Eva is far stronger because she survived Sparda's massive 4th sword
Bro, you got me
She is Boundless
You’re going wild bro, I can see his power coming from inside you and this is no nut November by the way
Sparda: What kind of power is this?
Eva: YOU CANNOT KILL ME!! I AM OMEGA!!
it was the original devil bringer
I wish for a prequel of devil may cry where you play as sparda and see for yourself how powerful and badass he was in his days.
Maybe go into how he pissed off Beowulf too. Seriously tho, what happend with that guy before Vergil brutally split his head in two?
Probably could be dmc 6 either a prequel or something after the events of 5
Yeah me too but wouldn't that be so easy? I mean then you are Sparda so what could get wrong when you play as a GODLIKE demon?
DMC 0
@@a_saf1999isnt dante and vergil a godlike demon by themselves?
I know it will never happen but I really want a prequel with Sparda as the protagonist
It would be very interesting, especially seeing his interactions with the temen-ni-gru demons, like beowulf or nevan, because they seemingly had history with each other
I want a Devil May Cry sparda trilogy where his entire story is explained. How he became a god and how he became the savior of humanity, how he became a husband and father and finally what happened to him after eva died.
I think there was a dmc comic where Mundus ate a fruit the same one as Vergil
So Sparda was so strong he overthrew a guy with more power than him alone
That wasn't a comic that was confirmed in 5 but the before the nightmare DMC 5 novel confirms mundus had ate an incomplete version from what Vergil ate.
Just like how Dante did the same to Urizen/Vergil.
Well we have an example for that basically Dante vs Urizen ,you can see he completely rag-doll Urizen after he ate the fruit
I actually had a dream where Nero was sleeping and Sparda came to him in an astral plain. Sparda was very proud of his Grandson and called his demon form "A sight to behold" He then hugged his Grandson and gave Nero instructions on where to find him. I hope Nero does get to meet his Grandpa.
Bro what 😭😭
Damn....I wanna see that
This is great fanfic material
@@derrickdaniels3955 Aww thank you!
Aye that wouldn't be bad at all😂
Bonus lore: There is actually a script for DMC1 where dante meets sparda before his battle with mundus that was cut from the game.
You have a source on this. Id love to read about it
@@darkservantofheaventhe voice actor for Dante in dmc1 had a line talking to his father and his father talking back but that was cut for some reason
@@darkservantofheaventhis was confirmed from the voice actor in a zoom call I don’t know the videos name
@@Enver_445 Capcom needs to remake the first game, perhaps put this scene in a flash back from when Dante and Vergil were children. When Sparda was still around (maybe a shadow or a silhouette, but don't show his face.... maybe have him speaking another language or something
I always liked the idea that Spardas Devil trigger works the opposite to Dante and Virgil, where his devil trigger is more of a humanity trigger that turns him human so he can walk among humans because his devil trigger is technically his normal form.
I like this idea.
I always thought that sparda can change how he looks whenever he wants just like Trish.
@@Sjwleringaspcısı31
Canonically Dante, Vergil, and even Nero can transform at will, the magic meter is just for gameplay balance.
@@Rad-Dude63andathird I know that but what does that has to do with what I said?
I'm almost positive that Sparda lives in the main timeline (no not because reboot boy survived. We do not speak of... THAT Sparda...). Besides, Nero absolutely deserves to meet his gramps one day, though it might be odd for his wife to meet the person who her people worshiped as a God.
