A pet dog is beheaded and stuck on a pike. Like the rabbit, it is a still image of a dead animal and is not animated. The dog is not seen before or after this.

Not mentioned in the ova but one of them is technically a reincarnated immortal without realizing it, but in some continuities the guy he's in love with is also a reincarnated immortal without realizing it, so it's kinda a wash.

At the sabbath scene near the end, a woman transforms into a demon. You see her breasts/nipples splitting in two as they transform into mouths with teeth. No blood but it's disturbing so although it's not technically "genitalia" I'm putting it here

To become devilman, Akira has to be possessed by a demon to try to suppress it and gain its powers. Several background characters were also possessed.

If you want to go into the manga afterwards, be warned about Shin Devilman. It is filler that was inserted into a recent reprint of the original manga. It contains a chapter about Adolf Hitler. I wish I was joking.

It ends with a character appearing as though they are dead, though they are fine in the next OVA. The series as a whole has a miserable ending though.
