Just a heads up before some of you ask! Yes I did not using bury the light during the DMCV section and that is because capcom have been DMCAing people who have used it x_x so for the sake of this video going up i have sadly been forced to cut it D: Regardless enjoy and If you enjoyed this and wish to see more let me know down below :)

Nero’s mom: I’m pregnant Vergil: *I AM THE STORM THAT IS ESCAPING*

I feel like Nero's mom saw Vergil and was like "He has the face of the savior. I want to have his baby."

Sparda went to buy cigarettes, and never came back.

Vergil also accepted his humanity, another reason why he’s more powerful

Fun Fact: Daniel Southworth, Vergil's voice actor is the actor for the Quantum Ranger in Power Rangers Time Force. Vergil son, Nero, is voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch, who was a Power Ranger in the 90s.

I love how Vergil’s plan literally has no downsides, Urizen, bud demon half, is only focused on gaining power, which works in Vergil’s interest. If Urizen is killed, then V gets to live as a human, with a new life, a new perspective, and all is well, and when they inevitably merge, Urizen’s power hunger will have given Virgil a shit ton of power he’ll never know the consequences of, as those buffs are made for demons. Ughhh genius

Keep in mind Vergil can break the fatherless cycle. Every member of Devil May Cry has father issues. Nero still has his father so I hope that we can see those two connect.

Vergil never mentioned or feel abandoned/betray by his mother. That's Dante interpretation/viewpoint. He actually feels powerless/guilt for the death of his mother. That's what drive him.

Power Stone: *exists* Vergil: A fine edition to my M o t i v a t i o n

Lmao anyone else noticed how he said the netherrealm? He been covering mk so long he can't tell the difference between hell's anymore

2:38 i never imagined of vergil making this face

Vergil is one of the greatest lancer character's ever conceived. A lancer is basically the edgy alternate protagonist that's usually a rival/ dark reflection of the protagonist ie Vegeta and Sasuke, Killmonger etc.

Vergil needs his own game so bad.

"Don't you say it!-" "Jackpot!"

I’ve never clicked a video so fast in my life. Vergil is my favorite brother between him and Dante.

I would say that Vergil's still showing Dante a lot of affection in the new ending. That's just how he talks. Plus he's still processing everything including that epic suplex Nero did to readjust his old man spine.

"The sins of the father" *metal gear solid playing in the background*

I would like to see more sparda's back story in DMC6.

"Might controls everything..."

Didn't Dante recognize him the moment he took his helmet off, which is why he stops messing around and becomes serious? And he also threw away his scabbard when he charged at Mundus, something he never does at any other point to my knowledge, suggesting he knew he would fail.

For some reason, I was thinking Vergil saying “I need more Quantum Power”.

“Is *POWER* an instrument?” No Vergil, *POWER* is not an instrument.

I really like how both Vergil and Dante accepted their other side in the end. In Vergil's case his human side and in Dante's case his Devil side. Now all we need is a sequel where Dante and Vergil work together to kick Mundus' ass (especially Vergil cuz y'all know what he did to him). And this time it would not be in a shitty reboot, man can't wait to see Vergil judgment cut that fucker.

... You guys really want that Dante one dont you :O thank you for the support goddamn

"Where did you learn to count?!"

Urizen: I am without a name. I am POWER! Absolute.

Vergil is my favorite. Especially he uses his Yamato. It's definitely dope.

Since you've done Virgil I wouldn't mind you doing a History of Dante video. can't do one Son of Sparda without the other.

A missed opportunity was if Vergil could use both Urizen and V's power at the same time with his own.

And just like that the entire subscriber base of History Behind the Warrior became motivated

I want to know when and how Dante himself discovered that he was an uncle.

Quick correction: you keep calling the order the Order of Light. I don't know about the anime or manga, but in the games the antagonists of DMC4 is called the Order of the Sword.

Me seeing Vergil's name: *I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING*

17:15 "Devil May Cry is a very special game to me" I feel the exact same way, I grew up with this game with my first one being dmc3. I love the dmc fandom SOO much and I am happy to be able to share similar experiences and memories about a franchise we all hold so dear to our hearts ❤

Actually they had met before the events of devil may cry 3 bit before a year.

I think why Vergil accepting his humanity causes a power surge is because think of it like this: power for the sake of power is meaningless while power with the *motivation* to protect loved ones is truly zenith.

