* SuperSexOrgans: She can emit a powerful acid from orifices in her breasts and groin, the latter of which is actually the demon Tollg's face.

* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the manga Kozo and Akiko were arrested by the Government's Anti-Demon Special Corps and taken to their headquarters were they were tortured to death with Akira finding Akiko's body ripped in two, and Kozo Dying just as soon as Akira found him. Here Akiko is eaten by her sun after he succumbs to Horror hunger, and Noel gets shot to death alongside their son by an angry mob.

* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler: Her final moments are spent not begging for her own life, but simply trying to appeal to her murderers' humanity and convince them not to hurt Miki. It sadly doesn't work...]]
* FanDisservice:[[spoiler:After becoming a Devilman she's shown to be rather curvaceous, unfortunately this is shown off while she's being raped.]]

* {{Gainaxing}}: When she runs on the track field, her noticeable assets bounce. It gets exaggerated when she runs as a Devilman, though this is justified since she's running at an even greater speed.

* FromTheMouthsOfBabes: Taro tends to say rather inappropriate things without seeming to fully understand what they mean, like claiming that drugs make you "power up" or saying that Miki is only popular because people want to see her [[{{Gainaxing}} "bounce"]].

* AdaptationNameChange: More or less. Miki's younger brother was named Tar'''e''' in the manga, but in ''Crybaby'' it's Tar'''o'''.

Reijiro and Kaori are Akira's parents. They often work overseas, and as such, leave Akira in the care of the Makimura family while sending running shoes to Akira on a regular basis.

* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler:Reijiro becomes possessed by Jinmen and devours several innocents, including Kaori. All of the people he consumes become "death masks" containing the tormented souls of his victims.]]
* FightingFromTheInside: [[spoiler: Even after Jinmen possesses him, Reijiro isn't fully consumed by the demon, as he's aware of what he's doing even when he no longer has any control over his body. He was even able to nearly overcome the demon upon Akira's urging until Jinmen fully silenced him.]]
* OnlySaneMan: [[spoiler: Among all the victims stuck in Jinmen's shell, Kaori is the only one who is fully aware that they are dead souls trapped in a demon.]]
* ParentsAsPeople: Akira's parents are good and loving towards him, but their professions require them to work abroad, leaving him in Japan. Of course, they have the sense to leave him in the care of another loving family and contact him whenever they have the time.
* ParentsInDistress: In the worst way possible. [[spoiler: Reijiro gets possessed by Jinmen while he was abroad, and followed Kaori on her flight back to Japan before killing her and absorbing her into Jinmen's shell, then Jinmen completely overtakes his mind. At this point, they're beyond the point of being saved, and Akira is forced to kill both of them.]]
* {{Troll}}: Downplayed; one of Akira's fondest memories of Reijiro is when he teased his son about the way bonito flakes move, claiming that it's because they're alive.

Noel is a minister from a western country (possibly Ireland, going by the Celtic artwork in his house), living with his wife Akiko and his children Miki and Taro. They own a vegetarian restaurant. They are close friends with the Fudo family and took Akira in while his parents worked overseas.

* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: [[spoiler: Akiko runs away with Taro after realizing he became a Devilman, leaving a note apologizing to her husband, Akira, and Miki for what she's doing. Sadly, she has no way to help Taro after they go to the nearest church and ends up being eaten by him.]]
* GoodParents: Both Noel and Akiko treat their children with kindness and understanding, and extend the same kindness to Akira even though he's simply their charge.
* MamaBear: [[spoiler: When Akiko finds out that Taro is possessed by a demon, her response is to take him to a shelter and doesn't tell her husband and daughter why she's leaving them, both out of fear how they'll react and to keep them safe as well.]]
* MotherlySidePlait: Akiko doesn't tie her hair in a side ponytail but simply parts the ends of her hair to one side, giving off this impression. [[spoiler: No points for guessing whether she lives till the end of the story or not.]]
* PapaWolf: When the world devolves into chaos, Noel is still willing to throw himself into the fray to find his family; managing to survive on his own and steal a motorcycle.
* ParentsAsPeople: As stated above, both of them treat their children well without reaching the point of spoiling them. However, it doesn't mean that they're always mindful ''enough'' when it comes to their children's activities. This is shown in how they are oblivious to the fact that their younger son watches a lot of porn and morbid stuff by logging in with Akira's internet account, [[spoiler:which is implied to be the factor that allows him to be possessed by a demon and ultimately causes the family's demise.]]
* RaceLift: In this version of the story, Miki's father is Caucasian instead of Japanese, making her and Taro mixed-race by extension.
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: Like Miki, they're shown to be pretty nice and decent people, [[spoiler:which doesn't spare them from suffering grisly deaths later on]].
* WeCouldHaveAvoidedAllThis: It's made explicitly clear that while her actions were understandable, had Akiko simply confided in the family about [[spoiler: what happened to Taro]] rather than try to take care of things on her own, a lot of misery would have been avoided.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Noel is a pacifist who doesn't wish for violence due to his devotion after demons are made public. Seeing the madness infesting the streets as he looks for his wife and son while grabbing a gun during the mayhem, Noel [[spoiler:is confronted with his Devilman son eating his wife. He has a breakdown as he sees what Taro has become. Though he points the gun at Taro and even declares IHaveNoSon, Noel can't bring himself to kill him and dies trying to talk down the soldiers seeking to kill Taro, with Taro being gunned down as well]].

Miki's younger brother. Despite his age, he has a very wild and morbid curiosity as shown in his tendency to look up things that are either gruesome or erotic.

* DistaffCounterpart: To Akira/Devilman due to some similarities they share, like their change in character and appearance upon becoming Devilmen, and [[spoiler:their love for Miki]]. Though compared to the anime's [[AdaptationalNiceGuy Akira]], her personality upon becoming a Devilman is [[TruerToTheTest closer to the original manga's brash depiction of Akira]].

* AntiHeroine: Likely more so then Akira; she is a callous JerkJock Devilman who did some few questionable actions without ever stepping over the line, but eventually sides with Akira and Miki to help them out.

* CompositeCharacter: Her name and a bit of her personality come from the aforementioned Miko Kuroda from ''Susanoo''; her sexuality and athleticism are similar to Aoi Kurosaki from ''Manga/DevilmanLady''; her personal arc occupies the place and takes a bit of Mikiko Kawamoto from the ''Devilman'' manga; and her Devilman form takes the place of the spider demon Rasber, who appears only in the manga; lastly her appearance after becoming a Devilman resembles a number of female characters from Go Nagai's other works who fall under the same [[AmazonianBeauty Muscular]], [[{{Tomboy}} Tough Girl]] archetype, one good example is Chiiko-Sensei from Manga/DororonEnmakun.
