So Yall Know The Classic Edge Trope Of My Blade Cannot Be Sheathed Until It Has Tasted Blood? What If

So y’all know the classic edge trope of “my blade cannot be sheathed until it has tasted blood”? What if a magic sword that has that requirement, except it’s sort of inverted. A sword that, instead of being inhabited by an evil spirit which once awakened cannot be lulled back to sleep except by blood sacrifice, was inhabited by a benevolent spirit who would not allow the sword to be drawn unless bloodshed were the only possible solution. A sword whose power could never be misused because it would only allow itself to be used in situations where it was justified. What about a Paladin who spends their entire journey fighting with a sheathed sword, incapacitating but never killing or maiming. The party believes that the Paladin has taken an oath of no killing, until they face the big villain. And it is in that moment, and that moment alone, that the sword will allow itself to be drawn.

Idk, this image set my mindwheels a-turning.

But do y’all see the vision?

TELL ME WHY IM JUST NOW LEARNING THAT MUNDUS' NAME IN THE REBOOT IS BOB.

Edit: I was wrong his name is still Mundus. Still a funny name for a demon tho oof

“Don’t be late to the party!”

GOT AN EVEN BETTER PHOTO, ALSO FIGURED OUT YOU CAN MOVE THE CAMERA IN THE MENU

GUYS

THERES A LOGO ONE OF THE MACHINES (pretty sure its a vice or a hand drill) IN NICO'S VAN WORKSHOP THAT SAYS SPARDATOOLS

Finally, Vergil.

His hair and eyes glow a little and he gets those arm flames, which is what Yamato becomes in this form iirc. I didnt actually see if Yamato went away or not but id assume this is him absorbing it.

Also i find it very interesting that Vergil closes his eyes as he transforms, whereas the other two keep theirs open.

No magical circle as he transforms, even that explosion doesnt have it. However

It is there as he changes out of DT.

Lastly a couple of interesting bits. I only just noticed the front of his SDT has a V on it. And the second pic is what happens the moment the SDT gauge is primed to activate.

i thought the sdt model is just appearing above him, but he's literally transforming????

I thought about an AU idea. What if Mundus still sends demons to kill Eva, but he "saves" and adopts Dante and Vergil and raises them to become his new generals? Without the need to Nelo Angelo them.
