It wasn’t on my 2024 bingo card that I’d draw V again. Anyway I’ll go ahead ramble in the tags

Where DMC Characters Rank

Capcom Super Elections results have come in and it time to see where the characters of Devil May Cry rank among Capcom's wide array of characters.

Dante is very, very popular. He was voted as the #1 Capcom character overall with 26,874 votes, #1 in both the world and Japan, got first with male voters and second with female. Generation-wise, he was voted as the best by people in their 10s-20s, second best by people in their 30s-40s, and fourth best by voters in their 50s-60s (and higher I presume). He got most popular male character in both the world and Japan.

Vergil was voted as the 4th best Capcom character overall with 10,178 votes. He got the #4 spot in the world and was not on the top 10 list in Japan. He got 6th place among male voters and 5th place among female. People in their 10s-20s found him to be Capcom's 3rd best character, while people in their 30s and higher did not find him worthy of the top ten list. He's Capcom's third most popular male character in the world and the 7th in Japan.

Nero landed 16th place overall with 3,025 votes. People in their 10s-20s found him to be 10th place material, while people older than that did not find him to be top ten material. He landed 7th most popular male character in the world and did not make the list in Japan.

Honorable mention to reboot Dante, who made 70th place with 518 votes.

V got 71st most popular with 516 votes, I can only assume this is supposed to be V from Devil May Cry.

Tragically no women from Devil May Cry made the top 10s, only to be seen through the extended list.

We see Lady come in as Capcom's 80th most popular character with 419 votes.

Trish came in at 234th place with 86 votes.

Surprise contender Sparda managed to find himself in 264th place with 69 votes despite the fact we know nothing about him.

Nico found herself as Capcom's 275th most popular character with 65 votes.

Lucia got 379th place with 32 votes.

Nelo Angelo got his own character spot, apparently, and landed 452nd place. Why those 21 people didn't just vote for Vergil I do not know.

Griffon, Shadow, and Nightmare got grouped together and are Capcom's 507th most popular characters with 15 votes.

Kyrie is Capcom's 538th most popular character with 13 votes.

King Cerberus made 580th place with 10 votes.

Elder Geryon Knight made 770th place with 3 votes.

Mundus somehow managed to get 3 votes and wound up in 770th place.

The Doppelganger also got their own spot and got 2 votes that landed them in 816th place.

Death Scissors aka the bane of my existence apparently got their own character spot and actually got a vote that put them in 867th place.

RIP Eva I ran through this list twice and did not see your name.

I can't get over the Sparda and Mundus height difference, how Mundus is TOWERING over Sparda, he's so tall. And Sparda tiny.

I was listening to this song for 2 and a half hours straight today. For some reason it was the lyrics, and how familiar they sounded. Yes I can relate to them, but LOOK CLOSELY!!!!!!! Literally so many lines can be about Vergil and his past as Nelo Angelo and even his familiars!

I added the lyrics, don’t mind me being a synth pop loving freak, I love human league but this song screams Vergil to me!!

Darkness

Where my dreams are all too clear

Darkness, darkness

Filled with all the sounds of fear

I hear voices (don't turn out the light)

Calling faraway

I see shadows (don't turn out the light)

Moving, changing shape

And the clock stops

As darkness closes in

I hesitate but it's too late

I scream and scream again

I hear colours black and red

I see sounds that fill my head

I'll never read those books again

In darkness

Where my dreams are all too clear

Darkness, darkness

Filled with all the sounds of fear

I hear voices (don't turn out the light)

Calling faraway

I see shadows (don't turn out the light)

Moving, changing shape

Don't turn out the light (don't turn out the light)

Or I'll go over the edge

Don't turn out the light (don't turn out the light)

Or I'll go over the edge

In darkness

Where my dreams are all too clear

Darkness, darkness

Filled with all the sounds of fear

I hear voices (don't turn out the light)

Calling faraway

I see shadows (don't turn out the light)

Moving, changing shape

I hear voices (don't turn out the light)

Calling faraway

I see shadows (don't turn out the light)

Moving, changing shape

[dmc-questions-anon]

Looking back at old fan theories before DMC 5 came out and it seems the most prominent theory about V, alongside him being Vergil which was also quite prominent, was that V was Mundus. The idea of Mundus making a future return through pretending to be some sort of ally is honestly an interesting one.

[hohuios]

Tag drop: 2/2

[spaceacerat]

Still thinking about the idea of if Mundus died on Mallet Island, him becoming one of Vergil's nightmares. Likely in another form, but still.

Maybe no one knows it's him (Griffon might have his suspicions), and he agrees to work with V because he's hoping they'll get to the Qliphoth fruit and he can eat it to regain his full form. It's tense.

Or V knows immediately and gets the nightmares to help kill him.

[midnightkolrath]

One thing I like about DMC is the parallels they sneak in where at first you may not think it is...but the more you think about it...

Like the scene in 3 with Arkham is essentially Vergil's first big footsteps into hunting for his father's power years later after the tragedy he endured. He's looking for a way to grab that power, and here comes Arkham to begin to properly set him on the path that builds up the domino effect that THEN sets up the rest of the suffering he has to endure. From his clash with his twin, to his defeat, then his attempted clash with Mundus that leads into his enslavement and weakening that sets the stage for DMC5 with the birth of V and Urizen.

Then, in Visions of V, the climax has it where V embraces Urizen and encounters essentially the form of his fears and weakness as his younger self. Of course, V is met with immediate act of aggression through instinct of self defense by his younger manifestation but he still is prompted to not show his special book to return to him, but also remind him that 'Power alone is not enough'.

That line alone has me thinking like....wow. A complete opposite to the context of the moment with Arkham, where there's the talk about power and the desire for it. The fact that its basically himself on the other side of his own sword in VoV telling him that is, to me, such an interesting display of character growth. I don't know if that moment in VoV was meant to reference the Arkham convo in 3, but I like to believe it was. Its so alike, that it'd be weird if it wasn't to me.

Here's another cheeky one I like too, by the way.

The very night that Vergil reclaims Yamato and heads home to split himself into V and Urizen has a full moon. JUST like the very night when Vergil first defeated Dante that would eventually lead into the escalation of 3's plot and even having an ironic callback in 5 that would lead into Dante unlocking his Sin Devil Trigger.

One's a moment of victory over his twin brother, asserting his power. The other? A moment of reflection of losses that haunt him to this day, reminding him of the weakness he's desperately trying to chase away. The said desperation that peaks his desire for power and pushes him to believe abandoning his humanity is a benefit.

Of course, these thoughts still haunts him even as V (and especially Urizen, but I've mentioned that before) to the point where he reflects over it a few times. I often talk about these moment in VoV, but its just...man. One of the best things we got for DMC. A good addition for Vergil's character and essentially the icing ontop of the cake for 5 alongside the Before the Nightmare novel. There's several things it calls back to for Vergil's journey subtle or not. I hope we get more content like it in the future (maybe even have VoV localized officially), alongside games of course.
