Welcome to Gaia! ::

Vergil is the older of the two, why? Vergil came out of Eva's p***y first. Dante has the broadswrod because Sparda gave it to him. Vergil had to settle for the next best thing- a Katana. Vergil hates dante because of his attitude, Vergil wants power because he believes it's his birthright, the power Sparda squandered away, and dante doesn't care. it's possible that vergil dies at the end of DMC3*doesn't know cause hasn't beaten it* and becomes Mundus's slave, that's why Vergil doesn't kill dante in their first encounter in DMC1, because he feels regret for being so evil and becoming someone else's slave. Vergil is associated with Arkham because Arkham has knowledge of how to ressurect the demon realm and Vergil needs the Temen-ni-gru to get the sword of sparda to be strong enough to rule hell by force.

Okay, so the first question : Why is Vergil evil?

Answer: He isn't. Vergil seeks power. Or, more notably, to be like their father. That is why he doesn't kill Lady when she interferes between him and Dante fighting.


Question: Why the hell does he use a katana when Dante uses a broadsword?

Answer: Other than the obvious reference of Dante being the favourite and harbouring his father's blade, it also is a reflection of personality. The katana is made for quick, light hits that subdue the enemy, and need precise thought and conscision. The broadsword is bulky, requires little planning anmd is more of a 'run in and hack to bits everything' type sword. Irrational and rational.


Question: Why does he hate Dante so much?

Answer: Didn't you play the whole game through? He doesn't hate his brother. That is a common sibling rivalry, and if you notice he leaps in and works with Dante when Arkham turns. He also helps fight along with Dante, they do a combo attack, it hints they worked as partners beforehand, and lastly, he kills himself rather than fight to the death with his brother and possibly trap him within the demon realm. Doesn't sound like something you'd do for someone you hated to me.


Question: Why does he associate with Arkham?

Answer: he needed the ifnormation theo ther had. He sensed the evil in him, and realized that to gain his father's power he'd need the help of Arkham. It is also why he 'kills' him when he sees no use left for the male.


Question: Where was Vergil Between DMC3-DMC1/Why did he re-submerge into Dante's past like that?

Answer: Falling off a cliff, fighting Sparda's true power, fighting to near death with your brother is going to weaken you. Even if you're as confident as Vergil. In the hidden scene it becomes apparent that he tries to face Mundus. And that he is barely able to stand he's so wounded. In Devil may Cry 1 he also grasps his head when he recognizes Dante, in apparent pain. So the basic answer; He was defeated by Mundus and brainwashed into a lackey.

Answer: Nelo Angelo was a fan favourite, and one of the biggest questions left in DMC1. Creators knew people would respond well to this relationship being more played out.


Lastly : No, Vergil and Dante are not the same, nor is Vergil an imaginary character of Dante. Because the battle in DMC1 was very real, and Mundus and Trish both knew who Angelo was. Also, note Vergil says, "Our souls seem to be at odds, brother." Hinting they both have seperate souls.

Ummmm.....I read that they are twin brothers, Dante is the younger and Virgil is the older.

Gah, my head is spinning. I think DMC3 raised even more questions than the ones it answered. Oh well.

BTW... I have 4 siblings. We're at each other's throats with my brother, and in fact my brother is turning a bit like Vergil, uptight, conceited and snobbish. I think its time I pulled a Dante on him.

*Grabs a pillow and stuffs an iron ornament in it* Oh brooother?! Where art thou?!

i agree

this post may have been answered allready but if not, In DMC3 when you fight vergil for the first time Dante sais the words "how about a kiss for your little brother"...
So Vergils the oldest?

Ofcourse they're Brothers
