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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Bro! Thanks for doing The Alpha and The Omega video

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

I saw this twice!! Once i just listened to it,and the second time i really paid attention so you're welcome HBW

"Power.. I need more POWER!!"

You just cleared all the little confusions I had about Virgil's story

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.

Excellent work! Keep up the great content and stay safe!

That's I what i was waiting for nice video

Love this channel keep up the Good work

Devil May Cry is my favorite game franchise and I will love for you to do more content

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.

I’m glade your back !!

Watched your history vidoes on mortal kombat, never expected you to do dmc

Good video Virgil is definitely one of my faves in dmc wonder if there will be a 6th instalment

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

These types of videos must shock people that only think your a Mortal Kombat Channel

Thank you!! I love DMC. More please! Lol

The fact that the video is based off of Vergil, he used “rules if nature” as his intro

Awesome video mate.

Thank you for providing Vergil's history

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.

Great video!

Thanks. This was better than other videos on Vergil

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

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?

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

This is a Great Series to explore.

Considering I didn't play DMC5 and its been entirely too long since I played 1 through 4, this was excellent.

You have made me even more invested in this game than I already was.