In the anime they said that he was still alive but we technically never had a straight answer
@@themotherfer9903it's said he just disappeared, but never confirmed if he's alive or dead. So it's likely he was kidnapped by someone. What demon could be powerful enough to catch THE Sparda, I don't know. But we do know it wasn't Mundus, since the only reason he attacked Eva, Dante, and Vergil is specifically because Sparda randomly disappeared
@lucifermagne7458 I know right I'm really hoping that the new DMC anime explorers and explained what really happens to Sparda
@@lucifermagne7458 I just assumed it was a full metal alchemist situation where he left and isn’t as strong as he used to be. Probably giving his kids most of his power
I’m more interested in Nero meeting him then Dante lol
Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I've always thought that the split of power between Sparda's three swords is in no way equal and that Yamato and Rebellion hold far less of Sparda's power than his actual sword. The main reason I say this is because Arkham is able to overwhelm Dante using the sword's power, despite not being able to control it fully. Another part of it is that I remember hearing somewhere that Rebellion and Yamato are Devil Arms he picked up throughout his life. I'm not sure if this is correct, but there are a few things I think back that up the theory they aren't his Devil Arms. First is that there's no Demon in the entire series who creates multiple devil arms from their powers. Second, the Sparda skin in DMC1 possesses Force Edge and Yamato, but not Rebellion (I know it's just the game, but DMC has good Gameplay-Story integration usually). Lastly, Sparda is known for using the sword that bears his name, not multiple swords.
I forgot about the file in 5 that explicitly states he made 3 blades (Thanks PainForYou), but I think the other points still stand.
Nah I definitely agree with the weapons not being even, if they were then Vergil would've most likely taken Rebellion with him and that would've given him more power then Force Edge with both Yamato and Rebellion
I don't think Yamato was picked up from someone else, it might've just been that Sparda as perhaps the most powerful demon we know was simply capable of dividing his power into multiple weapons and it's also the weapon he used to essentially kick off the series and seal off the demon world from the human world
As for where he got rebellion and why it's so valuable to him that he'd choose it as his gift for one of his children I honestly have no clue
It's confirmed in 5's note in Nico's Gallery about Sparda that he created 3 blades. Since we haven't heard of any others, it's not a stretch to assume that those other two blades are Yamato and Rebellion.
Sparda is a *swordsman* and with massive power at that. Devil Sword Sparda is HIS personal Devil Arm, Rebellion & Yamato were created from his *excessive power* as powerful tools for two purposes: Yamato to separate the two worlds; Rebellion to give humanity the power to "avenge" themselves against the demons trying to oppress them.
With that it's safe to assume, both sons of Sparda were given an *equal* important task by inheriting their swords, Vergil keeps the worlds separated, Dante protects and supports humanity's hope for resistence or "Rebellion" aka "Power of Vengeance".
@@solracstormhunter3023 you worded this amazingly, but I can't help but think on why Rebellion's ability is solely closed off to combining human and demon
I mean we haven't seen Dante do much with it but it kinda feels like one weapon has a gigantic limitation over the other one
you’re overthinking. Arkham from DMC3 is nowhere even close to Dante in DMC5
Like Hashirama from Naruto.....I still wonder HOW THE FUCK DID HE DIE IF HE DIED!!!!!!??????
True for both htf they died?
Old age i'd reckon, i think it also affected beowulf because he couldnt't regenerate his eyes despite being a devil, and with sparda's power in the demon world, time may have taken him.
@@fybson1068 He voluntarily sealed away his power because he feared it will corrupt him. He did this after his victory against Mundus and the Underworld. Had he kept his power, he would have grown vastly stronger in 2000 years pass.
i think hashirama just died in a random battle since his body couldnt handle the regeneration anymore (splitting the cells damages the chromosomes which can cause cancer if i remember correctly), it was explained somewhere, if i find it, ill send it here.
@@NahIdSword you are thinking of it like it was a real world case remember we are talking about a magic world when you can split even your body im thousend of clones uf that was the case even naruto would have a cancer like case
So who exactly is the most powerful guy in dmc lore? Is it the twins or Sparda?
I believe both twins together are more powerful than he is, but he's stronger than a singular twin
@@motivated106 But if Vergil and Dante both took power ups, like Vergil sucking up on human blood and qliphoth fruit imagine if Sparda took something like that 💀💀
@@motivated106Isn’t it stated in the notes of DMC 5 that Sin Devil Trigger Dante is stronger than Sparda? So wouldn’t that also make Vergil stronger than Sparda as well since he got his own Sin Devil Trigger after eating the fruit?
