Vergil is the true main character. After all, DMC5 is about Vergil's brother, Vergil's son, and half of Vergil(with the help of Virgil's memories) going on a quest to beat up Vergil.
If you pay attention there’s a violin playing underneath it all. The classical music is still there. And even then metal is just piano notes on an electric guitar
The whole last battle is quite wholesome, like they just stop for a while to right demons and stuff. Like they now fight just for the fun of it or something.
One neat touch is that Vergil throws away his sheath when he runs forward to attack Mundus, something swordmen usually do when they know they would die. Vergil knew he would lose, but he's no weakling
Fighting philosophie of the trio: Vergil: I studied the blade my entire life, skill and speed are whats important Dante: I hunted demons for a living. Its all about versitility, but without fun and style you are just wasting your life. Nero: *Nero rip and tear! Nero smash!*
@@lonk_skonk it is. It’s obvious that V saw trish as Eva, just like Dante once did. That’s why he opened up to her. Trish set him straight just like she did to Dante, albeit less gentle, and I think that it gave V (and also Vergil) a little bit of closure
Most notable to me is the fact that Yamato splits things into two halves-Vergil’s human and demon halves, casting his humanity aside to achieve absolute power with his demon half; while Dante realizes that Rebellion brings things together, unlocking his true Sin Devil Trigger by merging Rebellion and Sparda. Dante brings his two halves together to achieve strength while Vergil splits them into two. This representing how Vergil views his human half as lesser than his demon side, while Dante embraces his humanity to strengthen himself. The two serve as foils to each other
you can only ever find TRUE M O T I V A T I O N to bring up the strength/power to protect anyone when you are capable of loving. Vergil eliminating his human half, or wanting to since the dawn of his MOTIVATION is ironically exactly the reason he never got that strength. I personally also think that vergil got the yamato so that when dante gets too careless and rash that he can split his demon away and seal it, or at least that this was Sparda´s idea. Considering Dante was always the rash, extroverted, impulsive one, its not too farfetched to think that Sparda was worried dante could end up as the "evil" one because of his impulsiveness. Whereas vergil always displayed a certain early maturity, so he was sparda´s failsafe. Dante on the other hand probably was given the rebellion because if vergil ever failed to protect and got beaten, dante could step in and bring vergil and his demon together to give him a second wind and also to hold his own, obviously.
@@yalovoyhznepomnyThere's a theory that Dante and Vergil are as powerful as they are because they're half-human; demons grow stronger by feeding on the blood of humans, so the idea is that their demon half is constantly feeding on their human half, making it stronger and stronger the older they get, with the demon being unable to fully devour the human half of them due to them being hybrids (rather than the fusions in DMC4). This would fit well into why Nero is as strong as he is, since he'd be roughly 1/4 demon, meaning that he would start out weaker, but grow stronger faster than either Vergil or Dante, because there is more human for his demon side to feed on.
Yup i noticed this too, when Vergil stabs Yamato on himself to separate his two halves, He actually turns his back to the family portrait, in the same mission that happens after this cutscene, when returning to his family house, Dante Stabs Rebellion on himself actually facing the Family's portrait. Shows How much different both brothers are.
Good observation! I noticed this as well, and I think a lot of it had to do with how Vergil felt abandoned by his family, Eva in particular. In the latest chapter of VoV, V even looks at Eva's portrait on Dante's desk and scoffs at it.
I always thought Vergil turned his back on the portrait because he was too shame what he was about to do. Also I didn't like that he thought Eva abandoned him . Prior DMC5, I thought Vergil was tried to save her and she was killed right in front of his eyes.
what i find interesting is how Vergil's nightmares personified actually cared about him. i mean these are horrible nightmares you would think if personified and give self awareness they would just want to continue to torment Vergil as is the very nature of a nightmare. instead they kill themselves off willingly to rid Vergil of themselves by using Dante as their noose. i don't know if this is explored or not because i don't read the manga or play the games.
@@dawnseeker176 The exact facet you are speaking of isn’t explored, kinda just given to us to glean from story aspects. That said the manga does go into the familiars as a whole. They, like V, are dying the moment they were born, unlike V they don’t have weeks to live, they have hours. The nightmares (well, 3 out of 4….) all joined V after he persuaded all of them, in various ways, and because he literally gave them life they come to love V. He increased their lifespan by about 7,000% and they were grateful for it. They wanted to live, this is made clear in the manga. Which is why it’s such a big deal they ended up caring about V so much that when they were freed, and now could live their own lives, that to spare Vergil further pain they “suicided by cop” with Dante.
I always viewed it more as a "vergils nightmares wanted to die because they plagued him for long enough and after having a `heart to heart` with vergils pure human side, just want him to finally be at peace". All three of his familiars knew they had no goddamn dice going up against dante, and they wouldn´t have had any reason to fight dante for vergil, since that wouldve robbed vergil of his own fight with dante. So, the only logical explanation would be that they wanted to be eliminated, for the sake of vergil.
@@sonofsparda657 I agree with this as that was my thoughts as well. It was the human side that allowed the nightmares to have a heart and feel sorry for Vergil. They had empathy for him and did not want to add to the pain that Vergil was already feeling. It was that pain that made Vergil what he is now and the nigthmares knew that Vergil needed to heal through his trauma. Vergil is clearly a very sensitive person and with the death of his mother, basically caused his soul to die. I think Vergil was hit harder than Dante from the death of the Sparta family and wanted to bring back that family by any means necessary which ended up corrupting and blinding him from the hurt he caused others. I can't think of a word to describe how emotionally sensitive Vergil is and not dealing with trauma in a healthy way can lead to dire consequences to yourself and those around you. Dante has his own trauma, but he doesn't fall to the levels that Vergil does. Vergil is much more relatable than Dante, which is why I think Vergil has a large fan base despite the horrible things he has done.
You ever stop to realize that Dante and Vergil's lives have been a long series of repeating patterns that only ended when Nero came into their lives? I mean think of it... It all begins when their lives are destroyed as children. Vergil feels abandoned by his mother and brother, but both feel the loss of their mother when she is taken from them. This is a moment that defines their lives. Devil May Cry 3, we see where it really sort of "pops." Vergil's first real defeat at the hands of Dante. Vergil, who up to this point had so much confidence. Vergil, who was currently wielding the Force Edge, the sword of his father. Vergil, who had just previously stomped Dante, was now defeated -- for perhaps the first time since his childhood, when he may have felt betrayed and abandoned by his brother and mother. And now, he was being betrayed again. This wasn't just humiliating for him, but it was as if he was reliving that night once more, when he was too weak to save anyone. And then, he threw himself into the Demon World, where he would become a slave. Devil May Cry 1, Vergil is defeated by Dante again, but this time, Dante is convinced he has killed his brother. For Dante, this is what he thinks is the final loss of his only remaining family. For the first time, Dante is truly alone. By Devil May Cry 2, Dante is less boastful, more calm and collected, almost seeming more similar to his brother in a lot of ways. Dante has become more serious and somber. Then Dante finds out he has a nephew in Devil May Cry 4. And we're back to the Dante we love, who cracks jokes, who plays with his enemies, and mocks them casually. And by the end of it, he gladly gives his nephew the Yamato -- why would Dante need a silly sword to remember his brother by when he has his son? Vergil however was not dead, and had been wandering the world for years. From Devil May Cry 1 up until before Devil May Cry 5, it's implied Vergil had fought losing battle after losing battle. Once strong and feared, he was not even a shadow of his former self. Every defeat for Vergil was reliving that night of his childhood all over again. In desperation - for survival, for power, or maybe revenge - Vergil tore his own son's arm off, not knowing Nero was his child, to reclaim his sword and split himself into two beings. And without realizing it, I think Vergil gave himself the means to grow that he needed so desperately. Urizen and V both represented different parts of Vergil. Whereas Urizen seemed almost single-minded in his desire for power, V seemed to make up the bulk of who Vergil was. For all intents and purposes, V *was* Vergil, without the single-minded rage and lust for power that Urizen represented, the drive for power that had always defined who Vergil was. V was nearly powerless. For the first time, Vergil, as V, understood what it meant to be truly, truly weak. But without his drive for power and his pride weighing him down, he was able to do something he never could have before -- seek the help of others. Not only of Dante, but also of the various demons born from his nightmares. During his time as V, Vergil learned how to rely on others. During his time as V, Vergil learned to let others help him carry his burden, as when he became too weak to carry on alone, he allowed Nero to help him stand. As V, Vergil learned to set his bitter anger aside and trust his brother. The demon half of Vergil, however, did not grow, did not learn. It was single-minded in its desire for power, its desire to defeat Dante. When it was defeated, it was confused; it had all the power it had ever wanted and still wasn't enough. It was no longer weighed down by Vergil's memories of his childhood, so all it had was an empty void that desired fulfillment. And when V stood over Urizen, all he saw was a monster that yearned for more power. Vergil watched a creature that had defined him for so long.... and he had seen it helpless to understand why it lost. For the first time, Vergil saw himself for who and what he truly was... and he felt true pity. So when V rejoined with his other half, became Vergil again? The man that came from that union was not the same man who disappeared when they were split apart. The Vergil before was desperate, was weak, was broken. The Vergil after was contemplative; the next time we see him he is pondering his choices, if things might have been different. The next time we see