[@omorinintendoswitchedition]

@@lilywong9672 it looks more like the DT form he has in 5 to me

[@My2Cents.iF7934]

The spectral Devil Trigger in 4 is Nero's unawakened form being projected by the Devil Bringer (his demonic arm) and powered by Yamato. When Vergil reclaims Yamato after ripping off his son's arm, the katana retained the spectral projection ability from the Devil Bringer, which allowed Vergil to use the Doppelganger ability. When Nero awakened his Devil Trigger in DMC5, he regained his spectral projection ability after tapping into his true power, allowing him to summon spectral swords, Mirage Yamato, and spectral wyvern arms to perform Buster attacks and Snatch/Bound abilities again. The actual design of the DT form is like a cross between Credo Angelo's devil form and the Savior, and the DMC5 version is almost angelic in appearance with the addition of the wings on Nero's shoulders.

[@Falconwing66]

There’s a manga called Visions of V that gives more detail as to V’s perspective and memories through the events of the game. There’s no official translation but there are easily accessible fan translations. It’s is a fantastic read that expands on the story and V’s feelings.

[@ariqsyafwan4987]

After reading and finishing that manga, i'm seriously wishing if there will be another DMC game (and there better f**king be) then V could return somehow, preferebly as an artifical demon created by Vergil himself (just like how Mundus created Trish in Eva's image), so that way V could be an entirely different being than Vergil but will still retain his old personalities and trait... i dunno, just a thought

[@ariqsyafwan4987]

@Quốc Thắng Lê Kỳ That's why i say an "artificial demon", or a demon construct that resembles V and posses his memoriez

[@amberanime]

@Quốc Thắng Lê Kỳ I mean vergil had quite some power ups this game, including eating that damn fruit. He may be able too. I doubt he will though. Vergil would have no reason to make a replica of his human half. Even less so if that doesn't equal the actual V comming back and being his own person ala KH. If the V look alike is just a new character, it's not V. And Vergil has no reason to go down that route. I would love V to come back as he's my favorite character. But I think there are better story ways to acomplish this, like Vergil splitting himself for some purpose again, or vergil learning to shift between his 3 forms so sometimes he is V, sometimes Urizen, sometimes Vergil (but in full control of himself every time). Could be fun to shift between the 3 forms during combat as well.

[@krypto1738]

Fun fact: Artemis, the second boss (not counting prologue Urizen and the Qlipoth roots), is the demon form of the gun that you get in DMC3 with the same name. When Urizen beat the crap outta Trish, Lady and Dante, he took the ladies and used them as the cores of artificially constructed demons. Artemis was based around the Devil arm and used Lady as its core since Artemis is a gun and Lady is the best with guns, while Cavaliere Angelo used Trish as its core and gained electrical powers based on Trish's own. (Angelos are basically artificially made demons created when a soul is placed inside of a demonic body like a AA battery inside of a TV remote. Based on Nelo Angelo and Cavliere Angelo, an Angelo will gain abilities relative to the powers of the soul that powers them, hence Cav's lighting and Nelo's Vergil-like powers.)

[@wickedspartan4777]

The comic goes more in depth in the significance of this battle. What makes this fight more sad between the Griffin, Shadow, and Nightmare is they willing did this because they were going to die anyways seeing the willing separated themselves from Vergil, but wanted to go out on their own terms. They knew they couldn't beat Dante, but wanted to test him to see if he was worthy of Vergil. The grew fond of V with all the time they spent together, and seeing they were born of his nightmares of being tortured by Mundus, they didn't want to go back to Vergil to rid him of his nightmares. And if you didn't know this: Shadow, Nightmare, and Griffin are the reincarnated bosses of the first DMC game. The music that was playing was from the original DMC soundtrack when you fought the bosses. When they were reincarnated, Phantom was also, however he was so evil and full of hatred that V and the rest teamed up against him to kill him. That's why the Phantom isn't one of V's familiars.

