Description
Moyuru Koda is a supporting character in the anime DEVILMAN crybaby. He is a track-and-field athlete from Kawa High School, known across Japan as the Super Highschooler after setting five youth records. His performance and personality reportedly changed after he was possessed by a demon at a Black Sabbath party, an event where his boyfriend, Junichi, died. Following accusations of illegal doping and the death of a teammate, Koda became withdrawn and kept to himself. He initially comes across as easygoing and conflict-avoidant, striving for peace and harmony in his interactions. This tendency to avoid confrontation sometimes makes him appear passive or apathetic, but he cares deeply about those close to him. When Ryo Asuka publicly reveals on television that Koda is a demon, Akira Fudo recruits him. Koda merges with a demon and becomes a Devilman, gaining enhanced physical abilities that complement his natural athleticism, particularly speed. His role in the story is that of a reluctant but loyal ally who eventually commits to the fight against the demonic threat. His key relationships include his deceased boyfriend Junichi, his friend Miki Kuroda (Miko), and his growing bond with Akira. Over the course of the series, Koda undergoes significant development, moving from a private, troubled individual into a determined fighter willing to risk himself for others. His loyalty and desire to protect his friends become central to his actions, and he ultimately sacrifices himself in the final confrontation.
