The plane dropping through the ceiling is a payoff for it being on display in the castle during the very first mission. Understandable that it seems a bit like a "machina ex machina" without context. 😜
That and DMC1 was the original draft for Resident Evil 4. Resident Evil always has a deus ex machina "escape the explosion" ending. It's contractually obligated by this point.
Fun Fact about Alastor: You can see swords of that same model all over the walls in the Devil May Cry office pierced into demon heads and such as trophies. It's also the start of the trope of Dante getting stabbed CONSTANTLY by his own sword.
The Demon Vergil decided to fight at the end of DMC3 when he fell and got stuck in the underworld was the main boss of this game, and yes, the demon knight Dante fought in the first 11 min of this video was Vergil, hence the reaction to Dante's amulet.
34:00 will never stop being unintentionally funny. I'm glad you guys thought it was just as funny as the rest of us. The early 2000s was a funny time for video game voice acting/directing.
LIIII-AIEEE-GHHHT! This game is a spectacular and beloved sample of the cheese fest that was the 2000s, with its 2000s one-liners. The director of the DMC1, Hideki Kamiya, went on to lead Bayonetta, and he heavily implies the two series are set in the same universe, but can't make any such claim because the two IPs belong to different publishers. At the very least, the lava spider in this game, Phantom, has a lawyer-friendly reappearance in Bayonetta 1 and 2 as "Phantasmaraneae". The way the bosses kept harassing you through the game, you really learned to hate them and think of the as rivals. Phantom actually outright chased you through hallways in parts of the game. Probably a leftover influence from when DMC1 began development as a survival horror game. Kamiya also directed another game, Viewtiful Joe, which has a lot of DMC1 references in there, too, including Dante and Trish appearing in the PS2 version of the game. Capcom's sense of humour during this time really was something else. As you noticed, Trish sorta filled in for "love interest" this game, but later staff sorta noticed it'd be extremely weird to base a relationship off "she looks like my mom", so that angle got dropped.
Haha, smart move of them to drop that angle. We all know the stereotype of boys marry a woman like their mother and girls marry a man like their father but marrying someone that looks exactly like them is a step too far 😂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Enzo, a regular character in Bayonetta was originally a Devil May Cry character. He managed to get away with it though since he was from the novels. Concept artwork for Bayonetta even shows Enzo playing poker with Dante with Bayonetta in the background.
That last scene in Devil may cry 3 with Vergil charging toward Mundus was moments before he got absolutely obliterated by Mundus. Vergil was not at full power since he just fought Dante. Mundus controlled Vergil throughout Devil may Cry 1
I just have to remember one thing: Devil May Cry 1 was developed by a director (Hideki Kamiya) and was at first a demo of Resident Evil 4 that was being developed In the second game they changed the director and it ended up not being very good (In the final 5 months of production they changed the team for Hideaki Itsuno) And in Devil May Cry 3,4 and 5 the director is now Hideaki Itsuno and he changed a lot of things based on the first game but at the same time they changed Dante's voice actor and some points in gameplay and story
"Is that Wesker?" Considering DMC was supposed to be an RE game, you're not entirely wrong. I heard this somewhere and I'm not sure if this is true, but Vergil's head looks like an edited version of Wesker's model from Code Veronica. Also DMC1 and RE4 Leon have the same face. They even have the same Japanese voice actor (Dante from Mvc3 onward and Leon from RE6 onward) Hell, they're both in Project X Zone 2 (The X is pronounced Cross) so he did talk to himself at one point.
37:42 - Through that line, Dante was mocking Mundus, by the fact that Sparda was the first to stop Mundus, and then defeated again by Dante. So by that logic Dante made a joke that basically says, if Mundus will return, he probaly will be stoped again by Dante's kid. (if he's gonna have any)
Hey guys. I wanted to point out, since it wasn't very clear in the video, that the sword that Dante grabs in his office is the same one that he fought Vergil over at the end of DMC 3, and the one that Arkham finds and uses to "transform" in to Sparda. It's called Force Edge, and it is said to be the very sword that Sparda used to defeat, and then seal, all the demons away in the Underworld. After defeating Virgil in this game (he is called Nelo Angelo until you find out that he is Vergil), and collecting his amulet, the two amulets combine and become the Perfect Amulet. When the amulets are fused, the true power of Force Edge is unlocked, and it transforms into its true form, called Devil Sword Sparda, named after the man himself. This helps establish a trend for future games that feature devil weapons that are named after the demons that they come from.