@@Hedron1027Potentially stronger. It's hard to scale anything because little is known on Sparda, and Capcom refuses to ever state if Dante or Vergil surpass Sparda. It's like a little running joke at this point.
@motivated106 it's stated numerous times that Dante surpassed Sparda. First in DMC2, then in DMC4. I think in 5 as well. Not to mention, Dante and Vergil are infinitely getting stronger due to their human and demon blood.
All demons have a devil trigger. The dmd difficulty dt game mechanic for enemy demons is canon in lore.
Which begs the question of whether or not any demon can achieve SDT
Yeah, DT is pretty much a Super Saiyan transformation for demons at this point, SDT being the God Super Saiyan equivalent.
@@billyboleson2830what do you think the demon king is? If anything that's literally a the SDT form of that demon but Sparda's and Eva's bloodline is so strong even a Normal DT of Dante and Vergil was already 3/4 close to rivaling and surpassing a Demon King's power.
That is dumb, devil trigger is literally them tapping into their half demonic side.
How is a pure demon gonna turn into a demon again? That flash that appears in dmd is just a demon gaining extra armor
@@ghostly_number they're not turning into a demon again genius that's simply them going on frenzied or berserk state thanks to the blood they already consumed. The appearance in of itself is not a defining factor to what you consider DT since fucking Nero in DMC4 proved that DT isn't about appearances but the boost in power and ability he didn't have self healing because of it's incomplete nature but it gave him better defense and offense, same goes for Dante and Vergil the appearance itself is just for show the real impact of DT is the healing and ability boost. Plus it's a Trigger hence the name they trigger their devil side via their human blood and that reveals their demon half and boost their ability, as for the enemies they trigger their demonic self into a frenzy due to the blood they've already consumed and boost their ability the term DT works both ways anyways.
It amazes me that even after all this time, CAPCOM STILLS has yet to make a DMC prequel where you play as THE Dark Knight Sparda himself, lol. Maybe we'll get it soon enough 😂
Sadly Capcom are going back to there early 2010 phase.
actually you forget that these guys dante and vergil are immensely powerful on their own, and human blood makes demons more powerful, so this would mean that they would be even stronger than sparda, and so they are currently far more poweerful than sparda is, this was even stated officially
All the power they wield is technically spartan bro.
The Yamato, rebellion, and soarda sword are all blades Sparta mastered.
Hes so op he fave em amulets as well to amp em.
@@mel-el5862 Your text is a mess.
Source ?
Lol no. Then Yamato, rebellion and the blade of sparda are all literally spardas powers that he had split and made into weapons for his sons to use. He could literally use the abilities of the Yamato etc without relying on a weapon to channel it
I mean, if you really wanna follow the joint Viewtiful Joe/Bayonetta/DMC timeline, then Sparta is so cool because Eva was an Umbran Witch who was Bayonetta level and they kicked all the ass together.
Spardas devil trigger…was his human form lol
Bang bang bang pull my human trigger
Human trigger 💀💀
This would be all well and good if it wasn't already canonised that dante surpassed sparda
When did the series say that?
Thanks for uploading this. Was waiting on your DMC content!
I would love a prequel where you get to play as Sparda. Think of it- having Rebellion, Yamato, AND Sparda as your base weapons? Man would be op af.
Sparda is the father I aspire to be.
nah, Sparda went to buy some milk and the whole DmC thing happened because of that.
Kratos is the father you'd want to be. A certified pantheon destroyer and only fears himself from being too strong.
@@wanderingbufoon buy kratos went on a depression.
