Devil May Cry 3 HD: Dante vs Vergil 3/The Ending 

I almost teared up when lady said "Maybe somewhere out there even a Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening: Special Edition when he loses a loved one."

How Vergil just falls from the cliff is probably one of the most iconic gaming moments ever, atleast for me.

DMC3 Dante: I live for this! DMC 5 Dante: i will sit this one out.

"I'm staying. This place... was our father's home." That line fucks me up every time I hear it. The delivery by Daniel Southworth was something special.

One small detail I love about the final interaction with Lady and Dante is when she asks if he's crying, it doesn't sound accusatory, most of the time when someone asks if a male character is crying, there's a pause and then a tone of shock. "Are you... crying???" and that makes it sound wrong for the character to cry. Here, Lady is speaking more flat, and seriously toned, showing actual compassion and concern for Dante than shock and horror that he's showing emotion

"Maybe somewhere out there even a devil may cry when he loses a loved one" best line by the lady.

When he says "You're wasting time!" Vergil is upset because he's worried about Dante getting home

This game is crazy that even its credits is fun.

“No one can have this Dante, it belongs to a son of sparda” That really hits hard

The dialogs The characters The effects The music This is so perfect one of the best games in history easily.the ending made me cry for days.

Vergil, a man with nothing to lose Dante, a man at risk of losing everything Vergil, a man willing to sacrifice anything Dante, a man determined to protect anything Like they say “And we’re supposed to be twins” “Twins, right” They’re brothers, twins even, yet they couldn’t be more different

this shit is crazy, you can count every pixel in that background and still it's one of the most emotional and chilling moments in videogames. i can't stop thinking about this

while i'm late the party it's hard not to feel emotional from the shot after the boss fight. When Dante says "even if I have to kill you" you can feel the strain in his voice. Vergil is not an evil person, his motivations just lead him to do things like side with a mad priest, but deep down he's a flawed individual who seeks power to make up for his flaws, and part of Dante knows that. He doesn't agree with Vergil but at the same time that's also his brother, his only living family. That's why he tries to grab him at the end, not because he's doing the heroic thing but because that's his brother and he doesn't wanna lose him like he lost everything else, and when vergil falls into the abyss it's a literal and metaphorical loss of his brother as he doesn't see him for another 30-40 years, so there's alot to unpack, especially when you realize that this moment is what catalyzed the namesake of the series or at least the in lore origin and meaning of it

I absolutely love this dark and mysterious atmosphere of the first 3 DMC games, specially the third one. It the sounds, musics and scnerios, all merged up to fits perfectly with the series and story. I hope to see another DMC game like this again.

15:18 “god if only I had the arm of some Devil to make me stronger somehow this pain will go away.”

9:05 SHE SAID THE THING

Best ending in videogame history. This "Devil May Cry" in the end so cool. This story is brilliant because well-synchronized with factual gameplay

I came back to read the comments saying how “Vergil is dead” and he will never come back and called some people dumb because he’ll never be truly brought back. :)

4:27 absolutely amazing

I've always loved how when Vergil drops both the Force Edge, the symbolic representation of his father and the family's legacy of power, and the amulet, the only memento of his mother, Vergil doesn't even hesitate in choosing the amulet. The fight had proved that Dante had the might to best him so the sword rightfully goes to the son who wasn't even seeking it to begin with, but in his heart of hearts, Vergil would never give up his half of the amulet even when the power he desperately wanted was in the other hand. This also happens in the cutscene preceding mission 20 where the twins both dive into the hole the Force Edge and amulets drop into after Arkham's death and the amulets are the first thing they retrieve, the sword ALWAYS comes second. You can almost see the bewilderment in Dante's face when he looks at the Force Edge after everythings finished. "All that shit for this?" It affirms what Dante says to a fully powered Urizen about how true power comes from within and wanting to protect. And then as outside the game material would confirm, killing Vergil not once but twice after the events of DMC1 sent Dante into a spiral of depression that only gets better after he realizes that Vergil had a kid and that he wasn't alone after all.

