With the tagline “Who will survive…?”, the Cyborg 009 vs. Devilman is slated to premiere this October 2015 for a limited time of two weeks. The story will follow the meeting between Cyborg 009 main character, Joe Shimamura and Devilman main character, Akira Fudou. As the title and the tagline suggests, it won’t be a peaceful one. Devilman creator, Go Nagai himself, has acknowledged that both series are “like oil and water” as they simply do not mix at all. However, this is really happening and there is much excitement for this movie as many are excited to see the two classics collide.