Thanks for letting us know about the sword. Remember how much of a big deal it was for the ending of 3 🙂😀 we just weren’t observant enough to connect it
If you remember at end of dmc3 vergil charged at floating eyes that was Mundus who basically tortured vergil after defeating him and vergil ended up as he did in this game controlled
Lady is off doing contracts at this time and it leads into the anime where Trish and lady first meet and they fight. Brilliant episode. xD Dante and Trish are more friends than Lovers. A part of his mother's spirit was in that amulet and it is what revived trish. She is however not Dante's mother.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames He wanted to fight Mundus, but lost and became his slave in the form of the Neo- Angelic Knight. But wait and see what happens to Vergil in DMC 5! Interesting!
Devil May Cry 3 introduced Lady as a character. She didn't exist in DMC1 or DMC2. Trish and Lady form a dynamic duo in DMC4 and they work a lot better together than either one does with Dante. DMC2 is very light on the plot, it does not matter at all in the story. You can still watch the cutscenes for how cheesy and bad they are, but you can summarize the whole plot in a sentence. When it comes to Dante's love life, he's probably the only protagonist that I can think of in fiction that is surrounded by beautiful women who haven't slept with him. Not because he gets rejected or because of professionalism or anything like that, he sees them as friends. Lady is like a best friend to him and Trish is like a big sister. Lady's disappearance in DMC1 and DMC2 gets explained as Dante running Devil May Cry very poorly, so she works alone to sustain herself financially. He usually just spends all the money on bad investments and pizza, so the lights frequently go out, utilities out of use, etc. It doesn't matter to Dante because he's an unstoppable demon hunter, but for a human who still leads a mortal life like Lady, it's a big deal. The cutscene movie did not miss any plot at all. DMC1 is just very choppy and rough due to its development and the time period it's from. If you were to play the game, you'd feel basically the same way about the plot.
there is also possibility that deep inside Dante is afraid to let someone be close to himself because of his mother`s fate. Trish and Lady met each other in DMC anime which takes place after 1st game and more or less canon
Let's not forget that in the canon anime Capcom published a while back there are multiple times we see Dante outright refuse payment for a job going wrong or just not completing a job at all in the case of a wealthy statesman hiring Dante to kill his daughter's demon boyfriend because of the humanity said boyfriend displays. It also speaks to his character I think that all the "jobs" we see him take on in the games with the exception of 1 all seem to be personal and do not have any cash payout what-so-ever.
Watching this I never realized how few cut scenes were actually in Devil May Cry 1. Guess it was all the fights that made it seem longer in my memories.
"I should have been the one to fill your dark soul with LIghT!!!" A hallmark of bad early Capcom voice acting along with Mega Man X4's "What am I fighting foooorrrrr!!!!!" and any line from PS1 Resident Evil 1.
In viewtiful joe, created by Hideki Kamiya too, show a relationship of Dante and Trish, show like Trish part, in anime (some years after DMC1), Trish is alone as Devil Hunter, i guess something happened.
DMC 1 definitely shows it’s age, but I still love it. Also Dante, Lady, and Trish all pretty much run the shop together, with Dante being the head. You won’t see them all together until 4 tho. DMC 2 is also pretty much it’s own thing and not very connected to the overall story, as it’s never mentioned again ever. So keep that in mind.
But timeline wise dmc2 is still a thing it just doesn't really being mentioned enough which I can't blame people besides bad gameplay pretty much development in the game. But it still has like some lower for high it throughout the series even though it's not dramatically but power-wise and subtle hints from DMC 4 it's still Cannon to the main story.
@@Karloss00 yeah because originally the timeline order was supposed to be 3142 according to the art book but when DMC 5 came around it changed the timeline erect timeline and now it's 31245. Now power scaling wise before they record the timeline I will see it will be good if it was the original timeline could it also explain why he is so powerful and why is demeanor it is and DMC too cuz a lot of things could have happened like Trish could have died for example which was a popular theory same thing with lady.
Glad to see you guys continuing more of these. I can't wait for you to get to 4 and 5. Don't do those out of order though, trust me on this one. 4 sets up a lot of payoffs for 5.
@@jalenjules1295 I feel like the issue with that is when. Like people argue its last and people argue 5 is last so 🤷♂️ that plus 2 feels super independent of a lot of the rest of the series lol
😊 glad you joined us for our DMC journey. We will have more coming for sure. Though we are leaning towards “suffering” through 2s cutscenes so we can get the full experience 🤗

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames oh yeah it’s worth it for the first time I guess 😅
Funny enough. This game/series is where I got my name Dante from. I was young and had a terrible relationship with my father. so when I was a teen I kinda disowned my name and wanted a name that wasn't common or confusing. shortly after I found this game and was hooked and in love with the story so I took the name Dante. Been a DMC fanboy ever since. P.S keep in mind and remember some of the names/demonic animals in this game. they will appear later on to where it all makes sense.