One of the most iconic video game endings ever. Managed to touch our hearts and keep us ABSOLUTELY CRAZY ABOUT IT!

people didn't think of playing as Lady when this game was still popular. She had her own model and animations. Shame, we could have been able to play as her

4:25 bad ass moment with vergil voice and music

7:06 iconic moment

0:42 me and my little brother fighting over my new toy car

Damnit, this guy is AWESOME! You’re damn good.

Brings a tear to my eyes every time...

14:46 Goosebumps

How many of us came back to this fight after dmc 5 vergil boss fight

a sad and a good ending at the same time

What has changed during this fight at the beginning vergil is all about getting dantes amulet and power and after final strike he suddenly changes to telling his twin to leave him because he wants to stay

I hope everyone knows dmc3 is the actual first devil may cry game in the timeline becuase at the end his outfit changes to his devil may cry 1 and 2 look because he’s older In both games and in this game he’s a bit younger looking

Such a great battle. I remember having such a difficult time during this fight that I pretty much stuck to Beowulf's aerial attacks since it automatically homes in on Vergil I think and does good damage.

5:14 that KO scream hurt a bit... I'm amazed he doesn't scream that in UMVC3

Vergil love the father sparda He wanted be like sparda However Dante became the sparda ...So sad Dante said that true

지금봐도 정말 완벽한 스토리와 연출이었어 dmc3...

I love how they only fought twice, this was their third, yet the music makes it seem like both just want it to be over now.

yo the way dante flip the guns in the end is amazing

6:04 the music bro damn

I think that this fight was more challenging than the one from DMC5 because even if you had DT ready when Vergil used his, you weren't as powerful as in DMC5. I mean, in DMC5 you could use SDT to deactivate SDT from Vergil and take half of his health with one use. I think it could have been cooler and challenging if Vergil wasn't stunned with your SDT attacks, like in DMC3 were you have to dodge almost every single attack and then go aggressively. Sorry for my english and i really think that both fights are awesome.

I loved this at the just kicking ass to a kick ass song, unique

Good chunk of us are here after DMC5

still the most epic and awesome game up till now ...a remale is must .....first and the last cut was out of these world..rhose dialogues and moment with virgils were just beyond......

"The duel of the Sons of Sparda" A badass name for this video

DISAPPEAR INTO THE NIGHT!!! LOST SHADOWS LEFT BEHIND

It’s a terrible day for rain

nice to see a vergil fight without the use of items or with very crazy practice

an crazy song with an crazy party and an crazy ending

Beautiful ending.

Why are virgils quips weirdly satisfying lol. Miss this game. Might have to play again at some point. My favorite of the ps2 trilogy.

Wett finger, the true hero of this story

Now this Motivated fun going down

I dont see Vergil as the bad guy, or evil. They just settle their differences in a violent way, and Vergil couldnt handle losing his mother and feeling like he was abandoned. He chose his path, after everything he did he feels like he cant come back, that he is too far gone. If you listen to his 'bury the light' song, even though its a awesome theme, it also tells his story. The part where is says " Bury the light deep within. Cast aside, theres no coming home" it really speaks what vergil is doing. He feels like he cant come home from the crimes he has committed in his endless persuit of power and he has to bury his feelings deep down. It makes sense as well with the end of DMC5 when Dante makes fun of him and how if he keeps up his attitude he will never meet his grandkids, to which Vergil replies with drawing his sword on Dante saying, "Thats enough" he probably knows thats the last time he will ever see his son again. Vergil is super complex to me, and he just cant seem to agree with himself, its almost like he is always hating himself, but his hate for dante always overshadows his other feelings. I dont think he is evil, I just think he is a man who has been broken and abandoned, and doesnt know what to do with himself, and the choices hes made has put him on a path of no return, truly sad.

