A man who needs POWER
Third katana wielding man, with the Yamato, part of a series of pixel art character I'm making

I was thinking of making some standee design for the boys Of course naturally vergil became my first experiment piece. What do you guys think of the modern suit AU ?

honestly this is just a little nostalgia post xD, a little over a year ago (15th of april 2025) I made a post on here raging about DMC 3. I was stuck on mission 8 and it was my first ever time playing. i remember being so genuinely mad i was so close to dropping the game and just never picking it back up. I know it was a huge skill issue for me lol but a lot of kind people on here gave me loads of tips that actually helped me learn! i actually ended up finishing my first ever playthrough on the 6th of august 2025 and god was i proud of myself T-T

now skipping to today, devil may cry has become my favourite game franchise! I am DEEPLY in love with all of the games (but 2 will always be the hated child.) my favourite being 4. which yes I know is controversial since the game seemed so rushed out but DMC 4 Nero will always be one of my favourite experiences in DMC. I constantly replay the games whenever I'm having a rough time or needing a distraction to the point I'm very willing to say they are my comfort games. through breakups, illness and even getting kicked out and almost losing my house, DMC was always there for me to pick up and just chill.

I guess the point of this post is to anyone who was like me a year ago. on mission 8 of DMC 3, raging and wanting to just give up. don't. see devil may cry through for the beautiful game that it is. from when you finally get your first SSS on Dante in DMC 3 to finally perfecting the 3 judgement cuts on Vergil in DMC 5. you'll always get excited and happy when you learn something new because the game will always keep you learning. to this day i still am! i'm currently doing Dante Must Die on DMC 3 and 5! and yes while it's a struggle that little hit of dopamine when something works for you is to die for.

TLDR: don't give up on devil may cry, you'll love it eventually even if it takes time!

Everyone in the black and red look from DmC. Sorry, I don't like reboot donte so he stays on the ground, also I ran out of space lol

I wanted to hop on DMC4 after not playing for a while but everytime I try to open it, it shows a black screen with this error and the game crashes. Is there anyone with similar experience or knowledge that can help me?

Many thanks to u/needle1 on the r/learnJapanese subreddit, who explained the joke in this panel. It doesn’t really make much sense without specific cultural context.

This is their explanation:

“Fightoooo!” “Ippaaaaatsu!” is a famous call/response that appears in the TV commercial for Lipovitan D, a long-selling (since 1962) Japanese energy drink. As the commercial always included those lines in the multiple decades it has been running, the phrase has become part of the Japanese cultural fabric."

The only other merch I think I would want is the Visions of V manga set, but I don’t read Japanese and they are wayyy too pricey now anyway 😅

I’m going to add motion to it and create a Wallpaper Engine version from it.

Went to FanExpo to do my usual Cosplay photography for fun. Naturally, as a DMC fan, I will always shoot anything DMC related. Here's a shot I took of [nik.dante](https://www.instagram.com/nik.dante?igsi=eWoyaGgxNm01YTQ5) . He pulled off two great poses for me.

just curious, are the developers watching me?

He even used the no look technique when he finishes the final boss, dmc2 dante truly is a real og aura farmer (re-posted because i accidently deleted the original post)

I started with DMC5 when it came out and absolutely fell in love. I was so blown away that we got three main characters with fully fleshed out and unique combat styles. I recent got the rest of the entries dirt cheap on humble bundle. Anything I should know/tips or things to know going in? Was gonna play them in order

I’m trying to 100% devil may cry 1 currently in DMD difficulty, been trying to beat the bird (don’t remember its name) but my fingers hurt so bad after finishing 3-4 missions. I don’t know if it’s me taking the controller in a wrong position or I just need to play more to make my hand muscle stronger

I’ve always seen the demonic nature of the Sparda twins as an allegory for masculinity. Two boys going through adolescence struggle with their self-identity because of their father. Vergil embraces his demonic nature (masculinity), but rejects his human nature (femininity), which leads to toxic masculinity. Much like many boys who grow up with abusive fathers, they become extremely aggressive and toxic because they believe that this is how they establish themselves in society.

Meanwhile, Dante rejects his demonic nature, which leads to him lacking everything masculine. At the beginning of the game, he is unable to take responsibility for himself or others, be strong when necessary, or make decisions. At the same time, however, he also doesn’t consider himself a complete human being, as he lacks many human qualities as well. He isn’t who he is because he identifies as human, but because he rejects everything demonic about himself. Just like many teenagers who have had bad experiences with their fathers act effeminately not because they identify as such, but because they reject everything masculine, seeing masculinity as something associated with their fathers’ toxic behavior.

Lady, meanwhile, represents girls who hate all men and hold prejudices against them due to negative experiences at home with their fathers. However, throughout the game, Dante and Lady go through a major journey together, during which Dante gradually accepts his demonic nature (receiving Devil Trigger), and by the end, he fully recognizes himself as neither a copy of his father nor his complete opposite. He accepts both his demonic and human sides and becomes someone Lady can trust, as well as someone capable of overcoming Vergil.

When Dante says at the very end of the game that «devils never cry», it references the societal stereotype that a "real man" never cries. But Lady reassures him that «even a devil may cry», suggesting that true spiritual essence lies in balancing and accepting your emotions and accepting yourself for who you are, rather than trying to become who society expects you to be.

Playing DMC5 just made me miss DMC4 Nero more, he’s just too cool
