Demonic powers depend more of the mythology they are taken from than the demons in question.Let us assume these demons and their powers came from Christianity( particularly Eastern/Western Catholics Churches).
Whether DMC is grounded in Christian lore is another conversation entirely, and a rather long one a that. Some will even argue that there is no god or angels in DMC, at all.
This seems rather overcomplicated. I think the answer is as simple as that, he is a demon, he has powers beyond just been able to jump really high. The ability to sense a presence isn't that far from the notion that a demon could do it. She's human, everything else is demonic, and then there is Dante, not hard to stick out in the fold.
3) The Tower talks to him
I rather like this one.
@berto
Demon-summoning spells usually include chanting their names or drawing their specific symbols so I gather the magic either tracks them down and brings them over through teleportation or functions as some kind of hellish batsignal, but I get what you mean.
Don't tell me, tell Brad.
However, to simply dismiss some peculiarity as "well he is supernatural, it's beyond human comprehension" is kinda boring.
Yes, but what if it's true. Now, I'm not saying that that is the case here, but in any situation where you are told that it is something that is beyond the realm of human understanding I think people find it as a cop out. Imagine a very complex equation, something that takes up a few walls and there are even symbols you don't ever recognize, and you are asked to solve it with whatever knowledge of mathematics you
do have (And yes, no internet or outside help). If I say that is beyond you it is the same principle. That is what they mean when they say that. It's often brought up in Japanese paranormal studies (Though for the most part those shows can be rather cheesy) and the occasional horror movie.
If he has mental powers beyond regular, just imagine the possibilities if he didn't go and got himself killed. It also raises the question what is happening in Dante's head, since they are twins.
I've thought about that, too, that if there are twins who are just human and they share an unexplainable bond that are beyond logic or science what happens when you add demon blood to it, a supernatural property?
Another possibility I came up with... what if it's twin telepathy? Vergil mentioned woman in tower right after Dante saw her for the first time. What if Vergil was trying to "see" what is Dante doing and ended up noticing Lady?
I don't think so. If that were the case it'd be a two way street and Dante could see what Vergil does and know what he knows. I think they will know where the other is or even share an empathic bond but I don't think they see and know what the other does.
To add more fuel to discussion, what was the purpose of him saying it to Arkham? Lady was hardly a threat to Vergil, so was it simply a test to see how Arkham will react, and did he really want Lady dead? After all, once he mentioned her presence, Vergil didn't say a word, but let Arkham conclude himself that Lady should be "asked to leave". Even the look he gives to Arkham as the latter one is walking away is a rather worried one, yet later on, in front of Arkham he now considers still too human to let go of his child, he bravely stands in front of him.
Well, if you got plans going, something goes outside of the parameters you set you
are going to bring it up, and who else was Vergil going to tell except for the only other person there with him. I think Vergil's only concern was that Arkham might've not been as dedicated as he made himself out to be.
