Ichigo: Are you sure this is a good idea? Shouldn't I get to work now?
Akira Fudo: Of course, Ichigo. you don't start your shift until tomorrow. Plus, you need a drink after that shit show with Satan.
Ichigo: Of course you know about that
Akira Fudo: All of Hell knows, trial's been live to all of Hell, and I must admit Inam impressed you managed to wound him.
Ichigo: Ugh...
Akira Fudo: Here we are. Gates of Hell. Best drinks in Pentagram City.
Ichigo: ...the irony isn't lost on me.
Ichigo: though I am surprised that Hell would have establishments like this. aren’t we in a place where sin is punished?
Akira Fudo: Hell isn’t always doom and gloom, Ichigo. It can be an ideal please to enjoy, if you’re from a certain tier of society, like us.
Ichigo: and us meaning…
Akira Fudo: Powerful Sinners, hellborns and Hell Reapers, so enjoy the privilege that Hell grants is.
Akira Fudo: Besides, I know the owner, he can give us a discount and craft the best drink that Hell can offer.
Ichigo: They seem… happy to see us.
Akira Fudo: After knowing who we are, I doubt it, kid.
Akira Fudo: Here, we’ll sit by the bar. Rodin knows me.
Rodin: Akira. And you brought a guest. What'll it be for the new face?
Ichigo: Whatever's strong.
Rodin: Got it, Beelzejuice- year 1150, coming right up.
Akira Fudo: Good choice, kid. that’s a good year.
Ichigo: Do you come here often then?
Akira Fudo: As long as I’ve been in Hell. it’s one of the many pleasures I get to enjoy compare to the things I did back when I was alive.
Ichigo: Was being a Devilman that complicated?
Akira Fudo: Well, it had it’s moments, unlike my previous life as a human.
Akira Fudo: I wasn't always like this, y'know. Back when I was human... I was pathetic. A crybaby. Got my ass kicked every other day.
Ichigo: Strange, never picture you to be a wuss.
Akira Fudo: You can thank Satan for that. My Satan, Ryo.
Akira Fudo: Ryo was in an archeological dig sight in the Amazon with his father, where he learned something that he had to tell me.
Ichigo: The existence of Demons?
Akira Fudo: Correct, demons didn’t just live in hell, they use to live in the mortal realm, when Earth was primal and chaotic.
Ichigo: When you say Primal, you mean like in Prehistoric times?
Akira Fudo: Pre-history, dark ages, times when evil and chaos fester, demons thrive. tales of monsters from various myths and legends, all are demons.
Akira Fudo: You may argue that the dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals were demons too, before God came and cleaned the world and remade it.
Akira Fudo: Anyway, Ryo told me what he learned in his expedition, and wanted to show me proof of it.
Akira Fudo: So Ryo took me to this party... a Black Sabbath. Drugs, booze, sin everywhere. Much like Bee’s crazy parties back in the Gluttony Ring.
Akira Fudo: I was shocked by this, never thought humanity would sink so low to sin like that, and for good reason.
Akira Fudo: Sin always draw demons like flies to shit, it intoxicates them and those fools are unaware of them.
Akira Fudo: The humans never stood a chance. The Demons were Possessing most of them, permenantly changing them. those who weren’t possessed were eaten alive.
Akira Fudo: Amon tried to take me over. But my heart was too strong. Instead of becoming a demon... I became Devilman. And I killed every last one of them.
Ichigo: Hm. Not bad.
Akira Fudo: ...oh. Speaking of fans.
Ichigo: Friends of yours?
Akira Fudo: If I to guess, followers of Amon, they ain’t happy with me for what Indid to their master.
Akira Fudo: Excuse for a sec, Ichigo
Devilman: Now who wants a piece of me?
Rodin: Refill's on the house.
Ichigo: Thanks.
Ichigo: So what was that about? Why are they after you?
Akira Fudo: Like I said. Followers of Amon. They worship him.
Ichigo: So Amon was somebody important?
Akira Fudo: Amon was part of the Ars Goetia. One of the 72 demon lords that served directly under the Kings of Hell.
Akira Fudo: I didn't just kill a demon... I killed royalty.
