* While the last boss fight against Griffon is a pain in the ass and a demon, there is just something tragic about his death. After being gravely wounded by Dante, he begs Mundus to help him, to give him just one last chance to prove his worth and destroy Dante. Mundus cruelly denies him this, shortly before [[YouHaveFailedMe zapping him to cinders]] while Griffon is ''begging'' Mundus not to. If you did not think Mundus was an utter bastard before, [[MoralEventHorizon you will now]]. Dante certainly did. Mundus also has the audacity to laugh evilly after coldly killing Griffon.

* Dante realizing who Nelo Angelo ''really'' was... his brother, Vergil... after he's destroyed him. Making things worse is Dante briefly recalling one of the few ''good'' memories he had left of Vergil, before their falling out; the birthday in which he and Vergil received the halves of the Perfect Amulet, a gift from their mother, Eva. Though the brothers also briefly banter about wanting chocolate for their birthday, this dialogue comes off more as a tear-jerking moment than a heartwarming or funny one given the context.

* From the bits of Dante's backstory we see, he was a happy and carefree child. Then he loses his family during a demon attack [[FromBadToWorse and the rest of his life became a lot worse]]. In the non-canon novel, Dante [[ForcedToWatch watched]] his mother be ''torn apart'' by demons right before his eyes. He's only eight-years old at the time.

* [[EtTuBrute Dante didn't take well to finding out that Trish was working for Mundus.]] Even though he saves her because ''she looks like his dead mother'', he doesn't want to see her ever again, going [[DespairEventHorizon so far]] as to put her at gunpoint, shouting that even if she looks like his mother, Trish is just a soulless demon, then drops his gun, and walks away in anger and sadness.
-->'''Trish''': Uh... Dante! Dante, [[EvilCannotComprehendGood why did you save my life?]]\\
[There is a pause and Dante looks away.]\\
'''Dante''': Because you look like my mother... Now [[GetOut get out of my sight!]] The next time we meet, it won’t be like this.\\
[He starts to walk off again, and [[PleaseDontLeaveMe Trish moves to stop him leaving her behind]].]\\
'''Trish''': Dante!\\
[Dante spins around, brandishing one of his handguns, held pointing at Trish.]\\
'''Dante''': [[RejectedApology Don’t come any closer, you Devil!]] [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech You may look like my mother, but you're nowhere close to her. You have no soul! You have the face, but you'll never have her fire!]]\\
[He drops his handgun and walks away.]
** Trish even gets [[HeelRealization that]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone look]] on her face after that last statement.
** And then she takes an attack from Mundus that was aimed at Dante, and apparently dies because of it. His tears after the first two battles with Mundus can make anyone weep.
** Followed by Dante mourning over Trish, leaving the Perfect Amulet and the Sword of Sparda (both mementos of his family) with her.
--->'''Dante''': (places the Amulet over Trish's heart) This was my mother's...now I'm giving it to you. (plants the Sparda into the floor next to Trish's body) My father's also here now. Rest...in peace.

** It seems to be the same for Vergil, which makes it even ''worse''. Depending on whether you consider the manga canon, it gets very, ''very'' worse... and never really gets better.
