After the closing credits of episode 10 of _Devilman: Crybaby_ , the series
ends on an image of a reformed Earth with two moons.

Why does Earth have two moons at the end of Devilman: Crybaby?

Why does Earth have two moons after the season finale?


The new moon seems to be a chunk of the old earth, the first episode's
introduction scene where God is destroying earth we see this pretty easily
illustrated.

Earth Before:

Earth After:

And since this same event occurs during the end of Devilman: Crybaby, it's
safe to assume this is the cause of the second moon during the post-credits
sequence.

As for a reasoning on showing this with such prevalence ( **light spoilers
ahead** ): a lot of elements from the Devilman: Crybaby adaptation actually
come from the "fleshing out" (or more accurately "hinting at") of the
timelooping themes of the later Devilman Series works, namely the few Devilman
"sequels", such as [Violence
Jack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violence_Jack) and [Devilman
Lady](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil_Lady) (simply Devil Lady in
English).

The two moons are the two halves of the old moon split apart in the final
battle.

This happened during the season finale but can also be seen in the ending
credits and is alluded to in the opening. It holds symbolism for the main
conflict of the show between Akira and Ryo. It also ties in with other works
in the series [as mentioned by
@Sn0wCrack](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/44526/31618).
