Why I Would Never Live in the World of Devilman Crybaby

(And Why You Shouldn’t Either)

If you’re an anime fan who enjoys dark, intense stories, then Devilman Crybaby probably blew your mind. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions, action, and despair. But as much as I love the story, one thing is certain: I would never, ever want to live in that world. Here’s why the Devilman Crybaby universe is one of the worst possible places to exist.

1. Humanity Is Its Own Worst Enemy

In Devilman Crybaby, the real horror isn’t just the demons—it’s humanity itself. When people discover the existence of demons, society descends into chaos. Fear, paranoia, and mob mentality consume the population. The second someone suspects you of being a demon, it’s over. Your neighbors, friends, and even family might turn on you, all in the name of self-preservation. The world spirals into a dystopia where trust is nonexistent, and violence is everywhere.

2. Demons Are Among Us

Demons in this world aren’t just some far-off threat—they live among us. They can possess humans, taking over their bodies and using them to wreak havoc. Worse, there’s no clear way to tell who’s human and who’s a demon until it’s too late. Imagine walking down the street, wondering if the person next to you could transform into a monstrous being and tear you apart. The constant fear and tension would make life unbearable. Even worse, you might not even realize you’ve been possessed until the transformation begins.

3. No One Is Safe

In Devilman Crybaby, literally no one is safe. Whether you’re a child, an adult, or a seemingly invincible protagonist, this world doesn’t pull punches. Loved ones are slaughtered in the most gruesome ways, often right in front of your eyes. There’s no “plot armor” here. The story makes it clear that survival is based on sheer luck, and even the strongest characters can meet tragic ends. If you think you’d somehow escape the carnage, think again—this world spares no one.

4. The Psychological Toll of Living in Fear

Even if you manage to avoid being killed or possessed, the psychological toll of living in constant fear would break anyone. Watching people you care about turn into monsters—or be killed by them—would leave you paranoid and traumatized. And let’s not forget the breakdown of society. With no one to trust and no safe place to hide, the mental strain would push anyone to their limits. Survival isn’t just a physical challenge—it’s an emotional and psychological battle as well.

5. The Apocalypse Is Inevitable

The Devilman Crybaby world doesn’t just flirt with destruction—it fully embraces it. The arrival of demons leads to nothing less than the complete annihilation of humanity. No matter how hard you fight or how smart you are, the end is already written. The world devolves into chaos, leaving only despair and ruin in its wake. Even if you manage to survive the initial wave of destruction, the apocalypse ensures that there’s no future to look forward to.

6. Betrayal Is a Given

One of the most devastating aspects of Devilman Crybaby is the theme of betrayal. People turn on each other at the drop of a hat, whether out of fear, desperation, or manipulation by demons. Even the closest friendships and strongest bonds aren’t safe. When survival is on the line, anyone can become an enemy. This world makes it painfully clear that trust is a liability, and betrayal is almost guaranteed.

7. The Tragic Loss of Innocence

The Devilman Crybaby world doesn’t just destroy lives—it destroys innocence. Characters who start out full of hope, love, and dreams are quickly crushed by the harsh realities of their world. Children are slaughtered, families are torn apart, and even love becomes a source of pain. This isn’t a world where you can hold onto hope or happiness for long. The sheer bleakness would be too much for anyone to bear.

8. There’s No Happy Ending

If you’re thinking, “Well, maybe I’d be the one to change things,” let me stop you right there. The Devilman Crybaby world offers no happy endings. It’s a place where even the strongest efforts to fight for good end in tragedy. The story leaves no room for hope or redemption. By the end, humanity is gone, and the world lies in ruin. Even if you somehow survived the chaos, what kind of life would you have left?

Why I’m Staying Far Away

The world of Devilman Crybaby is a nightmare in every sense of the word. Between the unrelenting violence, the breakdown of society, and the inevitability of apocalypse, there’s no reason anyone would want to live there. It’s a place where trust is dangerous, hope is fleeting, and survival is a temporary state. As much as I admire the storytelling and themes of Devilman Crybaby, I’ll happily enjoy it from the safety of my couch. Living there? No thanks. In short, if you value your sanity, safety, and humanity itself, steer clear of the Devilman Crybaby universe. It’s one world where even the strongest crybaby wouldn’t stand a chance.
