Japanese newspaper Sankei Sports reported on Friday that Shotaro Ishinomori's Cyborg 009 and Go Nagai's Devilman series will get a crossover anime, titled Cyborg 009 vs. Devilman. The anime will open in Japanese theaters in October for a limited two-week engagement.

In the story of Cyborg 009, Joe Shimamura and others gained cyborg powers when they were involuntarily altered by an evil organization, and then they fight to protect the world against the organization. The story of Devilman follows Akira Fudō, who fights invading enemies to save humanity after being possessed by demon powers.

In the new film, the two title characters will meet and battle because of a certain incident. The tagline reads, "Who will survive…?"

Nagai worked as an assistant to Ishinomori and drew backgrounds for Cyborg 009 before launching Devilman. According to Sankei Sports, Nagai has had thoughts on a collaboration with Ishinomori for a long time.

A new Cyborg 009 anime project and a Devilman anime project had already been announced for limited event screenings this fall, but the two announcements were not linked together at first.
