** This is a case of double heart warming as when Vergil transforms to V, he still has access to his 3 familiars Griffon, Shadow, and Nightmare. Despite the non-canon nature of Vergil's run through the game, the developers explicitly stated that whatever abilities Vergil has are still canon (for example his version of Force Edge is conjured from his memories and given form much like his summoned swords). Meaning that while they represent Vergil's trauma as Nelo Angelo, Vergil still decided that they were still worth keeping around if only on some level as V.

* From the Special Edition Trailer showing off playable Vergil, it appears as though instead of a Sin Devil Trigger, Vergil's ultimate form is to use Yamato to ''turn back into V''. In other words, not only did V not suffer a DeathOfPersonality as originally thought, but it's now Vergil's strongest form to embrace his human side, as V's familiars with Vergil's devil powers makes him a veritable army.

** There's also how when he meets the Elder Geryon Knight, he denotes that he knows what it really is and will be gentle with it. It's later shown that Trish was trapped inside as a LivingBattery. Given how some of Vergil's character was made from his mother's death, it's nice to see that he at least cares on Trish's existence as well.

* Despite the overall divisiveness of ''VideoGame/DMCDevilMayCry'', the developers still saw good elements in it and incorporated them in this game, from purely aesthetic bits to even [[spoiler: story moments]]. Regardless of one’s opinion on the reboot, that’s a sweet gesture nonetheless and a fine showcasing of goodwill from Itsuno and the rest of the team.

She's apparently been trying to get Dante so he could attend her 18th birthday party, and sounds overjoyed at being able to chat to him again. And even though he hangs up the phone and disconnects it, wanting out of the birthday party, it's not because he doesn't want to spend time with her, but because he wants to celebrate it with her in private because he [[FreakinessShame feels he's a bit of a freak.]]

* It may have taken about two decades, but finally, the sons of Sparda have reconciled... in a way. They are still rivals to the end, but their fighting has become more of a friendly competition and they talk to each other more as brothers than enemies. Dante starts keeping scores, and Vergil, surprisingly, plays along. The game ends with the two of them switching back and forth between fighting demons and fighting themselves.

* V and Nero throughout the game strike up an OddFriendship helping each other frequently on their path to Urizen, to the point that Nero earns V's trust enough to be told the truth about Urizen. The reveal that V was, in essence, Vergil all along is pretty sweet when one considers all of their quality time spent together completely unaware they are father and son. This also means that Vergil's first real friend turned out be his own son.
** The first thing Nero asks when Vergil is restored is where V went. He also addresses Vergil as V when he confronts him, and actually is shown reading V's Blake book during the epilogue, despite being dismissive of it earlier. Despite their differences, Nero grew to care about V despite initially being suspicious of him.

* Once Son of Sparda mode is unlocked, the game starts to take pictures of the first time you kill any enemies. Special mention goes to the picture of the Qliphoth Roots because a second picture accompanies it. The aftermath shows the soldiers that survived the encounter gathered around Nero cheering for him while he smiles just a tad awkwardly.

* Dante's reason for telling Nero to stay out of the fight with Urizen/Vergil? He doesn't want Nero to have the guilt and trauma of having to kill his own father. Doubles as as TearJerker, since Dante has had to kill Vergil before and probably knows first-hand what it's like to have to put down family for the greater good.

*It's incredibly brief, but after Dante saves Trish he asks her if she's okay and then when she tries to tell him the truth about Urizen he tells her not to think about it and to just rest instead. Dante puts on a strong face and is a never ending fountain of one liners for most of the game, but one of the few times he shows his softer side is when dealing with the partner that's been with him the longest.

* When in the Gallery and reading Nico's reports, if you look over the Buster Arm, it turns out the reason she made it was to recreate the demonic arm that Urizen stole from Nero.
