Which Devil May Cry Character Are You?

Learn More About Devil May Cry

Devil May Cry landed on Netflix as an anime adaptation of Capcom's long-running action franchise, and its second season arrived on May 12, 2026, riding a wave of goodwill from a first season that converted plenty of viewers who had never touched a PlayStation controller. Produced with Adi Shankar at the helm and much of the English voice cast returning from season one, the show translates two decades of demon-hunting video game lore into a stylish, self-aware piece of television.

At the center of it all is Dante (Johnny Yong Bosch), a wisecracking, half-demon mercenary who runs a devil-hunting business as much for the paycheck as the principle. Dante's father, Sparda, was a legendary demon knight who turned against his own kind to protect humanity, and Dante has inherited both his father's power and a much more relaxed attitude about using it.

Season two leans hard into Dante's complicated family history by finally giving real screen time to Vergil, Dante's twin brother and the show's most compelling antagonist. Where Dante shrugs off responsibility, Vergil is consumed by it — specifically, an obsession with claiming their father's full power for himself, whatever the cost to the people, or the brother, standing in his way.

Lady, also known as Mary, adds a crucial human perspective to a show otherwise dominated by demons and half-demons. A soldier hunting the supernatural for deeply personal reasons, Lady does not have Dante's inherited power or Vergil's demonic heritage, just discipline, weapons, and an unwillingness to quit, which in this universe turns out to be its own kind of terrifying.

Looming over the season's plot is White Rabbit, a mysterious figure who spent years as an underused footnote in Capcom's unfinished Devil May Cry manga before the Netflix writers rebuilt him into the first season's central antagonist. White Rabbit operates less through brute force than through manipulation, patience, and a long game the other characters spend most of the show failing to fully see coming.

Rounding out the found-family energy of Dante's orbit is Nell Goldstein, the mechanic and tech specialist who keeps the demon-hunting business's guns, cars, and improvised gadgets actually functioning. Characters like Nell rarely get the flashiest fight scenes, but they are the reason the show has real stakes beneath the style.

Visually, the series distinguishes itself from the games by leaning into a moodier, more grounded anime aesthetic rather than chasing photorealistic renders, which lets the animators go bigger with increasingly outlandish demon designs without breaking the emotional register of the quieter, character-driven scenes.
