Let’s rock, baby!Devil May Cry is a Stylish Action Hack and Slash game developed by Capcom and originally released for the PlayStation 2 in 2001. One of several projects that spun off from attempting to develop Resident Evil 4, it is notable for codifying many tropes used for 3D Stylish Action games, and for being the first original project worked on by Hideki Kamiya.Taking place in the modern day, an infamous demon hunter known as Dante is approached by a mysterious woman named Trish, who informs him that Mundus, the lord of the Demon World, is attempting to invade the human realm, and the place to stop him is an abandoned castle on Mallet Island. Dante, as the only known surviving son of the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda, is the only one who stands a chance.Gameplay consists of exploring the castle and its various environs in a style that resembles 3D Metroidvania, while the combat uses timing-based melee combos and ranged gun attacks to battle the hordes of demons infesting the place — getting graded on how stylish you fight in combat and rewarded with more currency depending on your performance. Dante is equipped with a sword and two pistols named Ebony and Ivory to start off with, but acquires more weapons over the course of the game. Occasionally, puzzles must be solved in order to move on, and there is an emphasis on Metroidvania-esque backtracking to previous locations to unlock new paths forward.Aside from the main game, there are also supplementary materials and spin-offs for the first Devil May Cry, such as a Light Novel prequel released on 2002, and a 2004 Comic Book series published by Canadian publisher Dreamwave Productions that is (loosely) based on the game's story.This game is also a part of the Devil May Cry HD Collection featuring upgraded resolutions of HD 720p (for PS3 and Xbox 360) or HD 1080p (for PS4 and Xbox One) and other optimizations. Achievements and Trophies were also added.This is the game that started the Devil May Cry series. The success of the game convinced Capcom to develop a sequel, and Devil May Cry 2 arrived in 2003. | |

Parrying Bullets: A T-Rex skeleton in Mission 17 has to be destroyed by deflecting its fireballs back at it. You can also do this against Phantom's single fireball, or Mundus's light projectiles in his second phase. | |

Fantastic Light Source | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_1350733b | comment |
After the lights go out in Mallet Island's castle, its entire geography changes. The Luminite serves as your main light source, but it's still limited because you can't see more than a few feet in front of you, and the ambience doesn't help either. The game subverts this trope by letting some enemies ambush you in the dark; the Plasmas are introduced by attacking Dante in the dimly-lit castle, and some Marionette-type demons await you in the tight hallways. Then again, this is a Hack and Slash game starring a badass Half-Human Hybrid packing more than enough to take on anything thrown at him, so the fear factor isn't that strong. | |

Antepiece: As soon as you enter the castle, your first objective is to sacrifice 45 Red Orbs to open a red sealed door. The task is simple enough as there are exactly 45 Red Orbs in that room (not counting the hundred awarded if you manage to balance on top of the knight statue's halberd). Later red sealed doors would require you to sacrifice hundreds of Red Orbs which have to be farmed first by defeating nearby demons if you don't have enough to spare. | |

Scenery Censor: Subverted. Dante has a sword which appears to cover a poster of an apparently topless woman; he takes it off, and strategically blocks the view of it, but right before the "camera" changes angles, it is revealed that the woman's breasts were covered (by stars, but still). Later games in the series mysteriously include a bra on the same poster. | |

Unexpected Gameplay Change | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_1467a30c | comment |
Unexpected Gameplay Change: The first battle with Mundus is a rail shooter akin to Afterburner; it turns out this would become the Creator Thumbprint of Hideki Kamiya, as later games he worked on such as Bayonetta and The Wonderful 101 would show. However, this hasn't been repeated in any of the Devil May Cry sequels. The final section makes you control the biplane to escape the island, blasting obstacles along the way in a simplified rail shooter gameplay. Like the aforementioned example above, the sequels dropped any additional gimmicks for their final missions in favor of the Boss-Only Level trend. In the underwater sequences, the game turns into a First-Person Shooter and limits you to one gun as a method of attack. | |

Temporary Platform | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_1664fe9f | comment |
Temporary Platform: If you return to the bridge you crossed to claim the Pride of Lion at the start of Mission 3, it's risen from the ocean (having collapsed as you crossed it), but in pieces. These pieces fall as you jump on them, and don't respawn unless you fall into the ocean (which makes you repeat the fight from Mission 2, then boots you back to the start of the bridge). You can either jump across both ways without retracing steps, or cross once, claim the Blue Orb Fragment, and leap into the sea for a quick way back. | |