His intro music: Rules of Nature The video: About a white haired, katana-wielding badass Hmm...

Thank You HBTW for bringing up Devil May Cry content. The Sons of Sparda have always been my favorite video game characters of all time.

You shouldn’t limit yourself to just the fighting genre when there are so many badass warriors in other types of games to tell the tales of. Great video. Makes me want to pick up dmc 5 now.

Hands down, the greatest sibling rivalry in a video game - Dante Vs Vergil. So we all love Dante and we have plenty of reasons for this. So what makes you love Vergil? It's the fact that he's too motivated to give up. When you knock him down, he'll get right back up with more determination. "IAM THE STORM THAT IS approaching."

This was a great video. Almost makes me like Vergil. Then I remember him in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 and think f*ck him 😂😂😂

Thank you for making this! I don't have time to play all the games, this answered my questions perfectly. I look forward to more DMC content.

They began their rivalry when kid vergil wants more chocolate and wants dante's chocolate even he got his own

I have been waiting for a video like this. Vergil has always been my absolute favorite. I have had a hard time finding more info besides the generic description of the game plots. Thank you, sir.

A friend told me this. Nelo Angelo's was originally Nero Angelo which is italian for black angel but since the asian abcent turns the R into an L people now know as Nelo Angelo.

I'm very glad to hear that devil may cry 5 got you into the series and I'm especially happy about this video! You did a very good job detailing the history of the V man and as always, it is fun to hear and learn about DMC lore, even if the stories are to quote some people Capcom fun stupid. Great job and I really hope to see some more of these types of videos based on game characters!

Great video but I'd have liked a little mention that Vergil's nightmares stay outside of his body instead of going back so that Vergil could live with less PTSD this time. Also the fact Nero fought him to end the sibling rivalry so the brothers would stop trying to kill each other.

How i love this channel for covering my favorite fiction character

6:05 actually, it has just been a year. Because one year before temen ni gru dante met vergil, dressed in a green suit and Bandage around the face. Vergil called himself gilver that time

Man, this was a blast to watch! I believe you when you said you had fun making this, cause it shows. While DMC might not be a fighting game, it is probably as close as you're gonna get. I love this series so much, and hope to see more DMC content on this channel in the future.

if there was a point where someone or something connects others mind, Dante would show the memory that their mother was looking for them and everything in the story line would have changed. but I guess it's a good thing it didn't happen, or we wouldn't have Bury the Light

Well done on this buddy I love me some mortal kombat but I wanna learn more about Devil May Cry also and I'm glad you chose this character thanks!

So happy you branched out to a non fighting game series and one I love at that! I always thought you would be perfect going into the lore of dmc

This is going down as one of my favorite videos from you keep up the good work king🙌🏾

Let's not forget one major point, that was kinda only glanzed over. Vergils hate for (his) humanity and love for (his) demonkind is based on his childhood trauma. He's a child, who was abandoned by his mother, a human, who only survived thanks to his fathers power, a demon. For this he hates humanity and his human side, which he considers weak, untrustworthy and unreliable. Dante on the other hand has quite literally the opposite view. His mother, a human, saved his life by sacrificing hers. If his father, a demon, wouldn't have been the Dark Knight Sparda, but just a regular human, or simply hadn't abandoned his family, he wouldn't have lost his mother and his brother on that day. Dante however realises through DMC3, that his father sacrificed himself as well, in order to protect not just his family, but humanity itself and accepts his demonic heritage. Vergil on the other hand only in the newest installment learns of what actually happened on that faithful day and starts doubting his very reason for existaence, but can't stop now, not after everything he's done, not after giving up everything. If you listen to "Bury the Light", Vergils battle theme in V, there are the following lines: "Bury the light deep within! Cast aside, there's no coming home! We're burning chaos in the wind! Drifting in the ocean all alone!" He is not a bad person by nature, he's a misguided child, who lost his family and thought of himself as being alone. He buried his happiness and humanity deep within. There is no home, no place for him to return to. He truly believes, that he is all alone and will forever be all alone in this world/ocean. If he had just given in to his humanity sooner, if he hadn't tried to bury his humanity, he may would have ended up with a brother who truly loves him and a family that he could love, cherish and protect, but Fate just didn't allow for his life to play out that way. But now, after all this, he finally realised, that he's not actually alone. His brother, who was his rival since they were children, is still alive and happy to have him back (altough he would never outright say that). His own offspring and a chance to give to him something, that he never had, a father who can train, help and protect him. Once he finishes the business with Dante in the demonic realm, he has finally a place to return to and something to look forward to. So in a sense, his quest for more power is finally over

Foolishness Dante Foolishness

Very good video. I loooooove Vergil. Everything about him is amazing.