This game sets up so many awesome mechanics to be used in DMC 6. Lady and Trish for example could both retain a spark of their demon forms, giving them unique Devil Trigger mechanics: Lady's hair turns white and she sprouts a set of Artemis' wings, letting her hover at full sprint speed while using her guns, which would make her skill set much more versatile. Plus she may have a more organic looking version of the Artemis weapon that form was created from. Trish on the other hand lost her main weapon with the Sparda fusing into Dante, so she may be able to summon the Cavaliere Angelo's lighting sword. It even has a lance form to extend the range of her version of the Stinger move. Adding some chain lightning effects and charge attacks can help distinguish her set more from Dante's as well. As her DT she may then summon parts of the Angelo armor - maybe even a Sin-DT-like form that turns her into a full size version of the boss (though looking more like her). Also I'm really hoping for a mid-game boss fight that's set in the demon realm, where you have to knock out Dante and Vergil to recruit them, because they have completely lost themselves in their fight. The arena is basically a giant dust bowl with limited visibility - since at this point their battle has reduced everything in a huge radius to ashes, which are constantly kicked up again. Both are in their full demonic form and just keep instinctively battling each other, neither getting an edge over the other before they recover. As an interruption, both turn their attention to the player instead, and you have to fight them both. With one caveat: As long as either is still standing, the other will eventually get back up again. So you have to make sure you whittle them down somewhat equally to knock them out faster than they can recover. This could also be a good point to allow Trish to recover the discarded Cavaliere. Since it originates as part of her demon form, that may be the catalyst that unlocks her fully armored DT...

My fav fight in DMC 5 is the fighter against Griffon, Shadow and Nightmare - I'm not sure if you knew this but they were all notorious enemies from DMC 1: *SPOILERS INCOMING* 1) Shadow was a hell of an enemy and one of the most iconic mobs in the game, 2) Griffon was the massive lightning bird boss fight that you fought in the Castle Garden after getting Ifrit and a few times after that, 3) Nightmare was the big blob you fought in the Castle's Chapel and later in the Underworld after Trish lures you to it When Griffon says it's "the end of Virgils Nightmares", he means that they were all spawned from Virgil's lingering emotions as his time as Nelo Angelo in DMC 1, all the pain and suffering he felt being a slave to Mundus, all his anguish and sorrow spawned those 3 to serve as his familiars while he's V; the three of them knew that as long as they existed, Virgil could never move on from his nightmares of his time as a slave, so they sacrificed themselves for him. The emotional stakes in that fight are intense, and if you ever get the chance I highly recommend reading the "Visions of V" manga, it goes into a lot of detail regarding just how close those little guys get to V, especially Griffon and Shadow, and it makes their sacrifice for him so much more impactful, at first they wanted just to survive, but at the very end they knew that the only way for their master to be at peace was to die...

[@TrueNoirChloeMoko]

Quick notes: V's book is actually William Blake poems, and you can actually find and read the full poems instead of the small snippets that V quotes. He mostly quotes from Proverbs of Hell, but his most interesting and true line at the moment was his introduction to Dante with A Infant's Joy: "I have no name. I am but 2 days old." Since at that time, *spoilers* he was born 2 days prior because of the split between him and Urizen from Vergil. Also when there are split paths in the game, you are in a link mission where someone else is playing that mission from a different character's pov: example: Nero's 4 and V's 5 are connected, Prologue is connected with 10 where you come in shortly after Dante. And even the one where you can choose to be 1 of the 3 other characters, you actually will see whoever chose to be those 3 proceed with their own mission and will either finish it before you or die and have to start over and you may get done before they return. The link missions' other people will show up on the side when it's an actual person playing that character, and even show their emblem. I am abit sad that you cut off the part where V actually has a bad reaction to seeing the Proto Nelo knights on the sliding Theater boss battle as that points even more to V being Vergil and having a very bad memory from being Nero/Nelo Angelo, since that was when Vergil was under the control of Mundus. Even V's Familiars are pulled from Vergil's memories of when he was under Mundus's control since those 3 are enemies from the first game, with Griffon and Nightmare both being bosses while Shadow is just a regular enemy.

19:51 fun fact: The last time Vergil saw Lady, she was crying her eyes out in the library leading to Arkham.

[@lost_to_time.]

V is pretty cool...sadly, on higher difficulties, his damage is highly lacking. So the veterans of the game absolutely despise V due to his weaknesses, despite that being an important plot point.

