With Season 1 of Devil May Cry setting the stage and teasing fans with a taste of Dante’s chaotic, stylish world, the anticipation for Season 2 is absolutely off the charts. It’s the kind of electric, edge-of-your-seat hype that only DMC fans can truly understand. While the first season gave us thrilling introductions and built the foundation, it left us craving more. The studio’s decision to diverge and move away from the source material didn’t sit well with many fans. Here are 10 scenes that we want to see in Devil May Cry Season 2 now that Netflix has officially announced the sequel.

1. Vergil (With a Proper Build-Up)
We’ve waited patiently, or should we say impatiently, seeing it’s only been one season. But even that season is too long for Dante’s brooding, sharp-tongued twin to make his proper anime debut. Vergil is more than just a fan-favorite. He’s an emotional cornerstone of the franchise. But fans don’t want him to just stroll in without fanfare at this point.
While we did see him briefly making an appearance, Season 2 needs to give us more. His arrival should feel almost like a storm brewing on the horizon. Subtle hints, cryptic mentions, and eerie silhouettes with Yamato’s signature glow that is what we need. When Vergil finally steps onto the screen, whether it is to face off against his twin or lend a hand, it should feel like the heavens (and hells) have shifted.
2. Dante’s Devil Trigger Scene, Fully Animated
We’ve seen sparks of Dante’s true power, but we haven’t witnessed the full, unrestrained glory of his Devil Trigger. Fans are begging for that one scene where Dante’s pushed to his limits and unleashes hell. The transformation should be a visual spectacle: wings bursting out, demonic roars, and neon auras cutting through darkness. It’s not just about power, it’s about showing us who Dante is underneath the wisecracks and swagger.
3. Phantom’s Boss Battle – A True Test of Scale
No Devil May Cry experience is complete without a proper, over-the-top boss fight. Season 2 of the anime adaption needs to deliver that cinematic battle moment, and who better to do it than Phantom, the lava-spitting, building-sized arachnid from DMC1? Because if we’re going to get a boss fight adapted into the DMC anime, why not have it from the first game? We’re talking Dante dodging fireballs through cathedrals, grappling onto limbs midair, and wisecracking through the flames. Fans want scale, stakes, and style all rolled into one chaotic, fiery brawl.
4. A Gunplay Ballet with Ebony and Ivory
Dante doesn’t just shoot, he dances with bullets. Season 1 gave us flashes of this, but fans are craving a full-on, high-octane gun-fu sequence. Picture this: Dante flipping off walls, ricocheting bullets off chandeliers, spinning through demon mobs like a storm in a leather coat. Ebony and Ivory aren’t just weapons, they’re extensions of Dante’s soul. Let them sing.
5. Trish’s True Power Unleashed
She’s got the look, she’s got the lightning, now give her the screen time she deserves. Trish has the potential to be the breakout star of Devil May Cry’s Season 2. Fans want to see her go full throttle: zipping across battlefields in blurs of electricity, throwing down in tandem with Dante, and showing us why she’s not to be underestimated. Bonus points if she brings back her motorcycle. Not that an explanation is needed as to why that would be epic, but still, nothing says “power move” like wheelies and thunderclaps.
6. A Pizza-Fueled Mid-Mission Comedy Scene
There’s a special kind of joy in seeing a demon-slaying badass take a breather to argue about pizza toppings. It’s that irreverent charm that makes DMC so unique. Fans are hoping for a mid-fight or post-battle scene in the next season of the anime where Dante casually scarfs down a slice, maybe while a demon writhes behind him or Lady yells at him for being late. These goofy, human moments are what make us love him even more.
7. The Rebellion Sword in a Pivotal Moment
Rebellion isn’t just Dante’s weapon. It’s his legacy. Fans are hoping for a moment where the sword becomes more than just a tool, a real back against the wall moment for our protagonist, where it pulses with energy, and we get some backstory. Maybe he uses it to protect someone, maybe to break through a hellgate. Whatever the case, we want to feel the gravity of that moment. When he swings Rebellion, it should feel like the entire world is watching.
8. Return of Classic Soundtracks in Key Scenes
Let’s be honest: half of what makes Devil May Cry so unforgettable is the music. Season 2 has to lean into that. Bring back “Devils Never Cry” during a reflective moment, let “Shall Never Surrender” explode during a climax, and surprise us with remixes of old tracks. When those songs kick in, fans won’t just hear them, they’ll have to deal with a serious case of goosebumps as they feel the chills, the nostalgia, and the adrenaline. It won’t just be a vibe. It’ll truly be an experience.
9. A Flashback to Sparda’s Rebellion
Sparda, the legendary demon who chose humanity, is shrouded in mystery. Fans are dying to see that myth come to life. Imagine a gorgeously animated flashback sequence: Sparda facing demon armies alone, sealing dimensions, maybe even holding baby Dante in a rare moment of peace. It’s lore candy, and we are starving with a serious sweet tooth. Give us the legend, in all its epic, tragic beauty.
10. A Proper, Cheesy “Jackpot” Moment
This one is heavily predicated on how Vergil’s character is handled in season 2, but a man can always hope for that one moment. You know the one. That legendary moment when Dante and Vergil strike in sync, smirk, and say: “Jackpot.” It’s cheesy, it’s iconic, and it makes fans lose their minds every time. Whether it’s used in a tag-team battle or an emotional brotherly moment, fans are begging for that line. Because when it lands, it hits straight to the heart of what makes Devil May Cry special.
What We Want in Devil May Cry Season 2
Season 1 was a stylish appetizer that has sufficiently tantalized us, but now we want the full course of chaos that is the DMC franchise. The Devil May Cry anime has the chance to evolve into something truly special in Season 2. With emotional payoffs, breathtaking action, and just the right amount of sass and cheese, both the metaphorical and literal pizza kind of cheese, this could be the adaptation fans have dreamed of for years.
We’ve got our trench coats on, our swords sharpened, and our playlists queued. Let’s rock, because the devil never cries, but fans might if this season delivers everything we’re hoping for.
