Just a heads up before some of you ask! Yes I did not using bury the light during the DMCV section and that is because capcom have been DMCAing people who have used it x_x so for the sake of this video going up i have sadly been forced to cut it D: Regardless enjoy and If you enjoyed this and wish to see more let me know down below :)
Is Dante and Nero next????
Really enjoyed your video as i too enjoy the Devil May Cry series.
Would really like to see History of Dante
Yo! History behind the warrior, long time fan of your vids. Like most, if not all, of your fellow views and fans I am all for new franchises getting highlighted. Yet I do have to wonder, will you ever return to the darkstalkers franchise and finish the history of their characters? I understand there isn't much lore around capcom's criminally underrated fighting game equal to streetfighter, but it's for completion sake.
Is ok
Nero’s mom: I’m pregnant Vergil: *I AM THE STORM THAT IS ESCAPING*
*EVADING! PARENTAL OBLIGATION!*
I am the changer of name!!!!
LIFE IN FLAMES
I am in debt!
MY CHILD SUPPORT IS THE DEMON OF DEATH
I feel like Nero's mom saw Vergil and was like "He has the face of the savior. I want to have his baby."
Vergil: im no savior but i also got a long sword like him if you know what i mean
@@ineedmorecarrots6063 😂😂🙏
Vergil is also a savior he even fights demons even if his a demon too.
It's actually surprising thing that Nero's Mother somehow got Vergil's attention, especially in his mental shape (feelings of guilt, hatred upon himself, PTSD, probably even insomnia). When Vergil actually remembered her, looks, instead, very naturally. Because he's the elder son, he has responsibility.
@@ineedmorecarrots6063 Judgement nut. Fastest pregnancy ever.
I love how Vergil’s plan literally has no downsides, Urizen, bud demon half, is only focused on gaining power, which works in Vergil’s interest. If Urizen is killed, then V gets to live as a human, with a new life, a new perspective, and all is well, and when they inevitably merge, Urizen’s power hunger will have given Virgil a shit ton of power he’ll never know the consequences of, as those buffs are made for demons. Ughhh genius
Wasent v decaying because he didn't have his demon side?..
@@andrewcruzsmith2343 Yeah but Virgil didn't know that at the time so I would say it did have a downside just one he didn't know about it
Fun Fact: Daniel Southworth, Vergil's voice actor is the actor for the Quantum Ranger in Power Rangers Time Force. Vergil son, Nero, is voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch, who was a Power Ranger in the 90s.
So what Vergil seek is the Power of Ranger lol
And Reuben Langdon was a stuntman for PR Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, and Wild Force.
What
@@darkstardarin Nooo way, i love it
@@darkstardarin not just that,Reuben also starr in B-Fighter Kabuto(japanese version Bettleborg) as one of the main heroes.
Sparda went to buy cigarettes, and never came back.
No he went to buy milk
Vergil did the same
@@valiant8248 like father, like son
Milk, i went for a milk, ok?
@@nightingale1202 This guy knows the truth.
Keep in mind Vergil can break the fatherless cycle. Every member of Devil May Cry has father issues. Nero still has his father so I hope that we can see those two connect.
That would actually make me really happy with that relationship.
Lucia, trish, lady, 🤣
@@H_Eevee they need to make a dmc game about all the bastard kids dante has 🤣 He MUST have kids There is no way a dude like him isnt clapping cheeks when he isnt hunting demons 🤣
Imagine dmc 6 is about Dante and Vergil discovering what actually happened to their dad
@@hotto-dogu5829 That is an AMAZING idea, that would be lit af
Vergil also accepted his humanity, another reason why he’s more powerful
He rejected his humanity all the way until dmc5 after v merges back with urizen iirc
@@louiesatterwhite3885 I think that's exactly what they meant XD
The fact that the familiars who represented his pain, trauma and sorrow finally abandoned him on their own contributed it even further
Accepting humanity doesn't grant power, it just makes him more at ease with himself.