Shout-Out Theme Naming | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_1b38f6b7 | comment |
In line with the series' recurring trend of naming its characters from The Divine Comedy, Dante's name is obviously taken from the writer and main character, Dante Alighieri. Trish's name is derived from Beatrice, Dante's lover and guide through Heaven. Apart from being named after the historical poet Virgil (Dante's guide through Hell and Purgatory), Vergil's identity as Nelo Angelo / Black Angel is also named after the Black Angel that appears in Canto XXVII to assert Hell's claim over a soul. | |

Easy-Mode Mockery: If you use a Vital Star or Yellow Orb anytime during the first three missions, or die three times, you are offered Easy Automatic Mode. Choosing this mode locks you into this difficulty, you cannot unlock anything other than New Game Plus, and even then you're stuck in the Easy Automatic difficulty on your subsequent playthroughs for that file. The only way to get out of it is to start an entirely new save file. You also miss out on fighting some monsters, as Shadows, Frosts, and Fetishes don't spawn in Easy Automatic Mode. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: The biplane encountered in the first mission (christened Carnival according to Viewtiful Joe). It is later used to make your escape from Mallet Island. Nobody knows how or why it was here to begin with, or why it's suspended by strings along with some marionettes, but who cares; it crashes through the ceiling in perfect working condition when everything is crashing down and the player is meant to think that Dante and Trish are screwed. You could inspect some conspicuous objects early on, but Dante would ignore them because he doesn't need them yet. For example, the Staff of Hermes can be found in Mission 3, but it's only used in the late game when he returns to the castle. It's odd for Dante's Amulet to be listed as an inventory item for a majority of your playthrough even if the game doesn't tell you its actual purpose or where it's supposed to be used (unlike other key items that disappear after they've been used in your exploration). It's actually plot-relevant as Nelo Angelo suspiciously backs off after seeing it, and it transforms the Force Edge into its awakened form, the Sparda. | |

Haunted Castle: The game mostly takes place inside the ancient castle of Mallet Island (a.k.a. Mundus's castle). Dante's not spooked easily, but the place is filled with eerie contraptions and horrific demons. The backstory and lore indicate that it used to have proper occupants as well, but now it's taken over by evil spirits. | |

The Fetishes inhabit demon-made dolls, breathe fire, and are stronger than the Marionettes. | |

Speak of the Devil: Mundus is the ruler of the underworld and the Big Bad of the game. When Griffon is defeated by Dante for the third time, Griffon shouts his master's name to request for a boost of power. Mundus immediately appears in the scene, as indicated by his signature three red eyes, and followed by ominous dark clouds. Unfortunately, Mundus instead deems Griffon unworthy and kills him for his failure in defeating Dante, and then leaves right after doing that. | |

| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: The Sparda sword. While a sword that can turn into a scythe is stupidly sweet, and the sword deals the kind of damage Alastor can only reach during Devil Trigger, the lack of Devil Trigger on it leaves you significantly better off using Alastor or Ifrit. At least, until the final battle, where it proves worthy of its name. | |

Visual Title Drop: After the narrator tells the story of Sparda, the game starts with a blonde girl falling from the sky at night and later walking into "Devil May Cry", the devil-hunting company of Dante, in the only shining sign of the town with that name (which is also the logo of the game). | |

| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_334b7f3a | comment |
Cryptic Background Reference: Searching around and interacting with specific objects in Mallet Island will reveal small details regarding the abandoned island's long dead inhabitants and their cultish worship of Big Bad Mundus. None of it ever amounts to anything significant in terms of gameplay, and some fans believe it to be a holdover from the game's early development history as a Resident Evil title. Dante himself will occasionally, humorously lampshade that none of the island's history has any bearing on his quest. | |

Best Served Cold: Dante's goal is to keep killing demons until he "hits the jackpot" and finds the one who killed his mom. When he finally confronts Mundus, the demon in question and gets the finishing shot on him, he seals the deal by declaring "Jackpot!" Apart from the game's Tagline making it obvious, this dialogue sequence is one of the earliest plot points in the series that heavily imply revenge as one of Dante's motivations in slaying demons. | |