Thanks for sharing that story with us! 😀 So in a way it’s also kinda like Lady in DMC 3 not wanting her name her father gave her. So you got a lot of DMC in your origin story 😊 great name choice, Dante! 😎🤟🥳
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Ironically enough yes it is like the Lady situation from DMC3, granted I changed it around DMC 1 & 2 lol so seeing Lady doing what I did was little odd but got me hooked even more. I'll always be grateful to the Devil May Cry series. And if you two have any questions or are confused on anything in your DMC journey, I'm here to help. I obviously don't know every little detail about the series. but I'd say I'm knowledgeable enough lol between the games, the anime and the comics at least.
Plus just to let you know, the voice actor who is known to play Dante in 3,4 and 5 was not in 1 and 2. So you can tell that DMC1 didn't have that sarcastic and comedy style that Dante is known for right now. Devil May Cry was originally supposed to be a off-world story connected to Resident Evil but was later changed to be it's own thing. that is why Dante in this one was more as you put it "Hall-marky" and serious. The third game and ongoing is when they started to give him personality.
Please continue to check out the rest of the Devil May Cry series and play DMC5 and maybe all of your questions at the end of this video will be answered 😁 Enjoying your reaction through the series so far! 👍😁
Glad you continued with the first one idk why everyone was saying watch 3,4 and 5 without the first one it literally takes place after 3 and introduces Trish Dantes love interest along with shedding light on who’s originally responsible for Dante and Vergil’s parents fate. It’s an old ps2 game so the graphics and cutscenes weren’t as theatrical but it feels in a lot of potholes that you would’ve been confused on watching 4 and 5.will be better now you won’t have to wonder where Trish came from out of the blue on 4
Yeah we wanted the full experience. Not the best cut for the vid but also since it’s an older game just felt like getting to the essential elements of the story would works. Maybe a remake of this game will happen eventually 😇
It's crazy how far Devil May Cry has evolved over the years. It was supposed to be Resident Evil 4. Now look, it became the first hack and slash action game lol
Devil May Cry 1 is the very first DMC game I've played, my younger sister indirectly introduced me to this And I have Most Definitely loved the DMC series ever since Abso-fraking-lutely enjoyed watching your reaction to Devil May Cry 1
This was a great reaction! It just sucks there wasnt much gameplay, such as the Nelo Angelo fight, and the musical and scene buildup, only to be dropped off and skipped into a cutscene but i know it serves as a time crunch so thats good :)
It probably would have been a two parter at least. But it would have been nice to see some of the gameplay between the cutscenes especially with the bosses and some of the special enemies like the Shadow. Also Nelo Angelo just cause its basically Vergil as shown and its cool to see how his bossfights evolve throughout.
Also in the expanded devil may cry universe lady is an independent devil slayer she only contacts Dante if she really needs help like desperate for help. She also always stiffs him on his share of the money
I love this corny classic. Gold comedy that wasn't supposed to be comedy))) But the fact that this series never takes itself too seriously is for the best.
The girl entered 1st trish exactly looks like dante's mom so he was shocked to see her resemblance looking at her that he said there. Awesome game opening real one in as franchise
when he says give my regards to my son he is referring to the fact that if mundas comes back again the same thing will happen, daunte doesn't have a son.
Lady is independent devil hunter who has her devil hunting business to deal with. So, she necessarily doesn't everytime devil hunting with Dante. She mostly hunts down devils on her own. That's why, canonically Lady wasn't in DMC 1.
Oh one more little tidbit, in case you guys hadn't heard, the voice of Dante is also the US voice for Ken in Street Fighter. He basically does the same voice for both characters.
Two iconic characters 😎🤟 Believe we had been told that but we get so much info that some things get forgotten or lose so reminders are always appreciated 😁🤗
Well you can check out the animated series too it is set between DMC1 and DMC2 somewere it intoduces some new characters and some old ones too and its somewhat cannon in DMC5
So glad that you're catching up with the series, DMC 1 was with good gameplay for the time but the story and acting was.... you saw it :D. DMC2 can be skipped just because how bad it is, Dante is mute there, even the DEVs skipped it in the DMC5 recap video. DMC 4 and 5 are the fun ones, I can't wait for you to watch them/play them.
😀 we had a strong thought for that when we saw the necklace and then got it confirmed after Vergil got defeated. Poor Vergil to be turned into a servant 😢
I am pretty sure the uploader of the cutscenes did it when playing normally, are the other two games part of HD Collection uploaded by the same guy/gal?
