SHF Devilman DC 50th Anniversary edition


 A rather unusual release by Bandai but SHF Devilman got released again as a part of 50th anniversary. I am not sure if this one is any different with the 2017 version but the Yen inflation is very apparent. Scheduled for July 2023 release, SHF Devilman will be sold for 11000 Yen.

 Apparently this version of Devilman have compatible parts for SOC Mazinger DC considering this version is from Devilman vs Mazinger Movie. To be honest this would be an instanty buy if Bandai released Amon Devilman Saga version which looks like a power armor version of Devilman. The series was rather difficult to get into for me at first, but Devilman is definitely an acquired taste which Go Nagai sensei shared his spiritual worldview through this work. After watching Devilman Crybaby, i went further buy reading Devilman Lady and Saga which is a must read if you wish to see the continuity of the series after the depressing end of first Devilman. I hope that the translation for Devilman Saga will be worked on consistent pace because it is supposed to be the penultimate conclusion of this Go Nagai's classic series.
