophaia a big bad evil villain who simply uses Ichiro and manipulates him for his own gain. But they don't. They make a point to show that Ichiro loves Strophaia, and that Strophaia loves him, too. That's why Strophaia wants to release everyone's light, I think- or at least, a big part of the reason. He wants to free Ichiro, to have him by his side- and to do that, he needs to have Ichiro be like him.

Unless Ichiro has some special powers aside from being Akuma Kun, he's really just some normal boy. Strophaia was surprised that he had some hidden destiny. This tells me that Ichiro specifically wasn't needed to free the woman in chains. But Strophaia wanted him to do it. He didn't want anyone else to do it, he wanted Ichiro to be the one to choose to free himself and everyone. And he would have, if Shingo and Mephisto II didn't take Ichiro.

Strophaia feels as though his loved one was taken from him, was stolen. That's why he wants to torture Shingo, even after the man is near death already. He didn't care to torture Mephisto III- he was honestly just a casualty in this whole thing. Something to push Ichiro to the edge of grief so the flute would finally break. In his eyes, his beloved Aeshma was stolen and forced into a role he never wanted to have. And honestly? He's not too off the mark. Ichiro had a lot of trouble dealing with this destiny that was thrown onto him, who wouldn't?

It's Strophaia's love that pushes him to do what he does. He's older than almost everyone in the show, save for Satan. But he loves this human. This seemingly random human who was abandoned by his kind.

It's Ichiro's love that both causes Strophaia to almost win, and also the thing that defeats him. For now.

It's just... idk. In a lot of shows they have the protagonist go up against someone they hate, someone who's harmed them or their loved ones and seemingly has no good qualities. But when shows make the motivation love? Ourgh. Ourgh. It's so good. I don't even mean romantic love here. Platonic, familial, any kind of love. Love isn't this pure thing that will solve everything. Love is messy. Love is hard. And I really like how they show that. All the people Ichiro loves hurt him in some way, and he hurts them back, too. Not out of maliciousness- simply out of being human. Despite, yk, a good portion of the cast being demons. But I digress.

I really hope season two takes a closer look at all the.... conflicted feelings Ichiro definitely has. Strophaia is most likely returning, considering they didn't use that scroll. I want to see where their relationship heads. Honestly, I can see a redemption or a double down from Strophaia.

Another thing I wanna point out is how desperate Strophaia was to stop Ichiro from using the flute. He shields himself with his wings, he looks downright terrified. He's begging, repeating "Aeshma" over and over as his voice cracks. It's just. So gripping. Strophaia had all the confidence in the world that Ichiro would come back to him, and not only did Ichiro not do that- he aimed to kill him. Like. Ourgh. Obviously Strophaia needed to be defeated, man's was hurting people, but. Imagine the betrayal. Heck, how Ichiro feels. He's doing the same thing he did all those years ago, what accidentally separated him and Strophaia in the first place- what started the cracks in the flute!!! It's just!!!! Ourgh!!!!!!!!!

Akuma Kun (2023) Theory (Spoilers Ahead)

This thought/theory is very long so I apologize in advance lol.

So i've recently watched all 12 episodes of Akuma Kun on Netflix and let me say I love the concept and characters for the show. I found out that this is actually like a sequel to the 1989 ver. Akuma Kun and tried to watch that, but sadly could only find 11 episodes online.

Getting to the point, in both versions it states that an Akuma Kun comes around every 10 000 years, yet in the 2023 show it seemed to show a small time gap, revealing all the old characters all grown up. Ichiro was found by Shingo Umoregi (the first Akuma Kun) and Mephisto the Second in the demon world when he was a child. While Shingo and Mephisto fought Strophaia, Soloman's Flute reacted to Ichiro. In the 1989 version, Professor Faust told Shingo that Soloman's flute will only react to the true Akuma Kun.

So my question is how is it possible for Ichiro to be the new Akuma kun when an Akuma Kun only comes every 10 000 years? Especially since Shingo is still alive.

My theory is that in the 2023 version, Ichiro was apparently abandoned by both humans and demons alike. I also looked up other versions of the Akuma kun series, and found that there was another version of Akuma Kun where the main character was named Ichiro Matsushita and his hair colour is similar as well. What if there was time travel involved somehow and Ichiro actually came from the past? It might explain why he was all alone. Maybe Strophaia brought him to the future since he's a powerful angel and has unexplainable powers? There was also the fact that Strophaia freaked out when Ichiro held the flute, so maybe he knew Ichiro was Akuma Kun?

My beautiful baby boy Ichiro/Aeshma just a few days after being taken in by Shingo. Where did his red friend go?

[kingscrafty]

Just finished Akuma Kun (the new Netflix series) and was drawn to it because I used to enjoy GeGeGe no Kitaro! It was thoroughly enjoyable and I adore Mephisto III's character.

Unfortunately I was trying to find drawing references and couldn't find his demon form, so had to make my own. It's a shame we don't get a fullbody pic of him, so can't see what his hands or feet look like, but the images above at least give a couple of perspectives and get his full wing design in. Here's hoping we get a season 2, and if so we need more of this form! (fingers crossed)

With two bonus images: First, he has a tail (which you can just make out in the background). Second, his hat has a slice missing for his horn

[a-e-s-h-m-a]

I think Akuma Kun season 2 should have an episode where Ichiro has to spend a week or something with Strophaia

Maybe they're stuck somewhere.... mostly so they can talk about their lore but also because I adore whenever Strophaia and Ichiro are interacting. There's just a lot in their dynamic that's enjoyable to watch
