It also neatly punctuates what Nero said to Sanctus in DMC4 over how the latter didn't get strength from the sword Sparda because he lacked love, and here, it's enough to let Nero get a full on Devil Trigger. The factor that his first reaction is to get them to not kill each other, which also happens to awaken his actual Devil Trigger, it wouldn't be so far a stretch to say that Nero's Devil Trigger, as it was with Kyrie, was born from The Power of Love for his biological family. Not just the family of Kyrie and Credo, but an actual biological family of his father, Vergil, and his uncle, Dante.

In a way, the factor that one of the first things that Nero brings up to Kyrie is that he might have a family.

Dante's not gonna die here, and neither are you. Vergil: *Laughs* Ahh, you came all this way just for that. I'm putting a stop to this sibling rivalry. There are other ways of settling your differences. Dante even gives a somewhat heartfelt and funny farewell to Griffon as he's the last to fade away. The reason they're fighting Dante now is basically a mix of ensuring Dante will have a warm-up before dealing with Vergil, and committing Suicide by Cop so Vergil won't have to live with the trauma he endured. Before the fight, Griffon essentially notes they're aware that they're living representations of Vergil's trauma while he was Nelo Angelo.

Right before Dante gets to Vergil, he has to fight against V's, or rather Vergil's, familiars Griffon, Shadow and Nightmare.

This is especially poignant when you consider that Lady has had her own share of daddy issues. Though she tries her best, an angered Nero flies out from the van to stop this sibling rivalry.

After getting saved by the girls, Lady tries to cheer up Nero, who just learned that the one responsible for all this mess is none other than Vergil, his father.

Doubles as as Tear Jerker, since Dante has had to kill Vergil before and probably knows first-hand what it's like to have to put down family for the greater good.

Dante's reason for telling Nero to stay out of the fight with Urizen/Vergil? He doesn't want Nero to have the guilt and trauma of having to kill his own father.

Can't believe any of this is still standing. Dante puts on a strong face and is a never ending fountain of one liners for most of the game, but one of the few times he shows his softer side is when dealing with the partner that's been with him the longest.ĭante: Holy shit.

It's incredibly brief, but after Dante saves Trish, he asks her if she's okay and then when she tries to tell him the truth about Urizen, he tells her not to think about it and to just rest instead.Given how some of Vergil's character was made from his mother's death, it's nice to see that he at least cares about Trish's existence as well. It's later shown that Trish was trapped inside as a Living Battery. There's also how when he meets the Elder Geryon Knight, he denotes that he knows what it really is and will be gentle with it.Not to mention Vergil also witnessed how Arkham pierced Lady's leg with her own weapon. V saying 'I'm glad to see you look so well.' to Lady is quite sweet when considering the fact that the last time Vergil saw her, she was dejectedly sobbing to herself in the Temen-ni-gru's library.And even though he hangs up the phone and disconnects it, wanting out of the birthday party, it's not because he doesn't want to spend time with her, but because he wants to celebrate it with her in private because he feels he's a bit of a freak. She's apparently been trying to get Dante so he could attend her 18th birthday party, and sounds overjoyed at being able to chat to him again. It's somewhat heartwarming that one of the things that still carried over from the anime is Patty.For a game that is about killing demons as stylishly as possible, there are still moments that can even make a devil cry out of happiness.