@@wanderingbufoon That isn't canon and shoudn't be considered canon. Kratos's creator hates that change of Kratos. The entitled a**holes changed Kratos's character and personality without asking the author/creator about it. if you dont believe me or want the source just type in kratos creator hates new kratos in youtube's search bar
Sparda being a maxed out RuneScaper already makes him incredibly powerful
Im not ignoring that thumbnail 💀💀
Just waiting for Devil May 6 for him to return
Imagine a DMC prequel game, about Sparda
I’ve thought the same thing it needs to happen
@@CarzaTheEditor Some say it ruins the legend and mystique behind Sparda but I say fck that it's a video game not a movie.
@@stevenbishop1782 agreed
If I remeber correctly, Capcom confirmed a while back that when Dante and Vergil unlocked their Sin Devil Trigger they were stronger then their father, maybe even before they unlocked it too.
Yep it says in DMC4 that Dante surpassed Sparda. Vergil is of course on par with Dante and in DMC5 all 3 protagonists seemed pretty evenly matched. So they're all more powerful than Sparda.
We need a stand alone Sparda Title.. A prequel.. It's long overdue honestly.. DMC 1 will always hit different because its the only title to actually have a playable Sparda unlockable proper.. and the Statue of Time OST just slaps too.. Best not resident evil save room music ever..
We need a Sparda game
They should make a spinoff about a military/ mercenary team that hunts devils.
I wonder how Sparda got that powerful to begin with. Like if he was able to overthrow the king before he woke up to justice why wasn't he a king himself?
Embracing humanity
True, the Mother of Dante and Vergil gave him a new perspective or maybe he likes to piss of Mundus because Munduss enjoy killing humans for no reason
@@ardibetrayal3493 but sparda did that 2000 years ago. No way eva lived that long
they broke the time axis with sheer speed which puts them easily into the immeasurable speed category
And they are even much faster in DMC5
I did not expect tensura to show up
A suprise but a welcone one at that
I'd agree up until the 3 descendants because they succeeded where he failed. Until we get a sparda game we will never know just how powerful he was. But I do find it strange that he didn't completely end the demons he fought unless he just assumed one day his son would finish the job
Quality content, man. Great job.
DMC 6 should be about sparda as the MC and his backstory. How he become the general of mundus army, his rebellion against mundus and how he met eva.
When Dante charges Urizen with the Sparda sword, for a split second you can see he destroys the barrier because the Yamato shield shatters. Yamato and Rebellion aren't 1/3 of Sparda's power. The lion share of his power was sealed in the main sword. My theory is that Dante broke the shield but remnants of his father's soul is still in the sword. His father would not strike down and kill one of his own sons. That's my theory. Also, Urizen is getting pumped full of human blood at this stage. This is why he is able to beat Dante. It's stated in game that human blood amplifies demons powers. Explains why half of Vergil could beat a full Dante.
Dante and Vergil mother: Nah, i won
Something I find fascinating about DMC Sparda Lore, is that we learn that Sparda was actually more powerful than previously believed, because almost every game tells us how he nerfed himself. DMC1 showed us that Force Edge needed the two halves of the Perfect Amulet to create the sword Sparda. In DMC3 we learn that he removed a majority of his demonic power into his sword. And now we learn that he split his sword into three, meaning we still don’t know what his sword’s true form is, and even with all the nerfs, he’s still capable of taking on Demon Lords.
You can born snake but you can’t act like a snake .
And this is the perfect example of sparda a demon who defense the innocent and fight the devil .
Sparda probably has sin devil trigger it could ultimate devil trigger that dante has dmc 2 (probably left over power from dmc 1)
Great video man
I feel like he's always in his devil trigger form since he's a full demon
I never knew about the name giving demons power. Now “I am reclaimer of my name” makes much more sense.
Demon daddy sparda
I honestly hope we get a dmc game one day where we play as sparda
THIS IS SPARDA!
They should make a game where you either play as Sparda or where Sparda is the final boss
I want a devil may cry prequel with Sparta as the main character
Praying for a prequel
People forget that the yamato and rebellion are literally sparda abilities put into weapons meaning in his prime he probably couldve used dimension slash etc without needing a weapon to do so
This was literally my face when you mentioned the Speed Feats;
👁👄👁
Like whathafuq!? THEY ARE THAT FAST!!!!!???? NAAAANI!!!!!????
