Dante with depression after "killing" his brother in the first game

[@theunknownvoidz1409]

And realizing that even after Dante managed to kick Mundus’ ass it won’t bring his mother or brother back from the dead. No matter what his friends tried to do to help him move on, Dante couldn’t because, at the time, he believed to be the only person left in his family. A family cursed with death and violence and most likely didn’t want them to end up dying or hurt and tried to distance himself from people like Lady, Trish, Morrison, and Patty from time to time but wanted to be with them at the same time. It wasn’t until he ran into Nero 5 years after DMC 2 and made the connection that he was Vergil’s son through the connection of Yamato. With that, Dante was able to breathe knowing that he’s an uncle and can become a bit happier knowing that he has someone related to him that he could consider family. He even managed to make amends with his brother (thank Nero for that, Dante), making up for a lost time after all that fighting, hatred, and bloodshed the two surrounded themselves in.

Same character, different vision/ideas/production. 2) lmfao, Dante does care about killing Vergil. In the end of dmc 3 he literally cried because of his brother falling into the demonworld/underworld. 3) indeed, Dante was "happy" in the end of dmc 1. However, in the dmc anime, which chronologically took place after the events of dmc 1, Dante with each episode was becoming more inactive/quieter, thus realising his loneliness and getting depressed.

As such, he became a lot more reserved in this game, thinking that would be the best way to keep those he considers his friends and family safe.

You know if you think about it This version of Dante can be good to the story Dmc3- Dante was sad over Vergil Dmc1- Dante was forced to kill Vergil because of Mundus which weighed heavy over his heart Dmc anime- Dante is slowly falling into a deep depression as shown in the ending credits where he is seen drinking alone in the dmc shop but was had friends to help him out(Patty, Lady, Trish, Morrison) Dmc2- Dante is a different man at this point, losing most of his charisma and getting a more serious outlook on life. Dmc4- Dante's depression is sorta resolved in a way when he meets Nero because he gets the sense of Vergil or maybe he sense the blood of Sparda and in response doesn't feel so alone. With Nero being in his life, it in a way restarts him bringing back all of his charisma and character.

Why Rebellion looks differently and doesn't have the same abilities as in DMC3 and DMC4. Ebony and Ivory could be fakes since they're just human-made guns. Why his devil trigger looks and works completely different than it did in 3, 1 and 4. Why Dante apparently never joined forces with Lucia, as if he had never met her. Why DMC2-Dante did the whole self-sacrifice spiel and got trapped in the underworld, only to show up in DMC4 as if nothing happened. It even explains DMC2-Dante's coin. It's a coin where both sides look the same, just like how the Doppelganger-demon is a mirrored image of Dante. It even gives the Doppelganger-demon a redemption arc. Despite (probably) being a full-blooded demon, it mirrored Dante's human personality so well that it sacrifices itself at the end. This finally makes DMC2 fit into the canon.

yea, people do hate on 2 dante a lot, but I find this does make sense canonically. if we go with the chronology that this happens after 1 and the animated series and its allusions to dante being depressed, I wouldn't be surprised by his uncharacteristic withdrawn-ness. we do still see glimpses of his usual cocky quippiness, it's just extraordinarily subdued. apart from that though, the gameplay was pretty dogwater, which cemented this as the worst (asides from the reboot-which-must-never-be-named). which is quite unfortunate, as his personality in 2 does give insight into his headspace before he ran into Nero in 4 and found a reason to break out of his downward spiral. this is all my opinion though, so take it with a grain of salt.

0:38 “Don’t speak…just DIE.” At a moment like this Dante would’ve got on with something like “Oh, you can talk! I’m surprised that you weren’t the only Cerberus I’ve dealt with before!” But because (long before DMC 5 retconned the entire DMC storyline via chronological order) he’s seen so much death and destruction while enduring it, combined with the fact he has no family left (Nero went on his own path and the rest such as Lady, Trish, Patty and Morrison have either abandoned him, retired or have been killed) with his age kicking in hard (I’d say Dante was around his mid-to-late 40s or early-50s), he doesn’t give a shit anymore. He can’t be bothered to have a goofy cocky moment as he’s had enough, all he cares about now with the only thing left in him and that is to hunt and kill any demon with zero hesitation or an enemy that’s looking to finish or carry on what Arkham, Mundus and Sanctus have started or attempted to start. THAT is how character and story development should be portrayed without forcing it out.

