Vergil Devil May Cry - Tumblr Posts

So yknow how some people make it like Vergil can still hear V and Urizen seperately within himself, kinda like an angel/devil on his shoulder situation?

Yeah ive been thinking about that

V obviously wouldn't have any qualms about being back inside Vergil. Its what he wanted after all, its what he spent the whole of DMC 5 achieving.

Because of V now, Vergil can become less emotionally constipated to say the least. He recognizes vulnerability is a strength and that the people around him actually do want him around.

Urizen, however.. Urizen didn't want this. He wished to discard V entirely, humanity is what makes him weaker and all that bullshit. He would be furious to be back inside of Vergil again, to be mixed with humanity again and, therefore, made weaker.

I can imagine this manifesting as Vergil's demon side ending up harder to control. Maybe he DTs more often without meaning to, especially in the heat of battle where theres plenty of carnage and bloodshed to go around. Maybe he's more irritable than usual, especially toward humans he doesn't know (Lady? Kyrie? Nico? Some rando? Idk.)

Or maybe even, he has these strange urges to destroy everything he's worked so hard for, in realizing that power isn't the most important thing to gain in the world those deep-seeded desires to obtain it only get infinitely stronger, thanks to Urizen's newfound rage.

He can rationalize that these feelings and urges aren't logical of course, that they're just him adjusting to a new life or whatever, and he knows ruining everything now would be a stupid idea to say the least. But he just cant stop those thoughts from invading his mind on the daily. Like intrusive thoughts i guess.

Ill leave my thoughts there and others can expand on it if they want, but yeah...

Do you think Dante would have a role in helping Nero and Vergil have… an actual bond with each other?

Oh absolutely. They're both emotionally constipated, hard-headed, stubborn idiots (affectionate), and i dont really see them bonding on their own without Dante to aid at least in the start of their relationship.

Also adding in the fact that Dante has known Vergil and Nero a lot longer than they've ever known eachother, therefore he'd probably be a lot better at having them get along than they would themselves.

While yes, Vergil is much less closed off now post-V, he's still Vergil. And Vergil has always been a loner type, its a habit that's rooted much deeper than anything V could force out of him. He's just used to being on his own, its what he's known his entire life and its what he's used to, so i think without somebody to initiate interactions with him or even force him to actively socialize with everyone else around him (aside from Dante), he'd probably choose to avoid that 9 times out of 10.

That isn't to say that Nero and Vergil wouldn't have their moments on their own, however. As much as Vergil likes being alone, its apparent he doesnt want to abandon Nero entirely (the V book, and that menu screen where they're sitting together are evidence of this). He just struggles to show his affection, again he's been alone his entire life so it makes sense really. Its not that he doesn't want to, he just doesn't know how. Yet.

As they get to know eachother, as Vergil grows more comfortable with and more importantly, familiar with Nero as a person and as his son, i feel like he'd try more often to interact with him.

But yeah, in the earlier stages of their relationship - keep in mind Vergil has only properly known Nero for all of about 10 minutes. (Yes he knew him as V, but likely not much further past "that kid who had Yamato".) - Dante or Nero himself would likely be the ones initiating things with Vergil first.

Thinking about how Dante was willing to go through the trauma and grief of killing his brother again after he came back and did more bad shit because he didn’t want Nero to go through it and it hurts ;-; the writers make my sweetheart suffer so much and for what?

VERGIL   Devil May Cry 5

Yamato can casually cut through time and space in the right hands. does this mean Vergil can travel back and forth in time?

“Make haste, Dante.” Warm-up before work!

Do you think Vergil would eat pizza with olives just to piss off Dante?

Yes, but as soon as Dante isnt looking he spits them out because olives are nasty

also on my list of silly childhood things for the sparda twins, I think it would be funny if they had a habit of sticking their hands into fire because they like how warm it is, terrifying eva who at first doesn't realize her children are apparently partially fireproof, and later doesn't want to test just how fireproof they are.