Vergil, he is fantasizing about if, in another life, he might have been the one protecting the human world from Dante. And, before he leaves after rejoining, he takes the time to thank Nero for his help -- not in a mocking tone, but in genuine thanks. For the first time, we see Vergil show gratitude to someone. In Devil May Cry 3, Vergil's allies couldn't expect to outlive their usefulness, let alone expect any level of legitimate gratitude. So when Vergil fights Dante, it's different than it had been when they were younger. In Devil May Cry 3 they fought because Dante stood in Vergil's way in his quest for power. Vergil had power now, his goal was accomplished. So, his fight with Dante? I think that was just as much a proving ground. For the first time, Vergil had doubts about his path. And I think, maybe, just maybe, his fight with Dante was to test his resolve, to ask a question; who is right? Nero's involvement, however, disrupted things. When Nero stood between him and Dante, it was no longer as the man who helped a dying V reach his destination, but as Vergil's own flesh and blood son. Vergil first surprised us by showing gratitude to Nero. Then, he makes the next surprising move for a man who has always been driven by combat -- he tries to make Nero stand down. Vergil, who had never backed away from a challenge before, had finally met the one opponent he did not wish to fight. For the first time, Vergil stays his hand and tries to discourage an enemy from a fight. Vergil's entire path up to this point was driven by loss, much like Dante. And, much like Dante, discovering family in Nero had changed that. But whereas Dante continued to form bonds, to make friends, to grow, was defined by so many of his experiences, Vergil had, up to that point, been almost singularly defined by loss, with his only true acquisition being power. For the first time, Vergil had gained something that he hadn't had in so long; family. And then Vergil does the next surprising thing and makes a proposal; if he defeats Nero, he wins a victory against Dante. This is an odd thing for Vergil, who up until that point had always been the honorable sort. Surely a man such as Vergil would not consider it a true victory unless he defeats his foe personally? But what's more surprising for me is that there is almost a sort of, for lack of a better word, "playfulness" to it. Vergil almost seems amused by the idea. And Dante, who had been worried about Nero's safety up until that point? He waves him off and says "I don't even care anymore." Dante wasn't concerned for Nero's safety. Maybe the backhand assured him Nero was able to hold his own. Or, maybe before the fight had even begun, Nero had already shifted the dynamic. Vergil's fight with Nero continued to beg the question of who was right between him and Dante, but it also added a new question; does it really matter? Is who's right decided by who lives and dies? What is truly gained? What is lost? Maybe I'm reading into this too much, but I think for Vergil, the fight with Nero was important. For Vergil's whole life, he had coveted the legacy of his father, to build a legacy of his own. Now, he had that -- and it was standing in his way. Vergil was now testing what was stronger; his resolve, or his legacy? Did he have the resolve to destroy the one thing he had truly contributed to the world? Or would his own legacy change him? When Nero defeated Vergil, it was the moment that Vergil finally let go. The feeling that Dante had fundamentally betrayed them as children. The feeling that power would make everything right. In that moment, Vergil was finally freed from all that weighed him down. So, when next we see him and Dante fighting in the demon world, they fight not to kill each other, but to entertain each other. For the first time, they fight not as enemies, but as brothers. Vergil had lost so much in his life, and no amount of power had ever filled the void. Through V, Vergil became more in touch with his humanity. Through Urizen, Vergi learned that a single-minded desire for power has never done him any good. And through Nero, maybe, just maybe, the void that had been left in his heart as a child when he lost his mother, had finally been filled. At long last, Vergil could finally move on from the wounds of the past, and for the first time, he chose to defend the future.
@@xavierbelmont8935 Heh I don't think he expected Vergil to actually show up again and Nero would have been better not knowing his father was a power hungry demon that Dante himself killed (or so he thought) and now the guy that Dante is going to kill yet again (or so he planned)
@@Igneeka if you're talking about devil May cry 3 Virgil was not a full demon he was like Dante only half demon and the other half was human. Virgil had the ability just like Dante to resist his demon side. But you still have should have been told sooner as Dante already thought him dead. Not only that but in devil May cry 5 Virgil shows that he's not all bad as he stops his own transformation from actually happening which would have caused more death and more chaos. So Virgil is not 100% bad.
This may sound silly or maybe even idiotic to people. But Vergil changed me as a person for the better. I held his character as an ideal who I looked up to. I followed his path of "All you need is yourself even when nobody is around to rely on and keep pushing for power." He actually motivated me. I went from homeless to having everything I ever wished for in life, became someone who I can be proud of. I may never be as cool as him but this motivation will stick with me forever.
It could’ve been possible that she was someone he fell in love with, but believed that his emotions would make him weak, so as soon as he gave in to his emotions, he later had to cut ties with her because he felt he was weak caring for her.
His VA also said that she was probably someone important to him, the song lyrics saying "secret love" doesn't help either. She is probably dead by now so another loss for him... :/
@@battlesister1559 Someone important to him doesn’t exclude the idea she was a prostitute, like a lot of people theorize (half out of joking) It’s just thinking, how could she have attracted his attention? My idea being he was naive and led to an initial, shall we say, misunderstanding 😅
@@battlesister1559 eh i feel like "secret love" more so refers to the brotherly love between dante and vergil which they both hide from each other cuz lets be honest they're both kinda terrible at conveying their emotions, but anyways this is reinforced by the fact that literally the next line is "bloodline yearns"
Dude. Why the hell is no one talking about this EDITING?! I'm just blown away by how well-edited this video is! This is honestly one of the best things I've watched recently
This is some shit he could include in a resume. His scripting is very well organised, his editing is absolutely spectacular, and his analysis is done extremely well as well. He does everything at such professional level that if he ever wanted to he'd definitely get hired by someone.
I absolutely love when Vergil says "where did you learn to count? We're even!" The way he says it with humor in the words, and a hint of a smile in his voice really shows how radically he has changed in 5. Such a cool guy!
@@cjvipinosa3328 Vergil is a famous Roman poet, at least as far as I remember. Both Dante and Vergil are characters from the Divine's Comedy, I'm assuming you didn't already know that.
@@larsnyman2455 she got nae nae’d while *looking* for Virgil. The whole point is she didn’t pick one over the other, she just hid the kid that was immediately on hand and then went hunting for the other one
Vision's of V imply he knows she was killed and came out to find him. Showing that its likely Vergil's drive for power came from the fact he couldn't protect his mother.
Holy shit. You made me realize something: the main theme, legacy isn't about Nero discovering his family legacy, it's about vergil discovering Nero *is* his legacy.
I’m pretty sure it’s actually about all the Sparda kids, the first time you hear it is with Dante, about to use his fathers sword that he gave him, to combine with his father’s sword that could have been either of theirs, immediately before you fight Vergil. It’s Trish’s gift to her entire progeny, including her grandchild. On a meta level, it’s also Capcom saying this is the Legacy of the Son’s of Sparda. Their story is complete. They won’t be the focal point any longer.
@@mikeclark7026 No way, they’re way too important for the franchise to dump quite yet. Fans need their mega size dose of fan service first lol. Maybe after one more game, might be enough, so long as they plug enough of said fan service in there. Or they can try doing a 3rd of that ‘Project X Zone’ series, if they plug better individuality into it (as much as the couple fan bits are fun, the game pretty much turned everyone into a ‘yes man’ or woman. Tends to be what happens with all cross over games that I’ve seen)
@@Norinia the Creator said that, the story of sparda Brothers Is done, they didn't they'll be gone It's just that the story might be focusing more On Nero.
With the whole Urizen asking Dante about his strength despite not losing anything, that's actually Vergil referring to when they're mom died trying to save both of them when they were kids. However, because she died before saving Vergil, Vergil felt that he lost to Dante on his mother's love. Vergil felt as if he lost the biggest thing to him. As Dante mentions at how he didn't know, but because he didn't know, Vergil always believed that he lost to Dante on the love of the most important person to him. To some, that can fuck with a person's head.
It dose, has, can be completely life aultering a motivationly killing of ones spirit to ones self goals and feelings of importance to the world as a whole
@@Omega-jg4oq Dante suggests that when a demon shows selflessness, becomes capable of love, or at least chooses to fight for something other than themselves and their own ambition, they can achieve even greater power. TL:DR Protecting someone or something you love is a greater motivation for getting power than getting power itself. which is why dante who only fought to protect humans always had a 1-up over Vergil who has done nothing but pursue power for power's sake
@@squeaky1963 Oh, so That's how Sparda got so much power and defeated Mendus and close The Door of Demon World, and that's why Akraham failed to control his powers and that's why Vergil losses to Dante even if he has Force Edge, and that's why Vergil married a woman but he clearly didn't know that he had a son, holy Shit! Everything makes sense now
@@Omega-jg4oq Well he didn't actually marry her. It was a prostitute. Nero's mom was a hooker. But still, it was a bit off from Vergil to actually get interested in a human being, and even impregnate her. Probably the biggest acomplishment he's ever made. Because, it was Nero that saved him, in the end. This time, he might've actually won, him and Dante were pretty much equal in that last fighting cutscene, and it wasn't very clear who would've won when they charged at each other. But Nero actually saved his humanity, helped him accept Dante(his brother), as well as his human side(his son), showed him what fighting for others is like. And even though Vergil "could still fight"(his words), he chose not to, he swallowed his pride and decided to do the right thing and help save the world.