[@marziy7698]

Agreed, hes really fun on SOS but he just isnt viable on anything past that lmao (aside from hoh)

[@vSIG_]

theres that along with his moveset is really limited compared to the other 3 and his mechanics while experamental, do end up feeling a bit clunky and gimmicky. Him being weak in the plot really dosent need to nor should it really line up with him in gameplay as it really contradicts every playable characters moveset and gameplay since DMC1.

[@terrencenoran3233]

It was very obvious Nero was Vergil's kid. Every time Nero speaks, I'm just like, "HOW?! HOW IS THIS GENETIC?!"

[@ariqsyafwan4987]

Nero being Vergil's spawn is quite literally one of the, if not THE worst kept secret in videogames history and yet a good chunks of people still got baby-gender-reveal kind of surprised when the reveal came

[@krypto1738]

Fun fact: In the Bloody Palace, Goliath has a few different voicelines for when you stagger him, one of which happens to be, "*roars in pain* My balls!!" This is not a joke, its an actual thing. Another fun fact: Balrog, the fire gloves/boots, is a demon that Dante fought prior to the events of the game. After they fought, Balrog realized that he wasn't strong enough to beat Dante and decided to become a devil arm, that way Dante could use him and Balrog could get stronger so that they could eventually have a rematch. According to some scrapped voiclines, actually Balrog wanted to himself to be a boss ingame, so I'd say that a Dante v. Balrog fight is due for DMC 6.

[@Therudicle2]

I love watching fans first reaction to the twists of DmcV. Such a great game. 10/10

[@smokerxluffy]

I really didn't believe Woolie and Pat when they said chicks love guys like V, but goddamn, every female streamer just keeps proving them right lol

[@krypto1738]

So according to the lore, the reason that Dante starts each game without the devil arms he got in the last game is that he sells his devil arms after each game is over. A demon becomes a devil arm through one of two ways: The main way is that the demon is killed and their opponent takes their soul as a weapon bearing their name. Since they're dead, the demon's consciousness is gone and their soul will forever be in the form of a weapon, as is the case with devil arms like Cavaliere, King Cerberus, and Beowulf. The other way is that the demon surrenders and relinquishes their soul willingly to their opponent. When this happens, the demon retains consciousness since it's not dead, and is merely in the form of a weapon. That's why you can hear Balrog's voice when Dante uses his attacks. When you use Nevan in DMC3, you're strumming the strings of a living electric guitar (which I can only assume feels quite pleasurable to Nevan herself, if ya know what I mean). But living devil arms can still turn back into their normal demon forms. So if Nevan was still alive in DMC 3, and Dante sold all his devil arms at the end of game, that begs the question: ??What the hell happened to Nevan??

i usually don't watch videos longer than 15 minutes or write comments more than 2 words, but not gonna lie, i really had a blast watching all 5 of your DMC journey vids. I myself picked up these games recently and i have to say they are GOATED! nice, V and DMC V for the win!

[@generic_sauce]

I genuinely love that ending! We see Vergil actually getting along with Dante! Not only does he drop his "tough guy" voice briefly, but we see him genuinely smile when he says "we've got plenty of time" 😄

[@wren7195]

LOL couldn't tell exactly if that wiggle of excitement at 30:20 was over learning who V was or seeing him naked :P "If he doesn't call me scum, then I don't want it." "PLEASE call me scum. It's all I ask." "Are you gonna call me scum or naaaahhhut....?" "WAIT he called me scum and I MISSED IT!?" ......WHAT!? (I'm only saying that for those who've never played 3. Ah context, my old friend) I'm an old woman now, I was 19 when the first DMC came out. Watching it go from the team on RE4 to what it's become has been glorious, I matured on the series. Despite what everyone said about 4, I quite loved the Dante portions (the updated ports for 3 are because of that, and I'm grateful. Watching devs learn what can be done and gamers exploit it is joyful) but wasn't hyper-keen on Nero... but the tone? I enjoyed the tone. DMC Devil May Cry with Donte was a good game, more basic, great fun.... but it didn't respect the original series, and I didn't appreciate it. Enjoyed it for what it was and moved on, never expected to see Tony Redgrave ever again, sadly. Then someone, somewhere, decided to write a love letter.