How do you feel about the new anime after seeing the teaser? Are you excited, maybe nervous, even worried about the course the anime takes?

I don't think its a remake of the mangas, although the rabbit is a reference to the manga. How do you feel about that? (Honestly I don't mind, itd be nice to have more lore to obsess over. I mostly just want the characters to be done justice and to be characterised properly)

I am very excited, it looks pretty cool so far and i cant wait to see where it goes.

Like you said, i dont think its a remake of any one thing specifically, rather it seems to be taking elements from everywhere in the series all at once for its story and design. (Including the reboot apparently, considering Dante is wearing a necklace that's very close to Donte's necklace.)

Its going to be different, considering it seems to be taking elements from the written material as well (dmc 3 manga, maybe even the novels) more than the games themself, and we dont even know if its going to be canon to the series yet or just its own fun thing (i saw someone saying its in the same universe as castlevania?) But regardless, i still think its going to be absolutely amazing in its own right.

Now i am nervous about one thing: Who did they cast for Vergil.

Its been confirmed he's showing up. I personally cant imagine him as anybody else other than Daniel Southworth, so i hope they casted him for Vergil. If they didnt, then i can only hope that they casted someone just as good (and just as nasally /hj)

I also do think its interesting they cast Nero's dmc 5 VA for Dante. It will definitely take me a bit to get used to it once the anime comes out and im actually watching it, but i dont think its a bad decision by any means. He's a wonderful VA.

And i am very curious to find out who that female voice in the trailer was. At first i assumed it was Patty, but if the anime goes in a younger-dante direction then it wouldnt make sense because Patty wouldn't even exist at that point. My second thought was Lady, which would be amazing to have her show up again (and hopefully have more of a personality other than "dante you owe me money"), but my last thought - if the anime is taking most of its inspiration from the written dmc material - was Grue's daughters. I havent actually finished the dmc 1 novel so idk how true that could be but its a thought at least lol.

Overall i am very excited and the anime seems to be going well. Now we just have to hope expectations live up to reality lol.

Always love seeing what's going on with Vergil in you pfp

I have another cursed vergil image to set as my pfp in the future, but we gotta let the current one run its course first lol

I actually do think that Vergil's devil form in Devil May Cry 5 being an inferior imitation of Dante's Sin Devil Trigger makes sense.

While Vergil doesn't have a self-named devil sword like Dante does, it can be assumed that consuming the Qliphoth fruit gave him a comparable (but still inferior) power boost. And as a friend reminded me, demons are speculated to evolve based on what they desire, and one of the things Vergil wants most is to compete with Dante.

I just wish it actually looked like an inferior imitation of Dante's devil trigger. Because Vergil having what is, by all appearances, a canonical Sin Devil Trigger that doesn't play like a Sin Devil Trigger really bothers me. I think it should have looked more unique, like a standard Devil Trigger trying to disguise itself as something more.

Maybe he has a humanoid face, like Dante's standard devil trigger, but he's missing his eyelids, nose, and lips to give a somewhat skull-like appearance.

Since this "Psuedo-Trigger" is likely the result of the Qliphoth fruit, perhaps his body is covered in roots much like Urizen's was, to imitate the scales on Dante's Sin Devil Trigger. If not roots, maybe something with a more ghostly aesthetic, suggesting that his apparently equivalent power to Dante is an illusion. I'm reminded of the armor on Dante's Dreadnought form from Devil May Cry 4.

DMC Questions Anon here!

What sort of things would the DMC characters be into? What would their favorite medias be, who would their favorite characters be, their favorite dynamics, their favorite ships? Favorite things about it? Would they try and have any involvement in the fandom space online? If so, what sort of involvement?

Apologies for the late reply lol, got busy and forgot this ask was sent hejshhshd

Ill do them in order:

Dante: Well we know he's into smutty magazines and maybe even a bit of collecting, seeing how cluttered the office appears to be. This makes me thing he'd be into more retro things like old arcade machines, specifically those 1v1 combat games, and i can also see him reading old superhero comic books. (For anybody that knows the game, i can see him enjoying Dead or Alive too lmao)

He doesnt strike me as the sort to enter a fandom space and be an active participant, but i can imagine him enjoying discussing it with close friends like Lady/Nero or maybe even Trish. A casual enjoyer, i imagine he is.