@@Number-bj1yn that too.
Vergil never mentioned or feel abandoned/betray by his mother. That's Dante interpretation/viewpoint. He actually feels powerless/guilt for the death of his mother. That's what drive him.
Read visions of V
Agreed! That sense of powerlessness unites Vergil and Nero.
Its one of the things I really disliked about DMC5 I understand that Vergil is best known as the peak of a rival character but the thing I always loved about their relationship was how friendly it was despite them being completely different in goals. Making Vergil in 5 just be butt hurt about losing to Dante and thinking that Eva didn’t love him as much as Dante really sucks its really just waters his interesting personality and speech about power from seemingly being Vergil angred by his own weakness and inability to save his family (also hence why he seemingly purposely activated Dante’s devil form) instead of just killing him. Now he’s just jealous of Dante being cooler than him
It can be both.
@@Redbee-nl3kw dumbest thing I read
Lmao anyone else noticed how he said the netherrealm? He been covering mk so long he can't tell the difference between hell's anymore
Netherealm is kind of a general term for hell anyway Buut I do see where you're at. Hell just has so many names man while Heaven has one (as far I know)
S T A L K E R [ZackDen] what about Asgard
Ecchi Kun You’re on the right track, but that isn’t exactly right. That’s basically Norse heaven, not Abrahamic heaven. The Norse gods were said to have resided in Asgard. The God everyone knows about is in heaven. Although, I’m not an expert on Norse mythology so Asgard could actually be something completely different, but Asgard and Heaven are definitely two different things.
@@stalkerzackden3297 what about Paradise, Nirvana, Valhalla?
Nether is just another word for "low".
2:38 i never imagined of vergil making this face
Power Stone: *exists* Vergil: A fine edition to my M o t i v a t i o n
@usama yala tf its Vergil
Vergil stomps thanos
@@yeagerbomb5135 some versions he defeats thanos but there are some he cannot defeat
@@sonicelimario2892 I was being sarcastic but it’s possible
@@sonicelimario2892 thanos with the gauntlet? This reminds me a lot of that meme
"Don't you say it!-" "Jackpot!"
"Why you gotta leave me hanging, we used to love saying that!
@@idoitforthememes6011 "I have no recollection."
Vergil is one of the greatest lancer character's ever conceived. A lancer is basically the edgy alternate protagonist that's usually a rival/ dark reflection of the protagonist ie Vegeta and Sasuke, Killmonger etc.
Those were always my favourite characters for some reason. Also Seto Kaiba from Yu-gi-oh
So what would you call the reverse of that? The protag is the edgy one and the rival is the goofy dick, like Jetstream Sam
Or Shadow the hedgehog
Dark Warrior Archetype
You'll find plenty characters of that kind in Gundam Series
"The sins of the father" *metal gear solid playing in the background*
raiden whenever a boss fight: *intense jamming*
*snake eater starts playing
I would say that Vergil's still showing Dante a lot of affection in the new ending. That's just how he talks. Plus he's still processing everything including that epic suplex Nero did to readjust his old man spine.
I’ve never clicked a video so fast in my life. Vergil is my favorite brother between him and Dante.
Same bro
Same. Vergil is my fav. But im biased against him due to all the times dante was shoved in my face. But ppl dont notice they combined the two brothers into Nero.
Yes. My channel is pretty much him in UMVC3.
@@sloanreeder90 if people don't notice that then idk if they ever played the game. Dt more power Nero says. His lock on forward attacks are the same. His combo b which raises him higher in the air is basically the same as vergils. Then he taunts like dante. Makes slight sexual jokes like dante "Oh yeah looking good baby make love to the camera" taunt.
Didn't Dante recognize him the moment he took his helmet off, which is why he stops messing around and becomes serious? And he also threw away his scabbard when he charged at Mundus, something he never does at any other point to my knowledge, suggesting he knew he would fail.