Funny thing is, the PCSX2 emulator has fully widescreen FMVs (no letterboxing) and also looks miles better. They ruined characters' hair, messed up the contrast, colors and added a cheap texture sharpening filter that ruined Dante's teeth. The HD collection looks dry and pale as a result, and also lacks cool loading screen mini-games where you could shoot and slash the words "Now loading" (loading times were quite short). They also messed up DMC1. The game had an FPS bug on PC where the game would run too fast, butchered and removed some visual effects, same texture sharpening that affected skyboxes (which now have unnatural little dots all over them) and screwed up the music in the church before the first Phantom fight, along with some sound effects.

Funny thing is think, is sparda was still around. He would think that Dabtr is the better man. Dante, after the eventsnof DMC 3, understands that he is human but accepts that he is a demon Vergil, just cares about his demon side I love this series
@@eduardojara6955 Dante is worst.. if Vergil is the one that was saved and Dante was the one who was left behind, Vergil would actually be better than Dante at being the protagonist. Dante was selfish, immature, rash, and totally empathetic pre DMC3s. While Vergil had his objective straight from the very beginning. Vergil would try to find his family, get far stronger so that he could protect them, and actually try to convince Dante if he was evil. Dante didnt even care for Vergil even until dmc5. He does absolutely nothing until vergil showed up. while vergil still holds what happened to his family to heart. So no, Sparda actually make the right decision as to who he gave Yamato to. The mistake he made is that HE WASNT THERE when it all happened. when Vergil starts to chose power for vengeance above anything else. When Vergil got corrupted. When Vergil was lost. When Vergil thought the person that he love the most abandon him.
@@RhazOfRheos oh I completely agree with your point, I'm saying if he just saw them as they are now, not through out there life. Obviously Vergil would be a cooler MC than Dante (tho would be more serious) Also your point about Dante in DMC 3 is true, he was cool, but didn't care about anything. So yeah I agree, if they were switched on that day things would be different, even Vergil asks this "That day if our positions we're switched, would you have my life and I yours" But I'm just saying, if Sparda saw how Vergil and Dante are, I would say he would Accept Dante's point of view and not Vergil
@@eduardojara6955 What Im saying is that, Its entirely Spardas fault for how Vergil become who he was. So he doesnt have the RIGHT to say anything even if he is there now. For all the evil that Vergil has done, it is all on him for not being there when it mattered. Vergil could have been a great man.
@@RhazOfRheos too be fair to Sparda, we don't really know what happened to him, if he died or just left. For some reason they say he left, other say he just died.

