Meet Dante ♥

(I like the idea that Demi-fiend and Dante still have contact to each other..)

[knowoah]

I missed drawing them tbh

[cake-apostate]

A proposition:

Bring things full circle. Make the Demi-Fiend a superboss in the next Devil May Cry game.

So... lately I sorta, kinda gained some interest in the Shin Megami Tensei series after watching a livestream playthrough of SMT 3 Nocturne. It was fun being there to watch and interact when I could. The playthrough featured the ability to recruit Dante from the Devil May Cry series, so it kinda got me thinking of other crossovers.

First up is the idea of Darksiders crossover: Darksiders' Four Horsemen could arguably fit pretty well, considering SMT has its own version of the Four. Also, it would be pretty cool if we could see how Death, War, Fury, and Strife could work in an RPG setting.

Next up, Hades: Zagreus and company would be so interesting to see crossover. Maybe Zag could be someone like Demi-Fiend, where he's got both human and non-human parts to him and thus is a strange mix.

Curse of the Dead Gods: Imagine someone like the Demi-Fiend or Nahobino just encountering Caradog McCallister. The old guy already has his hands full in the temple, so imagine him making out and finding out the world went to shit or something and just deciding to wander because of that. He could probably be a real interesting optional boss fight.

Overall, I think I had fun with some of these ideas. You think the crossovers could work or nah? Got any other ideas for crossovers?

There’s actually a few fan theories of Dante actually adopting Demi-Fiend. Yeah, that’s right, our residential devil Hunter adopting a devilish kid….right after nearly shooting him down several times and chasing him around like a madman. That’s the story they’ll tell the rest of the DMC crew. I wanna see their reactions to this! And I think Demi-Fiend, Naoki, I think, would get along with Nero! They would be cousins after all!

Dante: *slaps a hand on Demi's shoulder* I'm telling you Trish! This kid can fit so many bullets in him and walk away like nothing to it!

Trish: You really think you can afford another mouth to feed?

*Flash forward to a year later*

Dante: Alright....who...the hell...stole my deep dish stuffed crust pizza!!!!????

*Demi Fiend and Nero chilling on the roof eating said pizza*

Joker - a phantom thief and wildcard user. He’s the leader of the phantom thieves and forced a change of heart for many criminals. He uses a knife, gun and personas to fight. Sidekick is a talking cat with amnesia

Demi Fiend - he was once a human but got turned into a demon after the world ended. He convinces demons to fight along side him. He fights by punching and using magic along side his demon allies. His sidekick is a pixie that joins along at the beginning of the game. (He’s also canonically beaten Dante from devil may cry)

Demi-Fiend?

my demifriend :3

favorite thing about them

I LOVE HOW HE THINKS HE HAS ANY AGENCY!!!!! In every ending except freedom/rejection he’s just carrying out someone else’s will and he thinks its his own god what a fool. He thinks he’s carving his own path in TDE but he’s just a weapon to be used by lucifer. His parallels with the manikins - They think they can make a change, but in the end they’ll only ever be used to further someone else’s goals - are soooo. He doesn’t even have a reason of his own unless you reject them all/choose freedom. He’s a weapon who thinks he’s a person. He doesn’t even know that.

least favorite thing about them

He’s difficult to draw because he’s half-naked with awful shoes and a trillion tattoos. It’s only a mild dislike but every time I go to draw him I lament his style

favorite line

eeeyikes how am i going to one more god rejected if all these skeletons keep Fierce Battling me?! (He doesn’t even reject god once)

The quote they keep on his wiki makes me laugh so hard because it’s so overly dramatic. Who does he think he is.

“Death's vastness holds no peace. I come at the end of the long road. Neither human, nor devil... all bends to my will.”

brOTP

NAHOBINO-RAIDOU-DEMIFIEND 🔛🔝

OTP

See the last ask for my thoughts on Raishura they make me so insane

nOTP

I don’t like demifiend x dante I guess? Mostly because I don’t know dante and prefer raishura

random headcanon

He didn’t change after becoming a demon at all he’s just like that. he’s been pitching hypotheticals about becoming a demon who has to eat people to chiaki since middle school and he’s lowkey elated that he also got top surgery about it.

unpopular opinion

Maybe it’s not unpopular here but I think that the wider assumption that demifiend is a confident badass is entirely wrong. That man is a cringe edgy loser and he needs to own it.

Also my realest unpopular opinion is that TDE is not a good ending for him. It might be referenced the most but it’s not his good ending.

song i associate with them

Is it cheating to just put the battle theme here? But specifically the Amala Network one because it’s my favorite one

favorite picture gif of them

No Fear? one Fear. i replay Nocturne with a Friend again and I got to that point again i got chased by Dante :'-) it stills scares the shit out of me

[knowoah]

Got a new iPad, so ofc the first thing I draw is dumb ship art cause why not

[ziodyne-amax]

Pelipper mail, for Kotone!

A copy of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster. With the Dante DLC!

Also a T-shirt. It's patterned with the Demi-Fiend's tattoos.

@remastered-fate Hey first off THOSE ARE SO COOL

Second off are you uh. Okay with me having this?

For the character ask game I want to know about our favorite cryptid the Demi-fiend from SMT3

Fav thing - his curiosity, his humanity, his tattoos, his hair horns, his relationship with the human-esque people and his demons

Least fav thing - the fact he doesn’t tan!! The sand dimension vortex world is Bright and probably Hot and sand reflects those things

Fav line - I don’t remember any canon lines but my Demifiend complains loudly when playing Puzzle Boy

brOTP - Dante and Demifiend, Nahobino and Demifiend, Futomimi and Demifiend, PIXIE AND DEMIFIEND

OTP - Raidou/Demifiend

nOTP - Pixie/Demifiend, Lucifer/Demifiend, any of the reason holders/Demifiend (I see them as strictly platonic)

Random headcanon - he’s a good cook Now. He wasn’t before the Conception. Learned how to cook demon meat to survive (he can live on Magatama alone but he’s essentially starving). This man covets garlic like most people covet wealth

Unpopular opinion - I don’t think he accepts TDE. He does go the TDE route, but makes a deal with Lucifer to keep his humanity in exchange for taking care of his kids (Devil Children protags) sometimes and keeping tabs on humanity on the micro scale

Song I associate with them - Heaven Knows by the Pretty Reckless

Favorite picture of them - any of Vinnigami’s drawings of him!!
