• Did Not Do the Research: Despite what 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 his hair dyed for the Japanese commercial of 3. And he looks ALMOST exactly like Dante does in 3.
• Fan Nickname
  • Vante - The red-wearing Vergil clone fought in Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition by Vergil.
  • Duntee - Dante in 2.
  • Desperation/Desperate Devil Trigger (abbreviated as DDT) - The Devil Trigger Majin Form, an alternative version of Dante's Super Mode, only usable when his health is in the red, where he transforms into a towering behemoth with Nigh Invulnerability and the ability to mow down everything (from generic Mooks to the Final Boss) with ludicrous ease.
  • Ichigo - Nero, because he has the same voiceover, a BFS, and the same attitude as him.
    • Bankai - Nero's Devil Trigger. Also, the shockwaves he creates can be referred to as Getsuga Tenshou.
    • Orihime - Kyrie, because of her hair and voice actress, as well as her clothes resembling Orihime's when she is a hostage of the Arrancars.
    • In fact, Devil May Cry 4 is sometimes called Bleach May Cry.
  • Captain Awesome - Hero Antagonist Credo from 4.
  • Not!Dante, Donte, Don'te, DINO (Dante In Name Only) Hipster!Dante, Domteem, Tamante, Edward Cullen, Matthew Patel, Diego - Dante's new 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 - The game itself, provided via acronyms from the Hatedom.
    • In the same vein, DmC is also called Tameem May Cry, as Dante 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 an alternate universe with each new interview on the matter.
• Shout-Out: The name of the achievement for defeating Arkham in Devil May Cry 3 HD? Asylum.
  • Many to The Divine Comedy, especially in the Theme Naming. , , , and , for example.
• Throw It In: The juggling ability was born from 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: Devil May Cry is the result of an early concept for Resident Evil 4 which was ditched because the ability to juggle zombies with your gun forever wasn't scary enough.