Vergil's story always gave me such an Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader feel. Vergil always loved his family and his brother, he was just blinded by what happened to him. It wasn't until he realized that he had a son, who never gave up on him, did he realize what was important and turned back towards the light.

Vergil is the 1st born and he has a lot of pride, so probably has a chip on shoulder and Dante emulated that. 2 Dante, even though as a kid fought Vergil there was respect between the 2, and Dante tried to copy him But yeah Dante probably has specke of Vergil in him too
It didn’t help that V didn’t so much as look at a sandwich in his short life I mean he must be on the same diet plan as Dante from the cursed 2013 remake.
I think I finally understand one of the reasons why Nero was so adamant about the twins trying to kill each other. Dante had spent his whole life cultivating his humanity in the face of ever demon he fought and that made him powerful enough to take on anything he came across. Vergil did the opposite and it led to defeat after defeat. But when they both finally take the time to reflect Vergil in the form of V and Dante before he creates his devil sword they both come to the conclusion that one of them needs to die. And Nero helps them wake up from that stupid decision, and he says it outright in that there are ways for them to settle their differences instead of trying to murder each other whenever they see each other. That is a humanizing moment to see after all these years and all their experiences they try to fight each other as if their kids and it takes Nero's devil trigger to stop them, like a parent stopping children from fighting.
They were fighting because the writers made Vergil a little petty bitch who murdered more than an entire city of people for one last pissing match and Dante needed to stop him. Dante was completely justified in trying to kill the twice unleasher of the demon world upon humanity who also nearly killed his nephew, himself, and his friends.

Yeah, Vergil has always acknowledged Sparda (Demon) whilst Dante has always acknowledged Eva (human). Really shows which side of their blood they value most
And then Dante got his true power by accepting his demonic heritage through Rebellion and Vergil got it by accepting the humanity he was originally willing to throw away through V.
Vergil was blinded by pain all these years, drowned in the darkness and now he finally beginning to understand what really true power is. Thanks for the goosebumps! I love this video! 💙
I do think that Dante and Vergil’s personalities resemble those of Goku and Vegeta, respectively. Also their love of fighting and growing stronger; though those just may be Japanese tropes
Whenever I see the clip of Nero stopping the Sparda bois, all I hear is ValkeryieAurora shouting" *NEROOOOOOOOOO* , THATS 👏 MY 👏 FUCKIN 👏 SON 👏 RIGHT 👏 THERE 👏"
Vergil has always been my favorite! I love him so much. I also absolutely loved how you acknowledged how Vergil’s main drive was never truly power, but his trauma.
Power it's the measure of a man, strength it's a choice for what it's important, but how come anyone without Humanity ever understand that. -Dante Sparda
Your video is amazing and had be snorting in laughter many times. XD Wonderful observation on Vergil's use of words, particularly with 'family'. I always found it peculiar whenever Dante used 'my' mother and 'my' father, even when Vergil was present. It didn't strike me until now though that Vergil didn't do this. It further cements the idea Vergil really cherished his family, but his inability to cope with intense emotions and question his mother's love for him would become his own undoing. The fact Vergil HATES Dante as an adult further implies he's consumed BY emotions - emotions that drive him. Funny enough, once he gets rid of V, he loses that 'motivation' and ultimately loses to Dante even after he's consumed the fruit. About the only thing I differ on from your video is Vergil sleeping with a woman of the night. Given that Vergil is secretly a romantic (plays classical music, reads poetry, wanted to be 'protected', and is a very intense emotionally driven man), I think the woman he slept with had to be important to him and perhaps even 'special' in her own right. We still don't know the circumstances that made Nero an orphan (I personally suspect Nero's mother was in danger and felt Nero was safer under the Church's protection). However, we DO know Vergil is the type of guy who would sacrifice what's in front of him, including love, to pursue power (which goes back to your point about Vergil always looking at the future and not what's in front of him). And we also know Nero's devil trigger is unique. It takes on a celestial form unlike other devil triggers. Vergil himself does not recognize this kind of power. Even Dante has to wait until the Yamato reacts to confirm Nero is Vergil's son, implying Dante also questioned this devil power. Finally, I think Vergil was able to temporarily get back his 'body' after Dante defeated him as Nero Angelo in DMC1. We see Nero Angelo disappear in a bright blue light. Here's my theory. Like with other Devil bosses (Phantom, Griffon, etc) whose powers were given to them by Mundus, those powers were returned back to Mundus (which is why they evaporate in a cloud of energy). In Nero Angelo's case, though, he likely returned to Mundus but now in Vergil's original body. Having no more use of him and realizing he's close to death, Mundus cast him off, giving Vergil a chance to find the Yamato and save himself.

Tbh it's funny because Vergil actually RIPPED his son's arm off despite being weak af While Dante calls quits after one bitch slap from the deadweight 😂
@@qibcentricsplayground2043 Gotta keep in mind this wasn't dante's first fight, he had already gotten through the whole game, urizen show down, vergil show down 1 and 2. He's obviously gonna be exhausted from a Nero who has awakened his true devil trigger.
@@sandevastated1 yeah but wasn't vergil like absolutely weak after years of losing fights in hell or something? like we saw his skin flaking and stuff before he decided to use the yamato and sepukku to separate his demon form from human and despite that he ripped out nero's arm without any assistance or using anything to cut the arm off
@@qibcentricsplayground2043 Essentially, Vergil's body was breaking down, but so was his mental state. The trauma he had from being Nelo Angelo was partly the reason in his body breaking down too, even a crumbling Vergil is still stronger than a adolescents Nero with 1 arm and no devil trigger, so it makes sense. Also Nero was caught by surprise and warned Kyrie instead of trying to take down Vergil. So essentially, the fuse of V and Vergil restored Vergil whole as well as dispelling all his 'nightmares'.
When I first fought V's familiars in DMC5 I thought "oh come on, they just want another go at fighting Dante? Turned out so well last time". And then there was the cutscene : "the end of Vergil's nightmares". Big bird, big kitty, big... Ice cream monster? are best bois ;)
You see, this is pretty much a good sum of all the reasons why vergil is one of my favorite characters in my personal history of gaming. He's hurt, flawed, and I love how in the last game they gave him that chance for growth that I always hoped he'd get.
When you really think about Vergil’s character development in the story, he really has no need for a devil sword Vergil. He’s got all the power he needs.
Well there is also the fact that Vergil still has Yamato, and Dante straight up needed a new sword to do anything because his dickhead brother broke his old one and Sparda just wasn't going to cut it. (pun intended)
I think one of the reasons Vergil change his mind is because he realized he have a child. I think he intent not to make the same mistakes as his parents did. He said he helps Dante to cut the devil tree so it would not interfere with his business but I think what he really meant is that he doesn’t want Nero to live in a place infested by demons. It is suprising how much a person can change if they have a child or a pet (something to take care)
Wow! 29:37 -30:28 was the best edits in this video. I really respect that you really took the time too make the fight feel more badass with those edits.
The video was just right. Plus it needs to be this long to touch the core subjects of our favorite characters. To have that clarity of what we enjoy the most in our favorite games.
The most precious thing about DMC 5 to me personally was the Way Vergil honestly and happily smiled like a normal Human at the end of it. and of course how he roasted Dantes math skills lol

