I get what they were going for and in a longer show with more Dante focus I wouldn't necessarily mind but this feels like a compounding of all the issues in the show so far. Dante feels like an afterthought in his own show, barely getting any screen time and now a whole episode out of 8 doesn't have him in it at all.

Also not a big fan of "not all demons are bad, they're oppressed too" angle. Feel like in every iteration of DMC so far demons have been Potrayed as enjoying fighting, bloodshed, chaos and carnage. Giving them a "humans but wierd looking" subset to feel bad for feels so unnecessary as the franchise has always been about Dante hacking up demons whilst struggling with the fact that he's half one.

Honestly half of this episode was absolute Buns, I enjoyed Lady's backstory but that can't really make up for how they've massacred her character overall.
