DEVIL MAY CRY 5 | Story Mode Pt.4: Mission 9! “The Devil Sword Sparda”! w/ V the G! (Gameplay Only)

Last time on....DMC!
After a short team up and some awkward small talk with The Non-Legendary Dead Weight Devil Hunter, Nero, ‘The Mysterious One’, V the G parted ways, and set off on his own epic adventure, partially because it’s important, and partially just to get away from Nero.

Whilst Nero blundered straight toward the Lair of Urizen the Demon King, intent on... revenge... or... something? I’m not really sure why Nero is so eager to catch hands from Urizen again, actually. I’m sure Nero is at least as oblivious. Probably more so. But he’s doing it.

Knowing this to be an incredibly stupid idea, as Urizen previously BTFO’d both Nero and Dante, the *Legendary* Devil Hunter (who remains missing in action since being punted across the planet by Urizen at the end of the gang’s first fateful encounter with The Demon King one month ago) with virtually zero effort and without even getting out of his chair, and knowing that trying to talk sense into Nero is akin to bashing one’s head against a reinforced titanium bank vault, V set off on an errand of his own.

He is seeking out The Devil Sword Sparda, The Legendary Devil Sword once wielded by The Legendary Dark Knight Sparda, which is kind of confusing and weird that the dude and his sword are both named ‘Sparda’, but hey, whatever- because Sparda was the supreme OG thug life dude, and you don’t question Sparda. Seriously, money single-handedly defeated *all of the demons in hell*, including the original Demon King, Mundus, then did some magic stuff and sealed them all in hell, because screw those guys, they’re jerks. Then he knocked up some human woman and she done had twins, half devil, half human hybrid babies which sounds like it would be freaky, but nah it’s cool- and guess what- one of them was.... *Dante*, the Legendary Devil Hunter! Yes, the very one we were just talking about! What are the odds, am I right?

Also, there was Dante’s twin brother- VERGIL(!!!), who was awesome, and he was super into POWER and getting MOTIVATED, and all manner of cool guy stuff. Sadly, Vergil was last seen in DMC 3, which was chronologically the earliest game in the series, set like 30 years ago. He and Dante had been sword fighting (they do that a lot), and technically Dante won their last fight, but Vergil still had more W’s overall, and he was cooler, but Dante was still tryna front, cause he a buster, and Vergil was like “Dude whatever”, and YOLO’d off the side of a cliff into bottomless pit inside the demon world, cause Vergil don’t even give a fck.

So VERGIL is definitely dead forever and we will never ever get to see him again in any capacity whatsoever, and no one in this game has any seeeecret connection to him. Nope. None.

Right, so V. He is trying to recover the Devil Sword Sparda, last seen being punted along with Dante across the planet. Because it’s like super powerful and magical and stuff.

So now he’s doing that.

Jackpot!