I just realised when Trish says "I'm not your mommy V" it is ironic because she looks exactly like V's mommy.
From Woolie vs DMC5:

@@TimeCircleBlue m-mutheer
Me too. I thought when Trish say that she just mock V. But i forgot that Trish has Eva's face
I always thought that was the whole reason she said it
@@lonk_skonk it is. It’s obvious that V saw trish as Eva, just like Dante once did. That’s why he opened up to her. Trish set him straight just like she did to Dante, albeit less gentle, and I think that it gave V (and also Vergil) a little bit of closure
Most notable to me is the fact that Yamato splits things into two halves-Vergil’s human and demon halves, casting his humanity aside to achieve absolute power with his demon half; while Dante realizes that Rebellion brings things together, unlocking his true Sin Devil Trigger by merging Rebellion and Sparda. Dante brings his two halves together to achieve strength while Vergil splits them into two. This representing how Vergil views his human half as lesser than his demon side, while Dante embraces his humanity to strengthen himself. The two serve as foils to each other
you can only ever find TRUE M O T I V A T I O N to bring up the strength/power to protect anyone when you are capable of loving. Vergil eliminating his human half, or wanting to since the dawn of his MOTIVATION is ironically exactly the reason he never got that strength. I personally also think that vergil got the yamato so that when dante gets too careless and rash that he can split his demon away and seal it, or at least that this was Sparda´s idea. Considering Dante was always the rash, extroverted, impulsive one, its not too farfetched to think that Sparda was worried dante could end up as the "evil" one because of his impulsiveness. Whereas vergil always displayed a certain early maturity, so he was sparda´s failsafe. Dante on the other hand probably was given the rebellion because if vergil ever failed to protect and got beaten, dante could step in and bring vergil and his demon together to give him a second wind and also to hold his own, obviously.
@@sonofsparda657
The funniest part is, _love_ is what brings things together. Exactly as Rebellion does.
But the strongest is Nero... Why? I don't know
@@yalovoyhznepomnyBecause he's a dead weight, that's why.
@@yalovoyhznepomnyThere's a theory that Dante and Vergil are as powerful as they are because they're half-human; demons grow stronger by feeding on the blood of humans, so the idea is that their demon half is constantly feeding on their human half, making it stronger and stronger the older they get, with the demon being unable to fully devour the human half of them due to them being hybrids (rather than the fusions in DMC4). This would fit well into why Nero is as strong as he is, since he'd be roughly 1/4 demon, meaning that he would start out weaker, but grow stronger faster than either Vergil or Dante, because there is more human for his demon side to feed on.

Welcome to the Sparda household
Yup i noticed this too, when Vergil stabs Yamato on himself to separate his two halves, He actually turns his back to the family portrait, in the same mission that happens after this cutscene, when returning to his family house, Dante Stabs Rebellion on himself actually facing the Family's portrait.
Shows How much different both brothers are.
Pretty good "show, don't tell" right there
@@KingJGrim Oh you notice Man lol, Happy New Year 😁😁
Good observation! I noticed this as well, and I think a lot of it had to do with how Vergil felt abandoned by his family, Eva in particular. In the latest chapter of VoV, V even looks at Eva's portrait on Dante's desk and scoffs at it.
@@strappingyoungladygmg Yup this is a detail that i didn't noticed lol
I always thought Vergil turned his back on the portrait because he was too shame what he was about to do. Also I didn't like that he thought Eva abandoned him . Prior DMC5, I thought Vergil was tried to save her and she was killed right in front of his eyes.
26:31 realizing that Dante in a way killed Vergil’s nightmares 🥺
what i find interesting is how Vergil's nightmares personified actually cared about him. i mean these are horrible nightmares you would think if personified and give self awareness they would just want to continue to torment Vergil as is the very nature of a nightmare. instead they kill themselves off willingly to rid Vergil of themselves by using Dante as their noose. i don't know if this is explored or not because i don't read the manga or play the games.
@@dawnseeker176
The exact facet you are speaking of isn’t explored, kinda just given to us to glean from story aspects. That said the manga does go into the familiars as a whole. They, like V, are dying the moment they were born, unlike V they don’t have weeks to live, they have hours. The nightmares (well, 3 out of 4….) all joined V after he persuaded all of them, in various ways, and because he literally gave them life they come to love V. He increased their lifespan by about 7,000% and they were grateful for it. They wanted to live, this is made clear in the manga. Which is why it’s such a big deal they ended up caring about V so much that when they were freed, and now could live their own lives, that to spare Vergil further pain they “suicided by cop” with Dante.
I always viewed it more as a "vergils nightmares wanted to die because they plagued him for long enough and after having a `heart to heart` with vergils pure human side, just want him to finally be at peace". All three of his familiars knew they had no goddamn dice going up against dante, and they wouldn´t have had any reason to fight dante for vergil, since that wouldve robbed vergil of his own fight with dante. So, the only logical explanation would be that they wanted to be eliminated, for the sake of vergil.
@@sonofsparda657 bruh, I never thought of it that way and I freakin love it!!
@@sonofsparda657 I agree with this as that was my thoughts as well. It was the human side that allowed the nightmares to have a heart and feel sorry for Vergil. They had empathy for him and did not want to add to the pain that Vergil was already feeling. It was that pain that made Vergil what he is now and the nigthmares knew that Vergil needed to heal through his trauma.
Vergil is clearly a very sensitive person and with the death of his mother, basically caused his soul to die. I think Vergil was hit harder than Dante from the death of the Sparta family and wanted to bring back that family by any means necessary which ended up corrupting and blinding him from the hurt he caused others. I can't think of a word to describe how emotionally sensitive Vergil is and not dealing with trauma in a healthy way can lead to dire consequences to yourself and those around you.
Dante has his own trauma, but he doesn't fall to the levels that Vergil does. Vergil is much more relatable than Dante, which is why I think Vergil has a large fan base despite the horrible things he has done.

