Akira struggles with his primal urges.
Akira: Ryo. Do demons know how to love?
Ryo: It's unlikely. Demons are pure creatures in a way. The hunt and their destructive urges are everything.
Akira: I see. To me... it was love.
Akira finds himself struggling with violent urges stemming from his demonic nature. He has kept them in check by killing demons, but they are becoming more powerful, and he is fearful that he may hurt someone he cares for. Ryo suggests Akira take a trip to the red light district to blow off some steam, leading to a confrontation with Silene; an ancient demon and Amon's former lover.
- Buxom Beauty Standard: Needless to say, Akira is certainly enjoying himself with rubbing his head around Silene's... bosom.
- Fan Disservice: Akira has a crazy Erotic Dream where he goes down on Miki doggy style. However, the dream is animated with psychedelic, disorienting colors, and when he wakes up he ends up coating the ceiling with his own semen.
- Groin Attack: Silene threatens to do this to Akira once she makes certain that he's not Amon, stating that she'll eat up his... you know.
- Interplay of Sex and Violence: Akira and Silene's battle is this in spades.
- The Reveal: Miko is revealed to have survived the Sabbath from the previous episode, and just like Akira, she's turned into a Devilman.
- You Need to Get Laid: While not said outright, this is contextually what Ryo suggests to Akira when Akira rants about not being able to rein in his bloodlust.
