Only a couple of days are left for the Devil May Cry series to make its debut on Netflix and earn itself the title of being the best video game adaptation in the anime industry. The series is evidently all set to take on the challenge and is speculated to have a brilliant storyline with enticing character development and thrilling battle sequences.
However, there are still a lot of mysteries left about the series that fans are dying to know. One such mystery is the cast of characters that will play a crucial role in the story and help the demon hunter Dante grow as a protagonist of Devil May Cry. There are many characters who have been hinted at, but the one that fans are hoping for is Bolverk.
Bolverk might not be the most important character in the Devil May Cry storyline, but he certainly has excelled in different aspects that make him an intriguing character. His addition to the Devil May Cry series could work in favor of the story and help the anime achieve the kind of success that the creators are hoping for.
Bolverk might be Devil May Cry’s most underrated warrior
While there is not much storyline for Bolverk’s character in the Devil May Cry narrative, he still has his moments as a powerful demon warrior who has had the chance to duel with Dante. Bolverk is often accompanied by his wolf companions, Freki and Geri, and the three make up a dangerous team that has a brutal fighting style.
Bolverk is based on an alias used by Odin in Norse Mythology, and thus, he replicates Odin’s narrative in a few ways. In Devil May Cry, Bolverk once fought against The Dark Knight Sparda but was unable to defeat him, and from there on, he vowed to defeat Sparda’s heir and take his revenge against the extremely powerful father of Dante and Vergil.
Bolverk looks completely like a Norse warrior in terms of physical stature, and his story growth in the game makes him a perfect contender to be a part of the Devil May Cry anime series. While he might not get a majorly significant role, he still might leave an impression on fans.
Bolverk’s twin swords and wolf companions would be a great addition to Devil May Cry
Bolverk’s unprecedented skills as a warrior are reflected in the many battles and fights that he has been a part of. Usually, he is accompanied by his wolf companions and a spear-like sword that has blades on each side. Together they become a menacing combination that can take down even the strongest characters within the series.
Bolverk’s wolves are called Freki and Geri, and they are pale white wolf phantoms who obey Bolverk’s orders no matter what. They are the perfect servants for Bolverk and are also inspired by Norse mythology. They are quite powerful and offer great competition to Dante, as seen during their battle within the game.
In terms of weapons, Bolverk uses a twin sword that looks like a spear. It gives him additional range against his opponents and makes his attacks more lethal by using two blades instead of one. It perfectly justifies Bolverk’s brutal fighting style in Devil May Cry.
Bolverk’s high-speed combat is perfect for Devil May Cry anime
Bolverk was part of Devil May Cry 2, and his battle against Dante was one of the biggest highlights of the game. His presence as a Norse-inspired demonic knight who not only has twin swords but is also accompanied by two white wolves makes him look like a menacing figure, and his fighting sequences only add more aura to his character.
Bolverk’s battle sequences are visually striking and grab the attention of the viewers as they perfectly fit with his devastating way of dealing with his opponents. This makes him a great addition to the Devil May Cry anime series, as he would not only help with the animation quality but also add a unique fighting sequence to the story.
He might not fit the role of the main antagonist, but he can perfectly play an individual demonic villain who can challenge Dante. He would certainly help Dante’s power display in the anime series and also create a development for himself. In the end, it all depends upon the creators and how they deal with the cast of characters in Devil May Cry.
Devil May Cry will be available to stream on Netflix from 3 April 2025.