No he didn't recognize him not until he disappeared in blue fire and his amulet fall down which dante was certain it was for his brother vergil as nelo angelo unlike all other demons he doesn't fight dirty and don't do tricks and for mundus well that's because he was the reason for dante suffering like he killed his mother,made his twin brother someone who cares about nothing but getting more powerful regardless of the costs,always send demons to attack him which ruined his social life with people in the town,made trish in eva image to get him emotionally just to betray him and break his heart,brainwashed his brother so he can become his servent like mundus gone to the point where he is using his family against him so ofc not only dante but anyone in his place will be at mad at him
@@rubydancer4241 Ah bro I didn't say vergil did those stuff I said it was mundus and all of the horrible stuff that happened to vergil and dante was because of mundus I'v never said it was vergil and I know he send demons after vergil as well but the difference that dante had some friends and nico grandmother(sry forgot her name)who dante viewed her as his mother but lost them all and I know that gilver is just a copy of vergil just like how trish is copy of eva like literally most your points is my points up there
I think the reason why dante reacted like that is because he encounter Gilver(a clone made by Mundus) so he thought it was another clone but when he sees the necklace, dante realize it was indeed his brother and once again he lost him and that's how dante was so depressed in DMC 2 throughout the anime series until he meet Nero in DMC 4
I would like to see more sparda's back story in DMC6.
And the guy who played Gara of the Sands should voice Sparda, its just too perfect a fit.
@Anthony Floyd I am patient, but it would be cool to finally see Sparda and Mundus in their prime, see what made him turn on his kind. They could add in new gamely elements, like co-op, open world, new demonic weapons, new factions. I'm cool with mystify Sparda to a point, but as it stands we don't even know if he's dead or not its never been confirmed, and if it was we don't know how it happened.
@Anthony Floyd DMC5 only came back because Itsuno would leave the company if they didn't let him to. However, since it sold INCREDIBLY well, there is no doubt that DMC6 is probably already green lighted and may come in the following years.
@@Mord12gp please not an open world devil may cry 😭😭😭 We are tired of seing open worlds everywhere And the one who said devil may cry 6 would came out in 2030 stop weed because the 5 was a great success and now we have the next gen came out be sure DMC 6 will coming soon on ps5 and Xbox Series In one or two years maybe three ^^
Sure dude ! Wait another 10 more years! And u will get sequel
"Might controls everything..."
...and without strength you cannot protect anything, let alone yourself!
Vergil needs his own game so bad.
He does. With a good story.
Vergil May Cry
@@denglong7180 and with a twist that Dante is the hidden character
Dante Must Die
he is too op for the game.. seriously, if the dev nerf him then he wouldn't be fun anymore
... You guys really want that Dante one dont you :O thank you for the support goddamn
Yes I do want a Dante one and a Nero one. Also read visions of V
Fun fact : u forgot to pin this
Ima new sub and I was looking for it
“Is *POWER* an instrument?” No Vergil, *POWER* is not an instrument.
Vergil: **raises his arm again** Dante: Neither your son's arm.
"MOTIVATION is not an instrument either"
For some reason, I was thinking Vergil saying “I need more Quantum Power”.
I really like how both Vergil and Dante accepted their other side in the end. In Vergil's case his human side and in Dante's case his Devil side. Now all we need is a sequel where Dante and Vergil work together to kick Mundus' ass (especially Vergil cuz y'all know what he did to him). And this time it would not be in a shitty reboot, man can't wait to see Vergil judgment cut that fucker.
True, mundus is still to come back, and Dante is still to have a son
@@liviekumori I don't really see Dante having a son tbh
Not a shitty reboot
Imagine this. Mundus returns and emerges in the human world. Nero tries to fight him but eventually his sword and gun are knocked out his hands. As Mundus reaches down to finish him off, we hear the distinct sound of a judgement cut, causing Mundus to flinch from pain, then to reveal Vergil standing there, unwilling to let his son go through what he did.