Boss-Arena Idiocy | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_38d17b6c | comment |
Boss-Arena Idiocy: Nightmare first appears as a completely invulnerable pool of black goo which swallows Dante up if he touches it. Wherever it is found, there will always be blue circles and switches in the arena to keep it solid and make it turn to a more dangerous, yet vulnerable form. As mentioned in its Enemy File, these are justified; the same embossed circles allow it to be restrained and controlled in the first place, ensuring that it will do what its maker wanted. Therefore, charging them to solidify it is a necessary drawback. | |

Recurring Boss | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_3bb81225 | comment |
Recurring Boss: Every boss is fought at least thrice. They flee after their first two encounters, then are finally defeated or killed in the third. The Final Boss Mundus is a bit different as he comes back in a weaker form after Dante already beat him up twice, and his fights happen one after the other. Nelo Angelo's fights are spaced out evenly along the plot, while Phantom, Griffon and Nightmare each have their three fights in relatively short (though not immediate) succession. In each of its three fights, Nightmare also has an attack which forces you to fight a weaker "shadow" version of one of the previously-defeated Phantom, Griffon and Nelo Angelo (allowing them to be fought more than thrice in total) in order to deal massive damage to Nightmare itself. | |

Lag Cancel: Normally, Dante sheathes his sword after a combo, but wiggling the analog stick after a slash allows him to skip the sheathe animation and execute another combo. Moving just a fraction while using the shotgun cancels its reloading time, and jumping or rolling cancels the (longer) reload time on the Grenadegun. | |

Player Nudge | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_450a63b5 | comment |
Player Nudge: You backtrack to the coliseum's entrance several times, each going through specific paths where you must obtain separate key items. For some reason, the ground lights up trails of blue flames that point you to where you should go next. Almost all puzzles in this game have an accompanying tablet nearby explaining what you need to do in order to progress. Sometimes, interacting with a conspicuous object itself will also give away a hint. Such clues vary from to time; some are cryptic in nature, some mention a required specific key item, while others outright tell you that Dante can solve the puzzle by smacking something with his weapon. The section with the T-Rex skeleton in Mission 17 is a notably hilarious example wherein the game makes you think twice after you allow Dante to be hit by a fireball. | |

Shock and Awe | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_4c798fd5 | comment |
Shock and Awe: Trish has lightning powers. The Alastor is a lightning-elemental sword that can be used by Dante. It also allows him to channel lightning out of his hands while in Devil Trigger form. Plasmas are Shapeshifting demons made out of electricity. Naturally, they take reduced damage from the lightning sword Alastor. Griffon is a giant Thunderbird with the ability to manipulate electricity. One of the powers Mundus uses the most is electrical manipulation, being able to summon barrages of lightning in his battle against Dante or unleashing a powerful stream of electricity to kill Griffon. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: As the very first installment in the Devil May Cry series, there are many aspects that would be changed, reworked or phased out in the future games, to the point where this game has its own dedicated page for such examples. | |

Open-Door Opening: One of the first things that happen in the game is Trish breaking in Dante's office by driving her bike through his door. And right before you actually play Mission 1, Dante opens a huge gate as he and Trish arrive at Mallet Island. | |

Cave Behind the Falls | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_50c23153 | comment |
Cave Behind the Falls: When you return to the surface in Mission 14, a waterfall near the Divinity Statue will draw your attention as it contains a Holy Water pickup underneath. You can enter the short passage behind the waterfall, but this is actually a circular path that leads you back to the starting point of the area. | |

Our Demons Are Different | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_50ed1af4 | comment |
Our Demons Are Different: The lesser demons are Always Chaotic Evil, but the higher devils, such as Sparda and Trish don't necessarily follow that trope. They may occasionally do a Heel–Face Turn because of that, as shown in this game. | |

| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_53c37297 | comment |
Flash Step: Nelo Angelo has this ability, but this is undermined both by the blue flames that signify his flight path as well as the fact that he rarely uses it to his advantage. Frosts possess a similar ability which involves the disassembly of their bodies at the molecular level, quickly moving across the room using the moisture in the air as a medium, and then reforming somewhere else. | |

| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_5560dbb5 | comment |
Airborne Mook: The Sargasso are floating demon skulls that hover above the ground and bite Dante when he gets close. Sin Scissors and Death Scissors are cloaked demons that freely fly around the area. They can also phase through walls. Plasmas are Shapeshifting demons whose original form resembles a bat. Their main strategy is to stay out of Dante's reach by flying above him while bombarding the hero with electric blasts. | |

