OVA
series, composed of three four-episode series. It is based on the erotic video games (eroge
) Makai Tenshi Djibril, Makai Tenshi Djibril —episode 2— and Makai Tenshi Djibril 3, which were created by Front Wing
. The game series also won a Bishojyo Game Award as of September 5, 2008 as part of the best game series ever. The first two games were rereleased in 2008 due to a problem with DirectX 10 and the video playback software, causing Frontwing to standardize all three games released that year with the same engine, which removed compatibility with Windows 98 and Me. Makai Tenshi Djibril 4, the beginning of a new saga based at a school seemingly founded by Luvriel for Devil Angels, was released on April 23, 2010, and used, for the first time, graphics displayed in native 576i
HD.
For the 2011 game, instead of Jiburiru The Devil Angel 5, the game is called , and features all six of the main characters from DJibril Episode 1 to 4 as if they are from the Sengoku period of Japan.
This series is created by Kuuchuu Yousai and produced by Noboru Yamaguchi
.
Luvriel was injured in the battle against the devil and Naoto and Rika took her to (one of the character's) home. Luvriel then told them that she knew that the demons were "up to something" and she was sent to their "realm" to investigate. She said that she was following the demon boy's "scent" when she saw him attacking them and came to the rescue. She also informs them that the devil would return for another attack.
Because Luvriel had lost her power during the fight, she said she needed someone else to become a "holy battle angel" to fight as a replacement. Naoto wanted to do it but Luvriel said that he could not do the job because all angels are girls.
So Rika volunteered but was shocked and embarrassed (as was Naoto) to learn that in order for her to become a holy battle angel she had to not only have Luvriel's halo but she also had to get "Amore" power by "making love" with someone she cared for.
Naoto was the only one do do that job.
The demon boy had also lost his power in the fight. He then met up with Meimi Otonashi (Otonashi Meimi, a classmate of Naoto's at her home), who happened to see Naoto ask Rika to go out with him. This made Meimi jealous of Rika, and she went home crying. Taking advantage of her jealousy, Asmodeus turned Meimi into a demon, Misty May (who, much to Asmo's dismay, turned out to be a more evil and hard to control subordinate), to help him attack Rika again.
Meanwhile, Luvriel turned Rika into "St. Djibril" (Jiburiru) to help her fight against the forces of evil.
After the first series ends, the story continues with "Jiburiru, the Second Coming" ("Book"s 1-4). New characters including Hikari Jinno (Jinno Hikari), Naoto's little sister (later on she is his called his sister-in-law and still later she becomes his step sister) and Miss Rococo, Asmo's sister appear in the new series. Within the series, Rika gets kidnapped by Misty Mei by using her tentacle monster ("the eternal worm") to attack Rika. After the kidnapping, Naoto becomes upset that Rika was taken away. Similar to Rika's fate in the first series, Luvriel gets Hikari to become a Jiburiru. However, for this to occur, Naoto must have sex with his sister. Initially, Naoto is shocked and refuses to commit such an incestuous-like act, but soon changes his mind when Hikari offers herself in order to save Rika. (Hikari has returned from overseas to confess her love for Naoto anyway.) As they have sex, Hikari transforms into DJibril (Jiburiru) Aries and fights the forces of evil... including Dark DJibril, who Rococo converted Rika Manabe into with sex with her Eternal Worm monster and herself- (including by using her clitoris that transforms into a penis! [In a later "book" episode she gives Jiburiru one of her own!])
Eventually Jiburiru Aries defeats Misty Mei, Rococo and Dark DJibril turns back into Rika.
In the next movie volumes (which are only available in Japanese and with Japanese mosaic style censorship), this peace is short-lived, with a strange new photography student taking pornographic pictures of some of the students, something connected to the return of Misty Mei. When a more powerful monster than they've ever faced before attacks them, Hikari Jinno is abducted, and a new angel in the form of a blue-haired virtual girl- in fact a computer program named Nagi (or N.A.G.I.-New Angelic Gaia Interface) is activated and sent (by falling into Naoto's bath- while he's in it)- to help. She is apparently only activated when the risk is too high for a normal human to be sent into the field. Once the major danger has passed, she is recruited to help with the main mission, after some kind of strange spell is being cast on Rika and Hikari...
