Dante isn’t the only character with great one-liners in Netflix’s Devil May Cry.
Netflix’s Devil May Cry adaptation is an origin story for Dante and a reboot of the entire world. He’s the Dante most know and love from the games. He has a demon-hunting agency, loves food, and cannot help himself by spewing as cheesy lines as the pizza he likes to consume.
He still has no idea that he’s half demon, though, and this new adaptation plays with expectations as he is thrown into a war between the underworld and the U.S. government in New York City. Between Dante and the rest of the cast, there are some great lines to love in Netflix’s Devil May Cry.

“Mythology Exists To Explain Reality.”
Dr. Fisher is a researcher who is connected to the Darkcom team. He appears in the first episode to brief a council of U.S. government officials, including the President and Vice President, on what could be a demon invasion. When a random politician scoffs at the idea, Dr. Fisher explains how it’s not that weird and how mythology can explain a lot of human history. Of course, there are no demons in reality, but it’s a solid point to showcase that science can always find a logical answer through research. 7
“I Don’t Think That’s The Guy.”
In episode two, Darkcom puts together a team of mercenaries to find and bring Dante in for questioning or to at least get his necklace. When the first batch arrives at Dante’s pad, they find Enzo tied up in a chair made to look like Dante, complete with a wig made from a mop. One of the unnamed mercenaries says this line so obviously that it’s hard not to laugh because Enzo looks ridiculous. Enzo, to clarify, is Dante’s broker who sold him out just to save his own hide.
