ONA
Description
A violent heist at a Vatican City museum pulls demon hunter Dante into a sinister plot to forge a rift between the human world and Hell. Dante, a laid-back cambion who inherited the demonic power of his father Sparda, runs a demon-hunting business while staying one step ahead of the government organization Dark Realm Command (DARKCOM), which is led by Vice President William Baines and views Dante as a threat. The heist’s mastermind is the White Rabbit, a demon-obsessed terrorist who steals the legendary sword Force Edge, once owned by Sparda, and broadcasts his intention to destroy the barrier between realms and bring about the apocalypse. As the White Rabbit and his demonic servants, including the plant serpent Echidna and the shapeshifting Plasma, wreak havoc, DARKCOM lieutenant Mary Ann Arkham—whom Dante nicknames Lady—is assigned to hunt him down. Dante and Lady cross paths repeatedly, their mutual distrust gradually evolving into a reluctant alliance against the greater demonic threat. Meanwhile, Dante’s twin brother, Vergil, emerges as a rival whose strength matches his own; Vergil harbors his own ambitions regarding the power of the demon world. The first season culminates in the White Rabbit’s attempt to open a permanent gateway to Hell, forcing Dante to confront his past and the legacy of his father. A second season expands the conflict with the introduction of the sorcerer Arius von Erenburg, CEO of the Uroboros Corporation and founder of DARKCOM, who seeks to free the imprisoned former king of Hell, Argosax the Chaos. Vergil’s role deepens as he becomes known as the armored demon Nelo Angelo, and the battle between the twin brothers intensifies. The series is set in a modern urban world where demons lurk in the shadows and humanity’s institutions are ill-equipped to handle the supernatural threat. Key allies include the information broker Enzo Ferino, who supplies Dante with jobs, and the weapons engineer Nell Goldstein. Notable narrative arcs include Dante and Vergil’s fraught brotherhood, Lady’s personal tragedy involving her father John Arkham (who becomes the demon Jester), and the escalating demonic invasion that forces humans and demon hunters alike to choose sides. The story balances high-octane action with Dante’s characteristic wisecracking attitude and a growing sense of responsibility for protecting the human world.
