Devil May Cry Anime Trailer Revealed
After setting up the stakes for this anime’s story, Dante is shown engaging in stylish combat, inspired largely by the material the show is adapting. Dante is shown flipping between various fighting stances that take cues from the Swordmaster, Gunslinger, and Royal GuardStyles seen throughout games likeDevil May Cry 5. Within the quick cuts of combat set to “Last Resort” by Papa Roach, Dante’s shown speaking to series regular Lady, apparently for the first time, and before she has the scar that she’s been shown with in most of the games.
Comic Book Resource has reportedthat this story is somewhat inspired byDevil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening. It looks like it may be making up its timeline by borrowing elements from various parts of theDevil May Crycontinuity. The trailer ends with a sneak peek at Vergil, Dante’s iconic twin brother, stepping into the middle of a fight. This leads to events that prompt Dante to transform, teasing his powerful Devil Trigger ability. Although much of the show seems filled with fast-paced action, Dante taking on foes in his Demon form is likely to be a highlight, and fans won’t have to wait long after the trailer whentheDevil May Cryseries releases on April 3.