Dante “ Ah it looks like it’s beginning to rain” Lady “ No,I don’t think so” Dante “No it’s raining alright” Lady “You’re right”

Damn! if Dante had DEVIL TRIGGER EXPLOSION, then Vergil had *DEVIL TRIGGER LEVEL 2* . !!!!

the scene where Vergil falls in the underworld is the saddest gaming moment imo

1:38 Ya know, after learning a bit more about the series, I realize Vergil's thirst for power isn't because he's a power maniac. In his theme "Bury the Light", there's a line that goes "Beyond the tree, fire burns", which was a reference to the day Eva (their mom) died. While Dante was hidden inside, Vergil was outside getting stabbed by demons. He blames himself for Eva's death. Sparda was already dead and as the older twin he felt like it was his responsibility to protect his family, but he didn't, and he blames himself for that. His thurst for power stems from him wanting to protect his family

One of my favorite games

It's only the rain...

9:04 She said it

Beautiful story.

Everyone thinking Vergil's lost was intended but lol maybe because Vergil was weaker than Dante? Let's be honest, Vergil wanted the power for no reason. Meanwhile Dante was asking him why. At the beginning of the game Vergil tooks Dante's amulet but failing the ritual to gain the power of Sparda and opens the Hell gate. Wasn't that G E N I U S ? Instead of solving his own problem he created the bigger one. Don't know why everyone are hyped about Vergil when the true chad of the DMC series is Dante.

the story in this one was so good

we should be fine for now. But I'm sure they'll back soon. Very soon. Are you crying? it's only the rain. The rain already stopped. Devils never cry. I see. maybe somewhere out there even a devil may cry when he loses a loved one. Don't you think? maybe.

wen he trows you the sparda sword you can block it with the bazooka.

Mad respect for our bro DEJAVOOO for having the best name out there

And THIS final boss battle proves that all these years later, Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening is STILL one of THE GREATEST Hack 'n Slash video games EVER CREATED!!🗡️🎮😎👍

devils never cry..

Dante secretly loves his brother

Hubris, thy name is Vergil.

no fair, my Stingers can't interrupt Vergil's Judgement Cuts! Also using Air Trick just as Force Edge almost hits you is a reliable way to dodge it, just double jump after in case of a Yamato Combo A Nevan's charge forward attack deals heavy damage even if you don't hit Vergil yourself, I find this useful for getting a few cheap shots in in the middle of a Judgement Cut - use the forward momentum to weapon cancel buffer a double jump in case of a Yamato Combo A

1:38 what every dmc villain boils down to

Sigh miss the good young Dante.

Im crying to end this game bcs this game is memorable and very hard in that's time

Guy I may have forgotten but how did lady got her nose scar ?

DANTE... Dante dante..

One question, how do you select it so you only use two do your weapons, I’ve recently been playing dmc 3 a lot and I would love to play danate more.

6:07 - OST?

devils never cry.

isnt the stronger variation of vergil's devil trigger in this is actually his sin devil trigger?

This game needs a remake.

My favorite part was when SOTG_Wetfinger was online

I couldn't even finish the stage of 4 in this game

7:09 this scene always gives me Lion King vibes

this is the game where the protagonist unironically says "its devil may crying time" and starts devil may crying all over the place

Vergil is a MADMAN. 😈

6:10 dante really had no option

*I N E E D M O R E P O W E R*

Give that to me No way, you got your own Well I want yours too Everyday sibling bickering

"Thanks for the bazooka lady, i just made an exact duplicate to use in our credits roll battle"

I don't really see Vergil as a bad guy. Sure he's labeled as the Antagonist, but he isn't evil. He's just going through some emotional/personal stuff in his heart. Especially after their mom was killed. Also I love how even though they think differently and are rivals but man Dante and Vergil sure do love each other. Vergil obviously doesn't show it as much as Dante does, but he cares for his little brother. It's touching.

I think that this was the pinnacle of the DMC series, this final showdown between brothers, beating the shit out of demons to Devils Never Cry, this game to be honest. One of my favourites, hands down.

