The opening credits of the second chapter of Diabolik bring to mind the universe of James Bond, the special agent who, in the late 1960s, the era in which the film is set, was the world’s most famous hero with a "licence to kill". Diabolik is an anti-hero who needs no official permission for his conduct. Unlike the first film, where we see Diabolik through the eyes of Eva Kant, who gives him a more 'human' dimension, in Diabolik – Ginko all'attacco!, the perspective is that of his arch-enemy, Inspector Ginko.