Can the N.A.G.I. rescue Hikari... or is it too late already?
of the series. Ever since he met Rika in childhood, he became great friends with her. Until that indecent that Rika had, Naoto wants to spend time some more with Rika and wanted to have a nice relationship with Rika, until Asmo appeared to kidnap her. When Luvriel was defeated, Naoto and Rika help her to take her back into his room. As they realize that Luvriel was really an Angel, she told stories the facts behind the incident. Rika wanted to be an Angel just like Luvriel, but it turns out that she has to have sex to store up Amore power (and thus lose her virginity) to become an angel, so she decided to lose her virginity to Naoto. Later in the second series, he becomes less perverted than before. Ever since Rika was kidnapped, he felt emotional feelings in him and has been saddened when Rika was kidnapped. However, he loves Rika so much that he missed her. In this series we are introduced to his little step-sister, Hikari. She usually gets jealous but is sweet to her brother since they had genetic sexual attraction
to each other, which causes Hikari to worry. However, Naoto lets her sister help save Rika for him by becoming a Devil Angel by having sex with him and fights for him for his love.
: A quiet and sweet student who has been a friend of Naoto since childhood. At her childhood, Naoto doesn't seem to be getting along with Rika pretty well back then, but when he got close to her, they were really close friends. As Naoto accepts to be her boyfriend, she cried of joy. Suddenly, Asmo appeared above a tree and he declared he was a private in Hell's army and started to attack and kidnap Rika with tentacles. Naoto tried his best to save Rika, but he couldn't defend against the demon's power. But when Luvriel arrived, she was wounded during the battle. When the battle is over, Naoto and Rika took her back to Naoto's apartment. Rika was worried about Luvriel and wants to take her to the hospital. As Luvriel woke up, she wanted to find the demon boy whom is attacking her. When she told stories about how angels and devils fought. Rika accepts to be a part of the army. Unfortunately, for Naoto, angels are supposed to be girls, but when Luvriel told Rika that she has to have sex to acquire Amore power, she felt shocked and worried. She was later kidnapped at the beginning of the second anime (First in DJibril 1) and transforms into a darker form of herself.
: Introduced in the second game, Hikari is visiting her brother, and witnesses the defeat of the original Jibril. Partially due to being exposed to the secret of Djibril, and partially since she was the only person available to replace Rika, she ends up recruited as the second Djibril, with the suffix of Aries, in order to rescue Rika from the clutches of Misty Mei and Rococo. Later in the third game, Similar to kidnapping of Rika, she was captured by demons and becomes her darker self, and becomes a major role of the game.
:The newest of the Devil Angels known as Djibril, Nagi is in fact a computer program called N.A.G.I., or the New Angelic Gaia Interface. Part of a new effort in Heaven to use less humans and angels in their battles, due to, effectively, demand outstripping supply, she is recruited to help with the main mission after some kind of strange spell is being cast on Rika, and Hikari was captured...
: The only character not retired after Makai Tenshi Djibril 3, Luvriel is a low rank angel who appears as Asmo is attacking Rika, attempting to stop him, but failing, and deciding instead to move in with Naoto and help him support Rika, and later Hikari and Nagi, although she seems to spend more time spying on them while they're having sex. Also, despite Loveriel's childish appearance, and occasionally actions, she is in fact 10,009 years old
The form of a Devil Angel differs with the person, with each having both an angelic aspect and a demonic aspect, depending on how they gain the power to transform. These usually are signified by a change in hair color, with angelic Djibrils, all having hair that is some shade of light blue, and transformation into a leotard-style outfit. The only exclusion to this is the New Angelic Gaia Interface, which only has the change being that Nagi is changed into a leotard. In Makai Tenshi Djibril 4, however, this is changed completely to a form of jumpsuit, with hair colors not changing.
In the games, the dark aspect is indicated by the colors of their uniforms changing to red and black, as well as changing their eye color, as well as other additions dependent on the level of corruption. Later games used the specific title Djibril for them so they wouldn't be confused with the historical angel Gabriel.
Known Devil Angels include -
Rika Manabe (Djibril):The first of the three Devil Angels, as well as the only one not related, by blood or choice, to Naoto. She is Loveriel's replacement in the first game, due to a mutually assured destruction strategy going wrong. She was captured in the second game by a giant worm creature, and over the course of the game, put through a perverse version of her training in the first game, and in the third game, she was weakened by the use of a spell cast through the corrupted hand of Dark Aries.
Hikari Jinno (Djibril Aries/Dark Aries):The second of the three Devil Angels, Aries was recruited to replace Rika when she is defeated in battle and taken as spoils. She also spends most of the third game in a second, corrupted, persona of Dark Aries, which has a unique power to control minds. She is stronger willed than Rika, managing to break the controlling influence of Misty May in the third game multiple times, and, at least in the anime, summoning her own 'Super Nova' style attack despite being almost completely controlled.
New Angelic Gaia Interface (Djibril Zero):Djibril Zero is a last-resort Djibril, in that a N.A.G.I. has the capability to regenerate damage, and even incapacitation, within reason, can be recovered from as long as the interface can be restarted properly. She has only been used once in this capacity, during the third game, when Jibril Aries is abducted, and used to further incapacitate the original Djibril.
