IRL Dante is also pretty hot. Thank you DMC5 for introducing me to Adam Cowie :swoon:

Relatedly, IRL Nero, Nico, Lady, Trish, and V.

Also :lol: at Dante's allowance.

I like to imagine Nero's side of the business is successful because when people meet him, they see some punk rocker dude, whereas when they see Dante, they see some loving weirdo who walks around in leather and tacky red leather jackets. Like, why does this rear end in a top hat have so many red leather jackets? Is he a cosplayer?

Nero is probably grounded enough to ask for financially sustainable rates.I don’t know if Dante even needs food. Maybe he eats as a hobby

Nero was raised in a church and is in a relationship with a woman who was sister of a man who basically ran an entirely military wing of said church, on top of being a beloved public figure herself. He also has a known technical mind and has many skills that could make money on the side if necessary.

Dante was raised by a demon and an Umbral Witch. He knows how to hit things and maybe what S&M is.

All that tells me is that Kyrie is the real money maker in the relationship and both Nero and Dante should be hobos.

Dante gets paid poo poo but the pizza place is besieged by demons 24/7 so he gets a lot of freebies from them

God, I can't stop imagining a pizza place with demons just kind of hanging around outside on the sidewalk, or rummaging through the dumpsters, or snarling at employees on break. Complete with the drivers muttering in annoyance as they sidestep scythe swings running back inside to pick up another delivery. The poor confused new hire is worried and wondering what the hell is going on, but one of the old hands reassures him.

I don't know if it's irrational or not but I really hate this and am glad it's not in any of the actual DMC games. It hits the same things as dmc s dante being angel&demon. I really prefer that the reason Dante , Virgil and Nero are actually awesome is that they are half just regular human instead of all super special. It also makes the Dante "picking" human and Vergil demon actually have a point.

Dante was raised by really nice, retired succubi who taught him how to accessorize and flaunt his looks. They would tease the hell out of him constantly and he'd always shy away, making the game fun to the demon ladies and making sure Dante never knew how to start a relationship.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
Video game protagonists becoming fathers as a thinly veiled reflection of developers getting old and having kids is a garbage trend and I'm glad Dante is incapable of progressing a relationship to the point where that might feasibly happen. Crazy uncle is the only possible role Dante was ever meant to fill.

Dante already has a daughter and he's the only parental figure Nero's had in his life, he is as much a dad as he can be without having a sired a child of his own.

It's also a reflection of the people playing them getting old, gotta pass on the torch eventually.

Dante is very much the cool Uncle that always comes to family gatherings that still hasn't settled down even though he's in his 40s.

Dante’s mom being an Umbral Witch is fine because Umbral Witch is a job or character class, it’s not her species. Dante is still half human, it just explains why Sparda would have ever noticed or cared about her in the first place.

I still remember when every series worked like Street Fighter does so I don't mind it like how are they not caught up to 3 still it's been years.

Wait who is the daughter in this scenario? Trish comes off as older sister and he tried to kiss Lady so that'd be weird.

There's a lot of really good music in the DMC anime, in general. I've been rewatching and it's honestly pretty alright if you're cool with seeing Dante in his day to day rather than cool demon killing Dante. So far the Trish & Lady and Dante gets stalked by a dude trying to hit on this waitress are the highlights. Also Patty's pretty fun too.

Is hell just the demon realm or is it also where you go when you die? All those in-game currencies are weak dead people right?

IIRC demon blood crystallizes when a demon that holds a really big grudge or hatred against someone dies, which is why you get more red orbs for killing demons at higher style ranks, they're pissed at you for styling on them so effortlessly

edit: I may have this confused for something from Okami but I feel like DMC has the same thing in its lore

You are probably thinking of 3. They re-ported it as part of the HD Collection. It's still not a good port but at least you can use a controller now, for gently caress's sakes.
