Dmc5:
The story where Vergil hires Vergil's brother and Vergil's son to defeat Vergil so that Vergil can become Vergil

[firetarrasque]

I still can't get over the fact that Nero's first ever interaction with his father was having Virgil *steal his entire arm*

[n]

Two years and Nero screaming “I’m not letting you die” brings a tear to my eye

[Sora-enib]

when you know the entire lore but still watch a 2 hour video cause you love the series

[eternityepilogue]

It's really sad when you realize why dante is broke all the time isn't because of pizzas or strawberry sundaes but because he's still putting money in the bank account for grue's daughters.

[jorgecabrera]

DMC 5 can be best described as a family therapy session that the world got involved with. Between Vegril and Vergil, Vergil and Dante, Vergil and Nero, and Dante and Nero, with the world being the office

[cashordeals]

Hearing vergil say jackpot in dmc5 and immediately regretting it is amazing 🤣

[mrworldwide]

Something interesting I noticed:
At the end of Devil May Cry 3, where Vergil unsheathes his Yamato to fight Mundus, he throws said sheath to the side, traditionally, discarding your sheath was seen as disrespectful towards the katana and it's craftsman and was only ever done if the swordsman doesn't intend on sheathing the sword again (i.e. they expect to die)

[pierrelindgren]

A shame V never had a chance to join in on Agnus and Dante's poetry death battle.

[djenime]

Fun fact. Dante's first fight with Urizen, actually lasted for 24 hours. And then he still managed to have round 2, giving Nero and V chance to escape

[abdelali]

I know some people find weird Vergil's change of heart at the end of DMC V because the game is a bit cryptic about what V really is and does, but seeing all his growth in the manga you can really understand why Vergil changes his outlook in life, he really saw humanity down, but now just like his brother and father sees them as equals and by also accepting that he was in need of not only power, but to rely on others, like his brother and son by also finally putting an end to the trauma of the loss of his mother, yeah it may have taken supplementary media to fully understand everything but I still feel very satisfied with Vergil and his little plot to get a character arc by "doing absolutely nothing".

[SuperVergil_POC]

Still sad to know that Vergil thought he was left for dead by his brother and mother but his mother died trying to find him and Dante only ran because he had assumed his brother died along with his mother

[lamixsen]

This was really good I feel like you could have gotten into a little more detail about the sparda apprentices twins.

Also how Dante was NOT ONLY saved by the sword sparda Dante was spared by the Qliphoth because he was Vergil's twin brother. The Qliphoth mistaken him as Urizen so it also created a "throne" for Dante to rest on and healed him for that month.

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

I really wish they made like a DMC game about Sparda and the whole origin of his story

[vykespearbum]

I like how Nero reassembling the Yamato was basically just like Vergil summoning the Yamato back then. Stabbed by demon's, nearly dies and saying power. Like father like child.

[cillbipher]

Fun fact for everyone in the comments: The first battle between Dante and Urizen didn't just last for hours.

It lasted for twenty four hours.

Dante and Urizen went at it for an entire day before Nero even showed up.

[charlottemyates]

It's poetic that the brother Vergil has been fighting all these years is the one to kill his nightmares. After all Vergil wants love and acceptance and Dante was fully ready to give him that when they met again.

[guts]

Vergil: “You don’t own an air fryer?!” _fucking kills you_

Lady: “Hey everyone, this guy doesn’t own an air fryer!”

Trish: “Bro tf is an air fryer?”

Nero: “Clearly you don’t own an air fryer”

Dante: _gives you one of his many MANY spare air fryers from his closet_

[Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

A series that can summarized with the phrase: "If you want it, then you'll have to take it. But you already knew that."
And it took me way too long to realize that the reason why Dante, Vergil, and Nero are so strong being part human is because Red Orbs are condensed human blood which powers up demons. And those three have human blood constantly mingling with their demon blood

[notabot]

For anyone who doesn't know. It is speculated that Dante was extremely depressed during the events of the anime and the second game due to him having to beat his brother again and thinking he actually killed him. He blamed himself for letting Vergil go in the events of the third game and had lost his reason to live. He had no family left and he also had taken revenge against the destroyer of his family. This explains why he might have lost a lot of character and his usual cocky attitude in 2 and the anime to a certain extent.
