Uh huh! A thread where we can all give our opinion on what happened to the original Dante through the years.
I'll go with explaining alot of stuff in DMC 2.
In Devil May Cry 2 it's known as the last of the series, why? Because Dante...well spoiler alert disappears.
DMC 2: Dante has been through alot since DMC 3. He has finally outlived Lady, Nero, etc. He is alone and decides to not befriend anyone else because the pain of losing them is too much. Dante has nothing to show for being around women, not a child in sight. I'm certain he thought about those things when he saw Nero and felt Vergil's presence around him.
DMC 4
ossibility: Spoiler alert: When he handed Nero Yamato, he knew that Sparda only made those weapons for his sons and if one of those sons were to pass then the offspring of that son inherited the sword. It's a family tradition.
DMC 2: Dante has fled away from his emotions and became completely controlled by his duty. He is a drone and keeps small momentos of those who'd effected him in his past. Much like the motorcycle' the women in his life had shown him how to drive.
DMC 1: In the opening scene, Trish enters on a motorcycle and attacks Dante with it.
DMC 3: At a point in the game, Lady appears on a motorcycle. At another point in the game Dante takes this motorrcycle and shreds demons with it. Yelling as if this was an awesome experience. When he finishes with the motorcycle, he learns he cant use it as a weapon.
.DMC 2: Dante is very educated on the past and the what nots of the demon lore. It's easy for me to assume that he has taken a bit of Vergil's curiosity to educate himself over the years, rather than looking into magazines about nothing. Dante finally made good use of his time.
DMC 3: Vergil is seen reading and reflecting. Because, it may sound corny, but knowledge is power.
DMC 1: Nelo Angelo appears in a room filled with books, a study. Vergil never gave up that piece of him. He was possibly trying to find a solution to his current problem through will alone. It's like an infiltration because Mundus wouldn't think or know anything of it.
DMC 2: Dante may have driven a motorcycle in DMC 2, but the end teases that Trish or Lady could still be alive. My bet is on Trish because she's a manifestation of Mundus's power and Mundus isn't dead. She is also a playable character in DMC 2 though she has no part in the storyline. I believe they were telling us the ending with that. A mock ending of Sparda. Dante/Sparda goes into the demon world, seals it, leaves the woman (Eva/Trish)in the human world. History repeats itself.
Dante's weapons and abilities are all from the previous DMCs before they were created. All of the styles were placed into one and Dante's powers hadr isen to godly levels. His Ebony and Ivory cannons are now capable of throwing his enemies back in just one hit and he fires them as if they were truly that powerful. Where-else it took a charged shot or a shotgun to achieve that. These guns deemed most useful and fun to me next to the rocket launcher. Stylized mobility such as the wall run came from future installments as well. The way he swung his sword was much more trained and less flashy, this is only because he became a master swordsman and leaves barely any weakness in his swings.
Besides all of that, he could just be upset that there isn't anymore sundaes or pizza shops because of the demons.
Well that's it for me. Anyone else wanna give it a go? Would be nice to read your opinion on things.