Beating the last of 12 Secret Missions offers you a Bangle of Time. Equipping it changes Devil Trigger to make it stop time, though it doesn't work on bosses and it's obtained so late in the game you only really get to use it during New Game Plus. | |

In their third and final battle, Nelo Angelo's helmet is knocked off, revealing him to be Dante's twin brother Vergil who served as one of the villains in Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening. | |

Disc-One Nuke | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_5b81ca8d | comment |
Disc-One Nuke: The Air Raid attack deals a significant amount of damage per hit, and can be purchased as soon as you obtain the Alastor on Mission 2. Then early on at the start of Mission 4, Dante is pursued by Phantom in a hallway. You can either run away to another room to avoid fighting the boss, or spam the Air Raid attack if you have already purchased it. Defeating Phantom there will usually yield a lot of Red Orbs at that point in the game, which opens up a Save Scumming exploit. You can save then quit the game, reload, and repeat the process until you can eventually have all of Alastor's stills, improved Vitality and Devil Trigger gauges before you even leave the castle. | |

Mythology Upgrade | |

Mythology Upgrade: Alastor is a sword found impaled into a statue of the Judge of Death. In demonology, Alastor is the name given to the supreme arbiter of the court of Hell, or alternately, Hell's chief Executioner. Furthermore, Alastor is a Greek term for "avenger", notably both a title given to Zeus and the name of a man executed by Zeus, which would explain the lightning attacks in the game. | |

Lightning/Fire Juxtaposition: Dante's main melee weapons are Alastor, a lightning-enchanted sword, and Ifrit, a set of gauntlets that make his punches do fire damage. Two of the major bosses in the game are Phantom, a Giant Spider that bleeds lava and breathes fire, and Griffon, an enormous bird of prey that can manipulate lightning. Phantom and Griffon are the first two of Mundus's servants to die, even before the other servant, Nightmare, appears to complete the game's Fire, Ice, Lightning trio of bosses. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: Secret Missions need some effort or a walkthrough to find since they aren't easily indicated by cues. For example, Secret Mission 1 is accessed by returning to an underwater section after you've just made some significant progress past a certain point. The game doesn't tell you the controls for the rail shooter sequence during the first phase of Mundus's fight in Mission 22 and the biplane escape sequence in Mission 23, so you're most likely going to figure them out on your own. This can lead to some confusion or a Damn You, Muscle Memory! issue because the vertical movement controls in those sections are actually reversed. During said section of Mission 22, it's also possible for the player to not realize that the jump button makes Dante dash quickly in a given direction. | |

No Cutscene Inventory Inertia | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_721325ee | comment |
No Cutscene Inventory Inertia: Dante almost always wields his Alastor on his back in cutscenes, even though stronger weapons are mandatory and much more likely to be wielded most of the time. The exception is, if you should switch out Alastor for Force Edge before Phantom's first appearance, the latter will be seen on his back in the cutscene. | |

Establishing Character Moment | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_7febc23b | comment |
Establishing Character Moment: The first cutscene does a good job of introducing Dante and Trish. She just barges to his shop while riding a motorcycle, beats him up, impales him and electrocutes him. Dante's response? He jokes to the woman who drove a motorcycle through his front door, points a sword when she looks like she can be hostile but doesn't use it, laughs off being impaled and electrocuted, sends the same motorcycle flying with bullets, and calmly takes the sword out of his chest. | |

Easy Level Trick: The Light and Mirrors Puzzle in Mission 17 ends with a tricky platforming section wherein the platforms are only visible when the lightning strikes in the background, and the static camera angles make it difficult for you to jump. You could do it the normal way, or you could just accumulate enough Devil Trigger gauge and activate Alastor's Air Raid to fly across to the objective. | |

Where the Hell Is Springfield?: The manual of DMC1 is the only source in the entire franchise where it was ever mentioned Dante is American, but in which specific state and city his office is located is never mentioned. Likewise, the fact that Dante is supposed to be American is never mentioned anywhere again in the following sequels and adaptations, possibly throwing a wrench on his supposed nationality as well. Further complicating this, Hideki Kamiya stated in an interview that the original profile for the character listed Dante as "A British man, stylish, doesn't smoke." | |

