History Awesome / DevilMayCry

* Dante might be the king, but Vergil knows how to dish out heaping helpings of badass ''with style''. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn0UpUGJ__A The bloodbath starts at 2:12]]. You wanna know what's even better about this? These aren't your average {{Mooks}}. No; these are the [[SuperPoweredMooks same guys you face at ''endgame'']]. [[spoiler:Of course, this is another example of CutscenePowerToTheMax...]]

* HOW DARE YOU FORGET [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sf5A2WSdks THIS SCENE!]]

* Let's not forget...[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQICowjdnZk "Anything to protect her." 3:42]]
* The [[spoiler:rescue of Kyrie/defeat of Sanctus]] is a genuinely emotionally powerful scene; all the more awesome because ''Franchise/DevilMayCry 4'' is sometimes of an over-the-top, comedic action game rather than a drama.

* Playing the first ''Franchise/DevilMayCry'', the opening cutscenes give you a good deal to go off of. Okay, sure, this guy is a BadassLongcoat, I get it. [[NighInvulnerability Nigh invulnerable]], [[GunsAkimbo uses two guns]], nice... It's all very nice, seems like it is ramping up to be a cool action game. Then you see [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3R6iBvNStA this scene.]] There's a point during it when you think to yourself, "No, he's not going to do ''that!''" But ''he does''. This was the make-or-break moment: if you weren't mesmerized by the sheer [[RuleOfCool coolness]] of that scene, chances were this wasn't the game for you.
* ''Devil May Cry 2'' had two great Dante moments in it. "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7Y8WhHG6O0 King? Yeah. Here's your crown]]" (Beware the squeaky BigBad) and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ_nq-7qCzo his kill of the Despair Embodied]] (starting from 0:46).
* In the third game he had [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtiXwvni6ng this]]. And that's just the ''opening.''
** Related mention: most awesome indirect way to introduce a game mechanic ''ever'' ("surfing" on fallen enemies).
* More from 3: Dante using a motor bike to drive up the vertical walls of a gigantic tower (gravity? We don't need no stinkin' gravity.) and then ''beating up mooks using said motorbike as a weapon?'' JustForFun/MadeOfWin!
* "Parental advisory: this game contains explicit violence and" '''BANG!''' "Sweet dreams, baby."
** Pretty much any time Dante shows up to destroy the warning screen is awesome. Special mention to the moment in the 3rd game, where Dante ''kicks'' the camera.
* And let's not forget [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pWvKx1x1pk the Lucifer cutscene]], which also counts as a CrowningMomentOfFunny (and for some, a Crowning Moment Of ''Fanservice'').
* Right before the first fight against Mundus: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzydMLP4Fjw&feature=related 1:25 in, full stop]]. After about twenty levels worth of badass taunts and one liners, we get to see what Dante's like when he's really pissed off. No joking, just a BerserkButton being pushed and a badass, three-part fight following.
* Though it's just a cameo, one of the endings in ''Capcom Fighting Evolution'' shows [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Jedah]] conquering the world and laughing evilly... and then, it proceeds to show '''Dante ready to challenge him.'''
* In ''3'', Dante's epic wall run down the tower just before mission 8 starts. Jumping off the mooks and shooting, breaking out of being surrounded by doing some sort of spinny attack, then throwing his sword and nailing it with a bullet to increase the speed at which it impales the mooks.
* Dante [[spoiler:SURFING ON A FUCKING ROCKET]] in DMC 3.
* In ''Devil May Cry 4'', Dante's final mission consists of an epic boss battle against the gargantuan Savior at its most powerful.
* Dante's entrance and action scene in the opening of ''4''. He just bursts through the skylight, shoots Sanctus right through the head, and ''[[OneManArmy slaughters]]'' his way through the congregation.

* HOW DARE YOU FORGET [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsv1U2HO28I THIS SCENE!]]

* The[[spoiler: rescue of Kyrie/defeat of Sanctus]] is a genuinely emotionally powerful scene; all the more awesome because ''Franchise/DevilMayCry 4'' is sometimes of an over-the-top, comedic action game rather than a drama.

* The fight against [[spoiler:Dante]] in Mission 10 of DMC4, particularly on higher difficulties. You will feel like the biggest badass in the world once you manage to defeat him.

