Devil May Cry/Tear Jerker
- Devil May Cry 1 has Dante didn't take well on Trish working for Mundus. Even if he saves her because she looks like his dead mother, he doesn't want to see her ever again, going so far as to cross the line by put her at gunpoint, shouting that even if she looks like his mother, Trish is just a soulless demon, then drops his gun, and walks away in anger and sadness.
Trish: "Uh... Dante! Dante why did you save my life?" |
- Trish even makes that look in the face after the last statement.
- To think this is the scene where he's all serious instead of snarking her about it.
- Before that, there is a revelation of Nelo Angelo: it's Vergil!
- And then she takes an attack from Mundus that was aimed at Dante, and apparently dies because of it. His tears after the first two battles with Mundus made me weep a little.
- How about when Trish tries to apologize to Dante for selling him out to Mundus, she has Tears of Remorse?
- Dante realizing who Nelo Angelo really was... after he's destroyed him.
- Lucia in Devil May Cry 2 trying to get Dante to kill her.
- From the bits of Dante's backstory we see, he was a happy and carefree child. Then he loses his family during a demon attack, and the rest of his life became a lot worse.
- It seems to be the same for Vergil, which makes it even worse. Depending on whether you consider the manga canon, it gets very, very worse... and never really gets better.
- The ending of Devil May Cry 3. First, there's the part where Vergil tells Dante to return to the human world and takes a very deliberate, implicitly suicidal fall off the edge of the cliffs where they fought. Knowing his REAL fate actually makes it worse in a way. But what really gets me is when Dante cries for his brother... and, being Dante, says that it's "only the rain". *sniffle*
