Personally I think this about sums it up.
even though the picture makes me laugh...it's sadly not true.
You see, I think of Dante like Deadpool..why? Because they are alike in every aspect besides Deadpool having skin cancer and can break the fourth wall.
The reason why Dante is screaming in the picture above is quite simple...he's not used to the pain yet.
Which is why I compare Dante to Deadpool, Deadpool can feel ALL the pain...but he got so used to it that he was able to rip his own head off and chuck it. Original Dante and New Dante are like that, except New Dante isn't used to the pain to be able to walk it off like Original Dante/Deadpool can.
In short: They can feel the pain, but original Dante got used to it like Deadpool.
Also, the haircut? That's a haircut you'd normally see in Japan...really offensive of you to make fun of one of their haircuts, huh?
Also, so I could join in the Alucard stuff: Alucard vs Spawn.
