Instances of demonic control are everywhere but are most pronounced when the city itself tries to kill Dante, which so far has only been seen from within the dimension of Limbo. The city has the power to smash walls together, close alleys, tilt the ground and tear up streets, leaving bottomless pits. It also spawns enemies to kill Dante like white blood cells.