Oh yes. They are pretty fast.
Can it be assumed that summoned swords are something of a bloodline ability tied to Sparda's lineage?
Its basic demonic ability in DMC, its not exclusive to Sparda lineage
The shared moves among the Spardas are basically family inherited.
Sword Projections, Pyromancy, Teleportation, Flight, DT Explosion, Weapon Absorbtion...
Actually we have seen Sparta in the flesh and it's the dark Knight Sparta costume that you can unlock for Dante both throughout devil May cry 1 3 4 but sadly not five
“I shall surpass Sparda”
Sparda basically saved Hell from himself when he sealed all paths to Earth (the major ones).
Sparda is the devil trigger lol
THE REAL QUESTION IS WHERE TF IS SPARDA I WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO MY MANS 😭😭
I seriously wonder what Sparda would think if he could see Dante and Vergil now.
"What does it matter? We are here now, aren't we?" 😎⚔️😎
"Yeah, you're probably right"@@solracstormhunter3023
This video begs an even bigger question about Sparda: if he's that powerful, where the Underworld is he? A demon that strong doesn't just disappear.
Freki and Geri are the wolves that accompany Odin in Norse mythology
they should make a game about sparta with 4 parts
Imagine a sparda boss fight
But since vergil and dante are part human they possess a human soul which is a 9th dimensional thing sparda is full demon and wouldn't have it wouldn't that make them more powerful
Not exactly because remember Dante explains in novels and the anime that demons can have souls as well plus their existence is their soul and Demons can interact absorb and destroy human souls so they have 9D+ AP hax and other things
@@collinthesage7436 but i thought human souls in particular have the 9th dimension not every soul in the verse idk im so lost on this lore lol
@@derpyVfoxoX6 So it doesn't specify just human souls it just says the soul so it would mean any being who has it. Since Dante even says in the anime some demons are capable of obtaining a soul.
If Nero ever has a daughter, who’s strong like him, but more like her mother. What kind of power would this first female Sparda would have? I can tell that she would summon Yamato to her hand just like her father did in the 4th game. While also weirding the Devil Sword Dante for some assist. While her Devil Trigger form would be like her father’s mix with Kasumi’s Devil Form from Tekken 7.
I have a few concept sketches on that.
6:36 there is no speed limit on the highway to hell
I think Dante, Vergil, and Nero surpassed Sparda by the end of DMC5.
Before DMC5
Dante was stated that he surpassed Sparda in DMC 4 character bios (DMC 4 bios setting)
even before 5
Dante was already stated to be powerful than Sparda
Urizen bodied the roster because he was sitting on throne fromm qliphtoth tree
Which provided him with absurd amount of human blood and as human blood is complementary to demons it provided insane power boost to urizen
Be cool if dante and vergil in hell cane across maybe a vestige of spardas expltois or ran into old demons that fought with sparda
They've met many demons who faced Sparda
"if he so powerful then why did he die?" -- insert the simpsons meme -- xD hahahahahaha
So how is sparda stronger than dante and vergil? Are you saying that dante's power up with Devil Sword Dante means he has 2/3rds of spardas power?
I guess this would line up because vergil has the yamato + qliphoth fruit
So i guess my confusion is because i was under the impression that sparda had a fight with mundus that he almost lost, but due to his higher skill in combat and his willpower he managed a victory. This, plus dante always being compared to sparda in dmc 1 and then taking out argosax in base, i assumed he was at least on spardas level if not surpassed him at that point
Also with dante + the devil sword sparda not being enough to beat urizen, i kind of got the motif that sparda had been surpassed
Speaking of that, was urizen really only as strong as vergil was from dmc 3? If he hadn't gotten any other power ups? Im gonna rewatch that segment and see if i can answer my own questions
So for the who's stronger Dante would be, in the Lore Mundus was stated at full power to be a rival to Argosax (the blob form in DMC2) we know Sparda had struggled with Mundus when he was at full power Dante in DMC2 beats not only Argosax (blob form) but the Despair embodied (The orange Angelic looking form) with one shot solidifying Dante as the strongest of the sparda lineage at the time. As for the Urizen question he wasn't as strong as DMC3 Vergil it'd be more he was as strong as a weakened DMC1 Vergil before he ate the fruit.
