The Devil May Cry anime series available on Netflix presents a vibrant interpretation of Capcom's cherished video game franchise. It examines the backstory of its compelling main character, Dante, highlighting his evolution into a powerful demon hunter. An intriguing aspect of this adaptation is the mysterious character known as the White Rabbit.

Who is the White Rabbit in Devil May Cry on Netflix?

  The White Rabbit is a minor character embodying a recurring archetype within the franchise. He appears in both the animated series and the manga. As noted by Game Rant, this character serves as a trickster with the primary goal of deceiving the sons of Sparda in a gambit to usurp the demon's power.

In one teaser, the White Rabbit demonstrates the ability to control or summon demons, creating confusion for Dante by leading him to believe that Vergil has located him. However, Dante manages to see through the illusion. This ability is reminiscent of his tactic of sending mannequins in his stead to confront his adversaries, as depicted in the manga. In another scene, the White Rabbit infiltrates a museum and uncovers the formidable Force Edge sword, once wielded by Sparda. Commanding a small legion of demons and equipped with a rocket launcher, the White Rabbit's actions have ignited speculation among fans.

Some theorize that he may be a disguise for an established character, with Arkham—who previously deceived Dante as the Jester—being a prominent hypothesis. Alternatively, it is also plausible that the White Rabbit is a reimagined character from the lesser-known manga, with his role reflecting the anime's tendency to modify the timeline.

When did the White Rabbit first make an appearance?

The  White Rabbit made its debut in the 2005 manga adaptation of Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening. This comic series, consisting of three parts, detailed the events leading up to the game's storyline. However, subsequent events in the series are derived from the game itself, resulting in a confusing timeline. Many readers have not accessed the two published volumes, and the third volume was never released, as reported by Game Rant. Therefore, it is unexpected that Netflix chose to feature this character in the anime.
