Thank you for this. Seriously. I'm really glad i know this now. Because I've than line said to me before and i never truly believed it. Because blood doesn't change content of someone's character not does it change the context of their actions. Meaning that is a piece of fucking shit but they happen to be my brother, sister or whatever, that doesn't matter. They're still a person i wouldn't deal with or even talk to under normal circumstances.

I'm so glad you left this comment, I was about to leave one very similar, myself

Wow, i learn something new today, thx.

I was about to post the same thing.

Yeah actually no it's a nice idea but firstly that's the wrong interpretation it's not about friendship it's about Christianity - "Blood of the COVENANT" as covenant with God. Secondly if you google it and trace its history that phrase only pops up sometime in the 1890s while "Blood is thicker than water" traces itself to the 1200-1300s

Lmao this is what I live for

donguri

yea, both her and trish became a walking fan service

@@vitocorleone2413 I'm not sure if fan service is even being served here. Lady is just there for a partial nude scene, her incredibly apathetic moment with Nero and....that's it. Kalina Ann 2 could have come about without her presence, but if a nude scene is fan service, that's pretty lame. At least with Trish, her transfer of the Sparda sword was important to the story, and her chat with V was good. She had some insight on the Qliphoth root and the Apple's connection to Mundus. She had plenty to offer, I felt. Lady, on the other hand, just feel short as a contributing member of the party.

@@DevilMayAsian I'm actually still disappointed of the lack of use Lady got in the game and many share this opinion, on the other hand I'm asking myself "what could Lady have provided to the story or the game itself, that the others couldn't?" I mean "Fighting scenes?", for what time? She was captured like Trish and lost her main weapon, that's was the very reason or "excuse" for why the Kalina Ann 2 was even created. And information about Vergil or references to him? She only knows about the Temen Ni Gru incident and bringing that up is waste of time for the audience that already followed the third game. What the most misunderstand is that Devil May Cry 5 is solely focused on Dante's, Nero's and V's/Vergil's perspectives and character developments. Nico's screentime as well is based on her introduction since it's her debut and her whole purpose is to support Nero after the loss of the Devil Bringer. Long Story short: Devil May Cry 5 wasn't meant to be heavily focused on Trish and Lady on the first place and their involvement could be justified with that their absence would else rise a lot of questions and contradict the story. If they are going to have their spotlight, than that would fit in a story, that doesn't center in the relationship between the Spardas.

I hope the character depth is being saved for when they become playable...

@@solracstormhunter3023 i mean her character arc is already done inn DMC3

also, just gotta say, at the freeze frame around 15:48 i half expected gunshots to riddle the screen, so when it didn't i felt shook

Considering what Lady herself was doing, Dante riding a missile doesn't really mean anything.

@@bluhmer1990 given lady has some pretty impressive for what would probably be considered far-above the dmc standard human feats (Most of which usually end up being swarmed out and murdered pretty easily, RIP Crewcuts crew), her overall reaction time in later cutscenes (given it's D and V she's being compared to, and then Arkham) I'd say it still does Nothing really fancy compared to a lot of the later stuff but it's still effectively skateboarding and flying around the room on a missle that for a majority of cutscene and normal gameplay fires straight being rode around in pretty tight quarters vs good enough coordination to be able to shoot, toss, reload and just generally ruin the days of some demons and riding a motorcycle like she does isn't any less in-universe amazing for a human, It's still a pretty large thing considering the entire time she was trying to either attack him the only time she really ever landed a hit was when she was dangling off the edge of the 'Gru and shot him in the head despite being her only apparent lifeline at this point its pretty much come down to her only good chance of being able to land a blow on him in cutscene being out of mostly raw 'Literally didn't see that as a possibility' type things, since that was/would've effectively been suicide if she didn't have the Kalina Ann to catch the wall with, if that makes any sense

@@elivcdxv1852 Wow you completely missed the point of what I said didn't you?

@@bluhmer1990 you said dante riding a missle doesn't mean anything if you're under the assumption that i was intending to offend or start something i can say that's *legitimately not what i was aiming for*, but i can say that for everything she did do in game none of it really falls in the same general area as dante riding around on a missile, as far as the standard demons go they get absolutely shredded by her without much of a threat But as far as the particular cutscene does go, she rides in on the same bike she was in last cutscene, and as far as her in cutscene 'feats' go, the one that takes place in Mission 6 is probably her best by far unless I'm underappreciating everything that happens during the Arkham free-for-all during/after Dante and Vergil attempting to kill each each other, it's mostly reaction to the most common groups of enemy within the game that don't pose much of a threat in game or out of cutscene. I mean it when i say it, if I'm missing something please let me know, I'm legitimately interested since I know around the time she meets Trish they're relatively close to even.

Thanks for putting into words of a thought that I was trying to convey to another about Lady's character development

Given the Morrison note we get in DMC5 that tells us about the one time he caught her after drinking too much, I think she still might be running away from those feelings.

It’s also perfect for showcasing that for all his planning, for all his temporary power, Arkham was silenced in such an abrupt way.

Champion Quality

Nico is just really fun tbh. Lady is objectively the most well written free

People say that? Really? I can only imagine what the fuck they must have been smokin.

