A pet dog is beheaded and stuck on a pike. Like the rabbit, it is a still image of a dead animal and is not animated. The dog is not seen before or after this.

At the sabbath scene near the end, a woman transforms into a demon. You see her breasts/nipples splitting in two as they transform into mouths with teeth. No blood but it's disturbing so although it's not technically "genitalia" I'm putting it here

To become devilman, Akira has to be possessed by a demon to try to suppress it and gain its powers. Several background characters were also possessed.

If you want to go into the manga afterwards, be warned about Shin Devilman. It is filler that was inserted into a recent reprint of the original manga. It contains a chapter about Adolf Hitler. I wish I was joking.

Character appears to be dead in the ending but he's fine in the next OVA. His sexuality also isn't mentioned in this OVA- just explaining why someone might've voted Yes

It ends with a character appearing as though they are dead, though they are fine in the next OVA. The series as a whole has a miserable ending though.