Some may say that DMC games are weak on the story. But then again this is a simplistic and clear story about two brothers fighting over different point of views about their place in the world while mixing it with over the top action, epic battles, drama, style and humour. This may be a simple story with no multiple and twisting plotlines, but this is way stronger than any of the needlessly complicated stories with cliche characters. I can play it again many times (as a matter of fact I finish the game each year at the first weekend of summer break just for fun) but I can't get bored of it.

A while back this was the first game that showed me that videogames can do drama and can be high art. The conflict between these two is so nicely done. I mean, we have two half-demon brothers, but one of them rejects his devilish nature while accepting humanity, while another one despises his humanity and seeks more power to become a stronger demon. But why? Why was Vergil so mad with power? The way I see it, he was extremely traumatised by the death of their mother which he couldn't prevent, because he was a little weak human child. He couldn't save his mother and he couldn't protect his younger brother. And it is a big psychological issue. He became obsessed with becoming stronger for the sake of it, while his disgust and hate for weak humans grew. But wait, there's more: As we know from DMC4, Vergil had a family, a son by the events of DMC3 (don't even get me started on proofs for that. It is confirmed that Nero is Vergil's son in the artbook so shut up). And it is also tragic because after all, it shows that Dante was right all the along: Humans are stronger than demons because they can love and care for the loved ones. And despite all his hatred and disgust for humanity, Vergil did find a heart in his nature, a heart able to love. So now we truly know what was the reason for that obsession with power. He wanted to become strong so that what happened to his father, mother and brother would never happen again with his new family. "Foolishness Dante. Foolishness. Might controls everything - and without strength, you cannot protect anything". Who knows, maybe he wanted to obtain Sparda's strength to descent to hell and kill Mundus once and for all. Do what his father couldn't do when he instead just sealed him. And what, decades later, Dante finally did, ironically, with the help of Vergil. Which brings me to another problem: Why didn't Vergil tell Dante about it? Dante only tried to stop him because he believed that Vergil has gone mad and became a villain who wants to rule the world with power. None of this would have happened if Vergil told him his reasons. I believe hi didn't tell him because he didn't want to get Dante involved, just lure him in, take the amulet and continue on his own. There could be several reasons for it: His obsession with power and hatred towards any kind of weakness made him believe that asking Dante for help is a weakness. Maybe he didn't want Dante to know that he has a human wife and a 3\4 human child. I mean, that would be awkward to tell after all the time you said you hated humans. Or maybe, he didn't want to get Dante involved because he cares for Dante and didn't want to risk Dante's life as well as his own. In the end, after being defeated, he still doesn't do anything to change his principal position. He sees that Dante is stronger than he could ever be, so what's the point? So he casts himself down to the demon world, not allowing Dante to save him. And down there, broken, weak, defeated and without the powers he so much needed and desired, he still challenges Mundus as the last thing he could do... and fails. He dies and his soul becomes imprisoned in that black armor, forever becoming Mundus's slave-bodyguard as a mocking punishment for ever daring to challenge him. Until decades later, when he is freed by Dante. I believe that the moment Dante defeats Nero Angelo that 3rd time and he explodes in glowing blue flames, that was the moment teenage Nero got that demonic arm. The last shred of Vergil's soul longed for the thing he always cared the most and the thing he thought about last before dying - his son.

I love how Vergil prioritizes the amulet instead of the Force Edge :(

"it was his wish that Dante continue to live as a human" That's what almost made me cry of him :')

Y'know, Vergil would probably have stalemated Dante again if he hadn't insisted on using the Force Edge. If you watch him, you can see his movements are a lot sloppier when using it. Then again, there's been a lot of speculation that he wanted Dante to win.

One of the greatest final bosses.

i really hope Capcom makes a true sequel to DMC4 and Vergil returns

"May be somewhere out there, even a devil may cry when he loses a love one. Don't you think?"
