Devil May Cry season 2 shares more than just a number with Devil May Cry 2.
The Netflix series follows up its first animated effort by bringing in a handful of characters and lore from the much-maligned Devil May Cry 2, universally regarded as a low point for the hack-and-slash franchise. That includes Uroboros corporate overlord Arius and his ploy to reawaken the demon lord Argosax.