Yknow i completely forgot about mundus i can honestly Believe DMC6 could be the final sendoff to the series having mundus finaly defeated probably by Nero to put a twist on the Son comment Dante made to mundus by having the Son of his Brother finaly kill him XD
Great reaction as usual, guys! So glad to see more DMC on the channel, and you guys seem to really enjoy it. But Dante and Trish didn't bang! XD Dante is a momma's boy, it's his soft spot. He always keeps a portrait of his mom Eva on his desk, even in the latest game. Oddly enough Dante is very reserved when it comes to having relationships. He probably avoids it so his partner doesn't end like his mother did. The fandom even has an in-joke that Dante must be a virgin. lol It has been revealed in the prequel book for DMC5 that a certain character from DMC2 has romantic feelings for him and Dante knows it though... guess you'll find out who is that character next time. ;) Oh, and that plane is a funny callback to the beginning of the game, you find a plane inside a storage room in the castle and it has no use, then in the end it's finally useful when it falls to the underground level of the castle.
Some people in the fandom say Dante and Lady have a...friends with benefits deal although they haven't (as far as we know) got into a actual relationship
Love the video as always you two are great. Don't know what you two are going to watch next in the Dmc Series, but you should watch devil my cry the animated series at some point it just awesome (it is cannon, confirmed by the Devil may cry creator), it chronologicly takes place before two but you can watch it after 2 if you want, it won't contradict the story at all. But you do need to see it before 4 because Trish and Lady meet for the fist time in the anime, and already know each other in part 4, The story for the anime also introduces characters who are later referenced and make appearances in Devil may cry 5. Patty and Morrison, Morrison who as a heads up is introduced as white in the anime but latter retconned to be black in devil may cry 5. (Don't know why they retconned him, but he is confirmed to be the same person by the DMC creator, and if i'm being honest looks and sound a lot cooler in Devil may cry 5), Also it hasn't come out yet but there is a new devil may cry anime currently being created by Netflix and Powerhouse animation that should be coming out sometime soon.
How Vergil became Neo Angelo at the end of dmc 3 Vergil fought mundus and lost in the book he tortured, him and his soul made him to what you see before him
Yesss! The continuation of the dmc reactions! If u remember the last part of dmc3, vergil fought with 3 red orbs "the prince of darkness". He lost that fight and got corrupted by mundus and turned into the drk night "nero angelo". Dont worry, the dante personality u loved will come back on the 4th and 5th game. The 1st is a bit different, the 2nd is gonna be worse :D Fun trivia, capcom originally wanted dmc 1 to be in the same world as resident evil. They decided to scrap that idea though.
From what I know the games story go 3, 1, the animated series, 2, 4 and then 5, so you guys are on the right track and the games definitely looks better the more as they go which is cool just like these games.
There is a 12 episodes anime of devil may cry if you are interested, so basically the more interesting thing is how Trish and lady met. I thin is around episode 6. You should take a look
So, fun fact about DMC as a whole: Devil May Cry is actually an Alpha Build of Resident Evil 4 that Capcom went "Oh, this is DEFINITELY not Resident Evil, but we like where this is going. So keep this for its own thing and make a new Resident Evil build that fits better." You can tell because a lot of early concepts for DMC had the characters look similar to RE4 characters. Dante was originally supposed to be Leon in fact.
So yeah a few things helped with context. Trish was created by Mundus to look exactly like his mother thus why Dante was shocked to see her & the reason they showed the photo for a bit. Mundus was the 3 eye Demon we see at the ending in DMC3 with Vergil trying to take him on which we learn in DMC1 that he lost & Mundus brainwashed him to serve him with that Dark Knight Armor which then Dante defeats him & we are left to believe Vergil died there as he leaves his pendant behind to Dante. The Griffon was one of Mundus top generals but unlike Mundus, Griffon had hint of respect for both Sparda & Dante as a warrior. We also learn Mundus was the Demon that killed Dante & Vergil's mother in the past as it was retribution for Sparda turning against his own kind & defeating Mundus demonic forces back when Dante & Vergil were only kids at the time. The ooze like form with the eyeballs & hands in the final fight is supposed to be Mundus true demonic form & he hides it behind a Angelic like statue form. DMC1 as it was the first game in the series it was very rough in the story telling & a lot of it wouldn't make much sense until later sequels to help flesh it out, mainly DMC 3, DMC 4, & DMC 5. Hope that helps clear up some things & I will warn ya, DMC 2 has very little story even less then DMC 1 in comparison & most of it won't be brought back up at all in the later sequels but I do look forward to your reactions but more so for when you guys get to DMC 4 which will introduce Nero.
Awesome DMC1 is one of my all time favorites don't forget to react to all the cutscenes Devil May Cry 2 through 5 & DMC: Definitive Edition as well keep up the good work guys
I would like to recommend that whenever you two have the free time if you can react to pyrocynical's "The best free game you never played" and possibly "The second best free game you never played" both are about two hours long but definitely a great watch. Also the videos are both about horror games so I'm sure you'll love it.