Skippable Boss: Between the first fight with him in Mission 3 and last fight in Mission 8, Phantom suddenly reappears in Mission 4 and 7 and starts chasing you down a hall. He can be beaten, but good luck trying to dodge his fireballs in such a small space, especially on your first playthrough. Thankfully, both these fights are optional and can skipped by running for the nearest door; he’ll be gone if you re-enter the room you were in. In fact, in Mission 4, Phantom drops in right when you were about to enter the door you needed to go through anyways. | |

Oh, and unbeknownst to Dante at that time, somewhere else, a cutscene reveals Trish is actually working for Mundus. Mission 20: Showdown With Nightmare. Dante thought that Trish is a Damsel in Distress who's cornered by Nightmare, but learns that she's actually working for Mundus. Despite this, Dante still saves her as she reminds him of his mother. This act prompted a change within Trish now that Mundus sees her as a failure. | |

Rule of Symbolism: Believing Trish to be dead, Dante leaves behind the Perfect Amulet on her chest and the Sparda near her body while giving symbolism for each item; the Perfect Amulet represents his mother Eva, while the Sparda sword represents his father, the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda whom the sword is named after. According to a motion artist's words in the 3142 Graphic Arts artbook, Mundus's crumbling second form is meant to show how pitiful he is by that point in the finale. | |

All Swords Are the Same | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_9502bbf5 | comment |
All Swords Are the Same: The Force Edge, Alastor and Sparda are downplayed examples. They share some similar attacks even if they differ in their appearance and damage output, but they still have some unique mechanics to spice things up. The starting weapon Force Edge has few basic combos, Alastor retains them but adds more purchasable combos and its Devil Trigger allows Dante to fly. And then in the late-game, the Force Edge gains some plot-relevance as it transforms into the Sparda, which adapts Alastor's combos and can further transform into other weapon types depending on the attack. The Yamato katana is a straightforward example. It's only available when the "Legendary Dark Knight" costume is equipped, but it functions identically to the Alastor. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Going from 1 to later entries was awkward, as the first game had vastly different controls from the ones codified later; notably, jump was assigned to Triangle and melee attacks were done with the Circle button. Thankfully, the HD Collection remaps the controls of 1 to make them similar to the other games, though that in itself can be an example if you got used to the original control scheme and then decided to give the HD port a go. | |

Theme Song Reveal | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_969fd766 | comment |
Theme Song Reveal: Sparda's theme, "Super Public Enemy", was made very similar to Nelo Angelo's themes, ("Super") "Ultra Violet", to imply their relationship as father and son. Inverted in the sense that you don't even get to play as Sparda and hear his own theme (via the Legendary Dark Knight costume) until after you beat the game on Hard Mode. But even then, this means you have to play though the story twice just to experience this trope in-game, as the Wham Episode should have revealed the connection already. | |

Sword of Plot Advancement | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_9712e10 | comment |
Sword of Plot Advancement: The Force Edge is Dante's initial weapon, which seemed weaker than Alastor at first, until the Perfect Amulet awakened its true form as the Sparda sword, which is then used as Dante's trump card in beating Mundus's first two forms. | |

Implied Trope | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_97b30203 | comment |
There's a giant statue of a male, three-eyed angel facing the entrance of Mallet Island's castle. Examining it prompts Dante to speculate that it depicts the God that the Castellans worship. Later, after the castle becomes dimly-lit, it disappears. Guess what Mundus looks like once we finally see him? The same statue, but now on a different place. This creates the retroactive implication that the statue is alive and has been watching Dante in the beginning. | |

Double Jump | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_9af10b44 | comment |
Double Jump: Justified; the Air Hike ability allows Dante to perform the second jump by momentarily creating a magic platform under his feet and leaping off that. In fact, that ability is locked to Alastor; equipping Ifrit renders you unable to do it, as well as the Sparda sword at the end of the game at least, until its true power is unleashed against Mundus. | |

Eldritch Location: The castle's layout changes when Dante revisits it after acquiring the Wheel of Destiny. The entire building is so dark, some doors disappear (which Dante points out), the giant statue in the hall disappears, new paths open up, and more dangerous demons lurk around compared to your first visit. The Underworld is a series of fleshy caves with the occasional pit of lava that pulsates and beats like a heart. | |

