Chapter Text
It had been a while since the Adi Shankar version of Devil May Cry anime was released, but you’d been saving it for this very day… the day when Vergil and Dante were both in your world to watch it with you.
As the Netflix intro sound played, you sat back comfortably on the couch while trying to contain your smile. There was the excited red goofball on the left, the blue skeptic on the right, and snacks in front. It was as if they represented the parts of your mind that had been looking forward to this anime: the open-minded side, the high-standards attention-to-detail fan side, and– well yeah, food. To quote Vergil and Dante, “Thank you, Nero,” for making this portal-possible, and “Got a feeling this one's gonna be a doozy.”
## When the Rabbit got the Sword from the Church Display and It Glowed Purple ##
Vergil and Dante: That’s… 😮😮
Vergil: That’s it, canon inconsistency from the very beginning. 😒 *about to stand up but you pulled him to stay*
You: Now you care about what’s “canon”? 😆
Dante: 😆 Didn’t you work with that guy before? Ah wait– 🤔 It was a clown, not a rabbit.
Vergil: *triggered to explain, it was why he raised Temen-ni-gru after all* 😑 The Force Edge is not something that Father would leave on display in a human place of worship. You can only gain access to it and subsequently, Sparda’s power, once you break the seal to the Underworld by using Mother’s amulet and our blood.
You: *strokes his hair* Calm down… 😆
Vergil: 😤
Dante: 😂 I wonder if that’s just a rabbit suit. 🤔
You: He is actually dressed up a bit like Vergil in DMC3, isn’t he? With the ascot and blue gem… 🤔
Vergil: 😒
Dante: Maybe that’s Vergil in disguise! 😱 He was after pop’s power after all.
Vergil: Why would I go through all the trouble of hiding in a rabbit mask? How droll. 🙄
Dante: Maybe so you wouldn’t burn when you enter a church like that? 😆
*When Rabbit deflected the bullets*
You & Dante: That’s very Vergil! 😲😲
Vergil: 😒 That is not me.
## When Dante Appeared ##
You & Dante: 🥳🥳 Jackpot!
*but when he talked to the woman*
Dante: Wait a minute… 😮
Vergil: He sounds a lot like… 😮
You: Nero! 😆
*as it went on*
Vergil: If I close my eyes I hear Nero. 🙄
Dante: Don’t close your eyes! 😂 You will miss my cool moves.
Vergil: How is that cool, you didn’t even sense the baby’s demon tentacles. 😒
Dante: I probably did, but that was just part of the plot! 😆
You: (Here they go, the bonus show starts now.) 👀 *eating chips while glancing left and right*
## Opening Theme ##
Dante: Oohh, I’m liking this song. 😍
Vergil: Hmph, doesn’t sound motivating. 😑
You: Hey, idea. Let’s call him Netflix Dante, since he’s Netflix and he sounds like Nero. 😆
Dante: 😆 Sure, has a nice ring to it.
Vergil: 😒 *sees you updating a spreadsheet in your phone, subtly stretches his back just to take a peek and he sees the file name: “Multiverse Dantes and Vergils”*
Dante: *busy headbanging to the song*
You: *notices Vergil peeking* Hehe~ 😁
Vergil: I have a bad feeling about this… 😒
You: About what? 😇
## Random Comments ##
Vergil: Hmm, this seems a bit… political. I wonder if they are intending to send some kind of a message or just show a satirical view of a real-life situation. 🤔
Dante: 😂 You’re analyzing it too much.
You: Oohh, that guy… wearing sunglasses indoors and in the dark, with matching black gloves. Screams Wesker to me. I bet that’s a villain! 😆
Dante: More fun with bets! 😆
Vergil: Foolishness. 😑
Dante: I bet Vergil will be edgy here. 🤭
Vergil: 😒
You: Ooh, demons being from another universe, rather than the stereotypical hell. 🤔
Dante: Yeah, that’s an interesting take. 🤔
Vergil: 🤔 *glances at the Yamato and recalls how many portals to the Underworld he has opened* I suppose it makes sense.
You: I just remembered, in one of the DMC3 manga, there’s a Rabbit and an Alice too. Is that “canon” for you guys? 🎤
Vergil: I have no recollection. 😑
Dante: 🤔 Hmm, I might have been drunk that time but I vaguely remember something. Or was it a strip club? 😅
Vergil: 😒
Dante: I mean, I lived in a strip club area back then! 😆 They did special promotions from time to time.
Vergil: 🤦♂️
You: Ooh, ooh, the president said Bio Organic Weapons. 👀 Is this in the same universe as RE?
Dante: Oh, Lucia is here! 😮
## When Cindy gave Dante her number and he just wiped his mouth with that paper ##
You: Tiny detail but it’s not “Flirty Dante” in this one. 👀
Dante: I’m always a good boy. 🤷♂️😆
## Vergil arrives at Fredy’s ##
Vergil & Dante: 😮😮
You: 😍 *in mind, “I am the storm that is approaching~” plays*
*until Vergil’s fingers became spectral and elongated*
You, Vergil, Dante: What?
Netflix Dante: You’re that demon baby from earlier.
Vergil: How dare he… 😒
Dante: 😂 *but deep down, felt that sting seeing Netflix Dante’s reaction and flashback*
## Dante and Shapeshifter fight continues ##
You: I really hear Nero. 😭 Where’s Reuben Langdon?
Dante: 😆 At least it’s like all three of us are in this show. 😏
Vergil: Hmph, that wasn’t me. 🙄
## Professor-Doctor and DARKCOM Wesker Vice President talking about Sparda ##
Vergil: At least they got Sparda’s story correct. 😒
Dante: 😆
You: Ooh, they made Sparda’s seal for the Underworld be techy. Interesting take. 🤔
Vergil: Too many “quantum”. 😒
Dante: 😆 Why are you so grumpy today?
Vergil: *triggered again* If those are our amulets, why does the Rabbit have mine? 😑💢
Dante: My theory that Vergil is the Rabbit still stands. 🙋♂️😆
## Netflix Dante playing Dance Dance Revolution ##
You: Dante you’re dancing in here too! 😆
Dante: 😆 Kid’s got moves.
You: 👀 (Is he seeing Netflx Dante like Nero or Dante3 now? 🤭)
Vergil: *looking at you* 😒 Are you planning something?
*episode ends*
You: Planning to refill the snacks! \(^o^)/
