A minor correction! Some comments have pointed out Dante received Rebellion, not Force Edge, as his father's keepsake. I feel like such a dummy for not noticing! It's worth noting as well that in DMC V, Rebellion also is shattered which was quite a huge deal. It's also canon(?) that he never used Alastor again because he simply forgot it existed. Which is in character for him.
Somthing to mention sparda was never actually confirmed dead so he could still be alive also trish was purposefully made to look like dante and vergils mother and i suspect that mundis used the actual dead body of dante's mom for trish since he was the one who ordered that attack on their house to begin with another thing lol the savior was specifically designed to have a son of sparda as its fuel source also nero was legit melting in it the only reason why he was able to get out was because dante threw the yamato which seperates demon from man (also howv and urizen were created) and nero's sword is heavily modified from its base version by nero himself
Dmc 5 explained: Vergil, Vergil, Vergil, Vergil. Vergil becomes even more powerful by splitting himself into Vergil and Vergil therefore Vergil has to find Vergil using Vergil’s brother and Vergil’s son hence Vergil defeats Vergil. But then Vergil returns, Vergil, Vergil, Vergil. Featuring Vergil from the special edition series
Both sides of DMC2 Dante's coin was heads. He was just trolling granny and Lucia while of course going to do the right thing....Dante will never change. lol
On the ps2 DMC2 was split into two disc. One where you play as Dante and the other as Lucia. I only had disc 2 so I was only ever able to play Lucia's story. Thanks gamestop
Kamyia birthed the franchise but it was Itsuno that sailed the ship after 1, he took over mid DMC2 development and tried his best to finish that project. After that he was responsible for every single game from 3 onwards, so let's show the man some respect
An interesting take, in the DMCV manga, Vergil's book symbolizes his heart, in the end of DMCV, he gives his book to Nero, maybe is implying that, even if Vergil is a bad person, he still looking foward to try to love someone
So, this was a great video, but I do have some problems because you either missed some details or got some details wrong. 1. Dante was gifted the Rebellion, not the Force Edge. 2. You forgot to mention that the coin Dante flipped in DMC2 was double-headed, meaning that he was always going to help. 3. Nero doesn't start DMC4 with the Yamato. Agnus first had it and was trying to repair it. When Nero was uncovering The Order's plot, Agnus nearly kills Nero. This sparks his awakening, which results in Nero fixing the Yamato and calling it to him. 4. You forgot to mention that Urizen breaks the Rebellion. 5. You also forgot to mention that Dante manages to fuse the broken Rebellion with the Devil Sword Sparda to not only unlock Dante's Sin Devil Trigger, but to give Dante a new sword, the Devil Sword Dante. It's what allows him to easily beat the shit out of Urizen twice, even when Urizen eats the fruit from the Qliphoth.
Bro forgot to mention that the coin in DMC2 was heads both sides. Him deciding on a coin flip was him fucking with any person talking to him. So much in character for Dante.
1:00:50 At this point they've been "Stuck in the underworld forever" like 3 different times already. They'll be back in time for Thanksgiving and still have energy left over to go black friday shopping
There's also a book, describing Dante's life before he even knew he was a half-demon. Back then he was called "Tony Redgrave" and earned his money similiar to something like a mercenary. It's also where he got received Ebony and Ivory from a female gunsmith (forgot her name) who berated him constantly for not taking care of his firearms (that's why she created some durable ones, guns that can withstand Dante's happy-go-lucky-trigger style). Things eventually take a turn when "Gilver" (Vergil) appears in that mercenary guild, being cloaked in bandages, very mummy-like. Yadda yadda, but yeah the book exists.
Is it me or are Dante and Virgil oddly similar to Inuyasha and Sesshomaru? Both inherited swords from their demon father, specifically one that transforms into a large curved swoed and the other being a katana related to death and the afterlife, the red one being a demon killer, and the white hair.
Dude ive got hundreds of hours spent into dmc4 and had no idea he was standing on the roof on the opening scene. Thats crazy im still finding new things about the game this many years later
12:55 For me, this was the moment I fell in love with this series. The high energy of Dante's plunge down the tower and how insane it was to witness just made me go "Alright, that's it. I love this game now."
My favorite game of my formative years. Running it over and over again with my dad is my favorite of my childhood memories. DMC was peak when In earlier 2000s
Mundus didn't teleport Dante as teleportation is never done like that in the dmc series. He simply created an infinitely expanding universe as stated in dmc1 game manual "precious tears". You see his universe starting small but rapidly growing exponentially just as in the Big bang theory
@@97kickflips77 1st, go watch the cutscene after that, come tell me which part tells You it's a dream or illusion. Before claiming something You need to BACK IT UP WITH EVIDENCES
All DMC fans should read the manga. I promise it tells you literally everything. Without the manga if you play through the story you will be confused alot 😂. Even small details like how the brothers came up with catch phase Jackpot when they were kids still training under their father.
28:48 Only DMC (1) was directed by Hideki Kamiya, the rest of the games were directed by Hideaki Itsuno. DMC 2 had some unkown director for most of it's creation, and for the last 6 months Hideaki Itsuno was brought in to fix the mess of what is DMC 2, but 6 months is just not enough for that (tbh DMC 2 needs to be remade from scratch).
You have no idea how excited I was seeing this in my notifications, Devil May Cry is my favorite media of all time I grabbed my best friend and started shaking her with excitement
Thanks for such a wonderful retrospective of devil may cry. I was also watching this when writing a project, so thank you for the well wishes! This series is a lot more emotional than I realised
@@ChipmunkuChan My guy, this video was glorious. I loved the detail in which you went to, it’s AMAZING. And doing it in chronological order!? You ended up teaching me a few thing I didn’t know about! Thank you this was so well made ❤❤❤
The joke about the coin that Danta keeps flipping is that it is a double-sided coin. Meaning he is just flipping the coin to either look cool, or make people anxious while it "decides what he is going to do".
You're pretty good... At lore breakdowns like seriously you are hella underrated (also you should take a look at doom lore because that shit is so fucking wacky and confusing and bat shit insane, in other words you'd love it)
I would've explained more how in DMC 4, Nero was killed by Agnus when he found his secret lab beneath Fortuna Castle. Then how Nero revived himself by awakening his (kinda) devil trigger, actively repairing the shattered yamato (that was broken by Mundus while he fought Vergil after DMC 3) when not even Agnus could. He earned the yamato by awakening his demonic powers. He didn't just happen to have it at the start of DMC 4 like this video would have you believe. Also I would've briefly touched on that Nero had the devil bringer because demons attacked while he was with Kyrie and he desired Power, hearing the voice of Vergil. While Nero was awakening his devil trigger, his arm was seriously injured(also why he was able to hide it in a cast, having Kyrie believe his arm was just injured), leaving only his arm in a permanent devil trigger state. Not angry or anything, just want to correct a bit like the ass I am. Great video overall tho :)
It’s never stated that Sparda got sick or passed away, simply that he “disappeared” Which is likely why Dante seems reluctant to carry on his legacy at the beginning of DMC 3. Id feel the way if my pops up and left and wasn’t there to protect the death of my mother and presumably brother (until the events of the DMC 3 prequel manga)
Everyone please read DMC manga Visions of V. It solve every doubt I have on why Vergil turn into asshole in DMC3 and why he really want to remove humanity in his body in DMC5.
Just realized this..2 demons with weapons inherited from their great demon father; fight for supremacy, 1 is rather goofy, 1 is stone cold stoic. Both can change into their original form. Both have platinum hair... Isn't this the premise of Inuyasha?
14:58 is incorrect. Arkham doesn't dunk em here 1v3 cause he is so powerful, he does so cause he was waiting until Dante and Vergil were weakened and damaged enough by each other for him to swoop in for the "kill" steal.
great Video ^^ I still hope that we will get another game and that Dante and Vergil make it out of the demon world. Also Nero still has to give that book back ^^
Loved the video but i feel it needs to be mentioned that past DMC 1 it was Hideki ITSUNO who was the director of the games and he was the one that joined late into DMC 2 development to attempt to salvage it (kamiya himself has said this on his twitter stating "Even if i were him I couldn't have done better than he did.") Again great video and lore wise everyone else has made the same points and corrections so no need to repeat.