Dante killed the familiars almost as a gift to his brother. To free him from that torment. That's a cool way to look at it
You ever stop to realize that Dante and Vergil's lives have been a long series of repeating patterns that only ended when Nero came into their lives? I mean think of it...
It all begins when their lives are destroyed as children. Vergil feels abandoned by his mother and brother, but both feel the loss of their mother when she is taken from them. This is a moment that defines their lives.
Devil May Cry 3, we see where it really sort of "pops." Vergil's first real defeat at the hands of Dante. Vergil, who up to this point had so much confidence. Vergil, who was currently wielding the Force Edge, the sword of his father. Vergil, who had just previously stomped Dante, was now defeated -- for perhaps the first time since his childhood, when he may have felt betrayed and abandoned by his brother and mother. And now, he was being betrayed again. This wasn't just humiliating for him, but it was as if he was reliving that night once more, when he was too weak to save anyone. And then, he threw himself into the Demon World, where he would become a slave.
Devil May Cry 1, Vergil is defeated by Dante again, but this time, Dante is convinced he has killed his brother. For Dante, this is what he thinks is the final loss of his only remaining family. For the first time, Dante is truly alone. By Devil May Cry 2, Dante is less boastful, more calm and collected, almost seeming more similar to his brother in a lot of ways. Dante has become more serious and somber.
Then Dante finds out he has a nephew in Devil May Cry 4. And we're back to the Dante we love, who cracks jokes, who plays with his enemies, and mocks them casually. And by the end of it, he gladly gives his nephew the Yamato -- why would Dante need a silly sword to remember his brother by when he has his son?
Vergil however was not dead, and had been wandering the world for years. From Devil May Cry 1 up until before Devil May Cry 5, it's implied Vergil had fought losing battle after losing battle. Once strong and feared, he was not even a shadow of his former self. Every defeat for Vergil was reliving that night of his childhood all over again. In desperation - for survival, for power, or maybe revenge - Vergil tore his own son's arm off, not knowing Nero was his child, to reclaim his sword and split himself into two beings.
And without realizing it, I think Vergil gave himself the means to grow that he needed so desperately. Urizen and V both represented different parts of Vergil. Whereas Urizen seemed almost single-minded in his desire for power, V seemed to make up the bulk of who Vergil was. For all intents and purposes, V *was* Vergil, without the single-minded rage and lust for power that Urizen represented, the drive for power that had always defined who Vergil was.
V was nearly powerless. For the first time, Vergil, as V, understood what it meant to be truly, truly weak. But without his drive for power and his pride weighing him down, he was able to do something he never could have before -- seek the help of others. Not only of Dante, but also of the various demons born from his nightmares. During his time as V, Vergil learned how to rely on others. During his time as V, Vergil learned to let others help him carry his burden, as when he became too weak to carry on alone, he allowed Nero to help him stand. As V, Vergil learned to set his bitter anger aside and trust his brother.
The demon half of Vergil, however, did not grow, did not learn. It was single-minded in its desire for power, its desire to defeat Dante. When it was defeated, it was confused; it had all the power it had ever wanted and still wasn't enough. It was no longer weighed down by Vergil's memories of his childhood, so all it had was an empty void that desired fulfillment.
And when V stood over Urizen, all he saw was a monster that yearned for more power. Vergil watched a creature that had defined him for so long.... and he had seen it helpless to understand why it lost. For the first time, Vergil saw himself for who and what he truly was... and he felt true pity.
So when V rejoined with his other half, became Vergil again? The man that came from that union was not the same man who disappeared when they were split apart. The Vergil before was desperate, was weak, was broken. The Vergil after was contemplative; the next time we see him he is pondering his choices, if things might have been different. The next time we see Vergil, he is fantasizing about if, in another life, he might have been the one protecting the human world from Dante. And, before he leaves after rejoining, he takes the time to thank Nero for his help -- not in a mocking tone, but in genuine thanks. For the first time, we see Vergil show gratitude to someone. In Devil May Cry 3, Vergil's allies couldn't expect to outlive their usefulness, let alone expect any level of legitimate gratitude.
So when Vergil fights Dante, it's different than it had been when they were younger. In Devil May Cry 3 they fought because Dante stood in Vergil's way in his quest for power. Vergil had power now, his goal was accomplished. So, his fight with Dante? I think that was just as much a proving ground. For the first time, Vergil had doubts about his path. And I think, maybe, just maybe, his fight with Dante was to test his resolve, to ask a question; who is right?
Nero's involvement, however, disrupted things. When Nero stood between him and Dante, it was no longer as the man who helped a dying V reach his destination, but as Vergil's own flesh and blood son. Vergil first surprised us by showing gratitude to Nero. Then, he makes the next surprising move for a man who has always been driven by combat -- he tries to make Nero stand down.
Vergil, who had never backed away from a challenge before, had finally met the one opponent he did not wish to fight. For the first time, Vergil stays his hand and tries to discourage an enemy from a fight.
Vergil's entire path up to this point was driven by loss, much like Dante. And, much like Dante, discovering family in Nero had changed that. But whereas Dante continued to form bonds, to make friends, to grow, was defined by so many of his experiences, Vergil had, up to that point, been almost singularly defined by loss, with his only true acquisition being power. For the first time, Vergil had gained something that he hadn't had in so long; family.
And then Vergil does the next surprising thing and makes a proposal; if he defeats Nero, he wins a victory against Dante. This is an odd thing for Vergil, who up until that point had always been the honorable sort. Surely a man such as Vergil would not consider it a true victory unless he defeats his foe personally? But what's more surprising for me is that there is almost a sort of, for lack of a better word, "playfulness" to it. Vergil almost seems amused by the idea. And Dante, who had been worried about Nero's safety up until that point? He waves him off and says "I don't even care anymore." Dante wasn't concerned for Nero's safety. Maybe the backhand assured him Nero was able to hold his own. Or, maybe before the fight had even begun, Nero had already shifted the dynamic.
Vergil's fight with Nero continued to beg the question of who was right between him and Dante, but it also added a new question; does it really matter? Is who's right decided by who lives and dies? What is truly gained? What is lost? Maybe I'm reading into this too much, but I think for Vergil, the fight with Nero was important. For Vergil's whole life, he had coveted the legacy of his father, to build a legacy of his own. Now, he had that -- and it was standing in his way. Vergil was now testing what was stronger; his resolve, or his legacy? Did he have the resolve to destroy the one thing he had truly contributed to the world? Or would his own legacy change him?
When Nero defeated Vergil, it was the moment that Vergil finally let go. The feeling that Dante had fundamentally betrayed them as children. The feeling that power would make everything right. In that moment, Vergil was finally freed from all that weighed him down.
So, when next we see him and Dante fighting in the demon world, they fight not to kill each other, but to entertain each other. For the first time, they fight not as enemies, but as brothers. Vergil had lost so much in his life, and no amount of power had ever filled the void. Through V, Vergil became more in touch with his humanity. Through Urizen, Vergi learned that a single-minded desire for power has never done him any good. And through Nero, maybe, just maybe, the void that had been left in his heart as a child when he lost his mother, had finally been filled.
At long last, Vergil could finally move on from the wounds of the past, and for the first time, he chose to defend the future.

