Since human beings had no known predator and had ravaged the planet through pollution, overpopulation and resource depletion, the demons's attacks would seemingly work to balance out the food chain by reducing the number of humans. This only furthers Ryo's skepticism over the possibility of defeating the demons, mostly attributed to the demon's existence as being the natural predators of the human race. He assumes that Akira's nightmare must have been one of Amon's memories and that the giant demon which even Amon found frightening must have been the demon race's leader. Even more surprising is the fact that Akira's personality seemed to have become far more aggressive and assertive, which Ryo attributes to the demon Amon's presence which influences Akira's mind. They are both surprised to discover that Ryo's seemingly mortal wounds had recovered in a matter of a few days. The following morning, Akira visits Ryo Asuka at the hospital, to inform his friend of the ominous dream he had just experienced. And at the center lies a massive demon of immense power that devours Miki and overwhelms Amon with fear. Akira enters the mountain, wherein he discovers several demons, including Jinmen, frozen completely in ice.

He is at the beach with Miki, until he comes across a mountain of ice which seems oddly familiar to him. Sometime after the encounter with Jinmen, Akira is experiencing a frightening nightmare. With the fight over Akira turns back into his human form and laments over the event. Without a doubt in his mind Akira promptly murders Jinmen by bashing a hole in his shell, straight through his mother's face. However, Akira's mother encourages him to murder Jinmen by killing her as well, since she could never be human again and that she was no longer truly alive after having been eaten. At first, Jinmen gets the upper-hand since Akira is reluctant to attack because he would accidentally injure his mother in the process. Enraged by the demon's sadistic actions, Akira turns into Devilman and fights Jinmen. Jinmen had been present at the murder of Akira's parents in the Himalayas, and had devoured his mother, thus causing her face to appear on the back of his shell, alongside those of other previously eaten humans. Akira makes his way to the rendezvous point, an abandoned, rundown and partly flooded subway station, where he confronts the demon turtle Jinmen. One night at the Makimura residence, Akira Fudo receives an ominous phone call from his deceased mother and a demon who challenges him to a fight.
