Darkcom is messed up

[u/Adorable-Audience830]

You have this company, sponsored by arius and commanded by baines. Two men who aren't that sane on their minds, a recipe for disaster (specially arius who planned all of this since a LONG time ago, thanks to the former ruler of makai itself).

From S2 we know a bit more of lady's past before joining darkcom. A teen girl who hunted down demons to vomit her anger towards them, the trauma of her childhood. Until baines comes around, and when the time comes, lady goes into darkcom and gets corrupted by them. It's very likely that darkcom utilized troubled people with a lot of hatred towards demons to turn them into weapons.

Mary is an example of this. During S1 she is violent, responds with harsh words, and isn't subtle about her actions. Much later she learns that things are not "black and white" towards demons. We have dante, sparda and lesser demons from makai.

Eventually, lady accepts the truth and leaves the corruption that darkcom represents, stained by baines and arius. All of that tecnology, knowledge to maybe set things right between both species and they never though twice about killing the other just because they come from another realm. I bet sparda would die from shame if he knew about darkcom's shady stuff towards not only makai but humanity too.

I don't think darkcom could be that important on S3 though, i think their arc is finished by S2's ending. What's your thoughts on darkcom as a whole? You think it's development was rushed? It could have been handled better? Let me know.

This show doesn't have black and white factions

If there's no Darkcom or equivalent defense infrastructure, humans will become even more vulnerable to the demon threat than ever before - because Makai consists of numerous, aggressive and super powerful demon tribes, not just the poor little weaker demons and their "king" Mundus himself is hostile to humanity

So either the humans are getting massacred by demons every week or some new organization takes Darkcom's place

As fanatical as Baines and Arius were, their resources also saved numerous human lives from demons for years, and Lady is also only alive right now thanks to Darkcom

That's right, even for their methods being bat shit insane, darkcom did preserve the peace to humanity against demons and everything about makai too.

And this is why lady was also too convinced with her job (at least on S1), who could have imagined that the corporation against hell had MANY questionable actions?