* '''''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMSGj9Y2T9Q The franchise's glorious return with Devil May Cry 5.]]''''' After going almost completely dark after VideoGame/DmCDevilMayCry, which created a major BrokenBase, and with only an UpdatedRerelease of ''4'' in 2015, the series comes back from the brink with Nero at the forefront giving the flippant and balls-to-the-wall tone it's known and loved for! [[spoiler: And it's not only Nero coming back to fans...]]
-->'''[[spoiler: Dante]]''': (''[[WhamShot Barreling through on a motorcycle before making a close-up on his face]]'') "'''''[[HesBack WOO-HOOOOOOO!!!! YEEEEAAAHH!!!!]]'''''

* For the player: surviving the entirety of Dante Must Die mode in the first game would cause Dante to have some of his dialogue change during the ending sequence, along with a remixed version of the result screen theme. You're then rewarded with Super Dante - picking him on a New Game means he has his base stats and weapons, but when you get Alastor and Ifrit, this Dante has ''infinite'' Devil Trigger!

* Hell, the ''opening scene'' of ''Devil May Cry 4'' counts as one for Nero. He takes on a massive horde of [[{{Mooks demons}}]], just to try and make it to see [[HeartwarmingMoments see Kyrie sing.]]

* More from 3: Dante using a motor bike to drive up the vertical walls of a gigantic tower (gravity? We don't need no stinkin' gravity.) and then ''beating up mooks using said motorbike as a weapon?'' MadeOfWin!

* The first time you face Vergil in DMC 3, [[HeadsIWinTailsYouLose the game doesn't let you win]]. But you won't care because the way he defeats Dante after having his life bar drained is just that BadAss.

* Right before the first fight against Mundus: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzydMLP4Fjw&feature=related 1:25 in, full stop]]. After about twenty levels worth of {{Badass}} taunts and one liners, we get to see what Dante's like when he's really pissed off. No joking, just a BerserkButton being pushed and a badass, three-part fight following.

* Dante might be the king, but Vergil knows how to dish out heaping helpings of {{Badass}} ''with style''. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn0UpUGJ__A The bloodbath starts at 2:12]]. You wanna know what's even better about this? These aren't your average {{Mooks}}. No; these are the [[SuperPoweredMooks same guys you face at ''endgame'']]. [[spoiler:Of course, this is another example of CutscenePowerToTheMax...]]

** And then after the battle, before the [[spoiler: face-smashing CurbStompBattle against Savior-Sanctus]], Nero walks away from the carnage not only with [[spoiler: Kyrie safe and sound in his arms, but '''''Sparda''''' lashed to his back.]] Let's face it, having [[spoiler: that weapon]] in tow makes ''anyone'' a {{Badass}}, but for Nero, it just cranks his Badass quotient [[UpToEleven beyond measurable amounts]].

* The second half and ending of the battle against Arkham: [[spoiler:Dante and Vergil ''team up'' to kick his ass, fighting as a real team despite having been trying to kill one another not long ago, and their moves synchronize, they even exchange weapons to show even further levels of skill and {{badass}}ery. Finishing with a dual attack which also works as reminder of a [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome CMoA]] in the first game. One word summed up pretty well the whole thing: '''''Jackpot!''''']]

*** What really made that part poignant was the fact that after coming out Nero just hands [[spoiler: the Sparda]] off to to Dante. [[spoiler: The big bad relied on that thing for all his powers and Nero just went "Nah, don't need to use that sword, I got enough badass in this Devil Bringer."

** That one just looked so brutal that [[Tropers/InsanityPrelude this Troper]] had to look away.

***** And the ultimate nod to the fandom right as he delivers the final blow: "'''''JACKPOT!!'''''" This troper punched air the moment he heard that. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3obeULrub8&t=2m14s Check it out here]], but be warned...spoilers accompany the awesome.

* This troper found the [[spoiler: rescue of Kyrie/defeat of Sanctus]] a genuinely emotionally powerful scene; all the more awesome because ''Franchise/DevilMayCry 4'' is sometimes of an over-the-top, comedic action game rather than a drama.

* For this troper, there has been no better moment at all than the second half and ending of the battle agaisnt Arkham: [[spoiler:Dante and Vergil ''team up'' to kick his ass, fighting as a real team despite having been trying to kill one another not long ago, and their moves synchronize, they even exchange weapons to show even further levels of skill and {{badass}}ery. Finishing with a dual attack which also works as reminder of a [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome CMoA]] in the first game. One word summed up pretty well the whole thing: '''''Jackpot!''''']]

** Pretty much any time Dante shows up to destroy the warning screen is awesome. Special mention to the moment in DevilMayCry3, where Dante ''kicks'' the camera.

*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dr-rk9RWq7Q Case in point.]]

* I'm honestly surprised that Dante [[spoiler:SURFING ON A FUCKING ROCKET]] in DMC 3 took this long to get on the list.
