Devil May Cry already had an anime adaptation back in 2007, but Netflix is giving it another go with Adi Shankar (Castlevania) as creator, showrunner, and executive producer. While we’ve been eagerly waiting for news on it for months now, fans continue to uncover new details in the last piece of footage released in late 2023.
The discovery isn’t even that big, but nobody had pointed out something that was hiding in plain sight in the BTS featurette. It comes from r/DevilMayCry, where user Weekly-Talk-9959 pointed out a few in-progress shots, as well as the complete one we’ve used as the article’s main image, clearly show a sword strap on Dante’s back.
This may not seem like a big deal, especially for gamers who haven’t really delved into the famous character action, hack n’ slash video game series, but fans had been wondering for a very long time how the hell Dante’s sword stayed vertically on his back, which, to be fair, isn’t something that only affects the DMC games. Mind you, Devil May Cry is all about demons, over-the-top action, and all kinds of crazy stuff, so who cares anyway? Well, it seems like some creatives did.
