Two of the crowned kings of ultra violence go head to head, who will win?

 

So while I'm sure there are people who know who Devilman is but I give a brief overview of his back story and an outline of his powers, so here we go.

Akira Fudo was a normal high school student (if some what timid and preferred reading to sports) untill his best friend Ryo Asuka appiers out of the blue and asks for his help. Ryo takes Akira to his home and explanse that while exploring ruins in Peru his father stumbled down a deep unseen hole where he discovered the "Demon Mask". This mask when placed over a persons head showed them images from the pre-historic passed when demons ruled the earth. Investigating his discovery further Ryo's father was possesed by a demon and was forced to kill himself, fearing he would kill his son. However before dying he left behind a message that warned that the demons would return to take back the earth for themselves.

 

Ryo believes that mankind dosent have a chance against the demons but thinks there is a way humans can fight back and he wants Akira's help. Akira is understandable unnerved by all this but agrees to help however their conversation is cut short when Ryo's home is attacked by demons. The pair flee to a secret passageway in the basement, safe but trapped Ryo revealse that the only way to fight the demons is to become a "Devilman". Ryo learned from his fathers notes that demons have the power to fuse with objects, animels  and even each other which allows them to grow stronger and gain new abilities. However demons cant just fuse with humans because our reasoning ability and will power prevents them from takeing us over, however when a human looses their sense of reason a demon can bond with one. Ryo believes that if a human has a strong enough will they can usurp the demons power and become a devilman, a being with the body and powers of a demon but the mind and heart of a human. Ryo warns that should they fail they could end up dead or worse  but despite this Akira bravely agree to help his friend.

 

At the end of the passageway Akira is shocked to find a room full of people partying, Ryo states the best way to loose their reason and attract demons is to re-enact a black sabbath and that he got this group of bikers together because their the kind of people to whom looseing reason comes naturally. The to join the party, drink and danceing when suddenly Ryo starts attacking people with a broken bottle saying the need blood to attact demon. This earns both Akira and Ryo a beating from the bikers during which some members of the gang turn into demons however neither Akira or Ryo transform. Trapped and with nowhere to go th pair are attacked however Akira becomes so afraid that he looses his reason. Akira is then possesed by none otheir than Amon, a great hero amongst the demons but Akira's will proves to be stronger then Amon's and he transforms into Devilman.

 

note - The  powers and abilities I showing here a from the original Devilman manga and those that tie into it, I wont be including stuff from the 70s tv series or Devilman Grimoire because the Devilman in those seires are different incarnation of the character.

 

Powers:

 

After fuseing with Amon Akira is no longer timid and shy, he becomes very aggressive and loves fighting thougth he is still good person at heart. He also gains all of Amon's knowledge and experience.

 

Strength - while shown takeing down large numbers of demon single handed and fighting evenly with powerful foes like Demon Lord Zennon we never really get to see just how strong his punchs are, the best I feat I can find is from Devilman vs Getter Robo where one of Devilman's kicks was strong enough to  effect Getter which stands 38 meters tall and  weighs  220 tons.

 

Speed and Reflexes - once again nothing concrete he can accelerate his movements to superhuman velocities but its never out right stated how fast he is. The best  feat I can find is him punching and kicking 19 holes in a demons body Kenshiro style.

 

Durability - This too is a bit tricky and is made harder by the fact he can regenrate, his skins has been cut by demons who are weaker then he is but has only ever taken series damage from demons who are on an equal footing to himself. He's had is flesh burned by the demon turtle Jinmen yet later in the story shruggs of multiple flame throwers and has even survived orbital reentry without a scratch. The only explination I can think of is that his body adapts after each battle growing stronger and more resistant, another factor may be that early on in the story Akira didn't seem to be full awaire of his bodies abilites as he's and Amon's minds had not yet fully merged.

 

Stamina - He's been show to fight for long periods without showing any sign of fatigue and nore dose he slow down after having an arm ripped off and getting a deep slash wound to is abdomen. He dose have limits, if he looses to much blood or takes to much damage he can loose contusiones or die however as I've stated above he dose seem to get stronger and more resilient as the story progresses.

 

Senses - All Devilman senses are at superhuman levels.

 

Regenration - He can heal minor or moderat wounds and regrow his wings very quickly and can reattach limbs with no lost of function. However regrowing an arm can take much longer. His regenration dose drain his stamina and massive truma (being cut in half) can be fatal if he's in a weakend state.

 

Flight - he has large powerful wings that let him fly at great speed but he's grounded if there damaged.

 

Body Manipulation - he mainly uses this to stretch his horns/antena to attack enemies at range but can manipulate his entire body.

 

Teleportation - can teleport instantaneously, range unknown.

 

Thermal Manipulation - can fire intence blaste of heat from his hands.

 

Flame Breath

 

Energy Manipulation - Can fire beams of energy from horns/antena, mouth or hands. The horns/antena beam normaly acts as a thin cutting beam but can be used like the others. He can also create barriers strong enough to stop bullets, lasers and a full scale nuclear strike with multiple nukes.

 

Electricity Manipulation - can discharge powerful bursts of electricirity around himself  or focus it into long range attacks.

 

Telekinesis - he's can catch bullets in mid-air but mainly uses it to make enemies explode so we dont know how much he can lift with it.

 

Time / Space Manipulation - In the pre-histroric age Amon warped space/time during a moment of extreme stress, its never been done since.

ROFL I love the picture.

It's an interesting question since I love both Guyver and Devilman mangas... though Akira lost in the end...

It's been a while since I read Devilman but you appear to be taking his abilities from all known sources when I thought the manga one was a bit more simple.

Has there been anything speculated on what can damage a Guyver CM? Because depending on that answer, then the fight would default go to Sho, though Miki and Mizuki are more likely to go out for tea and stop the two of them before anything serious happened.

Devilman v Aptom could also be very interesting.

Sorry for my late replay

Yes I've listed abilities from all the sources that tie-into the original Devilman manga especially Amon the Dark Side of Devilman because It gave the character a massive ovehaul.

Well an unactivated guyver units CM was damaged after a grenade explosion sent if flying into a rock, however theres no data on how an activated unit will react to that kind of trauma but a direct hit from one of Elegan's tentacles was enough to deactivate the armour. Also we don't know how much tougher a Gigantics CM is.

I do think that in a fight Sho would need to use Guyver Gigantic, normal guyvers can only lift roughly 5 tones so he'd be a a savire strength disadvantage and while the guyvers weapons are more the capable of hurting Devilman he's capable of countering them, even the mega-smasher. Guyver Gigantic would definitely have the edge in raw power thanks to its pressure cannon and giga-smasher but Devilman has a much wider range of abilities to call apon which should even the playing field.

Aptom is very similer to the demons from Devilman, a humanoid creature that can fuse with others to gain new powers and abilites (although demons can fuse with anything), I think Devilman would find him a worthy opponent to go up against.
