* Trish and Nevan mirror and contrast each other in a few ways. Both are female demons with [[ShockAndAwe command over lightning]] and a hypersexual design. Both join forces with Dante despite being initially antagonistic towards him but the reasons why contrast each other: Trish sides with Dante [[BecauseYouWereKindToMe because he saves her life]] while Nevan becomes one of Dante's Devil Arms after he defeats her. Their introductions to Dante are also different. Trish drives a hole through Dante's office and attacks him while Nevan is more flirtatious before they begin their battle.

* The RunningGag of Dante being [[UseTheirOwnWeaponAgainstThem impaled with his own swords]] has some foreshadowing.
** In ''1'', one of the first things Trish does upon meeting Dante is impale him with Force Edge. This foreshadows her HeelFaceTurn as the sword is used by her after she becomes Dante's partner.
** Nero stabbing Dante with Rebellion in ''4'' just like Vergil does in ''3'' is a slightly less obvious clue whose son he is. If that isn't enough, he impales Dante against a statue of Sparda.

* In ''1'', Trish saves Dante in the final battle with Mundus by lending him her power. In ''5'', Trish yet again provides Dante the means to defeat the main villain by throwing him the Sparda sword which he later absorbs to achieve his strongest Devil Trigger form.

* The Yamato is tied to Vergil and Dante's "Dark Slayer" [[StanceSystem Style]] in ''3'' and ''4'' respectively. The Style's name isn't just trying to sound cool, badass or edgy because it is a very subtle [[ContinuityNod reference]] to the Yamato's [[FlavorText description]] in the [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry1 first game]] when you play with the Legendary Dark Knight costume. In that game, the katana is said to have the "will and the power to divide and wipe out the darkness".

* Trish uses the Sparda sword in the main timeline up until it is absorbed by Dante in ''5''. Her alternate timeline counterpart in the ''Devil May Cry 2'' prequel novel uses the Alastor sword, a weapon which was found in Mundus's fortress in the first game. The allegiances of the two Trishes are symbolized by the swords they use.

** It’s also why Dante tries to keep his interactions with normal humans minimal outside of demonic jobs, Patty, Lady and Morrison. It’s a cruel irony that Dante values his humanity more than Sparda’s power, yet it’s that very same race that rejects him for something that’s not even his fault.

I mean... it's better placed on the series-wide Fridge page, and not the specific game. I accidentally copy-pasted the wrong edit reason.

The example admits that it covers several games, so it's better placed on the series-wide Fridge page and not here.

* One [[https://www.reddit.com/r/DevilMayCry/comments/b14igh/interesting_thing_i_noticed_about_the_dmc/ Reddit poster]] noticed something that could easily be a happy coincidence or just straight up sheer coincidence regarding three of the boss fights Dante encounters across the classic games thus far. Dante's final boss fight with Vergil in ''3'' is in the Demon World, while Dante fights Nelo Angelo in the Human World in ''1'', and finally the twins battle on top of the Qliphoth far above the earth in ''5''. Practically [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotDidactic step for step]] on Creator/DanteAlighieri and his Virgil passing through Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso of ''Literature/TheDivineComedy''.

* A bit of a meta-example, and may also be a bit of a stretch, as it was one of the things responsible for ''2''[='=]s [[{{Sequelitis}} much weaker reception]]. Why is ''[=DMC2=]'' easier than ''1'' and ''3''? Because it's the latest among the three within the series' updated AnachronicOrder (When ''[=DMC5=]'' was released, the official chronology became ''3'' > ''1'' > ''TAS'' > ''2'' > ''4'' > ''5''), and Dante has [[TookALevelInBadass taken several levels in badass]] by then, making the enemies in ''2'' weaker in comparison. ''The game's easier because Dante is just that powerful now''. That also explains ''Dante's Awakening'' and its NintendoHard difficulty (at least its original release); since it was Dante's first major adventure.

Just realized that this example is specific to just one game, so moving it there instead of lumping it with the franchise-wide examples.

* At first glance Vergil, who is established as being an honorable AntiVillain, stabbing Dante through his chest would seem as utterly [[ClicheStorm lazy]] if not [[WritingPitfallIndex terrible writing]] in seeming to inexplicably turn [[ByronicHero Vergil]] into something of a CardCarryingVillain out of nowhere. But when one considers that Vergil and Dante are well aware of their partly Demonic heritage, of which includes the benefit of HealingFactor, it would be obvious that Vergil would know that he wouldn't be able to kill Dante that easily and pierced him just to keep him down so he could leave with Dante's half of the Perfect Amulet and likely wanted to force Dante to awaken his Devil Trigger powers [[WellIntentionedExtremist to help him survive]] [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans in the new world]] [[VisionaryVillain he]] wishes to establish (via recreating the Kingdom of Sparda).