@@Prince__Teclis and then maybe Mundus thought that Vergil would come so he planted a trap, but before it could hit Vergil, Dante shot it with Ebony and Ivory. And I'd be amaizing if the both of them ended the fight with both of them saying "Jackpot!" Like they did in DMC 3
"Where did you learn to count?!"
"We're even!"
Quick correction: you keep calling the order the Order of Light. I don't know about the anime or manga, but in the games the antagonists of DMC4 is called the Order of the Sword.
Urizen: I am without a name. I am POWER! Absolute.
V: I have no name, I am but three days old
Since you've done Virgil I wouldn't mind you doing a History of Dante video. can't do one Son of Sparda without the other.
It's not that different of a story just a different perspective
Yep.
vErgil*
I agree
I think the games explain Dante pretty well especially dmc 5
Vergil is my favorite. Especially he uses his Yamato. It's definitely dope.
A missed opportunity was if Vergil could use both Urizen and V's power at the same time with his own.
He's already way OP , if they would add what you suggested there's no point playing the game
17:15 "Devil May Cry is a very special game to me" I feel the exact same way, I grew up with this game with my first one being dmc3. I love the dmc fandom SOO much and I am happy to be able to share similar experiences and memories about a franchise we all hold so dear to our hearts ❤
And just like that the entire subscriber base of History Behind the Warrior became motivated
The storm is approaching
@@nathancarabajal8271 provoking black clouds of isolation
Me seeing Vergil's name: *I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING*
*PROVOOOOOKING BLACK CLOUDS IN ISOLATION*
*I AM RECLAIMER OF MY NAAAAME*
BORN IN FLAME! I HAVE BEEN BLESSED!
I want to know when and how Dante himself discovered that he was an uncle.
It's when he saw how Vergil's sword reacted to Nero
@@TyTrovy he probably had suspicions from the opening fight of DMC 4, the yamato's reaction just confirmed it for him.
Dante say it, when he first saw and fought nero at the church he noticed the ressemblance with his brother and the fact he got a devil bringer ( who is literally physical manisfestation of having 1/4 of demon blood ) and when he rematch his nephew and saw how the yamato have reacted to nero he knew only vergil's son can reforge yamato that's why he call nero deadweight to prevent him to try to kill his father because dante knew by expérience that people cant kill his father and live with it ( lady said she never came back from killing Arkham ) Dante often plays dumb but he is smart, and if his personnality was a litlle more serious he could guess V's plan to reunite with himself by himself or maybe by taking time to listening trish
Its basically implied in the DMC 4 story that Dante knew all along, I mean who else had white hair in their teens other than his Brother.
Imagine Dante knew Nero is his nephew: "Oh damn, Vergil have a sex?"
This was a great video. Almost makes me like Vergil. Then I remember him in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 and think f*ck him 😂😂😂
Don't hate the player, hate the Game.
@@SuperFusionAJ93 so you're a Vergil main. I hate you. (not really. But then really.)
@@Yawdan What I meant is it's not Vergil's fault, Just saying Marvel 3 is hella busted in general.
Thank You HBTW for bringing up Devil May Cry content. The Sons of Sparda have always been my favorite video game characters of all time.
Actually they had met before the events of devil may cry 3 bit before a year.
Yeah he mentioned it ;) it took place in the comic book ;)
A friend told me this. Nelo Angelo's was originally Nero Angelo which is italian for black angel but since the asian abcent turns the R into an L people now know as Nelo Angelo.
Better than "Nero Angero"
You shouldn’t limit yourself to just the fighting genre when there are so many badass warriors in other types of games to tell the tales of. Great video. Makes me want to pick up dmc 5 now.
Thank you for making this! I don't have time to play all the games, this answered my questions perfectly. I look forward to more DMC content.
I have been waiting for a video like this. Vergil has always been my absolute favorite. I have had a hard time finding more info besides the generic description of the game plots. Thank you, sir.
How i love this channel for covering my favorite fiction character
I'm very glad to hear that devil may cry 5 got you into the series and I'm especially happy about this video! You did a very good job detailing the history of the V man and as always, it is fun to hear and learn about DMC lore, even if the stories are to quote some people Capcom fun stupid. Great job and I really hope to see some more of these types of videos based on game characters!