Blade Run: The Shadow demons will sometimes attack by extending a long spike from their body, which then stays out for a few moments. While it's out, Dante can optionally jump and stand on it to shoot at the Shadow's now-exposed core, potentially reducing it to critical health right away if you're quick enough. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: As soon as you enter the first main hall of Mallet Island's castle, a three-eyed humanoid statue of the god worshiped by the castle is on display. Later on, when Dante returns to the castle after acquiring the Wheel of Destiny, the statue appears to have vanished. Considering who Dante has come to stop in the first place, it's not hard to realize just who it's depicting later on; the player was only lacking the context as to why it disappeared. When Dante finally meets Mundus, the latter is shown as a living giant three-eyed humanoid statue. When Dante brings the Staff of Judgement for the Judge of Death, a colony of spiders scuttle on the ground nearby. Phantom, a spider-scorpion hybrid made of magma, is the boss of the next mission. Nelo Angelo appears for the first time as a reflection of Dante walking out from a magical mirror, hinting at their similarity. Nelo Angelo is also forced to retreat after seeing Dante's Amulet, and it's revealed later on that Nelo Angelo has a similar amulet, confirming his identity as Dante's brother Vergil. | |

Metroidvania: DMC1 shares a lot of similarities with 3-D Castlevania games in terms of level design, due to being primarily set inside a gothic castle, featuring lots of backtracking and puzzles, items or power-ups opening up new paths or locked doors, dedicated map interfaces for each area/floor, and having you fight monsters and demons during your adventure. | |

One-Hit Kill | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_a414c3f0 | comment |
One-Hit Kill: Can be done to some enemies by hitting them in a specific way: Sin Scissors can be killed in a single shotgun blast by shooting their masks point blank right after they attack, and Blades can be killed with a single downwards air attack on their back after being knocked down from behind. Both of them give some extra Red Orbs before the ones they normally drop after their death animation to show the player they did it correctly... as if the Blades flailing around on the ground spraying blood everywhere wasn't enough of an indication. It's also possible to do this on a boss fight during Mission 8. If the player lures Phantom to jump and land on the glass platform five times, it would break, making him fall and be skewered with a large spike. | |

Dash Attack: The Stinger move has Dante dashing forward to impale any enemy in front of him with Alastor or Sparda. Kick 13 is the lock-on forward attack of Ifrit. Though it's normally just a short-ranged single roundhouse kick, its Devil Trigger version is a combo of punches and kicks that cover more distance towards the target. | |

Lost in Translation: The name "Nelo Angelo" is mistranslated: it is supposed to mean "Black Angel" in Italian, but thanks to the problem the Japanese have with R's and L's, the letter got switched up, thus his name would accurately be Nero Angelo. The kicker of it all? In the game's Japanese manual, it's spelled — IN ENGLISH — "Nero Angelo". The whole deal with the "Nelo Angelo vs. Nero Angelo" translation ended up causing even more confusion when Devil May Cry 4 was still in development and announced to have a protagonist named Nero. | |

Mundus is too powerful for Dante to kill and Dante has to settle for simply sending him back to the demon world, while Griffon is killed by Mundus for failing to kill Dante. | |

Mirror World | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_bc5dbc0e | comment |
Mirror World: The strange mirror where Nelo Angelo emerges from is revisited as a gateway in a later mission when Dante seeks the Philosopher's Stone. The mirror world is a more horrifying version of the real one, with a bloody color palette, tilted camera angles, and the entire screen also becomes distorted as everything slowly moves like a ripple in a water. It's also the place where you are introduced to the Nobodies, strong horrifying demons that can throw their eyeballs at you. Dante also notices that any object there is just an illusion because the Divinity Statue doesn't do anything. | |

Continuing is Painful: When you use an item, it's used for good, and if you die, you will have to do the sequence (or the entire level) again without recovering the items you already used, which would force you to go back and load a save file. On the other hand, if you have any Yellow Orbs, you are forced to use one when you die, as opposed to having an option to deny, and being able to quit, retry and go shopping as later games would allow. Then again, the game does all it can to discourage constant use of items. | |

