* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Despite what [[Devil May Cry: The Animated Series|the anime]] might lead you to think, the games have never had Japanese voice acting.
* [[Dyeing for Your Art]]: [[Reuben Langdon]], Dante's [[Ink Suit Actor]], had [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuq2F66QeP4 his hair dyed for the Japanese commercial of ''Devil May Cry 3'']. And he looks ALMOST exactly like Dante does in ''Devil May Cry 3''.
* [[Executive Meddling]]: According to Ninja Theory, Dante's massive redesign was pushed by Capcom themselves, having tried not to stray too far from the original template before being pushed to "go crazy with it".
* [[Fan Nickname]]:

** [[You Don't Look Like You|Not!Dante, Donte, Don'te]], [[Fun with Acronyms|DINO]] ('''D'''ante '''I'''n '''N'''ame '''O'''nly) Hipster!Dante, [[Author Avatar|Domteem, Tamante]], [[Twilight (novel)|Edward Cullen]], [[Scott Pilgrim|Matthew Patel]], Diego - Dante's [[Darker and Edgier|new]] [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|design]] in ''[[DmC: Devil May Cry]]'', the seemingly [[In Name Only]] [[Continuity Reboot]] of the series.
*** Dante May Cry, Dante Made Crappy, Disappoints Many Customers, Dick Move Capcom:
*** In the same vein, ''DmC'' is also called [[Self-Insert Fic|Tameem May Cry]], as Dante [[Author Avatar|has been redesigned to resemble]] Tameem Antoniades, Ninja Theory's chief designer. This is further twisted into Tameem Will Cry, as fans don't like his smug attitude regarding the changes made for the game, as well as what they perceive as him spiting on the history of the original Dante.
*** Providing further ammunition to those declaring [[In Name Only]] is the fact that this new "Dante" is half angel instead of half human. Yeah.
* [[Flip-Flop of God]]: Ninja Theory's ''DmC: Devil May Cry'' seems to have gone from a prequel, to a [[Continuity Reboot]], to [[Ultimate Universe|an alternate universe]] with each new interview on the matter.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Nero is voiced by [[Johnny Yong Bosch]], who also did the English voicing for [[Bleach|Ichigo Kurosaki]] and [[Trigun|Vash the Stampede]]. Vergil is voiced by Daniel Southworth, who was the Quantum Ranger on ''[[Power Rangers Time Force]]''. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBrdDjmQVdI Quantum Power]!
** They both also did the [[Motion Capture]] for their respective roles. Yes, including all the stunts and martial arts.
** Lady is [[Kari Wahlgren]] and Kyrie is [[Stephanie Sheh]].
** [[Liam O'Brien]] voiced Sanctus.
** [[Mary Elizabeth McGlynn]] voices Nevan in ''Devil May Cry 3'' and Echidna in ''Devil May Cry 4''. [[Kyle Hebert]] voices Baal and Dagon in ''Devil May Cry 4''. As for Credo, [[Dead Rising|he's covered wars, ya know]].
** Wait a sec... Mundus (Tony Daniels) is [[X-Men (animation)|Gambit's]] [[The Other Darrin|second VA]]? And [[Sailor Moon|Wiseman and Jedite]]?! Considering [[Eldritch Abomination|the second]], it's ''very'' fitting.
* [[No Export for You]]: The two-volume novelization of ''Devil May Cry 4''.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Dante's voice actors. They didn't bring one back for a second game until ''Devil May Cry 4''.
** This is made even more jarring if one considers Dante's appearance as a [[Secret Character]] in the PS2 version of ''[[Viewtiful Joe]]''. Although it came out a year after ''Devil May Cry 2'' (where he was voiced by Matthew Kaminsky), Dante's voice actor is the same as the original game (Drew Coombs). In other words, it went from Drew Coombs, to Matthew Kaminsky, ''back'' to Drew Coombs, and then finally to [[Reuben Langdon]], who has been voicing Dante ever since ''Devil May Cry 3''.
*** This doesn't even factor in Dante's ''other'' out-of-universe appearance as an [[Guest Fighter]] in ''[[Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne]]'', where Dante's voice actor is Kaminsky again (however, it's just a case of [[Non Dubbed Grunts|reusing his grunts and warcries]] from ''Devil May Cry 2'').
*** It would appear that Dante is being Darrin'd again for the reboot.
** Trish's VA was also subjected to this, as it changed from Sarah Lafleur in ''Devil May Cry 1'' to Danielle Burgio in ''Devil May Cry 4''. It would seem that out of all of the recurring characters (what few there are), only Lady has kept her VA ([[Kari Wahlgren]]).
* [[Throw It In]]: The juggling ability was born from [[Ascended Glitch|a glitch]] in ''[[Onimusha]]'', which allowed you to do just that with enemies. It was fixed before release, but it was so [[Crazy Awesome]] that Capcom ''had'' to reuse it somewhere.
* [[What Could Have Been]]:
* [[What Could Have Been]]: [[Devil May Cry]] is the result of an early concept for [[Resident Evil 4]] which was ditched because the ability to [[Crazy Awesome|juggle zombies with your gun forever]] wasn't [[Narm|scary]] enough.▼
** Dante was set to appear in ''[[Soul Series|Soulcalibur III]]'', but didn't quite make the roster. It's a shame, considering the [[Guest Fighter]]s in both previous and subsequent titles.
** Arkham was originally going to go by the name of Hyne (pronounced Hai-neh), but [[Reuben Langdon]] (Dante) didn't think it would work in English and convinced Capcom to change it. {{spoiler|Jester was also named Joker early on in production}}.
** Nero was originally going to be named Rodin, after the famed French sculptor who once created [[wikipedia:The Gates of Hell|a motif of a]] [[Hell Gate]] mentioned in ''The Divine Comedy''.
