Cyborg 009 VS Devilman (サイボーグ009VSデビルマン Saibōgu 009 VS Debiruman?) is a three-part anime OVA that serves as a crossover between the Cyborg 009 and Devilman series. It was first screened on 17 October 2015 and was released on 11 November 2015. The series inspired a manga adaptation and a prequel novel. Netflix acquired the international streaming rights for the series.
Cyborg 009 and Devilman meet and find themselves in a conflict with one another.
Before Go Nagai became the author of Devilman, he worked as an assistant to Shotaro Ishinomori, drawing backgrounds for the Cyborg 009 manga. It was reported in Sankei Sports that he wished to do a collaboration with Ishinomori.
It was announced in March 2015 that a Cyborg 009 anime, directed by Jun Kawagoe, was in production to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the manga's debut. It was later announced that the anime would receive a theatrical release in autumn.
Dynamic Planning separately announced a Devilman anime in April 2014, produced by animation studio Actas. The project was scheduled for a fall 2015 release.
It was revealed in June 2015 that the two separately announced projects would in fact be a single crossover, titled Cyborg 009 VS Devilman.