Amazing lore & depth towards this character and a first time of a history that not fighting games and hope you can keep doing devil may cry history in the future good luck 👍.

"Power.. I need more POWER!!"

Good job this made me wanna play thru devil may cry series again 👍

Bro! Thanks for doing The Alpha and The Omega video

The song Bury the Light piqued my interest and here I am now watching this amazing history of Vergil. I want to get the dmcse for ps5 but I’m not sure if all this background history would be in there. Nice vid!

Excelent video!!!! Make more videos of DMC, your job with Vergil was cool!

been waiting for this!!

I’d love more videos like this!!!! This was great.

Loved this!!!!! I would like to see more history of Devil May Cry characters 🙏🏽🙌

This video was really well done i enjoyed it alot it made me know more than what I know of Virgil It would be cool if you did a video of Nero or trish. But it is refreshing that you did a video of a different video game series of that I know of you doing like mortal Kombat and tekken etc just fighting games in general lol even though virgil and dante are in a fighting game but even so keep up the good work.

I would love more DMC content.youre so detailed with lore itd be amazing.

I saw this twice!! Once i just listened to it,and the second time i really paid attention so you're welcome HBW

Thank u bro, I learned a lot from your video. Excellent work :)

You just cleared all the little confusions I had about Virgil's story

Excellent work! Keep up the great content and stay safe!

The fact that the video is based off of Vergil, he used “rules if nature” as his intro

Thank you for this video friend.

These types of videos must shock people that only think your a Mortal Kombat Channel

Love this channel keep up the Good work

That's I what i was waiting for nice video

Fun fact, Vergil's name in DMC1 is actually Nero Angelo not Nelo Angelo. It was a typo mistake by the English translation team at Capcom.

There still few Mystery History of Devil May Cry still not solve yet.....BUT i want to say nice Vergil History Video Right Now i Really Love it.

I’m glade your back !!

Bloody brilliant! ❣️

This was awesome!!!

Devil May Cry is my favorite game franchise and I will love for you to do more content

Vergil is the foundation of the rival character, unless yall can think of someone else. Maybe Liquid Snake, Ken from Street Fighter, or even Sub-zero

ChampionAnalysis and this channel know the details about DMC story! Is really rare to find youtube channel who know details about this game.

Watched your history vidoes on mortal kombat, never expected you to do dmc

go ahead and hit up more characters. I've been subbed for a while but haven't look at your channel in so long. I was around when you were doing constant mkx videos. glad you like the dmc franchise too.

Good video Virgil is definitely one of my faves in dmc wonder if there will be a 6th instalment

YES ,Mortal Kombat is my second favorite game and now Devil May Cry which IS my favorite game ,what a lucky life. Also i like how u said netherlearm instead of hell or the underworld XD

This is the only KZfaqr who pronounced the word Yamato correctly.

Awesome video mate.

Awesome video man! Vergil is my favorite DMC character and seeing him return in 5 was so damn cool. Id love to see more history of videos for this universe!! I love that you included the manga stories too! Where did the first few images come from?

I am the storm that is approaching, provoking black clouds in isolation.

Please do more dmc characters! Besides I think you pretty much exhausted the MK characters already :P

Thank you for providing Vergil's history

Considering I didn't play DMC5 and its been entirely too long since I played 1 through 4, this was excellent.

This was awesome..thank you

Great video!

Vergil and Dante kinda remind me of Knives and Vash from Trigun, although I think Knives is more vicious than Vergil. This older DMC5 Vergil evolved into a totally different person compared to DMC3, definitely more approachable. Maybe Capcom meant to convey that his near-death experiences would have changed him profoundly. I still find it hard to imagine whatever went on with Nero's mother, though. I mean, she must have been quite a character to spark Vergil's interest. Or he was taken advantage of, somehow... which is even harder to imagine XD