The curiosities of the game are that Dante does not kill Vergil but frees him from his slavery, the sword that the latter gets is his father's sword and Lady appears in Devil May Cry 4 with Trish, 2 is great because another appears Dante's companion named Lucia.
The plane dropping through the ceiling is a payoff for it being on display in the castle during the very first mission. Understandable that it seems a bit like a "machina ex machina" without context. 😜
That and DMC1 was the original draft for Resident Evil 4. Resident Evil always has a deus ex machina "escape the explosion" ending. It's contractually obligated by this point.

Fun fact, that dimension that Mundus pulls Dante in was an infinitely expanding universe Mundus created instantly.

I always found it funny, that of all the demons Dante has fought. Only Griffon had Dante's respect at the end.

2. Had demon powers which could have come from his dad

Let's not forget that in the canon anime Capcom published a while back there are multiple times we see Dante outright refuse payment for a job going wrong or just not completing a job at all in the case of a wealthy statesman hiring Dante to kill his daughter's demon boyfriend because of the humanity said boyfriend displays. It also speaks to his character I think that all the "jobs" we see him take on in the games with the exception of 1 all seem to be personal and do not have any cash payout what-so-ever.
@@dannymerfeld7711 and anime also shows how Trish and Lady got to know each other.... And proceeded to send their shopping bills to Dante.
Watching this I never realized how few cut scenes were actually in Devil May Cry 1. Guess it was all the fights that made it seem longer in my memories.
I can't wait for you to get to DMC 4 and 5. The Anime is awesome too.
😎🤟
"I should have been the one to fill your dark soul with LIghT!!!"
A hallmark of bad early Capcom voice acting along with Mega Man X4's "What am I fighting foooorrrrr!!!!!" and any line from PS1 Resident Evil 1.
You were almost a Jill sandwich.
😂 best cheesiest line 😁🥳
21:48 I can't unsee it now! 😂😂😂😂
😂🤗
In viewtiful joe, created by Hideki Kamiya too, show a relationship of Dante and Trish, show like Trish part, in anime (some years after DMC1), Trish is alone as Devil Hunter, i guess something happened.
Interesting 🤔
DMC 1 definitely shows it’s age, but I still love it.
Also Dante, Lady, and Trish all pretty much run the shop together, with Dante being the head.
You won’t see them all together until 4 tho.
DMC 2 is also pretty much it’s own thing and not very connected to the overall story, as it’s never mentioned again ever. So keep that in mind.
But timeline wise dmc2 is still a thing it just doesn't really being mentioned enough which I can't blame people besides bad gameplay pretty much development in the game. But it still has like some lower for high it throughout the series even though it's not dramatically but power-wise and subtle hints from DMC 4 it's still Cannon to the main story.
True, DMC2 kept getting thrown to the end of the timeline till Devil May Cry 5 which I think it takes just before it.
@@Karloss00 yeah because originally the timeline order was supposed to be 3142 according to the art book but when DMC 5 came around it changed the timeline erect timeline and now it's 31245. Now power scaling wise before they record the timeline I will see it will be good if it was the original timeline could it also explain why he is so powerful and why is demeanor it is and DMC too cuz a lot of things could have happened like Trish could have died for example which was a popular theory same thing with lady.
😎👍🙂
Glad to see you guys continuing more of these. I can't wait for you to get to 4 and 5. Don't do those out of order though, trust me on this one. 4 sets up a lot of payoffs for 5.
I wouldn't say a lot but they certainly are big
@@isaacmelendez2241 fair
oddly leaving out dmc2
@@jalenjules1295 Oh it'll be fun if they check that one out, it's just not on my radar. Is it on yours?
@@jalenjules1295 I feel like the issue with that is when. Like people argue its last and people argue 5 is last so 🤷♂️ that plus 2 feels super independent of a lot of the rest of the series lol
33:36 Thank God they haven't gone that far lol. Trish is more like an older sister to Dante.
That’s better 😊
I hope you guys will check out 4th game soon, this is where I started watching you guys daily. On this Devil May Cry journey! :)
😊 glad you joined us for our DMC journey. We will have more coming for sure. Though we are leaning towards “suffering” through 2s cutscenes so we can get the full experience 🤗
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames oh yeah it’s worth it for the first time I guess 😅
Funny enough. This game/series is where I got my name Dante from. I was young and had a terrible relationship with my father. so when I was a teen I kinda disowned my name and wanted a name that wasn't common or confusing. shortly after I found this game and was hooked and in love with the story so I took the name Dante.
Been a DMC fanboy ever since.