In the end him splitting himself off from his human side was the best thing he couldve done
I like the concept for the V character, it's like Vergil had the "soul of a poet". Clever.
IKR !!!! 💯🌟👏🏼
I guess... So it is written?
Well Vergil did have a hobby for poetry lol
He has his collection of William Blake poems
@@cjvipinosa3328 Vergil is a famous Roman poet, at least as far as I remember. Both Dante and Vergil are characters from the Divine's Comedy, I'm assuming you didn't already know that.

Vision's of V imply he knows she was killed and came out to find him. Showing that its likely Vergil's drive for power came from the fact he couldn't protect his mother.

@@rialyandriamiseza9814 good one lol I was laughing so hard
Holy shit. You made me realize something:
the main theme, legacy isn't about Nero discovering his family legacy, it's about vergil discovering Nero *is* his legacy.
I’m pretty sure it’s actually about all the Sparda kids, the first time you hear it is with Dante, about to use his fathers sword that he gave him, to combine with his father’s sword that could have been either of theirs, immediately before you fight Vergil. It’s Trish’s gift to her entire progeny, including her grandchild. On a meta level, it’s also Capcom saying this is the Legacy of the Son’s of Sparda. Their story is complete. They won’t be the focal point any longer.
@@mikeclark7026 No way, they’re way too important for the franchise to dump quite yet. Fans need their mega size dose of fan service first lol.
Maybe after one more game, might be enough, so long as they plug enough of said fan service in there.
Or they can try doing a 3rd of that ‘Project X Zone’ series, if they plug better individuality into it (as much as the couple fan bits are fun, the game pretty much turned everyone into a ‘yes man’ or woman. Tends to be what happens with all cross over games that I’ve seen)
@@Norinia the Creator said that, the story of sparda Brothers Is done, they didn't they'll be gone It's just that the story might be focusing more On Nero.
With the whole Urizen asking Dante about his strength despite not losing anything, that's actually Vergil referring to when they're mom died trying to save both of them when they were kids. However, because she died before saving Vergil, Vergil felt that he lost to Dante on his mother's love. Vergil felt as if he lost the biggest thing to him. As Dante mentions at how he didn't know, but because he didn't know, Vergil always believed that he lost to Dante on the love of the most important person to him. To some, that can fuck with a person's head.
It dose, has, can be completely life aultering a motivationly killing of ones spirit to ones self goals and feelings of importance to the world as a whole
In the end vergil realize that his humanity is what made him strong
It took a few games but he understood by the end
Well, that's strange cause humanity is weak and easy to die, how is that makes sense? I know it's balanced for him, but still, how??
@@Omega-jg4oq Dante suggests that when a demon shows selflessness, becomes capable of love, or at least chooses to fight for something other than themselves and their own ambition, they can achieve even greater power.
TL:DR Protecting someone or something you love is a greater motivation for getting power than getting power itself. which is why dante who only fought to protect humans always had a 1-up over Vergil who has done nothing but pursue power for power's sake
@@squeaky1963 Oh, so That's how Sparda got so much power and defeated Mendus and close The Door of Demon World, and that's why Akraham failed to control his powers and that's why Vergil losses to Dante even if he has Force Edge, and that's why Vergil married a woman but he clearly didn't know that he had a son, holy Shit! Everything makes sense now
@@Omega-jg4oq Well he didn't actually marry her. It was a prostitute.
Nero's mom was a hooker. But still, it was a bit off from Vergil to actually get interested in a human being, and even impregnate her. Probably the biggest acomplishment he's ever made.
Because, it was Nero that saved him, in the end. This time, he might've actually won, him and Dante were pretty much equal in that last fighting cutscene, and it wasn't very clear who would've won when they charged at each other.
But Nero actually saved his humanity, helped him accept Dante(his brother), as well as his human side(his son), showed him what fighting for others is like. And even though Vergil "could still fight"(his words), he chose not to, he swallowed his pride and decided to do the right thing and help save the world.

They also messed up DMC1. The game had an FPS bug on PC where the game would run too fast, butchered and removed some visual effects, same texture sharpening that affected skyboxes (which now have unnatural little dots all over them) and screwed up the music in the church before the first Phantom fight, along with some sound effects.

It might just be that his "style" is just completely against my "flow" but Dante, V, and VERGIL, are all so much fun to play and i get a real good flow going but as soon as one stage forces me to play nero i display about as much style as a fish out of water.

Sparda: i am gonna give my eldest son the key that keeps the human world and demon world separate.
May he continue the legacy of Protector of the Human realm.
Vergil: this man's career.....
Funny thing is think, is sparda was still around. He would think that Dabtr is the better man.
Dante, after the eventsnof DMC 3, understands that he is human but accepts that he is a demon
Vergil, just cares about his demon side
I love this series
@@eduardojara6955 Dante is worst.. if Vergil is the one that was saved and Dante was the one who was left behind, Vergil would actually be better than Dante at being the protagonist. Dante was selfish, immature, rash, and totally empathetic pre DMC3s. While Vergil had his objective straight from the very beginning.
Vergil would try to find his family, get far stronger so that he could protect them, and actually try to convince Dante if he was evil. Dante didnt even care for Vergil even until dmc5. He does absolutely nothing until vergil showed up. while vergil still holds what happened to his family to heart.
So no, Sparda actually make the right decision as to who he gave Yamato to. The mistake he made is that HE WASNT THERE when it all happened. when Vergil starts to chose power for vengeance above anything else. When Vergil got corrupted. When Vergil was lost. When Vergil thought the person that he love the most abandon him.
@@RhazOfRheos oh I completely agree with your point, I'm saying if he just saw them as they are now, not through out there life.
Obviously Vergil would be a cooler MC than Dante (tho would be more serious)
Also your point about Dante in DMC 3 is true, he was cool, but didn't care about anything.
So yeah I agree, if they were switched on that day things would be different, even Vergil asks this
"That day if our positions we're switched, would you have my life and I yours"
But I'm just saying, if Sparda saw how Vergil and Dante are, I would say he would Accept Dante's point of view and not Vergil
@@eduardojara6955 What Im saying is that, Its entirely Spardas fault for how Vergil become who he was. So he doesnt have the RIGHT to say anything even if he is there now. For all the evil that Vergil has done, it is all on him for not being there when it mattered. Vergil could have been a great man.
@@RhazOfRheos too be fair to Sparda, we don't really know what happened to him, if he died or just left.
For some reason they say he left, other say he just died.
Also it's not entirely his fault a lot of things were out of Spardas hands, Vergil was very straight forward, competitive with his little brother and was always serious
"Look at you... making a big dramatic entrance and stealing my attention."
King J. Grim: "Well...you dont possibly believe that he (points at Mad Combo Video) deserves to be our main Event now do you?"
"Now that you mention it, youre right."
Vergil's story always gave me such an Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader feel. Vergil always loved his family and his brother, he was just blinded by what happened to him. It wasn't until he realized that he had a son, who never gave up on him, did he realize what was important and turned back towards the light.