[@LimeyTherapist]

was so fun seeing a properly blind run after I completely spoiled myself before playing super recently

[@strelitziamystery21]

I can't believe the amazing character arc Kyrie went through. Her character model had the best glow up too! (Of course I'm joking)

[@ariqsyafwan4987]

To be honest one of the most commom criticism for DMC 4 is how annoyingly obnoxious Kyrie was and how her presence kinda dumb down Nero's personality cause all that people saw was how much of a beta simp he is for her, so personally i really like how they sidelines her sooooo much in this game while not erasing her existance entirely

[@sparrow_solas]

@@ariqsyafwan4987 She was never shown on camera likely because she is pregnant.

[@pokemonsonicgirl123]

Ria-nearts and Emy-San has the best 3D renderings on DeviantART if you want to satiate your tastes.

[@pokemonsonicgirl123]

​@@sparrow_solasI say she was late into her pregnancy and gave birth to her and Nero's child after the main story.

[@librarybear3419]

...I had no Idea that Nero can do from-air-Buster to Vergil! I knew of three other busters against him (Impalement, skullcracker and catch&suplex), Congratulations for finishing with style!

[@mikeclark7026]

You probably figured this out by now since you beat the game and stuff, but when V says that was the only way he could wake him up, he’s 100% being real. He wasn’t trying to kill him there, he really did understand the only way to wake Dante up would be attempt to kill him with one of Sparda’s devil arms, as his body would send the weapon and danger. And obviously Yamato and Rebellion weren’t available at the time.

[@sharingansasuke5]

I’m so glad you loved devil May cry! Watching you play these has given me so much joy.

[@andrebastos3785]

Vergil has daddy status confirmed. He always was my favorite boi

[@jakepearce7776]

V for me always just felt like they looked at Genesis from Crisis Core and thought "how do we turn that into a likeable character?" but somehow they actually managed it. I know he's not "technically" dead but... I lowkey hated it when the true Vergil came back 😅

[@NeloBladeOfRanni]

Feel like they did the same with Nico. Took Cindy from FF15 and made her a actual character

The way he slices into another dimension strongly, STRONGLY reminds me of what Clea did at the end of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. 43:34

[@Vugtis_El_VillaVODS]

Yeah, the devs of DMC5 were also surprised on how the actor, they got for V, resembled Kailo Ren

[@VladivskyJr]

[@Weaver0x00]

Man do I love devil may cry. The fifth game was the greatest gift ever for me, both when it was announced and when it released. But goddamn is the story shallow in the last two games :DD Main characters in 4th like Credo and Kyrie got much less time and personality than they deserved. And the hole plot of the 5th game revolves around Vergil wanting to revert his decaying state, which caused Urizen to appear which kickstarted the events of the game and all the destruction and deaths which led to his resurrection and at the end he's gotta go and fix the mess of his own creation. Also the "if I beat Nero I beat you, agreed?" logic level of a 10 year old child, also Nero becoming the most powerful damn thing in the game's universe after a phone call :DD Hope to christ the next game keeps the same level of gameplay complexity and adds a better storyline.

[@matthewcorrie3324]

My favorite part about V is that all his familiars are demons you fight in DMC1 Gryphon (AKA Mr. Flock off Feather Face), Shadow (Ake those shapeshifting cats) and finally Nightmare (AKA Mr. Blob Boss)

[@awonddy]

Finally been waiting for this!!

[@Oshaoxin]

The whole game Nero took the word 'deadweight' as deadweight. Demon hybrids need tough love to evolve so it seems

[@FunGuy02626]

This game was short but so worth it and very fun. Playing V was too easy that's why some people saying sh*t like that 😆😅. Don't mind them. Just play the way you want 😁👍

[@keigoftw]

Fun Facts: there's a very good reason they look older, their faces are modeled on their actors. Particularly the same people who've been their motion capture models & voice actors since 3. If Vergil feels familiar, that's because he was the Quantum Rangers in Power Rangers Time Force (good season if your looking to get into PR btw). In fact they both worked on it, though Dante's actor worked as a stunt double. But yeah, Daniel Southworth (Vergil) & Reuben Langdon were 46 & 44 respectively at the time this game was released.

[@CrazeeAdam]

Lol Sarah falling in love with V was so funny to me. Unsure if it was answered but pretty sure Vergil had an illicit affair with a priestess from Nero's home city.. Or its heavily implied when he was wounded he was nursed back to health by a priestess and they yeah lol.