P.S keep in mind and remember some of the names/demonic animals in this game. they will appear later on to where it all makes sense.
Thanks for sharing that story with us! 😀 So in a way it’s also kinda like Lady in DMC 3 not wanting her name her father gave her. So you got a lot of DMC in your origin story 😊 great name choice, Dante! 😎🤟🥳
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Ironically enough yes it is like the Lady situation from DMC3, granted I changed it around DMC 1 & 2 lol so seeing Lady doing what I did was little odd but got me hooked even more. I'll always be grateful to the Devil May Cry series.
And if you two have any questions or are confused on anything in your DMC journey, I'm here to help. I obviously don't know every little detail about the series. but I'd say I'm knowledgeable enough lol between the games, the anime and the comics at least.
Plus just to let you know, the voice actor who is known to play Dante in 3,4 and 5 was not in 1 and 2. So you can tell that DMC1 didn't have that sarcastic and comedy style that Dante is known for right now.
Devil May Cry was originally supposed to be a off-world story connected to Resident Evil but was later changed to be it's own thing. that is why Dante in this one was more as you put it "Hall-marky" and serious. The third game and ongoing is when they started to give him personality.
Please continue to check out the rest of the Devil May Cry series and play DMC5 and maybe all of your questions at the end of this video will be answered 😁 Enjoying your reaction through the series so far! 👍😁
We will for sure continue our journey and look forward to our questions being answered and even more coming up 🙂
Glad you continued with the first one idk why everyone was saying watch 3,4 and 5 without the first one it literally takes place after 3 and introduces Trish Dantes love interest along with shedding light on who’s originally responsible for Dante and Vergil’s parents fate. It’s an old ps2 game so the graphics and cutscenes weren’t as theatrical but it feels in a lot of potholes that you would’ve been confused on watching 4 and 5.will be better now you won’t have to wonder where Trish came from out of the blue on 4
Yeah we wanted the full experience. Not the best cut for the vid but also since it’s an older game just felt like getting to the essential elements of the story would works. Maybe a remake of this game will happen eventually 😇
34:02 For the legendary moment and voice break. :')
😂
34:00, haha I was waiting for that part. Some 20 years later and I still lose it every time!
😂 Best cheesiest line ever 😎🤟
It's crazy how far Devil May Cry has evolved over the years. It was supposed to be Resident Evil 4. Now look, it became the first hack and slash action game lol
😎🤟🤩
You better start a Stab Count for Dante, I think he gets one in the chest every single game lol
Devil May Cry 1 is the very first DMC game I've played, my younger sister indirectly introduced me to this
And I have Most Definitely loved the DMC series ever since
Abso-fraking-lutely enjoyed watching your reaction to Devil May Cry 1
Glad you enjoyed it! This series is a lot of fun 😀
This was a great reaction! It just sucks there wasnt much gameplay, such as the Nelo Angelo fight, and the musical and scene buildup, only to be dropped off and skipped into a cutscene
but i know it serves as a time crunch so thats good :)
Yeah it’s tough finding those perfect cutscenes reactions. Especially going in blind and on older games 🤗
It probably would have been a two parter at least. But it would have been nice to see some of the gameplay between the cutscenes especially with the bosses and some of the special enemies like the Shadow. Also Nelo Angelo just cause its basically Vergil as shown and its cool to see how his bossfights evolve throughout.
We will see a more complete version for DMC 4 😇
Also in the expanded devil may cry universe lady is an independent devil slayer she only contacts Dante if she really needs help like desperate for help. She also always stiffs him on his share of the money
She doesn't stiff Dante, Dante is horribly in debt to her because he borrows rent for his office from her every month.
😎👍🙂
Let's go 😎, I can't wait for 4 and 5! Super excited and thanks for entertaining me while I study for my final exams (:
Good luck on your finals 🥳🥳😀
I like how "Nature Calls" is a gag.
Funny way to test loyalty by heart simply by stabbing the heart...lucky for demon blood seems to prevent that problem
He less cocky here because he a lot older now. Have to remember this game came out like 2003 on the ps2 this was cutting edge at the time.
Trish has the resemblance of Dante's mother.
The plane was always there mounted on scaffolding in a large room
😎👍🙂
Love seeing y’all reaction. I can’t wait for y’all to do far cry 4
😎🤟🥳 we do have to check out more Fat Cry 😀
That purple Guy is Vergil after DMC 3 that got enslaved by mundus.
That hole in Mundus' chest was the wound he got from Sparda 2,000 years prior
😯😁
This is awesome storyline!
btw if u hadnt noticed the sword he started with in dmc 1 was actually force edge the sword he got at the end of dmc 3 when vergil dropped it
We hadn’t picked up on that 😯😀
I love this corny classic. Gold comedy that wasn't supposed to be comedy))) But the fact that this series never takes itself too seriously is for the best.