Indeed.
It didn’t help that V didn’t so much as look at a sandwich in his short life I mean he must be on the same diet plan as Dante from the cursed 2013 remake.

I think I finally understand one of the reasons why Nero was so adamant about the twins trying to kill each other. Dante had spent his whole life cultivating his humanity in the face of ever demon he fought and that made him powerful enough to take on anything he came across. Vergil did the opposite and it led to defeat after defeat. But when they both finally take the time to reflect Vergil in the form of V and Dante before he creates his devil sword they both come to the conclusion that one of them needs to die. And Nero helps them wake up from that stupid decision, and he says it outright in that there are ways for them to settle their differences instead of trying to murder each other whenever they see each other. That is a humanizing moment to see after all these years and all their experiences they try to fight each other as if their kids and it takes Nero's devil trigger to stop them, like a parent stopping children from fighting.
They were fighting because the writers made Vergil a little petty bitch who murdered more than an entire city of people for one last pissing match and Dante needed to stop him. Dante was completely justified in trying to kill the twice unleasher of the demon world upon humanity who also nearly killed his nephew, himself, and his friends.

Really shows which side of their blood they value most
Eva didn’t save him so he’s giving Sparda a shot
Both of them got into their ultimate form when they accepted the other side
True. :)
And then Dante got his true power by accepting his demonic heritage through Rebellion and Vergil got it by accepting the humanity he was originally willing to throw away through V.
To be fair, Dante also embraces Sparda's HUMANITY, he was not a human by nature, but he had HUMANITY.
The editing during the Dante/Vergil and Vergil/Nero fights was amazing
Vergil was blinded by pain all these years, drowned in the darkness and now he finally beginning to understand what really true power is.

28:04 I really love that sequences. "What would you know about family... you're a demon" felt so anime like and it's amazingly done well here
Your video is amazing and had be snorting in laughter many times. XD Wonderful observation on Vergil's use of words, particularly with 'family'. I always found it peculiar whenever Dante used 'my' mother and 'my' father, even when Vergil was present. It didn't strike me until now though that Vergil didn't do this. It further cements the idea Vergil really cherished his family, but his inability to cope with intense emotions and question his mother's love for him would become his own undoing. The fact Vergil HATES Dante as an adult further implies he's consumed BY emotions - emotions that drive him. Funny enough, once he gets rid of V, he loses that 'motivation' and ultimately loses to Dante even after he's consumed the fruit.
About the only thing I differ on from your video is Vergil sleeping with a woman of the night. Given that Vergil is secretly a romantic (plays classical music, reads poetry, wanted to be 'protected', and is a very intense emotionally driven man), I think the woman he slept with had to be important to him and perhaps even 'special' in her own right. We still don't know the circumstances that made Nero an orphan (I personally suspect Nero's mother was in danger and felt Nero was safer under the Church's protection). However, we DO know Vergil is the type of guy who would sacrifice what's in front of him, including love, to pursue power (which goes back to your point about Vergil always looking at the future and not what's in front of him). And we also know Nero's devil trigger is unique. It takes on a celestial form unlike other devil triggers. Vergil himself does not recognize this kind of power. Even Dante has to wait until the Yamato reacts to confirm Nero is Vergil's son, implying Dante also questioned this devil power.
Finally, I think Vergil was able to temporarily get back his 'body' after Dante defeated him as Nero Angelo in DMC1. We see Nero Angelo disappear in a bright blue light. Here's my theory. Like with other Devil bosses (Phantom, Griffon, etc) whose powers were given to them by Mundus, those powers were returned back to Mundus (which is why they evaporate in a cloud of energy). In Nero Angelo's case, though, he likely returned to Mundus but now in Vergil's original body. Having no more use of him and realizing he's close to death, Mundus cast him off, giving Vergil a chance to find the Yamato and save himself.

@@qibcentricsplayground2043 Essentially, Vergil's body was breaking down, but so was his mental state. The trauma he had from being Nelo Angelo was partly the reason in his body breaking down too, even a crumbling Vergil is still stronger than a adolescents Nero with 1 arm and no devil trigger, so it makes sense.
Also Nero was caught by surprise and warned Kyrie instead of trying to take down Vergil. So essentially, the fuse of V and Vergil restored Vergil whole as well as dispelling all his 'nightmares'.

When you really think about Vergil’s character development in the story, he really has no need for a devil sword Vergil.
He’s got all the power he needs.
Well there is also the fact that Vergil still has Yamato, and Dante straight up needed a new sword to do anything because his dickhead brother broke his old one and Sparda just wasn't going to cut it. (pun intended)
Dude yamato is still OP. why would he need a more powered up sword.
Devil Sword Vergil will only come about IF Vergil somehow perishes. He’ll fuse with Yamato somehow. That’s where my money is at

He said he helps Dante to cut the devil tree so it would not interfere with his business but I think what he really meant is that he doesn’t want Nero to live in a place infested by demons.
It is suprising how much a person can change if they have a child or a pet (something to take care)
Y E S, we finally got it and it was absolutely worth the wait! You keep on improving and getting better Grimmy boi! You truly are, M O T I V A T I N G

27:07 "What form of editing is this?"
Motivated?
something that never gets old. grims intros :3
Wow! 29:37 -30:28 was the best edits in this video. I really respect that you really took the time too make the fight feel more badass with those edits.
So I'm very late to this comment since I only knew about DMC 5 now, but what's the song used for that part of the video?
Inside the mind of virgil:
50% Power
50% Motivation
100% The storm that is approaching.
With those combined, he is 200% avoiding child support
And 300% cool, emotional, strong, best character ever.
The video was just right. Plus it needs to be this long to touch the core subjects of our favorite characters. To have that clarity of what we enjoy the most in our favorite games.
The most precious thing about DMC 5 to me personally was the Way Vergil honestly and happily smiled like a normal Human at the end of it. and of course how he roasted Dantes math skills lol
Truly just good 'ol sibling rivalry, love/relationship but mainly secret love

"And when that apple is eaten,the greatest power of all demons will be earned-"
Me: *TAX EVASION*
Child support evasion.
24:31 Vergil: “Now I’m..” *wipes tear and starts sobbing* “motivated..”