another thing lol the savior was specifically designed to have a son of sparda as its fuel source also nero was legit melting in it the only reason why he was able to get out was because dante threw the yamato which seperates demon from man (also howv and urizen were created)
and nero's sword is heavily modified from its base version by nero himself
Damn, my man really forgot a wholeass sword that impaled him then promptly jumped in his pocket after it learned he's him
Yes, because I get the force edge

Tbf, Dante also received some of the blood from the tree since the tree thought Dante was Urizen while napping for a month near the roots~
Thank you
Force edge became the sword sparda..sparda and rebellion were fused to become devil sword Dante...it was spardas plan
Bro forgot to mention that the coin in DMC2 was heads both sides. Him deciding on a coin flip was him fucking with any person talking to him. So much in character for Dante.

Portals randomly appear in the Underworld with little explanation as to why, this is how Dante was able to escape the Underworld after DMC2

It was ''Devil May Cry: Volume 1''

Or Sasuke and Naruto. It's a common cliche in Japan.
I made this comparison as a joke to my friends, so I’m genuinely surprised someone made this connection as well. But you’re right!
I was wondering which brothers with swords they reminded me of, thanks!
@@jakubrogacz6829 they are not actually brothers though

1:53 "Blood Is Fuel"
Reminds me a certain game with a similar opening quote. I think it goes:
"Mankind is dead"
"Blood is fuel"
"Hell is full"
When Dante (dmc3) says the line " remember what we used to say" ( smth close to that ) you can see vergil smiling and that made my day
Hold on, let me flip a coin to decide if I leave a like for this excellent video... your lucky streak continues.
The joke about the coin that Danta keeps flipping is that it is a double-sided coin.
Meaning he is just flipping the coin to either look cool, or make people anxious while it "decides what he is going to do".
