In Devil May Cry season 1 episode 1, titled "Devil May Cry," we are introduced to the main character, Dante, a demon hunter with a troubled past. The episode opens with a young woman named Trish seeking Dante's help in stopping the demon king Mundus from conquering the world.
Dante, who runs a business called Devil May Cry where he takes on demon hunting jobs, initially refuses to help Trish. He is haunted by memories of his mother, who was killed by demons when he was a child, and feels that he doesn't want to get involved with demon fighting anymore. However, Trish insists that he is the only one who can defeat Mundus, and Dante eventually agrees to help.
The two travel to a castle where they believe Mundus is hiding. Along the way, they encounter a number of demons, whom Dante dispatches easily with his impressive martial arts skills and array of weapons. It quickly becomes clear that Dante is not to be trifled with, and that he is a highly skilled demon hunter.
When they reach the castle, Dante discovers that it is filled with traps and obstacles designed to hinder demon hunters. However, he and Trish manage to navigate the castle's dangers and make it to the top, where they confront Mundus.
Mundus reveals that he has a personal connection to Dante, and that he is responsible for many of the tragedies that have befallen him in his life. Dante is furious, and a fierce battle ensues between the two. Dante is able to use his demon powers to gain the upper hand, and eventually defeats Mundus.
The episode ends with Dante and Trish leaving the castle, but not without Dante expressing some reservations about the nature of his work. He realizes that demon hunting is not something that he chooses to do, but rather something that he was born to do. Despite this, he knows that he must continue to fight against the forces of evil, and promises to be there for Trish when she needs him.
Overall, Devil May Cry season 1 episode 1 is a thrilling introduction to the world of Dante, a demon hunter with a complex backstory and a strong sense of justice.

At the same time, it also explores some deeper themes, such as the nature of destiny and the price of vengeance. Fans of action and fantasy will no doubt find much to enjoy in this exciting series.
