** Sickened by Arius' delusions of grandeur, Dante "crowns" him [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7Y8WhHG6O0 by riddling his body with bullets.]] Beware of the BigBad's squeaky voice though. The scene is also made awesome by the fact that the game's "glass-shattering" transition to the Mission Results screen is well-timed with Arius' body being blown out to the window behind him.

* Even if the game has [[FlatCharacter minimal characterizations or backstories for its boss encounters]] other than Arius, the skeletal demon Bolverk could still perform a badass pose by [[SwordPlant stabbing the ground with his sword]] as he dies.
* There are at least two great Dante moments in the cutscenes.

** The dramatic manner of [[https://youtu.be/mpjLSG3Nk88?t=27m22s how he kills The Despair Embodied]]. As he strikes back against an attack of the demon, his Rebellion gets flung up in the air, Dante seemingly disappears, shoots The Despair Embodied without looking at it, then the camera focuses on the Rebellion after it just [[TheBladeAlwaysLandsPointyEndIn stabbed the ground on its way down]].
* Dante's more powerful Devil Trigger form that can only be activated [[DesperationAttack when his health is low enough]], better known to fans as the "Majin Form". Thanks to its high-damage fireball projectiles and two {{Secret Art}}s, it can quickly kill anything in the game, including the FinalBoss, with minimal effort. To top it off, Dante is [[NighInvulnerability invincible]] in this form until the Devil Trigger gauge runs out.
* [[SecretCharacter Trish]] plays just like how Dante did in ''[=DMC1=]'', from having identical attack animations based on that game, to blasting enemies with lightning rays in mid-air (similar to how Dante's [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]] works with Alastor). Wielding the Sparda, her Stinger is faster and has a longer reach than ''[=DMC2=]'' Dante's, and her [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks Round Trip]] is easily the best non-Devil Trigger move in the entire game. Her Luce & Ombra also fire faster than Dante's Ebony & Ivory. Unlocking her is going to be worth the effort.
* Considering its [[ContestedSequel reputation]] among the fans, you wouldn't think ''Devil May Cry 2'' could get anywhere near as stylish as the others, right? Well, you'd be wrong. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDWZIoPzSLE This video]] shows some crazy cool combos from a game you wouldn't expect. Maybe not as elaborate or varied as some of the later games, but for only the second entry in the series and a very hated sequel, it's a remarkable step up in style if you care to try.
