On April 9, 2025, popular Twitch streamer Zack “Asmongold” showcased a fascinating clip from the newly released Netflix adaptation of Devil May Cry during his live broadcast. The content had originally surfaced on Reddit, where a user jokingly suggested that Asmongold might have made an appearance in the animated series. During his stream, Zack noted several uncanny similarities between himself and one of the characters from the show.
After sharing the clip from his subreddit, Zack compared his appearance to that of a character in a strikingly humorous way, stating:
“That’s crazy…I will say that it is kind of crazy that he is wearing a white shirt, he has the same beard, and he is missing teeth. That is very, very interesting. (reads comments) Everyone else is laughing at him and calling him stupid but it turns out he was actually right about everything. It’s crazy the level of accuracy this is.”
Shortly after, he uploaded his reaction to his clips channel on April 10, 2025, where it quickly amassed over 712,000 views in under 24 hours. His editor even added a playful note at the end, suggesting Netflix pursue a deal for further content featuring Asmongold.
Is Asmongold Officially Featured in Devil May Cry?
To clarify, Asmongold is not officially part of the Devil May Cry series. While many fans have drawn parallels between the streamer and a specific character, there has been no confirmation from the show’s producers regarding any direct connection. The character in question serves as a radio host who offers political commentary within the context of the storyline.
The particular episode Zack responded to includes a scene set in a news studio, where three characters discuss the escalating political tensions between America and Russia. The scene transitions to the radio host character as he critiques mainstream media, asserting:
“Loyal propagandists in the news media won’t even blame the Russians. How stupid do they think we are, folks? Hm? This was a strike against god himself carried out by sophisticated network of terr**ist demons from hell.”
Asmongold has also been vocal in his criticism of mainstream media, coincidentally having missing teeth in a similar area to the character. However, until there’s an official acknowledgment, all we can do is speculate on the similarities between the streamer and the animated role.
The Devil May Cry Netflix series incorporates various real-world themes, tackling subjects such as politics and refugees. Currently, it holds an average rating of 7.6 on IMDb, reflecting a solid reception from viewers.
Meanwhile, in a separate incident, Asmongold voiced concerns regarding Kick streamer Destiny, who reportedly made contentious remarks encouraging violence against Donald Trump. Zack expressed that such comments could potentially lead to significant consequences online.
