It suggests that in a world devoid of empathy, the "Devilman" identity is unsustainable, leading to the erasure of the self and the triumph of nihilism. In the OVA, Amon’s rampage is depicted with

As Amon's power grows, the world descends into chaos, and humanity teeters on the edge of annihilation. The lines between good and evil, human and demon, become increasingly blurred. Akira/Devilman must navigate this treacherous landscape, confronting not only external threats but also the darkness within himself.