I think Nico is a better waifu than trish or lady, but I don't think she's a better character at all. At least, not with what little information we get from her from the games alone.

@@TheDrsalvation I personally can't stand Nico. It might have something to do with the fact that I'm from the south because that is the worst fake southern accent I have ever heard in my entire life. I feel like if she had a more subdued accent I wouldn't cringe during every scene she's in.

@@TheDrsalvation Shes ugly,fat,smokes and cant shut her mouth with all the stupidest and cringeworthy jokes i have ever seen in the franchise

May God bless you for courage

I agree her model is quite the looker. It always amazes me that in DMC 5 she is almost 50. I wish I could be with someone as attractive as her

@@TupocalypseShakur Damn, almost 50? Good genes right there.

@@gokuthehedgehog100 ill say shes in her early 40s not almost 50 but still great genes

@@classicslayer456 I mean sure Lady is hot and all but I mean have you seen Urizen? Goddamn! All those eyes and weird fleshy tentacles. I mean come on!

oh thank god i thought i was like the only one thinking she's beautiful as heck in 5. Love both her model and her design

interesting speculation indeed, while it's hard to say since we've seen so little of him outside of outrightly demonic, this IS sth to consider too. I wonder if that's why the 2nd time he needed the priestess's blood, he only took from Lady's leg, barely an inconvenience to her instead of just kill her. Maybe your theory is right, or maybe he was just making sure there would still be blood for him to use if there was any problem even further. Either way, it works for me

Hey thank you for your addition to the discussion. I see your point that perhaps Lady's regret may be from her recognizing how the action itself can be considered inhumane while she identifies with her humanity more. Human compassion and empathy vs demonic superiority is an established theme within the game that Dante shows a lot of with his own actions. I can see this being an answer from a storytelling perspective. However, I still believe Survivor's Guilt can be applied when trying to see this from a psychology perspective because of the ownership she takes. She immediately lashed out towards Dante at the idea that he killed her father and shouted how it was her responsibility to do it. I don't think that kind of response can come from someone who didn't feel guilt. Again I just wanna say thank you for sharing your own perspective. I know the internet can get volatile sometimes when it comes to peoples' opinions so I don't want you to think your disagreement isn't welcomed.

And the thing is despite how much Dante will jab and complain about it he doesn't actually care because he knows it is how she is coping so he just lets her do it.

I always figured since they had the "my mom died let's make demons suffer for it" trope in common they had a kind of understanding

I'll bring it up for a vote. I'm not done with DMC content. Even if the next set of videos are going to be about another series

@@ChampionAnalysis thank you for responding so fast.

The gap's more like nearly 25 years if anything.

Idk about Nero being a 1 year old infant during the events of dmc3. I wanna say that Vergil didn’t have sex with that girl until after he was controlled by Mundus, when he was named Nero Angelo. This means that Nero wasn’t born until I believe anywhere between dmc 1 and 2. When I saw Nero’s Devil Trigger in dmc 4, the susano thing behind Nero looked a lot like Nero Angelo, his father from dmc1 also leading me to believe that Nero was born between dmc 1 and 2. It’s the same as Nero’s Devil Trigger in Devil May Cry 5, he had horns or these things in his head that looked similar to Nero Angelo’s helmet.

@@ericmalfoy4872 That makes 0 sense. Vergil visited Fortuna prior to the events in 3, and when he was Nelo Angelo he was a complete puppet.

@@ericmalfoy4872 that is absurd

Probably got most of his research opportunities through them if this were true

Someone with enough patience to handle that trauma.

Champion Analysis Okay, but who specifically? As of Devil May Cry 5, Dante and Vergil are both stuck within the Underworld, duking it out and becoming brothers for the first time in forever. Even if they weren’t down there, there are still some things to take into consideration when dealing with Lady and the rest of the DMC cast. Dante is definitely a compassionate guy, and does genuinely care for others. But even with his age, I don’t think that he would be that person Lady needs, and that’s due to the fact that, as badass as Dante is, he does certainly lack the patience required to help her through her trauma, regardless of the similarities that their situations have. Vergil doesn’t have the patience for that either, and would simply add on Lady’s guilt of not being strong enough to save her mother. He’d brush it all off, saying that if she couldn’t handle it on her own, then she was useless. For me, that leaves Nico, Trish, Kyrie, and Nero. Maybe she has friends outside of the office, but as far as I am aware of, those are the 4 people that might be able to properly help her. But even then...there’s still some uncertainty of which of these characters, or a new character entirely, would be the one to help her. As you said, a person with enough patience to deal with Lady going through her trauma would definitely be of great help. My issue is that I am a bit unsure of who it would be to even have that kind of patience, as well as no small degree of empathy, amongst the main cast of DMC characters

I would daresay Dante, post Dmc 1 dante I mean, could have been an option since 1) he was there and would understand and 2) he knows her, at least to a certain extent, having been forced to kill Vergil. Obviously this isn't the case anymore since Vergil is alive in Dmc5 but before that if he was willing to talk about it with her.

Kate Higgins is a dope VA,she did a excellent job voicing Lady.

LOL
