Finally, in Devil May Cry 4, the coat is given a much more detailed and stylish look, with western and Italian accents. In Devil May Cry 2, the coat has a more pronounced buckled collar and a black chest plate of sorts resembling a vampire hunter's coat. In the first game and the anime, the coat seems to be plain with an upturned collar and short sleeves with black cuffs, though the coat lacks coattails. Dantes Royal Guard allows him to completely nullify damage by blocking at the right instant just as an attack hits. In Devil May Cry 3, the coat had zippers on the sleeves and a buckle around the waist, but after Dante's first battle with Vergil, the right sleeve is damaged and Dante tears it off. Dante's most obvious design trait is his affinity for red-colored apparel, in the form of a long, two-tailed coat. In Devil May Cry and Devil May Cry 4 his hair is somewhat parted with his bangs brushed down in Devil May Cry 3 his hair is simply brushed down, and in Devil May Cry 2 his hair is parted with his bangs in front of his right eye. It remains in a consistent style throughout his appearances, although there are a few minor changes. Like his father and brother, Dante has white hair. Dante is a paranormal mercenary, private investigator, and vigilante Devil Hunter dedicated to exterminating evil demons and other malevolent supernatural forces a mission he follows in pursuit of those that killed his mother and corrupted his brother.ĭevil May Cry started development as Resident Evil 4, so Dante bears a strong resemblance to Leon S. He is the second son of the demon Sparda and the human Eva, and the younger twin brother of Vergil. The result was an older and wiser Dante who took a mentor role for new protagonist Nero. Dante is the main protagonist of the Devil May Cry series. Devil May Cry 4 picked up where its predecessor left off but took Dante a decade or so into the future.
