Limbo theory

So, another few nights of insomia and watching that nightclub trailer lead me to think, what if Dante is still in the human world when he gets pulled into limbo and fights enemies. Perhaps he isn't aware that he is killing people whilst fighting in Limbo. (Mentally in limbo, physically in human world.)

Everything that happens in limbo, effects the human world.

It's the only way that i could explain the 'mass killing' at the nightclub

hmmm interesting theory.
i'm thinking either dante really is in limbo and the media is just saying that dante killed those people, in reality he might not have killed anyone.

propaganda? hmmm, never thought of it like that

yeah, because it seems that bob barbas and the raptor news network are designed to make dante look bad to the public. for example in the captivate trailer when bob calls dante a terrorist and a sexual deviant even though he isn't.
but maybe dante really did kill people in the real world. however not innocent people, what we would call "real live demons". maybe the people he killed where murderers, drug dealers, rapists, people that are "actual demons".
 
Or maybe the demons have also human bodies in human world, so when dante kills a demon, his "disguise" also dies in human world ?
 
I thought it was confirmed that every action Dante carries out has a parallel in the human world.
So whenever he kills a demon, its "disguise" dies in the human world. Whether or not his body has an equivalent on the human world is a mystery though (he had to tell Kat that he was pulled into Limbo at one point, implying that he didn't disappear).

true, and because of that i think i just figured something out! :O
you know the part where kat says on the street "it's not safe for me here!"
i bet it's because the demons' human forms where trying to attack her therefore she had to hide while dante fought them.

That's what i was going by and what fuelled my theory.

One difference is that I think some of the more powerful demons already have a disguise (like a CCTV camera or a human being as evidenced in the recent trailer), and some enemies just spawn to attack Dante. I have no idea if they'd have a parallel :/

good point, they might be lesser demons that don't even have a form.
 
The events that take place in Limbo do have an affect on the real world but only has, as stated in an interview, a "echo" so it's to a lesser degree and intensity. And Tameem stated once in a interview that Dante wasn't actually a sexual deviant it was just propaganda created by the demons to turn the public against him, so you can expect that Dante did not kill anyone their just making stuff up.
 
I had always just assumed that it was simply a smear campaign, complete lies in order to assassinate Dante's character further.

The reason Dante feels the need to mention that He's been pulled into Limbo is because since Kat can already see into Limbo, Dante wouldn't appear to have disappeared, at least not to Her.

But that still raises the question of Why she still feels threatened in the real World. It could be that she's afraid that some random building will collapse on her, much like how the Church roof crumbles whenever Dante re-enters reality in 'The Escape' trailer.
 
They've explained that the real demons that Dante kills in Limbo, appear to be humans in the real world (though they aren't).

Demons can only appear in Limbo, since that's their world. They don't look like demons in our world, but they are there. Dante is half a demon, so he can appear in both worlds seamlessly.

To add to this, what if Demons just control humans to kill Dante and also what is that big ass demon in the Captivate trailer where Dante dresses in the air. Another thing is when Dante fights demons in Limbo and they appear to be human, does Dante fight with the rebellion? Rebellion seems to only appear in Limbo so I wonder if it also appears in the human world along with his guns. And when Dante goes DT does he also go DT in the human world?
 
Demons control CCTV cameras so they can forge footage of Dante killing a person or something... just to show some proof to the general population. But, for the most part, whenever Dante enters Limbo, he physically leaves the real world. Everything breaks down to kill him, causing the echo and doing something in the real world. So if Dante is always seen around the spot where those things happened, it makes sense that it was his fault.

Demons in Limbo are created by humans in the real world though... sort of like, the more malice that there is in society, the stronger the demons become... or something like that.
