So now you basically back down on your own words. You just said his business already existed, now you just make 180° and start telling it doesn't matter...ok
That is not at all what I said. I told you from the very beginning that Dante wanting to protect people by killing demons (which
is his business) was his intention long before he started the business. In DMC3, the business was pretty much set up, and only needed a name and to actually "open for business". Even without the business being open, his intentions still existed.
In all reality, the business is completely besides the point to Dante's willingness to protect. Vergil was talking about Dante and his desire to protect people, and how without power, he wouldn't be able to do it. Absolutely no Eva was mentioned her.
Actually, looking back on it, his business may very well have been open at the time. He refers to Arkham as a "customer" when he shows up in his office, and as we've seen from DMC1, Dante refuses jobs that don't have demons in them, requiring a password to take a job. When he declines a job in the beginning of DMC1, he says "Sorry, we closed at X" (can't remember the time exactly off the top of my head), but then laments that they didn't have the password. In DMC3, Dante's "Sorry, not open for business just yet" could very well be him declining someone who doesn't have his password.
Either his business
was open, or it wasn't. Either way though, Dante's desire to protect people existed long before the business' inception. The business is just a front anyway, so even without the Devil May Cry office he'd still be killing demons and saving people, the business just makes it way easier.
There is not a single source that can confirm what happened prior an year. And there should have been some point where their opinion divided. Because you know, otherwise there weren't even ideals to part them.
Of course there's nothing to tell us what happened then, but by DMC3, Dante has a desire to help people, has a business ready to open up, and one seems to be advertised if he's already getting calls
asking for his help. Vergil even told Arkham to get see Dante at his office - chances are extremely likely that they've heard or seen Dante's advertisements.
Actually it's you who didn't based your facts on anything from the game. In the end we know Dante started his quest for revenge. So he and Vergil are basically have same initial goal. Problem is Dante is on the human sides, so he is closer to his mother, while Vergil decided to take demon's pass, so he closer to his father. Whole plot is about duality. Just like Arkham is polar oposite of Sparda.
Except we know for certain what Dante's purpose might be, there's nothing but a vague assumption to say that Vergil felt the same, he literally does nothing to denote that he's motivated to get power because of Eva's death - all we know is that he's motivated to get power, and what mentions are made of their family is always about Sparda. Eva never seems to be a factor for Vergil in the game, because there is never any evidence to make us think as such - Dante never even talks about Eva, either.
Well you know, Itsuno done nothing to disprove it, and he definitely knows what he made. So I assume this pretty much confirms that this beyond simple theory it's possibility.
Seriously...? Because Itsuno doesn't run around on the internet disproving people of every theory, that means it's true? That does absolutely nothing for your side of the argument. Like, at all...
We know Vergil and Dante were getting alone in childhood.
In childhood suuuure, but something certainly happened to change the way they interact with each other. However, we have no clue exactly what that is - the only thing they were both a part of was Eva's (and seemingly Vergil's) death, but that's only mentioned in passing, and Dante is the only one we can be sure of who was motivated by that fact.
You basically dismiss it and tries to make out is if Vergil only tries to quire power and he didn't has any other traits. Well it's just not possible because otherwise there weren't getting alone with Dante at all.
Dismissing how they were as children is not something I did. Vergil's
current actions are what paint the kind of character he is in DMC3, and a one-note "they got along as kids" does nearly nothing to change that.
So he does bother killing Arkham but not Lady, yet both humans...kinda contradicting xD
Except Arkham was very clearly no longer a normal human being. Vergil watched his face f#cking pulsate with evil or some sh!t when they met. He was more than human, even
controlling lesser demons. Lady was just a chick with a rocket launcher.
Also I'm talking about their fight scene, where Vergil warns Lady before attacking her. He could have killed her just as easy as Arkham.
When the hell is this? The only time Vergil and Lady ever interact is when she tries to fight them while they're fighting, and Dante is the one who tells her "Sorry, this is no place for a little girl, so beat it", Vergil calls her foolish for thinking he tricked Arkham into helping, just before Dante jumps back in to the fight. That's the only time they exchanged words or fought, right after Dante and Vergil's second fight.
How high probability that he basically fallen on Mundus' head? That's pretty impossible, unless hell is just one big room.
Those three red orbs where Mundus' presence, and in DMC1 he murdered Griffon with lightning bolts using them. Not that it really matters, Vergil lost either way.
Dante was obstacle. Yet he kept him alive nonetheless.
Yeah, he has a very small soft spot for his brother, that got harder and harder every time they fought. He was willing to leave him maimed first, then drain his blood away second, and then outright murder him for his amulet third. They're one-note relationship broke down.
Well, you can of course make even more stuff up. Unless creator flat out says it's not true, there is not a single solid proof evidence you can provide to prove that revenge and childhood's loss wasn't reason why he desired power.
So you're falling back on needing the word of God to prove you wrong? Hope you can breathe with your head so deep in the sand.
Also - I never once said that it wasn't possible that Vergil could have greater motivation, I only said that the game never presents anything greater that "f#ck everyone, get power". However, that's exactly how it is when the character is so one-dimensional - there's so many possibilities simply because so little was done.
Most of what everyone believes is headcanon, even if some of that has some decent theory based on elements present in the franchise, it's still headcanon - really, you need word of God to prove you right, more than anything. At least I'm going off of everything that's in the game and not explaining headcanon as irrefutable fact.
That is for which purpose such small tips exist in fiction. To give you impression of something. You just try to reduce their importance, but they still there. You just prefer to ignore them.
Dude, don't talk to me like that. You're the one making up sh!t to support your argument, I was throwing stuff at you that
was in the game line for line.
You're the one with the logical fallacies, not me.
