Akira Fudo learns from his best friend Ryo Asuka that demons will revive and reclaim the world from humans. With humans hopeless against this threat, Ryo suggests combining with a demon. With this, Akira becomes Devilman, a being with the power of demon but with a human heart.
This tv show contains 73 potentially triggering events.
No, but a child does secretly access someone else's computer account (on a shared computer in the main living space) and watches the explicit videos saved in the browser history on two occasions. This may be triggering for some.
Near the beginning of episode 10, a large snake is shown fusing with a demon. In the same episode a character rides on a demon with several snake-like heads.
There is an abrupt scene of a man presumably threatening an underaged character with a gun to have sex with him, which is displayed graphically, and she kills him subsequently. This scene is sudden and seemingly made for shock value, which will likely be upsetting to many people.
Very specifically, in episode 9 there is an angry mob that gathers around Miki's house waving weapons. Many carry knives, guns, and blunt objects. One stabs a cat named Tako. (See Does a cat die? for more details). Several young people are killed with knives on-screen.
Not only is there breaking of bones, but there is also complete loss of limbs.
**SPOILER**
In the last episode, in the very end of the anime, we see what appears to be Akira's torso and head by the side of Ryo, his companion and fellow "main" character. His legs and arms have been decapitated and he is very much dead.
In the very first episode when they’re at the club the one girl is starting to get killed by a devil from the inside or something and right before it happens it looks like she’s peeing but I’m assuming it’s diarrhea. It is onscreen, graphic, and there is audio.
I’ll update if there’s more that I watch.

Ryo is seen in a very modern and fancy hospital after the Black Sabbath, wherein it's explicitly stated to be a hospital, even if it looks nothing like one aside from some base elements.
There are a few minor characters, one man running around naked gets hit by several cars, another that could be interpreted as mentally ill is shouting bible quotes and then pulls out a gun and falls from a higher place. Several people fall from high buildings.
Yes, episode 8 almost exactly 5 minutes in. it shows the people on top of a building and then cuts to miki’s dad so look away after it shows her dad. very brief maybe 10 seconds but the whole last few episodes i’m pretty sure there’s a good bit of this stuff
If i’m not wrong, one minor character says he’ll kill himself after being possessed by a demon, and I think Akira says he’ll do the same if he loses control, but I could be wrong
Multiple people who are complete strangers die in the first few episodes, though none are explicitly stated or shown to be pregnant in any way. Multiple women die, though, so please keep that in mind when viewing this anime.
Several characters who are LGBT (some canonically and some heavily implied to be canonical) die, but without spoiling the show, it is not problematic in the context in the slightest bit (no, they are not portrayed as villainous either). However, it may still be upsetting to some people.
Very specifically, there is a scene in episode 7 where Miki is harassed by some cops on the street who call her foreigner for her green eyes- note that Miki is a half- American Japanese citizen. A flashback follows where very young children tease and bully Miki for the color of her eyes.
( WARNING may contain slight spoilers ) a character is walking around the city and there is shown to be a plane out of control/heading to the ground and followed by an explosion. The plane itself is not shown hitting the ground but the explosion is there.
