Both can be reflective of how single-minded and greedy corrupted humans can become. That’s part of the reason that “Yochō Sirene-hen” was so great: Jinmen is subjectively the most terrifying Devilman villain and Sirene is the most misguided, not to mention that she’s beautiful and iconic in her appearance! Jinmen is degenerate soul that tortures humans, because it’s the only thing that is able to bring his pitch-black soul joy, as opposed to Sirene, an “Übermenschen” figure that solely feels satisfaction from the desire to defeat the strongest demon, Amon, to claim the throne as the most powerful creature in Hell. To this day, I think that Jinmen is among one of the scariest cartoon villains! When I was reading the “Devilman Tai Yami no Teiō” (“Devilman VS Hades”) manga, even apart from the original story, Jinmen’s appearance had shivers crawling up and down my spine! The idea of a pure evil demon turtle that swims in a sewer with screaming human heads on his shell is a big “no”! Maybe the iteration of the Penguin in “Batman Returns” had too heavy of an influence on my childhood, but animalistic creatures swimming in a sewage system gives me the willies! Though, I thought it was a little bit excessive to have Akira’s blood spray all over Miki’s nude body, when he is torn out of his home by the bird-like Sirene! The only interpretation that I could get from that is… it being a sexual euphemism! Before Akira battles against Sirene, he has to suffer the inhuman torment of Jinmen. The nudity showed both of these women laid bare, and while Sirene’s heart is cold and bitter as she stands in the rain - Miki is surrounded by warm colors and is more chaste with her feelings for Akira Fudō. It’s so overtly sexual, that even though the animation is impressive, it distracts from the whole fight with Gelmar! I would say that it was probably the weakest part of the OVA, even though Miki’s nudity was important in a way, because it kept interspersing scenes of her bathing with images of Sirene, bitter and agonizing over Amon. I didn’t enjoy “Yochō Sirene-hen” as much on my first viewing, because there’s some really risqué shots of Miki Makimura. Now Akira is humanities sole champion of justice against the hidden demon menace that has plagued humanity since the dawn of time. After raising some hell in a club the plan works and Akira is possessed by the powerful demon known as Amon. If a person is of pure of heart then he might be able to control the demon that posses him and thereby acquire power equal to a demon. The only thing strong enough to defeat a demon is another demon and it is trough this logic that Ryō Asuka hatches the plan to have his good-hearted friend Akira Fudō possessed by a demon. In fact they are so strong that humans do not stand a chance against them in a fight. Synopsis: Demons exist and their power is beyond what humans can fathom. ⚠️ This review of Devilman: Yochō Sirene-hen will contain spoilers ⚠️
“Yochō Sirene-hen” gets a little more psychological and deep than the primitive power fantasy of “The Birth” episode!

While the first installment of Devilman was mostly centered around Akira Fudō’s ascension (or “descent”) into his powers, “Yochō Sirene-hen” is more of a look into the psyches of the pure-blooded demons that seek him out, because of the latent spirit that he possesses, that of the insidious, Amon! This volume of the series is more profound because it portrays demons in a very human way, they have similar souls to those who are broken, or have fallen away from God.
