Zannin, Demon General

魔将軍ザンニン

Zannin served as one of the primary antagonists in the Devilman anime series. Acting as Zennon's second-in-command, he commanded a large number of demons. He was the first of the three Demon Generals employed by Zennon and remains the most recognizable among them. Zannin was a gruff, sadistic demon prone to quick anger, harboring a specific hatred for Devilman rather than humanity as a whole. He forbade failure and would readily execute those who fled battle, despite having done so himself on several occasions; this hypocrisy made him deeply unpopular and despised by his fellow demons.
