The objective of this research is to analyze the visual elements that reflect the notion of devilish power in the transformations of shonen action protagonists in manga. Under the hypothesis that the visual elements are a visual manifestation of the complex relationship between good and evil in their narrative. Three popular manga were selected for the analysis of their protagonists: Black Clover (Asta), Bleach (Ichigo) and Nanatsu no Taizai (Meliodas) for which an analysis sheet and interviews with illustrators with knowledge of both manga and anime began. . The results reveal a graphic similarity in the transformations of the protagonists, with the presence of visual elements such as sharp horns, pointed fangs and claws. These elements, being part of the design, generate an impressive aesthetic and successfully convey the idea of diabolical power. It can be concluded that common visual elements such as claws, fangs, horns, wings, and the color black predominate in the visual representation of characters with demonic connotations. The spiked ends reinforce this effect, as do the markings and symbols that symbolize their connection and demonic power.