Agreed. It’s part of its charm not taking itself too seriously 😊
The girl entered 1st trish exactly looks like dante's mom so he was shocked to see her resemblance looking at her that he said there. Awesome game opening real one in as franchise
I'm Glad yall are enjoying my Childhood.
☺️
when he says give my regards to my son he is referring to the fact that if mundas comes back again the same thing will happen, daunte doesn't have a son.
Lady is independent devil hunter who has her devil hunting business to deal with. So, she necessarily doesn't everytime devil hunting with Dante. She mostly hunts down devils on her own. That's why, canonically Lady wasn't in DMC 1.
That makes sense 🙂
Oh one more little tidbit, in case you guys hadn't heard, the voice of Dante is also the US voice for Ken in Street Fighter. He basically does the same voice for both characters.
Two iconic characters 😎🤟 Believe we had been told that but we get so much info that some things get forgotten or lose so reminders are always appreciated 😁🤗
Well you can check out the animated series too it is set between DMC1 and DMC2 somewere it intoduces some new characters and some old ones too and its somewhat cannon in DMC5
😎👍😀
This is where the fun begins
😁
Oh man the dialogue in this game is so special
So glad that you're catching up with the series, DMC 1 was with good gameplay for the time but the story and acting was.... you saw it :D. DMC2 can be skipped just because how bad it is, Dante is mute there, even the DEVs skipped it in the DMC5 recap video. DMC 4 and 5 are the fun ones, I can't wait for you to watch them/play them.
I love devil may cry it's great that you're doing a reaction to all these it's awesome keep up the good work 😎👍😊
Thanks! 🥳🥳😀
Lady kinda goes on her own devil hunting missions in between games. She is in the Anime tho, which takes place shortly after this.
😎👍🙂
If the comments haven't told u guys yet, Ken, that knight dante was fighting
Is his brother vergil
😀 we had a strong thought for that when we saw the necklace and then got it confirmed after Vergil got defeated. Poor Vergil to be turned into a servant 😢
Aw man, didn't show the "Devil May Cry's a rockin', don't come a rockin baby, yeah!" that plays on the ending in Dante Must Die mode
I am pretty sure the uploader of the cutscenes did it when playing normally, are the other two games part of HD Collection uploaded by the same guy/gal?
Yknow i completely forgot about mundus i can honestly Believe DMC6 could be the final sendoff to the series having mundus finaly defeated probably by Nero to put a twist on the Son comment Dante made to mundus by having the Son of his Brother finaly kill him XD
12:40 Awesome!
i love your wife's reactions to skimmpy clothed women. it's so hilarious not seeing her hating them but just pointing out how skimmpy they look XD
😂 yeah it’s nice having her say it instead of me 🤗
It's the opening and ending cutscenes for Vergil's campaign.
😎👍
LESSS GOOOOO DMC 1 REACTIONS HERE WE GO
🥳🥳
Great reaction as usual, guys! So glad to see more DMC on the channel, and you guys seem to really enjoy it.
But Dante and Trish didn't bang! XD Dante is a momma's boy, it's his soft spot. He always keeps a portrait of his mom Eva on his desk, even in the latest game.
Oddly enough Dante is very reserved when it comes to having relationships. He probably avoids it so his partner doesn't end like his mother did. The fandom even has an in-joke that Dante must be a virgin. lol
It has been revealed in the prequel book for DMC5 that a certain character from DMC2 has romantic feelings for him and Dante knows it though... guess you'll find out who is that character next time. ;)
Oh, and that plane is a funny callback to the beginning of the game, you find a plane inside a storage room in the castle and it has no use, then in the end it's finally useful when it falls to the underground level of the castle.
Some people in the fandom say Dante and Lady have a...friends with benefits deal although they haven't (as far as we know) got into a actual relationship
Also he likely doesn't know how long he's going to live. He might look as he did in DMC5 while his possible spouse ages and dies before his eyes.
Big castle to just have a plane in its storage room 😛
Bettany Look Like Trish and look like Mother Dante.
