Netflix misspells the name of Devil May Cry antagonist Vergil on a t-shirt, and it's honestly one of the more understandable typos they could've made

The Devil May Cry animated series has done halfway decently for itself, renewing for a second season after its release back in April. And despite some mixed reception—particularly from diehard fans—Netflix seems to be chalking it up to a success. So much so that it's making merch for it.

Alas, there's been a blunder—as spotted by DMC superfan @vergildearest on X (thanks, Eurogamer), a now-removed t-shirt sees Dante and Vergil split clean down the middle. Only it's apparently not Vergil, but Virgil. Or Publius Vergilius Maro, an ancient roman poet and guest star in Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, whose name is sometimes spelled Virgil.

Either way, it's been pulled off the Devil May Cry merch store. You can still buy other stuff, though, like a baseball cap that says "see u in hell" and a thermos where Virgil—crap, sorry, Vergil—glares at you the entire time you're sipping your hot chocolate. Clearly, there's only one thing Netflix can do now. Re-release the shirt with Vergilius' full roman name clipping horribly outside the box of the graphic. I know what the fans want.
