And finally, voicing the role of Ryou Asuka, Akira Fudou’s best friend responsible for turning him into Devilman, will be Satoshi Hino (Bakuman’s Akito Takagi and Haikyuu!!’s Daichi Sawamura).

The three will make up the main characters for the Devilman side of the movie’s titular conflict. No cast announcements for the Cyborg 009 side have been officially announced thus far.

With the tagline “Who will survive…?”, the anime movie 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, and 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
