* Generally, Akira and Ryo have plenty of subtext to their relationship. At first you can write it off as a typical bromance, with them being blood brothers/best friends who rely on each other; replete with macho speeches and constant brushes with death for each other's sake. However, some of their moments can feel a little too obsessive/flirty to be entirely platonic, especially on Ryo's part. If you ever watch the OVAs, then you'll be amazed how much of Ryo and Akira's stares come off as "having sex with their eyes".

* Ryo shows a great deal of jealousy towards Miki, Akira's canonical love interest, far in advance of what a "best friend" should care about. There's even a bonus chapter in the manga dedicated to Ryo staying behind on the beach as he stares at Miki and Akira swimming off shore with obvious jealousy.

There's a Crybaby Ho Yay page, but I didn't want to add examples pertaining to the various spin offs in the Devilman franchise. The Crybaby page should probably stay strictly relevant to what's contained in there, unless the community decides otherwise.

Akira and Ryo are arguably ''the'' original Anime duo character characterized by their intense emotional bond and adventurous hijinks, with plenty of homoerotic subtext mixed in for good measure. As a fandom with nearly 50 years behind it, Devilman came before and likely inspired the likes of [[Manga/{{Berserk}} Guts and Griffith]], [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji and Kaworu]] and [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka and Homura]].