Shipping too i feel like he'd try and be casual about... but we all know he secretly has an OTP that if they do not get together by the end of the series he will Lose It.

Vergil: Novels, poetry, theatre too. Also a secret Y/A novel enjoyer. By virtue of spending a good chunk of his life in the underworld and/or a bit disconnected from society while on the run as a kid, i imagine he isn't too well versed in fandom culture (does he even know what a fandom is?) But if prompted, would gladly yap to you for hours about his favourite literatures, the characters, the stories, etc. Enjoys all genres, but has a preference for darker themes and dark fantasy.

I dont think he'd be too into shipping, he strikes me as someone who'd rather analyse and break down his favourite media untill its shreds on the floor rather than pairing his favourites together. Dante despises when Vergil tries to get all analytical and point out broken physics on his favourite series when he's just trying to be a casual enjoyer lol (he secretly enjoys hearing his twin actually happy enjoying something for once, but would never admit that even over Eva's grave)

Nero: A total fandom nerd in his free time, mainly whatever TV shows were able to air in Fortuna and his favourite bands too. Can talk for hours about the intricate lore, the characters and the stories of his favourite media much like his father, however when it comes to analyzing stuff and deriving a deeper meaning from context clues, Nero would rather just enjoy things as they're presented to him. Strikes me as the type to mostly enjoy classic hero vs villian stories, and is a bit of a wimp with horror though he swears up and down he can handle it no problem.

Since Fortuna is pretty cut off from the outside world, and internet doesnt seem to be a very prominent thing in the DMC universe (if it even exists at all), i dont imagine he'd be too aware of larger fandom spaces. But i can see him having his own group of friends in Fortuna who share common interests with him, and they discuss the media together (possibly even friends from the Order or maybe even his time in the orphanage.)

Shipping, absolutely. Has multiple pairings and a few he depises for whatever reason, isnt too concerned about whats canon and whats not canon, and will gladly re-imagine the lore to suit his needs.

When it comes to his music, he will 100% make you a playlist or 5 of his favorite bands, what he things you'd like, what he recommends to try, and maybe even some he doesnt like just for fun. Much like me, Nero cannot live without his music.

For the others, ill do them kinda brief but i can expand on them if people wanna hear more:

Lady: Casual enjoyer of various media, mainly TV shows, but very much likes shipping and will happily debate over her pairings. Has a secret love for horror.

Trish: A bit like Vergil in the sense that she likes analyzing media and diving into the deeper meaning of everything. Likes shipping but less to pair cute couples, and more to explore various relationship dynamics and whatnot. Likes romance and cheesy stuff, but also really enjoys some darker genres sometimes too.

Nico: The kind of person who has to get into the physics and realism of everything in her favorite media, pointing out what does and doesnt make sense both within the fictional world and their "real world", and loves pointing out references to things whenever she can. Also takes inspiration from various media for her creations. Most of her favorite genres might be considered childish, but that just makes them even cooler to her.

Kyrie: A sucker for a good romance novel, she says she's just a casual enjoyer and not that deep into the fandom, but she has cried when her OTP didnt get together by the end of the book.

Lucia: Dumary seems pretty dead so i dont think theres much going on there to get into fandom-wise, but if Lucia were to get into something i imagine she'd enjoy watching rom-coms with Kyrie and Trish, the three of them debating their favourite pairs and laughing at all the cheesy moments. Much like Kyrie, she's a sucker for a good romance plot.

saw a pic of a piece of pizza with bones in it on twitter today and i was very inspired to make a dumb little comic about it ft. the dmc gang. just a very normal gang of people finding out that there’s bones in their pizza 🍕

TWIIIIN 😍😍😍