6:05 actually, it has just been a year. Because one year before temen ni gru dante met vergil, dressed in a green suit and Bandage around the face. Vergil called himself gilver that time
Gilver get retcon by Capcom and change his identy as another Angelo's.
@@sulthanarya3281 Did they really? Damn those books really made the story flow well
@@ThaKillFeed yeah thats a good thing, if they stick to Kamiya story which doesn't get retcon, Vergil should be dead before the DMC 3 and DMC 1 events since Dante killed him.
Great video but I'd have liked a little mention that Vergil's nightmares stay outside of his body instead of going back so that Vergil could live with less PTSD this time. Also the fact Nero fought him to end the sibling rivalry so the brothers would stop trying to kill each other.
I think why Vergil accepting his humanity causes a power surge is because think of it like this: power for the sake of power is meaningless while power with the *motivation* to protect loved ones is truly zenith.
They began their rivalry when kid vergil wants more chocolate and wants dante's chocolate even he got his own
Man, this was a blast to watch! I believe you when you said you had fun making this, cause it shows. While DMC might not be a fighting game, it is probably as close as you're gonna get. I love this series so much, and hope to see more DMC content on this channel in the future.
Well done on this buddy I love me some mortal kombat but I wanna learn more about Devil May Cry also and I'm glad you chose this character thanks!
Hands down, the greatest sibling rivalry in a video game - Dante Vs Vergil. So we all love Dante and we have plenty of reasons for this. So what makes you love Vergil? It's the fact that he's too motivated to give up. When you knock him down, he'll get right back up with more determination. "IAM THE STORM THAT IS approaching."
This is going down as one of my favorite videos from you keep up the good work king🙌🏾
So happy you branched out to a non fighting game series and one I love at that! I always thought you would be perfect going into the lore of dmc
Very good video. I loooooove Vergil. Everything about him is amazing.
SWEET!!!! I hope you can do more DMC characters!
Good job this made me wanna play thru devil may cry series again 👍
Amazing lore & depth towards this character and a first time of a history that not fighting games and hope you can keep doing devil may cry history in the future good luck 👍.
Bro! Thanks for doing The Alpha and The Omega video
Loved this!!!!! I would like to see more history of Devil May Cry characters 🙏🏽🙌
Excelent video!!!! Make more videos of DMC, your job with Vergil was cool!
Thank u bro, I learned a lot from your video. Excellent work :)
The song Bury the Light piqued my interest and here I am now watching this amazing history of Vergil. I want to get the dmcse for ps5 but I’m not sure if all this background history would be in there. Nice vid!
God, I hope you got DMC1234 or 5 instead of the shitty emo reboot.
Thank you for providing Vergil's history
I would love more DMC content.youre so detailed with lore itd be amazing.
This video was really well done i enjoyed it alot it made me know more than what I know of Virgil It would be cool if you did a video of Nero or trish. But it is refreshing that you did a video of a different video game series of that I know of you doing like mortal Kombat and tekken etc just fighting games in general lol even though virgil and dante are in a fighting game but even so keep up the good work.
Love this channel keep up the Good work
been waiting for this!!
I’d love more videos like this!!!! This was great.
if there was a point where someone or something connects others mind, Dante would show the memory that their mother was looking for them and everything in the story line would have changed. but I guess it's a good thing it didn't happen, or we wouldn't have Bury the Light
Excellent work! Keep up the great content and stay safe!
"Power.. I need more POWER!!"
You just cleared all the little confusions I had about Virgil's story
The fact that the video is based off of Vergil, he used “rules if nature” as his intro
I saw this twice!! Once i just listened to it,and the second time i really paid attention so you're welcome HBW
His intro music: Rules of Nature The video: About a white haired, katana-wielding badass Hmm...
