Dante makes his way to the island, fights his way through a ton of puppet monsters, a nightmare named Nightmare (they’re really good at naming things in this series, aren’t they?), and a mysterious swordsman named Nelo Angelo. Devil May CrySometime later, a woman named Trish barges through the doors of Dante’s shop with a job: travel to Mallet Island to put a stop to Mundus, who’s planning his grand return to power after all these years. Dante wins, Vergil gets stuck in the demon world along with his amulet, and Dante finally finds a name for his new shop. Dante and Vergil team up to put down Arkham for good, Lady finishes the job, and then the two brothers have one final battle over who gets to keep Dad’s shiny necklace. Unfortunately for him, though, Arkham can’t handle that kind of power and transforms into a gross purple blob. Arkham reveals his scheme to open the gateway to the demon world and claim the sword of Sparda, called the Force Edge.

This all culminates with a ton of revelations that all kind of hit at the same time: The jester is really Arkham, Lady is actually Mary, his daughter, and Dante and Vergil both learn they’re sons of Sparda (but you knew that already). Dante fights his way through the tower, running into a couple of extremely well-named characters: a Jester named “Jester” and a Lady named “Lady”, who’s out for revenge against the man who killed her mother. He gets approached by a man named Arkham, who offers him an invitation - well, it’s really more of a challenge from Vergil to meet him at the top of a tower called the Temen-ni-Gru. Devil May Cry 3Fast forward to the start of Devil May Cry 3, which sees a young Dante just getting started with his as-of-yet unnamed demon hunting business. Mundus’s demons return to the human world and kills Eva, leaving Sparda’s two sons orphaned and alone. YES NOSadly, at some point (we don’t exactly know when or how) Sparda dies, and this is where things start to take a turn. The two had twin boys, Dante and Vergil, who he gave each a half of his special amulet. For a while, everything was great: Sparda was a benevolent ruler for about 2,000 years, gained a human form and fell in love with a woman named Eva. After defeating the demon king Mundus, Sparda closed the gateway connecting the human world to the demon one using his own blood, a special amulet, and the blood of a human priestess.

He’s actually a son of Sparda, the Legendary Dark Knight who, in the war between the human and the demon worlds went against his own kind to aid the humans. Or that’s what he would be if he was described by Ric Flair (WHOO!). The BackstoryFirst off, this is Dante: He’s a red coat wearing, demon form bearing, gun-wielding, death-dealing, rocket riding, high flying, son of a gun. So, if you’re just jumping into DMC for the first time with Devil May Cry 5, here’s the entire plot summarized as quickly as we can rightfully do it.
DEVIL MAY CRY 1 NELO ANGELO SERIES
Devil May Cry is a series renowned for its stylish action, but beyond all of the gunslinging, sword slashing and royal guarding, there is, in fact, a story.