Intentional Engrish for Funny | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_c4db0699 | comment |
Intentional Engrish for Funny: Dante's Ebony & Ivory handguns have the phrase "FOR TONY REDGRAVE BY .45 ART WARKS" etched on their slides (best seen in most of the guns' illustrations and concept arts), when the latter half of the phrase should've said "BY .45 ART WORKS". Rather than just ignore it then let the fans quibble over the little things, or take the opportunity to fix it outright, the team instead ran with it and created an In-Universe justification. Thus, the quirky spelling is rendered canon for a long time ever since the novel accompanying the first game. Nell Goldstein, the gunsmith who crafted Ebony & Ivory, makes this spelling goof frequently; even the sign outside her aforementioned shop spells the word "work" incorrectly and Dante calls her out for being a bad speller. It's only until Devil May Cry 5 and its Before the Nightmare novel when the spelling has been finally corrected, leading to another retcon which explains Nell's son, Rock Goldstein, was the one who made the "Art Warks" misspelling when he was still young, yet Nell kept it to honor him. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Dante's character is based from the eponymous hero of Space Adventure Cobra, and the Nightmare-Beta gun is meant to resemble the Psychogun. In line with the series' recurring trend of naming its characters from The Divine Comedy, Dante's name is obviously taken from the writer and main character, Dante Alighieri. Trish's name is derived from Beatrice, Dante's lover and guide through Heaven. Apart from being named after the historical poet Virgil (Dante's guide through Hell and Purgatory), Vergil's identity as Nelo Angelo / Black Angel is also named after the Black Angel that appears in Canto XXVII to assert Hell's claim over a soul. In the HD Collection, defeating Mundus earns you "The Devil Went Down To..." achievement. It's just one word away from mentioning the song "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" by Charlie Daniels. In the HD Collection, finishing the game without using any Yellow Orbs earns you "The Devil Made Me Do It" achievement, referencing a phrase from The Flip Wilson Show. | |

Impaled with Extreme Prejudice | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_c93a6560 | comment |
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Happens a lot in this game. In the first cutscene, Trish impales Dante on his own sword, Force Edge. In the first proper level, Alastor flies straight through Dante's chest as well, awakening his Devil Trigger. Phantom also meets his end this way after falling through a ceiling and landing on a statue's spear in the main hall of the castle, while Griffon is also pinned to a sacrificial pentagram by a giant pointy rock. Dante getting impaled would go on to be a bit of a Running Gag in the series. | |

Nothing Is Scarier | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_cdfe12c3 | comment |
Nothing Is Scarier: There's a giant statue of a male, three-eyed angel facing the entrance of Mallet Island's castle. Examining it prompts Dante to speculate that it depicts the God that the Castellans worship. Later, after the castle becomes dimly-lit, it disappears. Guess what Mundus looks like once we finally see him? The same statue, but now on a different place. This creates the retroactive implication that the statue is alive and has been watching Dante in the beginning. After the lights go out in Mallet Island's castle, its entire geography changes. The Luminite serves as your main light source, but it's still limited because you can't see more than a few feet in front of you, and the ambience doesn't help either. The game subverts this trope by letting some enemies ambush you in the dark; the Plasmas are introduced by attacking Dante in the dimly-lit castle, and some Marionette-type demons await you in the tight hallways. Then again, this is a Hack and Slash game starring a badass Half-Human Hybrid packing more than enough to take on anything thrown at him, so the fear factor isn't that strong. Yet another example when Mallet Island's castle becomes dark on your return to it; the arena where Dante first met Phantom seemingly became empty, but the game hints that there's something you must do there because of the existence of some switches. Interacting with the strange puddle on the floor reveals that it's actually Nightmare, the Blob Monster servant of Mundus. | |

Post-Modern Magik: Nearly every enemy bio points out that the demons are used to fighting knights or other demons with swords and bows, thus Dante's guns give him a massive edge because they have no idea what they're working against, even before taking into account said guns have infinite ammo because of Dante's devil power. | |

| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: On a New Game Plus playthrough, Mission 2 no longer plays the cutscene where Dante gets stabbed by the Alastor before he acquires it. After all, he has already acquired it on the first playthrough and it permanently stays with him onto the next ones, so there's no reason for him to be stabbed by the sword in its cutscene again. If you manage to reach the door that starts Mission 8 during Mission 1 (easier to do on New Game Plus runs), you'll see that the door is locked with a message telling you to play the game the intended way. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: In Mission 3, Dante's health is slowly drained when he's in the underwater section below the collapsed bridge. Fortunately, the last Sargasso killed in that area will always drop a large Green Orb to help you recover all your lost health no matter how many times you want to retry that fight. You can revisit this section in later missions, but the game will still retain this feature to help you recover. Just like the underwater section of Mission 3, the Guiding Light item in Mission 7 slowly depletes Dante's health until it serves its purpose. The enemies have a high chance of spawning Green Orbs upon death, allowing Dante to recover. During the first-person underwater diving sections, the Needlegun fires its projectiles at the center of the screen by default or if there are no enemies around. When there are enemies on the screen, the projectiles will adjust in order to hit the nearest target, just like an auto-aim feature. The Nightmare fights make you face off against all the previous bosses, and they will drop Green Orbs to help you recover for the main Nightmare fight. And when you fight the nightmare version of Nelo Angelo, you fight his phase two form instead of his far more difficult phase three form. | |

Cash Gate: Some doors require a certain amount of red orbs to open. The first instance is downplayed as it requires 45 Red Orbs, but later sealed doors require hundreds. | |

Beating a Dead Player | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_e3034e3f | comment |
Beating A Dead Player: This is used to a limited degree, but it's responsible for why Dante has many death animations. If you get down to a sliver of health and then get hit by certain particular enemy attacks, instead of just fading to black, you're treated to a cutscene of the enemy tearing you apart in some creative fashion. This happens under normal combat circumstances as well, because enemies can still attack you just after you're already down. | |

11th-Hour Superpower: The Sparda Devil Trigger and its abilities are only usable in the two-part fight against Mundus and nowhere else (without cheating the game using tools, of course). And even if the game lets you start a New Game Plus playthrough with the Sparda sword, you'll have to wait until said Mundus fight in the near-end to access its Devil Trigger again. | |

Never Bring a Knife to a Fist Fight: The Ifrit gauntlets can easily break through Nelo Angelo's defensive stance using his zweihander. Played straight when Nelo Angelo knocked the Force Edge out of Dante's hand using close-quarters combat, then quickly triumphs over him using further punches and a kick. | |

Gameplay and Story Integration: The Amulet (including its Perfect Amulet version) appears in Dante's item inventory menu for most of the playthrough, ditto for the Sparda sword in the Devil Arms menu after it transforms since Mission 17. But when Dante leaves both items near Trish's body to honor her apparent death, they will also disappear from their respective inventory menus. | |

Yet another example when Mallet Island's castle becomes dark on your return to it; the arena where Dante first met Phantom seemingly became empty, but the game hints that there's something you must do there because of the existence of some switches. Interacting with the strange puddle on the floor reveals that it's actually Nightmare, the Blob Monster servant of Mundus. | |

Easily Forgiven | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_f36c4f98 | comment |
Easily Forgiven: Dante doesn't hesitate to forgive Trish twice in two occasions: She is a recipient of this in her Establishing Character Moment. She crashes into Dante's office on a motorbike, proceeds to beat him up, throws his sword through him, electrocutes him, then throws her motorbike at him! Directly after this sequence of events however, he brushes it off and takes up her job offer like what happened before was no big deal. At first, Dante is furious with her because she's working for Mundus, but he lets it go and sheds tears over her literally-dead body. | |

Ascetic Aesthetic: At the end of the game, you plunge into the Underworld, and it has much of the expected tropes such as Fire and Brimstone Hell and Evil Is Visceral, complete with a giant beating heart and the implication of the whole place being a living organism. You then pass through the final door to confront Mundus, and you are greeted with a bright, clean, stark hallway, lined with pillars and generally looking like a copy of some ancient Greek temple, leading up to a stunningly crafted statue that is in fact, Mundus himself. The sheer beauty and deliberate, skilled architecture of the area may surprise players after trudging through blood and lava, but it also hints that this place is more eldritch than what came before. | |

Sequence Breaking | |
| Devil May Cry (Video Game) / int_fb111d49 | comment |
Sequence Breaking: The normal flow of Mission 9 requires you to traverse a path and obtain Ifrit so that you could light up a torch and open a gate. On the way to Ifrit, you fight a bunch of Blades, Marionettes, and then the first boss battle against Griffon before you backtrack to said gate. This sequence is mandatory on your first playthrough, but because Dante's weapons are carried over in a New Game Plus, it's possible to skip a huge chunk of this mission (including the first Griffon fight) on subsequent playthroughs by striking the torch with Ifrit as soon as you reach the coliseum's entrance. | |
