A satanic program is activated aboard a crowded commercial flight headed for Tokyo. It releases a swarm of invisible demons that send the aircraft plunging to a fiery doom. Everyone aboard is killed instantly - except Akito Kobayashi - owner of the devilish program and sworn ally of hell itself.
Kojiro Soma, an old elementary school friend of Akito`s, is surprised to see him enroll back in school. Kojiro notices how this once lonely boy has grown into a suave and arrogant teenager. Later, when his classmates are attacked and legendary demons return to stalk to streets of Tokyo, Kojiro begins to truly understand what his old friend has become.
Akito has plans for the human race. The plans revolve around magnetite, the mysterious element that forms the living essence of every human soul. Combined with his demonic software, a strong enough source of magnetite would release a plague of devils upon the Earth. That source exists in Kojiro`s class, but when the evil plan expands beyond even Akito`s grasp, it is Kojiro who must find the ultimate power within himself, and go head-to-head with the greatest demon of all!

Where it came from
Tokyo Revelation is a two-part original video animation (OVA) produced by J.C.Staff and released in 1995. It serves as a narrative continuation of the Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei series, specifically drawing inspiration from the atmosphere of the early Shin Megami Tensei games. The production emerged during a period when the dark, apocalyptic aesthetics of the Megami Tensei franchise were being adapted for the direct-to-video market, allowing the studio to experiment with a grittier and more mature tone than was typically found in mainstream television anime at the time.
The design of the OVA reflects the distinct, bleak visual language of 1990s cyberpunk-infused horror. The character designs and art direction aimed to translate the occult, demon-haunted streets of modern Tokyo into a grounded, cinematic experience. While received with mixed critical feedback regarding its pacing and deviations from the game’s original plot, it remains a notable artifact of mid-nineties OVA culture, documenting how studios interpreted the complex world-building of role-playing games for an audience looking for darker, specialized content.
