History Manga / DevilmanLady

* RapeIsOKWhenItIsFemaleonMale: [[spoiler: Jun is feeling tense, she can't relieve the billed up stress at a gym, is snappy at work, and Asuka is away so she has no one to talk to. Jun is walking at night, looking for trouble. She finds it in the form of a Devil Beast who has been stalking her. Getting what she was looking for, she fights him and knocks him on his back. ]]

** OurVampiresAreDifferent: In Japan, an entire village is made of Devil Beasts who all descended from the same couple. Though these D.B. resemble insects with their compound eyes and armored bodies. The entire village is wiped out (women and children included) when an investigative trip by Jun and Asuka reveals the villagers want to expand out and give into their needs more.
** [[spoiler: According to Vlava, Devil Beasts eventually turn into demons. This cycle continues on and on with the cycle starting up again.]]

** [[spoiler: Irony: Aoi some how has a penis due to being a Devil Beast. Seems like BodyHorror, but she doesn't seem to mind.]]

* HeWhoFightsMonsters:

** All the frigging time in the manga.

** Jinmen is a bastard who likes to taunt opponents if they have loved ones trapped in his shell. He has no problems using them as a shield (obviously) or manipulating his victims into saying hateful words at his foes/their loved ones. The crocodilian is a girl who needs to constantly eat fresh meat, be it human or animal. She decides to eat her mother (who was sheltering her, making excuses for her change, and new eating habits) because she can't wait between meals. She shows no remorse to her father when he comes home.

* FantasticDrug: Two unrelated arcs in the manga deal with this trope. One is about a man producing a drug to trigger Devil Beast transformations. It is for people who can't consciously transform yet. He sells it to rival gangs and watches the results from the sidelines. Turns out not everyone who ingests the pills will transform. The arc deals with jewel thieves who trigger a transformation in a school girl so she can break into buildings and steal for them. She gets her drug via injection.

* Split Personality: Some Devil Beasts and Devil Men seem to act like this, acting almost like a different person in human or D.B. form. [[spoiler: Aoi Kurosaki plays this trope straight in the manga.]]

* Chickification: In the manga, Jun is a former Olympic athlete and regularly lifts weights and swims. While she is at first horrified at the reveal of Devil Beasts and that she is a Devil Man, she quickly becomes accustomed to her role as a monster killer. She reacts like a regular person would in her situation. In the anime, Jun is a shy, timid model who has a hard time adjusting to being a Devil Man and doesn't want anything to do with hunting the Devil Beasts. She is a push-over compared to her manga counterpart and only displays a strong will and ferocity as Devilman Lady.

It is for people who can't consciously transform yet. He sells it to rival gangs and watches the results from the sidelines. Turns out not everyone who ingests the pills will transform. Another story deals with jewel thieves who trigger a transformation in a school girl so she can break into buildings and steal for them. She gets her drug via injection.

* EnemyWithout: [[spoiler: Aoi Kurosaki separates into a human and a shark Devil Beast. Though Aoi is rendered unconscious and is taken away after Jun kills the shark, so the 'two Aois' never battle.]]

* SuperpoweredEvilSide

** Also in the manga, Jun will undress herself or have clothes handy somewhere.

** [[spoiler: Jun wears a cape in the manga during a mission. She is naked underneath it, but it doesn't get turn apart when she transforms. She opens it when she transforms and covers herself again once she changes back to a human.]]

* InSovietRussiaTropeMocksYou: [[spoiler: One of the Devil Beasts is a school girl who turns into an octopus monster. She is the one who has the naughty tentacles!]]

* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler: In one manga arc, a Hunter begins hunting Devil Beasts after killing one, thinking she is a wild animal. He soon gains the ability to detect Devil Beasts and is revealed to be one as well. He begins hunting Devil Beasts and Devil Men, attracting the attention of the Human Alliance. They set a trap for him, but he sees through it and battles Jun after eliminating everyone else. As they battle, he transforms into his D.B. form, but doesn't understand why he is suddenly stronger or faster in the fight. When H.A. soldiers arrive and start shooting at him, he is surprised at how he is also bulletproof. At most, he thinks he's psychic or been 'chosen' to hunt the D.B. After getting Jun on the ropes, they fight outside a shop and break its window. His dog, who has been barking at him since his transformation, finally gets him to look at his reflection in the broken glass. Horrified, he places his gun in his mouth and commits suicide at the revelation that he is also a Devil Beast.]]