Meimi Otonashi (Misty Mei):While not a Devil Angel in the sense that she was recruited by Asmo originally, Misty Mei does gain power in the same ways as all three Djibrils. Numerous attempts have been made to befriend Misty Mei, but she is never able to achieve her actual Djibril appearance or identity, appearing, in all three original games, as a gothic lolita with black bat wings. Notably, She was pivotal in some cases to the capture and controlling of the first two Devil Angels.
Super X-32:A false angel created in the third game and anime, intended to be a counter for the Djibril series. Rather than having a human component, Super X-32 is a gynoid with several weapons and features intended to render the need for agents like Dark Aries and Misty Mei largely redundant. In the anime, she is considered to be Nagi's mirror duplicate, while in the games, she is only encountered once during NAGI's ending path.
"Tenshi no Shiki" (Angelic Ceremony): By performing particular sex acts under the same conditions as when they accumulate Amore certain powers are stored up. Each power has two different forms: A Heaven Form and a Hell Form, which are achieved by a different act, but give the same effect. Despite the names of the forms, they do not visibly cause a Devil Angel to have a greater or lesser chance of turning Dark over time. These were phased out with later revisions of the Djibril transformation process.
"Cellular Regeneration": A unique power of Djibril Zero, She is able to regenerate battle damage like the loss of limbs without too much effort, but she is not able to avoid some forms of damage, due to limits in her programming. This also allows her to shape-shift parts of her body to create extra weapons to offset the loss of some human-type DJibrils.
"Angel Super Nova": A Super Form, used once when their main powers fail them, this powers them up, allowing them to break free of whatever danger they are in. It is empowered by the wishes of someone who they especially care about.
As far as can be told, Djibril Zero, Super X-32 and Misty Mei cannot use any version of this ability, the former due to being artificially created, the latter due to never appearing in any of the three games as an angel.
"Zero Cannon": An ability shown for Djibril Zero in the anime, it allows her to attack demons at more extreme ranges, by firing a beam of positively-charged Amore, with the side-effect that it cannot be used to defeat Devil Angels, including artificial ones like Super X-32.
In the original three games, The themes, where appropriate, are used in instrumental form as a leitmotif
for each of the main female leads, and a remixed instrumental form is used as the menu theme for all four games. The Lyrics, Composer, and Vocals of the theme songs were written by the Japanese pop rock band, Funta
(Under the name of U), with the help of the Anime J-Pop company, GWAVE.
Kuru Kuru Lovely Day was released as an audio CD as part of the promotional materials for Episode 3. Other themes include "Control Is Impossible", A fast tune used in the three games and two anime to indicate a comical or crazy moment, which seems, in a lot of cases, to involve directly Luvriel, becoming almost a leitmotif
in itself.

Story
It all started in when summer break began. Naoto Jinno (Jinno Naoto, also called Naokun, Naoko and Jinokon) was trying to profess his love for Rika Manabe (Manabe Rika) a park. Suddenly a boy named Asmodeus (also called "Asumo" and "Asmo") appeared. He declared he was a private in the army of Hell and said that he will corrupt (Rika's) soul. Naoto and Rika simply turned away and ignored him. this incensed the little demon so he sent tentacles to knock Naoto down and attacked Rika in an attempt to kidnap her. Naoto was in no position to help her but at that very moment, a girl named Luvriel, who said she was an angel, came and saved them after battling with him.Luvriel was injured in the battle against the devil and Naoto and Rika took her to (one of the character's) home. Luvriel then told them that she knew that the demons were "up to something" and she was sent to their "realm" to investigate. She said that she was following the demon boy's "scent" when she saw him attacking them and came to the rescue. She also informs them that the devil would return for another attack.
Because Luvriel had lost her power during the fight, she said she needed someone else to become a "holy battle angel" to fight as a replacement. Naoto wanted to do it but Luvriel said that he could not do the job because all angels are girls.
So Rika volunteered but was shocked and embarrassed (as was Naoto) to learn that in order for her to become a holy battle angel she had to not only have Luvriel's halo but she also had to get "Amore" power by "making love" with someone she cared for.
Naoto was the only one do do that job.
The demon boy had also lost his power in the fight. He then met up with Meimi Otonashi (Otonashi Meimi, a classmate of Naoto's at her home), who happened to see Naoto ask Rika to go out with him. This made Meimi jealous of Rika, and she went home crying. Taking advantage of her jealousy, Asmodeus turned Meimi into a demon, Misty May (who, much to Asmo's dismay, turned out to be a more evil and hard to control subordinate), to help him attack Rika again.
