Amon possessed Akira Fudo because the fusion occurred during an underground Sabbath Party, a chaotic gathering where demons, including Amon, sought to fuse with human hosts.
The Circumstances of Amon's Possession
The powerful demon, Amon, who is believed to have existed on a previously destroyed prehistoric Earth, came into contact with the young human Akira Fudo under very specific conditions:
- Underground Sabbath Party: The fusion between Amon and Akira took place during an intense, underground Sabbath Party. These events are characterized by their wild nature, serving as arenas where demons would typically attempt to merge with humans. This environment provided the opportunity for Amon to fuse with Akira.
The Unexpected Outcome
While the exact motivation for Amon choosing Akira specifically during the party is not detailed, the consequence of this fusion was profound and unforeseen by Amon:
- Akira's Purity Overwhelms Amon's Will: Instead of Amon fully dominating Akira's body and mind, Akira's inherent purity proved to be an overwhelming force. This purity was so potent that it effectively suppressed Amon's demonic will.
- Birth of Devilman: As a direct result of Akira's purity prevailing over Amon's will, Akira did not simply become a demon puppet. Instead, he transformed into the titular Devilman, a unique entity possessing the formidable powers of a demon but retaining the compassionate heart and mind of a human. This new form allowed Akira to utilize demonic abilities, often to protect humanity from other demons.
