AU question What would Dante be like if he was a evil?

[V's patron]

Basically I was thinking about what Dante would be like if he was the antagonist instead of Vergil?

any thoughts?

Same, only an a**hole about everything instead of passive.

There's already an evil Dante...

One of the early DMC 4 trailers made it seem like Dante was going to be a bad guy, it seemed like a neat direction.

would be like batman n joker perhaps?

That...would be a pretty interesting au, Dante could still have his sense of humor, but much more crazy and sadistic.

Vergil could be the calm cool protagonist who slowly opens up over time.....What? Who hasn't thought it would be cool if Vergil had his own game.

When I first saw that scene, I was convinced that it must be the work of a Dante Imposter, evil clone or something.

Sadly, they didn't do anything as exciting as that. :'(

I didn't buy it. He had to have had a twirly moustache for it to be convincing.

Then he'd be Vergil.

Though to seriously answer the OP's question, what I imagine a "Dante Black" (DragonBall Super reference) to be like: I could see him wearing darker red clothing, a more unkempt appearance and most importantly his only goal in life is to find the ultimate thrill by killing strong opponents, be they demon or human.

He doesn't value life at all, just taking part in an endless cycle of violence and death, all to live "stylishly" until someone finally puts an end to it.

this is awesome, but i think dante could stick with his color scheme even if he's the baddie..

I like off record's art but it's just so gay...