Yesssss part 2 of Dantes story
😁🥳
Ohh yeah, thx for this continuation, you two are amazing
Our pleasure 🥳🥳😀🤩
You also have to remember dmc came out in 2001, devil may 3 released in 2005 , and devil may cry 2 is came out in 2003
😎👍🙂
i'm excited now for youre reaction in dmc4,. can't wait
😎🤟🥳
Love the video as always you two are great. Don't know what you two are going to watch next in the Dmc Series, but you should watch devil my cry the animated series at some point it just awesome (it is cannon, confirmed by the Devil may cry creator), it chronologicly takes place before two but you can watch it after 2 if you want, it won't contradict the story at all. But you do need to see it before 4 because Trish and Lady meet for the fist time in the anime, and already know each other in part 4, The story for the anime also introduces characters who are later referenced and make appearances in Devil may cry 5. Patty and Morrison, Morrison who as a heads up is introduced as white in the anime but latter retconned to be black in devil may cry 5. (Don't know why they retconned him, but he is confirmed to be the same person by the DMC creator, and if i'm being honest looks and sound a lot cooler in Devil may cry 5), Also it hasn't come out yet but there is a new devil may cry anime currently being created by Netflix and Powerhouse animation that should be coming out sometime soon.
Thanks for all the info! Looking forward to the Netflix series for DMC when that comes 😀
How Vergil became Neo Angelo at the end of dmc 3 Vergil fought mundus and lost in the book he tortured, him and his soul made him to what you see before him
😢
Yesss! The continuation of the dmc reactions!
If u remember the last part of dmc3, vergil fought with 3 red orbs "the prince of darkness". He lost that fight and got corrupted by mundus and turned into the drk night "nero angelo".
Dont worry, the dante personality u loved will come back on the 4th and 5th game. The 1st is a bit different, the 2nd is gonna be worse :D
Fun trivia, capcom originally wanted dmc 1 to be in the same world as resident evil. They decided to scrap that idea though.
is sad , very sad ...
😎👍😀
From what I know the games story go 3, 1, the animated series, 2, 4 and then 5, so you guys are on the right track and the games definitely looks better the more as they go which is cool just like these games.
😎🤟
There is a 12 episodes anime of devil may cry if you are interested, so basically the more interesting thing is how Trish and lady met. I thin is around episode 6. You should take a look
Thanks! Would be cool to see how Trish and Lady met 🙂
Trish is a clone of Dante mother that mundus made
😎👍🙂
Love Dante! He's so good!
Agreed 😀
So, fun fact about DMC as a whole: Devil May Cry is actually an Alpha Build of Resident Evil 4 that Capcom went "Oh, this is DEFINITELY not Resident Evil, but we like where this is going. So keep this for its own thing and make a new Resident Evil build that fits better." You can tell because a lot of early concepts for DMC had the characters look similar to RE4 characters. Dante was originally supposed to be Leon in fact.
Dante looking like Leon and Vergil having Wesker face makes more sense now 🙂
So yeah a few things helped with context.
Trish was created by Mundus to look exactly like his mother thus why Dante was shocked to see her & the reason they showed the photo for a bit.
Mundus was the 3 eye Demon we see at the ending in DMC3 with Vergil trying to take him on which we learn in DMC1 that he lost & Mundus brainwashed him to serve him with that Dark Knight Armor which then Dante defeats him & we are left to believe Vergil died there as he leaves his pendant behind to Dante.
The Griffon was one of Mundus top generals but unlike Mundus, Griffon had hint of respect for both Sparda & Dante as a warrior.
We also learn Mundus was the Demon that killed Dante & Vergil's mother in the past as it was retribution for Sparda turning against his own kind & defeating Mundus demonic forces back when Dante & Vergil were only kids at the time.
The ooze like form with the eyeballs & hands in the final fight is supposed to be Mundus true demonic form & he hides it behind a Angelic like statue form.
DMC1 as it was the first game in the series it was very rough in the story telling & a lot of it wouldn't make much sense until later sequels to help flesh it out, mainly DMC 3, DMC 4, & DMC 5.
Hope that helps clear up some things & I will warn ya, DMC 2 has very little story even less then DMC 1 in comparison & most of it won't be brought back up at all in the later sequels but I do look forward to your reactions but more so for when you guys get to DMC 4 which will introduce Nero.
Thanks for helping answer some of the questions we had while watching this 🙂😀
Awesome DMC1 is one of my all time favorites don't forget to react to all the cutscenes Devil May Cry 2 through 5 & DMC: Definitive Edition as well keep up the good work guys
We plan to play 5 once we get to it 😀
I would like to recommend that whenever you two have the free time if you can react to pyrocynical's "The best free game you never played" and possibly "The second best free game you never played" both are about two hours long but definitely a great watch. Also the videos are both about horror games so I'm sure you'll love it.
Thanks for the vid recommendation 😀
Trish looks like Dante and Vergil's mother.
😎👍🙂
The curiosities of the game are that Dante does not kill Vergil but frees him from his slavery, the sword that the latter gets is his father's sword and Lady appears in Devil May Cry 4 with Trish, 2 is great because another appears Dante's companion named Lucia.
Okay so at least 2 gives us an introduction to a character that comes up later 🙂
