At long last, Adi Shankar’s “Devil May Cry” can now be streamed on Netflix, living up to fan expectations! The fresh perspective given to Dante’s tale is nothing short of amazing, with the anime series incorporating familiar characters from the beloved video game franchise, as well as introducing some new faces. The initial season primarily revolves around Dante uncovering his genuine identity and acknowledging the demon blood of Sparda coursing through his veins.

In the initial season, the White Rabbit proved to be an exceptional antagonist, challenging Dante to the utmost. Miraculously, Dante managed to avert Armageddon and vanquish the Rabbit, with Mary’s assistance. However, it’s worth noting that a fresh danger now casts a shadow over Sparda’s son. As of now, he has yet to encounter the real adversaries that were hinted at in the concluding scenes of Season 1.

Dante Is Demon Sparda’s Son In Devil May Cry

The Savior Of Humanity Is A Hybrid

Since his early years, Dante (Johnny Yong Bosch) was exceptionally strong and swift, making him a formidable adversary for demons. Moreover, he possessed remarkable healing abilities, which made it extremely challenging for enemies to defeat him. Interestingly, these extraordinary traits weren’t divine blessings; instead, they originated from the Devil.

In a time long past, before present-day events, the realms of demons and humans were connected. Mundus, with ambitions to rule over both, sought to subjugate humanity. Yet, Sparda’s inner will drove him to prevent this impending genocide. Not only did Sparda vanquish countless demon soldiers, but he also cast a spell to establish a barrier between the two worlds as a means of protection.

In simpler terms, the obstacle kept demons out of the human dimension. Meanwhile, Sparda resided in the human realm, earning hero status among humans, while Mundus controlled the demon realm for personal gain. Later on, Sparda encountered a human female and had two offspring, Dante and Vergil. Born as demons, these brothers possessed immense power unbeknownst to them. Their father, Sparda, mysteriously abandoned his family, leaving them with their mother’s care.

As for me, I’m open to any position that offers a fair wage, and if it happens to entail vanquishing spectral beings like demons, so much the better. Yet, I make no promises about attachment or investment in the work itself.

Despite its effectiveness in keeping most interdimensional entities at bay, there were occasional glitches that led to brief openings of portals between realms. Mundus, who harbored deep-seated animosity towards Sparda, found himself unable to exploit these portals due to their restrictions against larger or more potent demons. However, the weaker offspring were able to navigate through them, provided they knew the specific locations of these gateways. Seeking revenge and inflicting pain on his enemy, Mundus dispatched some of his minions through these portals with the intent of striking at Sparda’s family.

A feeble band of demons located Sparda’s kin and brutally murdered Dante’s mother and brother, leaving the young boy in hiding. Unable to intervene due to his youth, Dante watched helplessly as his family was slain by these demonic creatures. As he matured, however, Dante harnessed his abilities to eliminate demons, so long as he received compensation. Slaying demons became a means for him to exact vengeance on the beings responsible for his family’s tragic fate.

The White Rabbit Wasn’t A Demon After All

He Was A Human Who Wanted To Give Ordinary Demons A Chance At Survival

At first glance, spectators assumed the White Rabbit was a malevolent demon, but they were mistaken. In reality, he was a human child who had been transported to the demon realm via a portal. Despite being shunned in his original world, he found camaraderie among demons. Growing up in Hell, he lived contentedly until the polluted atmosphere of the demon realm claimed several loved ones. Concerned that ordinary demons were perishing due to the toxic air, the human boy invented a mechanism for detecting interdimensional gateways.

I, a fervent believer, harbored the belief that I could rescue these innocent demons, shielding them from their current realm and transporting them to our human world. Yet, these demons, untouched by the Holy War, met an unfortunate end at the hands of Mary and her DARKCOM allies. Having suffered enough loss, I decided not to peacefully bring over these chosen demons, but rather, I resolved to shatter the barrier separating our worlds.

The Rabbit, aware that the removal of this barrier could potentially lead to a human overrun by less-than-peaceful demons, was still prepared to pay such a price. This sacrifice, in his eyes, would grant these beings an equal chance at survival. He despised humanity for their privileged access to fresh air while they chose to overlook the hidden world of Makai.

Before the boy could launch an attack on humans, he first needed to grow stronger to combat Dante and the DARKCOM troops. To achieve this, he invented a device that kept a steady supply of demon blood coursing through his system, granting him phenomenal strength and rapid healing. Given his affection for Alice in Wonderland, he also devised a Rabbit mask to hide his real persona.

The White Rabbit’s Final Attempt To Break Sparda’s Barrier

The White Rabbit understood that several items were essential to shatter Sparda’s fortification. These included Sparda’s blade, the amulets imbued with power, and a blend of Dante’s and Vergil’s blood. So, the Rabbit planned to extract Dante’s blood once he transformed into his Devil Trigger state. Consequently, he provoked and challenged Dante to bring forth the demonic strength within him. Eventually, the Rabbit managed to gather all the necessary items, but his success was short-lived as both Dante and Mary teamed up against him. With the barrier breached, it didn’t last long before Dante sliced the Rabbit in two with his enchanted sword.

The Final Episode Teases Darker Events For Devil May Cry Season 2

Mary Betrays Dante And Prevents Him From Finding His Brother

In this scenario, the boundary remains intact, yet openings to other dimensions persist across both realms. This occasion sees William Baines, Vice President of the United States, taking action against Makai, convinced he’s serving divine purposes. The US military swiftly eliminates numerous innocent demons and establishes a vast fortress in Hell. However, little does this proud man realize that the gravest danger lies ahead in the Demon Realm, with Mundus being a significant menace among them.

Dante made a remarkable discovery: he found out that his brother was not dead but had been kept alive all this time. It seems that Vergil might have been captured by demons during their past attack. Contrary to what Dante thought, it turned out that Vergil was under Mundus’ control, made to fight for the demonic forces. In fact, it was Vergil who handed over his amulet’s half and his blood to the White Rabbit.

In a different turn of phrase, here’s how we can rephrase that:
Dante was reluctant to leave his brother behind, yet Mary had deceived him before he could join forces with Vergil. Mary was aware that Vice President William Baines was perpetrating genocide, but she obeyed his orders nonetheless. The Lieutenant immobilized Dante using a serum, realizing his crucial role in the events unfolding. Banes then put Dante into a coma and acquired both Sparda’s sword and the amulet. With Dante imprisoned within an American military base, Vergil prepares to command the demon horde against mankind. In the upcoming season 2 of Devil May Cry, not only will Dante have to battle Vergil and Mundus, but also the U.S. military forces.