* InSovietRussiaTropeMocksYou: [[spoiler: One of the Devil Beasts is a school girl who turns into an octopus monster. She is one who has the naughty tentacles!]]

* CreepyChild: Satoru

* HotAmazon: Both Jason and Asuka are attracted to Jun because of her badass demon side. Jun is also a former athlete and regularly works out in the manga. In fact, she is probably the opposite of her character in the anime.

* SizeShifter: [[spoiler:For the manga, in Hell, if you possess a strong will power, you can use it for a variety of abilities, like force fields or growing in size. Later in the manga, witnessing/travelling to Hell is a requirement to gain the size shifting power on Earth, at least according to the Evil Cult.]] In the anime, most Devil Beasts will grow in size as a last resort or as a super form.

He soon gains the ability to detect Devil Beasts and is revealed to be one as well. He begins hunting Devil Beasts and Devil Men, attracting the attention of the Human Alliance.

* ClothingDamage: Jun's clothes do ''not'' agree with her transformations into Lady - pretty much every change leaves her in the nude and her clothing in shreds. [[Though the manga tries to avert this concept later by having the organisation Jun works for give their Devilmen soldiers special suits that stretch or grow with the transformation, though the suit only appears in two story arcs. And then this trope is played straight in the second arc by having Jun grow larger than the suit can handle.]]

* OurCentaursAreDifferent: [[spoiler:The two leaders of the Devil Beast Cult both transform into giant centaurs. The man has the horse lower body, but has a demonic upper body. The woman's lower body is a giant panther and her torso sits behind the panther's head. In Hell, a more traditional looking centaur appears in one of the lower layers.]]

* ReligionofEvil: [[spoiler: The Cult/Religion of Vlava for the Republic of Grumech and the Devil Beast Cult Religion of Japan.]]

* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler: In one arc, a Hunter begins hunting Devil Beasts after killing one, thinking she is a wild animal. He soon gains the ability to detect Devil Beasts and is revealed to be one as well. He begins hunting Devil Beasts and Devil Men, attracting the attention of the Human Alliance.

When H.A. soldiers arrive and start shooting at him, he is surprised at how he is suddenly bulletproof. At most, he thinks he's psychic or been 'selected' to hunt the D.B. After getting Jun on the ropes, they fight outside a shop and break a window. His dog, who has been barking at him since his transformation, finally gets him to look at his reflection in the broken class. Horrified, he places his special gun in his mouth and commits suicide at the revelation that he is also a Devil Beast.]]

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: When Vlava's followers fall to Hell with him, they are either eaten by Cerberus immediately or have some other cruel fate awaiting them. All the prominent members, who either lured the sacrifices or prepared them for Vlava, are almost immediately killed again when they are restored to human form.]]

* RedHerring: One of the teachers at Jun's school is always hitting on her or making creepy faces at her or other woman. A few times it has been hinted at him being a Devil Beast. So far it was either a different teacher or a Devil Beast shape-shifter using him as a disguise to get into the school.

* CannibalismSuperpower: Jinmen devours people whole and gains power from how many are in his body. When they are freed, he loses his power and shrinks to the size of a regular snapping turtle.

* Demonic Possession: [[spoiler: The demon Vlava possesses the ambassador and other members of his cult to create a portal to Hell. Happens to the surviving human sacrifices once the portal to Hell reopens in Japan. They are most likely the first of many. This trope is a throw back to the original series.]]

* AnimeAnatomy: Kind of. Women have nipples in the manga, but all privates are either covered in hair or shadowed. The anime plays this trope straight though.

* SizeShifter: In Hell, if you possess a strong will power, you can use it for a variety of abilities, like force fields or growing in size. Apparently later in the manga, witnessing/travelling to Hell is a requirement to gain the size shifting power on Earth, at least according to the Evil Cult.

* ClothingDamage: Jun's clothes do ''not'' agree with her transformations into Lady - pretty much every change leaves her in the nude and her clothing in shreds.

* HotAmazon: Both Jason and Asuka are attracted to Jun because of her badass demon side.