I’d be dope if they have the next game revive sparta.
I thought he suppose to be a demon Gabriel. You know Gabriel with the sword that splits life and death, Sparda with the sword that splits the demon and human world?
Fun fact: Bolverk is an alias Odin uses
Sparda Prime is pure power and absolute destruction. While Vergil and Dante might only have just a bit less, they compensate with skill and the privilege of being "weaker", it compells growth in mind and heart, allowing them to be equal to Sparda or stronger. And then Nero almost equal to physical prowess, but not skill, not yet. But Nero can not really be quite equal simply because of the exception of their perfect SDT, also the legendary swords they have.
Nero could probably achieve a devil arm of his own and an SDT at some point. Also Sparda is definitely more skilled then Dante dudes straight up said to be the best swordsman ever
DMC spin off with the sons of Mundus? 😲😲
I'm waiting
When or where does it says that yamato and rebellion were part of the same sword?
Daddy Sparda
I want a prequel of devil May cry
I have a theory that sparda himself ate the fruit in order to fight mundus
Sparda has a human trigger lol
What's crazy is Sparta probably doesn't look like that, only bc he has the sword
Wasn’t Urizen also gaining power from the blood of the tree?
No one ever talks about how Eva was a witch just like Bayonetta...somebody please do that video!!!
Only if we had a dmc game starring him.. Smh
We can argue about Sparda getting surpassed by Dante after the third game(Mundus game is chronologically 3rd game). But By the time we reach Sin DT Dante, no, even prologue Urizen turns Mundus Argosax and Sparda into his minions.
Cute but it's only 2/3 of sparda power. He was so OP he played the game in pacifist mode. (Didn't even have to kill his former comrades)
Every character has different power ceiling so I wouldnt get too attached to the swords. You can think of a sword as a multiplier or flat increase in power, and for either of those you need high base power. Nero is 75% human and hes the strongest character in the verse, so the hybrid mutation also plays the part in total power. Sparda sealed his power in the swords. Dante had same base through the entire dmc 5 game, when he aquired DSDante, the flat increase or the multiplier got bigger, he went from 33% bonus to 66% bonus and that was enough to overpower post-fruit Urizen. Dante and Vergil were evenly matched before Nero showed up. Which means that Vergil getting his “humanity” back is bigger power multiplier than Yamato + Fruit, which are equal to Rebellion + Sparda merging into one sword. Nero who is 25% more human than his father and uncle stopped their full power swings with his bare hands. 25% more humanity outperforms DSD, Qlipoth Fruit, Yamato and SDT. Sorry for long reply, but I need you to understand that twins literally mutilate 100% Sparda and Nero can wipe him out of existance just by flapping his devil wings. Thanks 😮
Lets ignore my factual reply and go with your own narrative which is the real cuteness here. Sparda went through great lengths to seal underworld, no questions asked. But he also went out of his way to SEAL MUNDUS instead of outright killing him, which implies he wasnt strong enough to do so. You call it pacifist mode but he had to abuse mechanics to seal his opponents because he isnt strong enough. My bad, he wasnt strong enough cuz he gone. @@Loriddian
Dmc 3 then dmc then dmc 2 then dmc 4 then dmc 5 that's the order.
Bro you and the devil joe should do a collab
wait is this still valid? considering peak of combat is non canon, and even if it is, why is a human soul 9th dimension?
Another fact that devil sword sparda can cut space and time similar to yamato
Where did you read that?
