[[AC:Anime & Manga]]
* ''Manga/ApocalypseZero'': Kakugo's Tactical Evil form is a reference to ''Manga/{{Devilman}}'''s title character, not only visually, but also because, like him, Kakugo manages to take over his demon body and use it to strengthen himself.
* ''{{Manga/Berserk}}'': A lot of ''Berserk'' comes from the works of Creator/GoNagai, who Miura has declared himself to be a fan of.
** Just like our series, ''Manga/{{Devilman}}'' entails a duo formed by a ferocious yet somewhat troubled dark-haired fighter and a smart, bishie and white-haired strategist, the latter of which betrays the former at one point and becomes a powerful demon king.
** Many Apostles are clearly inspired by demons from ''Devilman''. Rosine, for instance, resembles the bird demon Sirene, who is another beautiful female humanoid with wings and antennae sticking out of her head. Her name is almost an anagram of Sirene's.
** In Volume 14, episode 97 ("Jill"), Puck is complaining about how the villagers are such psychos for wanting to kill a lovable elf, and his angry face looks like Devilman himself.
* ''Manga/BlackClover'': Zenon is a high-ranking devil user and shares the same name as the demon king from ''Manga/{{Devilman}}''.
* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'': In the first chapter, silhouettes of Franchise/{{Superman}}, Franchise/SpiderMan, ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, along with Franchise/KamenRider, [[Franchise/UltraSeries Ultraman]], and Manga/{{Devilman}} can be seen. Of course, this doesn't translate to the anime adaptation due to copyright restrictions.

** Shinji is a reminiscence of Akira Fudo, another lithe, dark-haired teenager with a sensitive personality who is forced to adopt monstrous powers and to undergo personal development in order to save the world.
** Kaworu is a reference to Ryo Asuka, just like Shinji is meant to be one to Akira. {{White hair|BlackHeart}} in contrast to the protagonist's black hair? Check. [[CreepyChild Unnatural and off-putting behavior?]] Check. [[AmbiguouslyGay Troubling romantic feelings for the main protagonist?]] Check. [[DevilInPlainSight Secretly an angelic demon who attempts to bring about the apocalypse?]] Check.
** One of the [[WhatCouldHaveBeen two unused, proposed]] endings was even closer to ''Devilman'''s ending than the final version.
* ''Manga/PsychicSquad'': In the anime, [[{{Animorphism}} Animorph]] Hatsune can morph into a Bowdlerized version of [[Manga/{{Devilman}} Sirene]].

[[AC:Film]]
* ''Film/PacificRim'': The fight against Otachi, particularly in the novelization, has elements from the fight against Sileene in ''Manga/{{Devilman}}''.

[[AC:Video Games]]
* ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'': The creators have mentioned that Kyo's major character inspirations were [[Manga/{{DevilMan}} Akira Fudo]] and [[Manga/AshitaNoJoe Joe Yabuki]].
* ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'': Aatrox's general appearance both before and after his visual update have brought to mind [[BigRedDevil Amon]] from ''Manga/{{Devilman}}'', bonus points later on due to the {{Retcon}}ned-in DemonicPossession nature of the Darkin.
* ''Franchise/StreetFighter'': '''Alex''' is a combination of Biff Slamkovich from ''VideoGame/SaturdayNightSlamMasters'' and Wrestling/HulkHogan. From Slamkovich, Alex gets his general appearance, including his long blonde hair and headband, and from Hogan, Alex gets his tendency to [[BattleStrip rip his shirt off]] and his special intro against Hugo, where the two stand with their chests pushed against each other, in reference to Hogan's ''[[Wrestling/WrestleMania WrestleMania III]]'' match against Wrestling/AndreTheGiant. He also has the same shoulder / face scars as ''Manga/{{Devilman}}'', which is taken '''''even further''''' with ''V'', as his Halloween costume basically dresses him up as Devilman himself.

[[AC:Western Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': Some of the plush dolls in King's pile are recognizable as [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Sachiel]], [[Manga/{{Devilman}} Psycho Jenny]], [[Manga/SailorMoon Luna]], [[Manga/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind an Ohmu]], the Film/PhantomOfTheParadise, [[Franchise/FinalFantasy a Moogle]], and the main character of ''VideoGame/HollowKnight''.
* ''{{Franchise/Tekken}}'': True Ogre, especially in his alternate costume from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'', strongly resembles Amon from ''Manga/{{Devilman}}''.
