This is symbolized by the baton pass scene, which is repeated several times and always ends in the baton being dropped when Akira tries to pass it to Ryo.

Aesop Amnesia: No matter how many time loops pass, Ryo will never accept that love exists and by extension, the fact that he loves Akira until it's too late.

Admiring the Abomination: Though he seeks to eliminate the demons, at least at first, he still compliments their exceptional combat abilities and survival skills, even pointing out that unlike humans they don't fall victim to paranoia or let their emotions dictate their actions.

Then when Akira charges at him and strikes the first blow, Ryo immediately throws said reluctance out the window and fights back in earnest, and when he kills Akira, it's clearly intentional. In Crybaby, Ryo made no such offer, and while he also expresses reluctance to fight Akira, he's unable to realize why Akira is furious with him. In the manga, Ryo knew that a battle was inevitable, but he still pleaded with Akira to stop before and even when they were already fighting, and his action of killing Akira was completely accidental, and beforehand he even offered to spare the humans and the other Devilmen if Akira joined him.

There's also the way he acts during his fight with Akira.

By contrast, in the manga he grieved over the death of the demons, and ironically enough, the death of humanity at the same time. The fact that he only focuses on Akira, would seem to suggest that either he's only capable of empathy towards Akira, or he's just so emotionally repressed he's bad at showing his empathy. He isn't even unfazed by their total eradication in the final battle that he doesn't even bother to mention them one time in his musings. He prefers them over the humans, but that's all there is to it. It's not that he's a Bad Boss, but even though he's their leader, he shows no attachment to them like he did in the manga.

Ryo isn't as kind to the demons in this adaptation.

Likewise, after awakening as Satan, in the manga Ryo is still very emotional but has better control of his emotions, whereas in Crybaby he is more monotonous in nature - at least until his breakdown. Ryo had the ability to empathize and cry for those he cared about, all of which is gone from his incarnation in Crybaby.Ryo isn't saddened by the fact that his actions made Akira his enemy, and he doesn't get the epiphany that by exterminating all the humans on Earth, he's no better than God - who he resented for attempting to do the same to demonkind.This isn't the case in the anime, as seen in a few flashbacks where he callously tries to kill a dying cat and almost does the same to a pair of capybaras who entered the same springs he and Akira were bathing in. In the manga Ryo has a soft spot for animals, loves nature, and was suffering from Sanity Slippage while taking drugs and alcohol to cope with the existence of demons, with Shin Devilman and the deluxe edition of Devilman showing his much kinder side before he learned about demons.Adaptational Villainy: Ryo is still the Big Bad of the story although while he was more of an Anti-Villain in the manga, the "anti-" part is completely removed in the anime, with his character being much more cruel and psychopathic.Ryo was already smart and clever in the original manga, but in Crybaby his status as a Teen Genius is illustrated with his job as a professor living in America.

Adaptational Intelligence: Downplayed.It helps that his character designer drew Ryo with the idea of making him appear more androgynous. In Crybaby, he's much more prettier-looking to the point that there's not much change in his facial features when he shifts into his angel form, and he's even described In-Universe to be beautiful both before and after his transformation. In the manga, Ryo was already portrayed as good-looking, but the change in his appearance when he transforms into Satan is much more notable as his face transforms from fairly masculine to borderline feminine and elegant. Adaptational Attractiveness: Heavily downplayed.