@@alsimmonshellspawn6021 its from dmc memorial album precious tears page 179
No it can't. That's why Sparda literally used Yamato along with Force Edge/Sparda
Sparda dante,s father
Very interesting....
I believe sparda constant devil form is SDT already.
I wonder what the true sparda sword ▬▬ι═══════ﺤ
Really look like if it wasn't splitted to 3
Wtf 🤣
It wasn't split into 3. Sparda is his true sword. He made Yamato and Rebellion afterwards basically for the fun of it
Nope... Sparda really did split his power into 3 swords. If he didn't do it he would have result a heavy earthquake, thunderstorm, tidal waves he would doom earth. Because his power is a sin
Wouldn't vergil have gotten stronger due to nero imbuing the yamato with his devil bringers (his own power) and the power he got from absorbing the devil items into his devil bringer? Or does he not get those upgrades?
How hasnt capcom made a game about sparta only?
Dmc 6, they can make dante mastered sin devil trigger.
Why are speed feats so exciting?
I think next game Nero has dsd and yamato and Nero combined it so Nero has sdt and spardas full combined sword
They have to do a Devil May Cry prequel game about Sparda I'm just saying
Not stronge enough to pay child support confirm.
I believe that Dante alone has surpassed Sparda. He has his father's powers and his mother's heart. Nero might come second as he prevented Dante & Vergil from clashing into each other while they are in their SDT forms.
DT Nero slaps SDT Dante and its not even close. Even if you argue Dante and Vergil were tired from their fights, Vergil who ate the fruit and gained SDT couldnt comprehend Neros power, and mind you Dante and Vergil held nothing back when they went at each other in the cutscene
If the question is raw power, then at least Dante and Virgil have surpassed Sparda. The fruit gave Virgil a bigger power boost then absorbing Sparda did for Dante. Jury is out on Nero as while he can back hand Dante, Dante gets knocked around constantly. Him cracking a joke probably means he is no longer taking it seriously. Fighting Virgil is a good mark, but the question is if he maintains that power level, or it starts to normalize. Post final seems to indicate it goes down a bit.
I explained in my other comment that humanity plays big part in power of the characters, Vergil getting his humanity back is greater power increase than Urizen eating the fruit. Urizen got beaten by Dante, who is equal to Vergil in credit scene, while Nero is stronger than both of them, he stopped their full power swings. Also to rub it in, prologue Urizen turns Mundus, Argosax and Sparda into his minions.
@@aashas8553 I need citation for that last line.
I am not disagreeing with you. My point was Virgil got more power from the blood apple than Dante got from absorbing Sparda. Not that much of a surprise really. At the end of DMC 3 he was stronger than Virgil. In DMC he got a power up and in DMC 2 we see he kept it. Virgil had only gotten weaker over time.
Again the question with Nero is if he keeps that level of power. After that big mission his power goes down a bit and that is in the epilogue. No more infinite DT, infinite Regen, or a damage boost. At least he has his arm back.
I believe infinite DT was just a mission specific and only in the first playthrough so it holds no value thematically. Vergil was shocked at his power because hes only 25% demon while Dante and Vergil went thorugh multiple power-ups in the game and he stopped their full power swings with his bare hands. Dantes case is simple to follow, he lost to chair Urizen in prologue, after obtaining DSD and SDT he whooped Urizen pre and post fruit. By absorbing DSSparda, Dante managed to not only surpass Urizen that has been gathering power for a whole month while Dante was in coma, he also managed to beat him post-fruit. DSDante > Fruit Urizen. Vergil mirrors Dante. After getting his humanity back he closed the gap between SDT Dante and Fruit Urizen, also gaining SDT on his own which supports the claim about them mirroring one another. Nelo Vergil wasnt weak, he was corrupted. After getting rid of his nightmares he gained a mental amp aswell, it fits really. Basically Fruit+V is same multiplier/amp as Dante+DSSparda