Well Raiden is lightning so vergil being the storm while Raiden being the lightning
Raiden is sort of silver haired and also wields a katana. Similar attributes.
Rules of demonic nature.
I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROOOOOACHING!
You... Again
I’m glade your back !!
Devil May Cry is my favorite game franchise and I will love for you to do more content
That's I what i was waiting for nice video
There still few Mystery History of Devil May Cry still not solve yet.....BUT i want to say nice Vergil History Video Right Now i Really Love it.
Thank you for this video friend.
Good video Virgil is definitely one of my faves in dmc wonder if there will be a 6th instalment
Bloody brilliant! ❣️
This was awesome!!!
Let's not forget one major point, that was kinda only glanzed over. Vergils hate for (his) humanity and love for (his) demonkind is based on his childhood trauma. He's a child, who was abandoned by his mother, a human, who only survived thanks to his fathers power, a demon. For this he hates humanity and his human side, which he considers weak, untrustworthy and unreliable. Dante on the other hand has quite literally the opposite view. His mother, a human, saved his life by sacrificing hers. If his father, a demon, wouldn't have been the Dark Knight Sparda, but just a regular human, or simply hadn't abandoned his family, he wouldn't have lost his mother and his brother on that day. Dante however realises through DMC3, that his father sacrificed himself as well, in order to protect not just his family, but humanity itself and accepts his demonic heritage. Vergil on the other hand only in the newest installment learns of what actually happened on that faithful day and starts doubting his very reason for existaence, but can't stop now, not after everything he's done, not after giving up everything. If you listen to "Bury the Light", Vergils battle theme in V, there are the following lines: "Bury the light deep within! Cast aside, there's no coming home! We're burning chaos in the wind! Drifting in the ocean all alone!" He is not a bad person by nature, he's a misguided child, who lost his family and thought of himself as being alone. He buried his happiness and humanity deep within. There is no home, no place for him to return to. He truly believes, that he is all alone and will forever be all alone in this world/ocean. If he had just given in to his humanity sooner, if he hadn't tried to bury his humanity, he may would have ended up with a brother who truly loves him and a family that he could love, cherish and protect, but Fate just didn't allow for his life to play out that way. But now, after all this, he finally realised, that he's not actually alone. His brother, who was his rival since they were children, is still alive and happy to have him back (altough he would never outright say that). His own offspring and a chance to give to him something, that he never had, a father who can train, help and protect him. Once he finishes the business with Dante in the demonic realm, he has finally a place to return to and something to look forward to. So in a sense, his quest for more power is finally over
Watched your history vidoes on mortal kombat, never expected you to do dmc
Fun fact, Vergil's name in DMC1 is actually Nero Angelo not Nelo Angelo. It was a typo mistake by the English translation team at Capcom.
This was awesome..thank you
ChampionAnalysis and this channel know the details about DMC story! Is really rare to find youtube channel who know details about this game.
Foolishness Dante Foolishness
YES ,Mortal Kombat is my second favorite game and now Devil May Cry which IS my favorite game ,what a lucky life. Also i like how u said netherlearm instead of hell or the underworld XD
go ahead and hit up more characters. I've been subbed for a while but haven't look at your channel in so long. I was around when you were doing constant mkx videos. glad you like the dmc franchise too.
Awesome video mate.
Thank you!! I love DMC. More please! Lol
Vergil is the foundation of the rival character, unless yall can think of someone else. Maybe Liquid Snake, Ken from Street Fighter, or even Sub-zero
The lore of Virgil is long and amazing.
Awesome video man! Vergil is my favorite DMC character and seeing him return in 5 was so damn cool. Id love to see more history of videos for this universe!! I love that you included the manga stories too! Where did the first few images come from?
Considering I didn't play DMC5 and its been entirely too long since I played 1 through 4, this was excellent.
These types of videos must shock people that only think your a Mortal Kombat Channel
Please do more dmc characters! Besides I think you pretty much exhausted the MK characters already :P
Id love to see more dmc videos Please make more 🙏