There’s a roaming theory that since this takes place after DMC 1 and the anime, we more or less see his attitude shift due to him going thru a certain depression. This of course stems over the loss of Vergil twice and overcoming one of the most powerful demons in his world. So with no family left and pretty much no one to challenge him, he starts taking himself way too seriously and finds little joy in life. It to say he has absolutely no sense of humor left or is completely bleak, we still see his humor spark here and there during his “dark” period, but he returns to his clownful ways once he meets Nero, and as he’s explained in cutscenes before, he suspected him to be related somehow the moment they met and especially once Nero began using the Yamato.

[@dofydudes1735]

actually you can see his transition clearly in DMC4. He was cheerful when talking to Lady and Trish but on the field working he looked really serious, and just quick to get the job done (one shot into Sanctus head) and doesn't speak a single work. But the moment he fought with Nero in the cathedral he is more and more happy 'cause he suspected Nero was a hybrid like him too. Then when Dante saw the Devil Bringer he knew, and from then on you can see goofball Dante back again because he's certain Nero was somewhat similar to him.

@@dofydudes1735 makes sense

[@phantasosxgames8488]

@@JuriSins yep , even the ending in the DMC Anime implies he was depressed. After DMC1 , when Lady and Trish were away for too long , he starts to act like DMC2 Dante

Idk man Reuben Langdon's higher pitch voice fits Dante more imo.

Can confirm, after playing DMC 2, which I did enjoy in some weird way, despite all the problems. *Yes. These are the only lines he says. No quippy dialogue unlike 3.*

[@MarinetteDupainCheng564]

came to think of it... DMC2 didn´t even had taunts...

[@ungabunga1106]

i love that the new canon explanation for this is just that he was obscenely bored the entire game, to the point where he didnt even remember argosax or the despair embodied existed, meaning he was not even SLIGHTLY concerned or challenged by that last fight that was causing worlds to collide and begin breaking apart, pretty funny

[@abdelali9279]

Wow, just 90 seconds of dialogue, wow didn't notice but no wonder now that I think about it I only remember like the final missions, thinking how rushed this game was, it is surprising they took their time to actually record some voice lines.

[@PlayerZeroStart]

The "Here's your crown" line is the only one that actually sounds like Dante.

[@BellmoTheGreat]

Everyone always goes on about how DmC Dante has an unbearable personality but at least that Dante has a personality compared to DMC 2 Dante.

[@tuvieja3762]

The dmc 2 dante is similar to dmc anime dante or dmc4 dante at the beginning of that game. It's implied that dante suffered from depression because of the death of his brother and family, that attitude change when he saw Nero for the first time

[@TheSolBlader]

ImpIying a bad pesonaIity is better than not having one

[@mistoryman953]

Now when you say DmC Dante are you referring to the (cleverly named game) DmC: Devil May Cry Dante or DMC1 Dante? 'Cause DmC Dante is usually called Donte or D.I.N.O (Dante In Name Only).

[@hrnbrigade4991]

@@mistoryman953 He's talking about Dino from Donte May Cry Fuck You Edition featuring El Vergin aka Pregnant Woman Sniper.

[@Nekufan1000000]

I would rather listen to this on repeat for six weeks than one more sit through of Donte and the giant slug woman screaming "Fuck you!" like that's a conversation worth even WRITING. "Here's your crown" is a solid enough line to make this worth listening to. Nothing in DmC is. Gosh, so glad they included that line about magic markings made from squirrel cum! That's what Devil May Cry needed to be gritty and serious.

I really want a game with this serious dante..its 2 then 4 right? Well i need a game between them so i can see dante kicking some demon bosses asses while being serious

To be fair, Dante's other two big lines in the final Arius scene were pretty good zingers. "Show time!" was... delivered poorly, but I really like "A false coin for a false god."
