![]() It’s been a while since I’ve seen anything related to Cyborg 009 (my last experience was the 2001 remake when it was on Cartoon Network) or Devilman, but the first episode does give a glimpse into what both franchises are about. ![]() Cyborg 009 and Devilman do fight each other initially out of a big misunderstanding, but they have to work together to defend humanity against this new coalition where demonic energy and science are combined to raze Japan. After the 00 team and Devilman fight off some enemies in their respective situations, there’s a new threat with demons and some new cyborgs working together as they wreak havoc on the population. ![]() Devilman is a crossover that deals with a threat that affects characters of both franchises. After searching for random newer anime series, I decided to check out this crossover between some franchises from renowned anime/manga creators Shotaro Ishinomori and Go Nagai.Ĭyborg 009 Vs. Capcom or to a lesser extent King of Fighters even though only one of those game series has the characters part of the same universe. I’m not going to lie: I’ve been a fan of games such as Marvel Vs.

I never expected to do a review like this anytime soon, but it involves something I don’t go out of my way to encounter. It’s none other than Johnny Yong Bosch AKA Adam, the 2nd Black Ranger. Speaking of Power Rangers…one of them does the English dub voice of Cyborg 009 himself. ![]() Also, did you know he’s the creator of Super Sentai which is the same series that was adapted worldwide as Power Rangers? Shotaro Ishinomori created the first android superhero with 8 Man which is older than Cyborg 009 and Kikaider. He used to draw backgrounds for Ishinomori’s Cyborg 009 manga and wanted to collaborate on a story together, but his mentor/supervisor died. Go Nagai is considered to be the inventor of the Super Robot genre. He directed the 2001 Cyborg 009 remake as far as Ishinomori works are concerned while he directed 3 different Getter Robo series in the 90s and 00s, Kotetsushin Jeeg, and Mazinkaiser SKL when it comes to Nagai’s creations.