Meanwhile, Luvriel turned Rika into "St. Djibril" (Jiburiru) to help her fight against the forces of evil.
After the first series ends, the story continues with "Jiburiru, the Second Coming" ("Book"s 1-4). New characters including Hikari Jinno (Jinno Hikari), Naoto's little sister (later on she is his called his sister-in-law and still later she becomes his step sister) and Miss Rococo, Asmo's sister appear in the new series. Within the series, Rika gets kidnapped by Misty Mei by using her tentacle monster ("the eternal worm") to attack Rika. After the kidnapping, Naoto becomes upset that Rika was taken away. Similar to Rika's fate in the first series, Luvriel gets Hikari to become a Jiburiru. However, for this to occur, Naoto must have sex with his sister. Initially, Naoto is shocked and refuses to commit such an incestuous-like act, but soon changes his mind when Hikari offers herself in order to save Rika. (Hikari has returned from overseas to confess her love for Naoto anyway.) As they have sex, Hikari transforms into DJibril (Jiburiru) Aries and fights the forces of evil... including Dark DJibril, who Rococo converted Rika Manabe into with sex with her Eternal Worm monster and herself- (including by using her clitoris that transforms into a penis! [In a later "book" episode she gives Jiburiru one of her own!])
Eventually Jiburiru Aries defeats Misty Mei, Rococo and Dark DJibril turns back into Rika.

Devil Angels
A major plot point of each of the three games is the transformation of the female lead into one of the Devil Angels, under the title of DJibril, with later games, and the associated anime including the sub-plot of cleansing a former lead character. This is done using a halo, normally supplied by Loveriel, but alternative transformation methods do appear in the various games.The form of a Devil Angel differs with the person, with each having both an angelic aspect and a demonic aspect, depending on how they gain the power to transform. These usually are signified by a change in hair color, with angelic Djibrils, all having hair that is some shade of light blue, and transformation into a leotard-style outfit. The only exclusion to this is the New Angelic Gaia Interface, which only has the change being that Nagi is changed into a leotard. In Makai Tenshi Djibril 4, however, this is changed completely to a form of jumpsuit, with hair colors not changing.
In the games, the dark aspect is indicated by the colors of their uniforms changing to red and black, as well as changing their eye color, as well as other additions dependent on the level of corruption. Later games used the specific title Djibril for them so they wouldn't be confused with the historical angel Gabriel.

She was captured in the second game by a giant worm creature, and over the course of the game, put through a perverse version of her training in the first game, and in the third game, she was weakened by the use of a spell cast through the corrupted hand of Dark Aries.

In the anime, she is considered to be Nagi's mirror duplicate, while in the games, she is only encountered once during NAGI's ending path.
Powers
"Amore" (Magical Energy): Transforms Rika, Hikari or Nagi into Djbril from having sex with a person of the opposite sex for whom they care for. Negative Amore, created by tentacle and/or demonic sex causes a Devil Angel to turn dark. Notably, Super X-32 can absorb and use positively-charged Amore according to the anime, making it clear the Amore is virtually identical, but processed differently by a Devil Angel, however it is made."Tenshi no Shiki" (Angelic Ceremony): By performing particular sex acts under the same conditions as when they accumulate Amore certain powers are stored up. Each power has two different forms: A Heaven Form and a Hell Form, which are achieved by a different act, but give the same effect. Despite the names of the forms, they do not visibly cause a Devil Angel to have a greater or lesser chance of turning Dark over time.

This also allows her to shape-shift parts of her body to create extra weapons to offset the loss of some human-type DJibrils.
"Angel Super Nova": A Super Form, used once when their main powers fail them, this powers them up, allowing them to break free of whatever danger they are in. It is empowered by the wishes of someone who they especially care about.
- In Series 1, Djibril used this to break up the perverted Angelic Ceremony and allowed herself to destroy Rirouge.
- In Series 2, Djibril Aries used a variant of the technique to both defeat Dark Djibril and to break free of the dark trance.
As far as can be told, Djibril Zero, Super X-32 and Misty Mei cannot use any version of this ability, the former due to being artificially created, the latter due to never appearing in any of the three games as an angel.
"Zero Cannon": An ability shown for Djibril Zero in the anime, it allows her to attack demons at more extreme ranges, by firing a beam of positively-charged Amore, with the side-effect that it cannot be used to defeat Devil Angels, including artificial ones like Super X-32.
Theme Songs
In the quadrilogy, the opening theme songs differ from one another. Game theme songs were later inserted in the anime series at the end of credits, when the episode ends, in lieu of title credits. These were supplemented in the latest two games by ending themes, with both games having their opening sequences released online well in advance of the game's release.In the original three games, The themes, where appropriate, are used in instrumental form as a leitmotif
