I tweeted a poll called '(Manga) Ryo Asuka's nationality' as an excuse to share this silly animation not long ago. This wasn't a serious poll, but I wanted the result to be different than canons. Well I like all of the headcanons ^^ I’ll draw for them all later
I just finished reading Gakuen Taikutsu Otoko, It was so abrupt that I need to know if there is more or does it only end until volume 3? Is there anything else? Please, I need you to tell me if it ends like this or if there is more content
No, I’m not speculating about his True Identity this time - I’m just gonna talk about his name, because it’s a bit confusing!
The name of the blond guy in the original Devilman manga is Asuka Ryou, 飛鳥了. Asuka (飛鳥) is his family name and Ryou (了) is his given name.
The blond guy in Devilman Saga is Ryou Asuka (竜アスカ). His family name is Ryou (竜) and his given name is Asuka (アスカ). Note that the kanji is different - 竜 is usually pronounced ‘ryuu’ and means ‘dragon’, but in this case it’s pronounced ‘ryou’. Asuka is simply written in katakana, giving the pronunciation but not the meaning.
However, Ryou Asuka in Devilman Saga changes his name to 竜大路アスカ, Ryuuooji Asuka (Ryuuooji being the surname and Asuka still being his given name). For this reason I typically tag him as Ryuuooji Asuka, because it’s slightly less confusing than Asuka Ryou vs Ryou Asuka.
