Devilman Crybaby
In "Devilman Crybaby," the main character, Akira Fudo, is betrayed when he unites with a demon at the request of his friend, Ryo Asuka. After transforming into the powerful Devilman, Akira retains his human soul while gaining demonic powers.
Ryo's manipulation and the underlying themes of bigotry, paranoia, and the otherness of demons lead to an intense betrayal that deeply affects Akira. However, this betrayal serves as a catalyst for Akira's transformation into an overpowered being.
As Devilman, he becomes a force to be reckoned with, wielding incredible strength and abilities and making a powerful comeback to confront the demons threatening humanity. The anime delves into complex themes such as puberty, sexuality, love, and identity, adding depth to Akira's character development and his journey from betrayal to empowerment.
