So As A Fun Fact For Dmc Fans, Beowulf (the Set Of Gauntlets And Boots) Is Likely Called That Because

so as a fun fact for dmc fans, beowulf (the set of gauntlets and boots) is likely called that because beowulf (as in the epic hero) chose to fight the man-eating murder-spreeing demon grendel barehanded (in the name of fairness, since grendel was unarmed. bc that's the only way he could know he was truly stronger, get proper glory for it, etc). so naming a punching and kicking weapon used against demons "beowulf" makes sense. [but at the same time you're not really fighting barehanded, in the same way using brass knuckles isn't really barehanded...?] anyway that's still probably why they called it that

So yknow how some people make it like Vergil can still hear V and Urizen seperately within himself, kinda like an angel/devil on his shoulder situation?

Yeah ive been thinking about that

V obviously wouldn't have any qualms about being back inside Vergil. Its what he wanted after all, its what he spent the whole of DMC 5 achieving.

Because of V now, Vergil can become less emotionally constipated to say the least. He recognizes vulnerability is a strength and that the people around him actually do want him around.

Urizen, however.. Urizen didn't want this. He wished to discard V entirely, humanity is what makes him weaker and all that bullshit. He would be furious to be back inside of Vergil again, to be mixed with humanity again and, therefore, made weaker.

I can imagine this manifesting as Vergil's demon side ending up harder to control. Maybe he DTs more often without meaning to, especially in the heat of battle where theres plenty of carnage and bloodshed to go around. Maybe he's more irritable than usual, especially toward humans he doesn't know (Lady? Kyrie? Nico? Some rando? Idk.)

Or maybe even, he has these strange urges to destroy everything he's worked so hard for, in realizing that power isn't the most important thing to gain in the world those deep-seeded desires to obtain it only get infinitely stronger, thanks to Urizen's newfound rage.

He can rationalize that these feelings and urges aren't logical of course, that they're just him adjusting to a new life or whatever, and he knows ruining everything now would be a stupid idea to say the least. But he just cant stop those thoughts from invading his mind on the daily. Like intrusive thoughts i guess.

Ill leave my thoughts there and others can expand on it if they want, but yeah...

Thinking about how Dante was willing to go through the trauma and grief of killing his brother again after he came back and did more bad shit because he didn’t want Nero to go through it and it hurts ;-; the writers make my sweetheart suffer so much and for what?

we clown in this muthafucka

"That day, if our positions were switched, would our fates be different? Would i have your life, and you mine?"

why am i just now realizing that line is not, in fact, in reference to the end of DMC 3 when vergil falls into the underworld,

but is, in fact, in reference to the day that they were attacked by demons in their childhood, where Vergil was left alone and Dante was saved by Eva.

Anyone else ever felt that all the bosses in DMC5 clicked on some level except for Malphas? She always stood out as a higher thinking demon that for whatever reason is working for Urizen out of her own volition. Not only that, she even gave orders to Cavaliere Angelo (Urizen’s creation), and I quote: “Search for the Devil sword Sparda, you know where to find it. He told me to leave it be, but I'm afraid it still concerns me.”

Dante: So what was the deal between papa smurf and the chicken lady anyway? I mean, the small fries and the rest of your minions made sense, but her? Bit of a wild card.

Vergil: Urizen, or power absolute as my demonic side referred to itself, offered to… make Malphas his queen.

Dante: Whoa, seriously? *whistle* You got terrible taste.

Vergil: Unbeknownst to her, Urizen never planned to follow through with this… agreement.

Gotta say, this is some good ammunition to annoy Nero with. 

Dante: Hey, kid. Did ya know you almost got an evil demonic chicken for a step-mother?

Nero: ... Are you saying what I think you're saying?

Dante: Dunno. I ain't a mind reader, kid.

Nero: So you're telling me, if I didn't rescue V's ass, that chicken lady would've married him?

Dante:

No, Nero. She would've eaten V or something and married Urizen. He's confused, but he's got the spirit!
