NetflixDetailed Bias Analysis

Progressive
Primary
The series explicitly positions the U.S. government as the central antagonist, using the human-demon conflict as a direct allegory to critique U.S. foreign policy, military interventionism, and the treatment of refugees, aligning with anti-imperialist and progressive viewpoints.
The series incorporates diverse voice casting, notably with an Asian-American actor in a traditionally white lead role, and features strong female characters. Its narrative includes allegorical themes concerning marginalized groups and critiques of authoritarian policies and imperialism, embedding socio-political commentary. However, these DEI elements are integrated into the action-fantasy narrative rather than being a primary, explicit focus.
Secondary
The series features Mary (Lady), a skilled human combatant, who engages in and wins a close-quarters physical fight against the powerful male demon hybrid, Dante. She uses a combination of melee weapons and hand-to-hand combat to temporarily subdue him.
The show critically portrays Christian institutions and figures as corrupt or villainous, with a politician invoking Christian imagery framed as an antagonist. It inverts Christian symbolism to emphasize institutional corruption, leading to viewer interpretation of the narrative as anti-Christian.
The 2025 'Devil May Cry' anime series centers on action and demonic battles, without featuring or focusing on LGBTQ+ themes or characters. Based strictly on the series' content, there is no meaningful portrayal or representation of the LGBTQ+ community within its narrative or character development.
The 2025 "Devil May Cry" series portrays main characters like Dante, Vergil, Nero, and Lady with genders consistent with their established canonical forms from the video game series. No evidence suggests any character's on-screen gender differs from their original source material.
The characters in Devil May Cry are supernatural or Western fantasy archetypes whose specific real-world race was not explicitly defined or visually unambiguous in the source material. The diverse voice cast does not alter a canonically established race for any character.
