Let's start with DMC1. Dante is a badass, yet a tortured soul. Cocky and arrogant, yet deep and thoughtful. Hot blooded and passionate in battle, but icy chill and professional outside of it
He may be representing the 70's and early 80's anime hero. He reminds me of Kouji Kabuto from Mazinger, Akira Fudo of DevilMan, Ken Washio from Science Ninja Team Gatchaman or Captain Mother ****ing Harlock.
DMC2 Dante is a stoic, nearly characterless badass. He says one or two killer lines, but a lot of his spark and charm are replaced by darkness and silence. His battle skills are sharper than ever, but the ease at which he curbstomps his enemies makes the character...less fun. Basically, we only want to see how badass he can be.b
He may represent the 80's and early 90's anime hero. Compare him to Dick- I mean Duke Togo aka Golgo 13, Cobra from Space Adventure Cobra.
DMC3 Dante is self interested, fun-loving, and a bit of a blood knight.
Let's compare Dante 3 to....Son Goku and Yuskue Urameshi. Like Goku, he loves a good brawl. Like Yusuke, he's rude and arrogant at times, with a golden heart. DMC3 Dante may well represent 90's anime heroes.
DMC4 Dante is DMC3 Dante up to eleven. He's even flashier, even more in your face, even more invincible. It's no longer a question of "if" he'll win it's "how insanely awesome" will he win.
New millennium heroes Naruto, Ichigo Kurosaki, Monkey D. Luffy are comparable to him.
DmC Dante is darker, more moody. He's unloved and hardened by life, broken by his past and so he puts on a hardened "I don't give a ****" attitude for the world. But he becomes a hero, slowly but surely.
He may well represent the 2010's anime heroes. Compare him to late 00's and early Ten heroes Oga Tatsumi from Beelzebub, Rin Okumura from Ao no Exorcist or Kazuma Magari from Nora. Or Kazuma from Kaze no Stigma.
