[Spoil] Just finished the comics "Vergil's Chronicles"

[Shin Muramasa]

Oh good. I was worried that this anime might be going into strange areas. Anyways, she looks like too strange of a character for me to want to watch this anime.

Eh, I like strange characters they make animes all the more interesting. Speaking of which I need to find time to watch Angel Beats and TK's shenanigans.

Well, it starts with Dante vs Poison (but this is totally unrelated, it's just the meeting between them that happens in the game). Then we go back to one year before. We see Dante in Hellfire which is a jail in human world but secretly hosted by demons. Some things are very weird in that comics (I'll get to it later) so he's being beaten by a demon when he ears Sparda's voice in his head. I translated the first few pics in that thread >

So yeah after that Vergil is back in human world with Kat in her prison room. He explains her whats happening with the world and try to hire her so he can enter Hellfire's prison in limbo (since she can guide him tough the human world) so he tells her that she have to be caught by demons. Theres a camera in the room so he tells her that they are gonna bring her to Hellfire since they will think she is Vergil's friend. She doesn't really believe and call the security saying there's a terrorist in her room. So they come and Vergil opens a gate to Limbo to show her the truth. They appear in the "Phlégéthon's lake" And while Vergil's fighting demons she go away to find a rift to real world. As soon as Vergil's done with demons, the Phlégéthon appears, it's a very huge demon-worm and he's going to eat Vergil when Kat call him to get back in real world. The thing is that Vergil comes back in real world but he's not anymore in Kat's room (since he moved in Limbo) and Kat is sent to Hellfire as he predicted. While her body is on the way, she goes in Limbo again with her spirit and meet Vergil there. They are in a safe place where Vergil already killed everyone. I will say some dialogues later. He explains her that she's gonna suffer a lot in Hellfire and she has no way to escape then he continue with the story of Dante (that he was raised by demons and trapped into Hellfire while Vergil was raised in a rich family etc). He tells her that he doesn't know how Dante look like but that she has to find him. Back in human world, at Hellfire's gate where Kat meet the Onyx (Funny thing is that their concept art IS in game, they look like towers with womans head and arms) who are the guardians of Hellfire. According to Vergil's plan she was supposed to call him once she is in the prison but one of the Onyx catch her so she's scared and call Vergil who appears and immediatly go though the gate via Limbo (where he can enter easily). Kat is now in Hellfire where she meet her friend Kylian (if you read my translations you know that he is Kat's friend). He tells her that he's been there since the Virility truck exploded and then demons thought he was a terrorist like Vergil, she stop him and ask if he knows someone called Dante here, an old dude say "No! Don't prounonce that name here, we are under watch" then demons comes from everywhere and one kills the old dude then one of those big demons (they also are in concept arts in game, those are the tyrants with a baby face and tentacles arms with the machine gun in the belly) catch Kat but Vergil comes and cut his tentacle. He slays all demons in no time but then the Onyx comes to him and he's not confident about it, he yells a bit at Kat because it's her fault (for calling him too early) but he still tries to resist them while Kat finds a way for Vergil to escape though Limbo. He does his bushin no jutsu lol but gets his ass beaten by the Onyx that throw him though the ground. Once down, he meets Kat who found something interesting, a way to the brain of Hellfire (in Limbo) She says she can connect to it to find who is Dante and what happeed to him. Another weird thing, we see Dante in Devil Trigger via the Brain (even Vergil says he is stronger than what he thought) I guess it's just a pre-DT since he doesn't have white hair or anything, it's just a state he discovered by raging.. that's only my guess. Anyways, Bob Barbras appear in his demon form (the one we fight in game) and take possession of Kat, Vergil is worried about her and tell her sha have to get out of Limbo quickly, the only way he finds is by kissing her (YES HE KISSED HER). They are now back in human world but Bob is still in Kat's head and he is sending the Onyx on them. Vergil goes Devil Trigger and break them, then we see souls (looking like angels) going out of the Onyx bodies (there's also a concept art for that in game) and going all together to reveal the true apparence of Onyx. Vergil and Kat won't fight him so they try to go out but the gates are closing. The gates are actually not gates but it's tooth (can't really explain but hellfire gates are like, a croco mouth ?) anyways Hellfire is actually a demon itself, a huge demon. Once Kat and Vergil are "safe" He says he'll use DT again but she tell him not to, because it will transform him into a demon and he'd loose his humanity. She has the idea to combine her power to find rifts with Vergil's power to open gates so vergil jump down, sending the whole demon to another world/place in Limbo (didn't really get that part). And finally, it ends with Vergil and Kat at "the Order's place" 2 days later, bob is on Tv saying that they found who is masked man's accomplice who is.. guess who.. DANTE! Kat is now willing to help him find Dante because now he is known by everyone so it wouldn't be easy for him. Vergil says that their feelings for each other might be a weakness and that if he uses once more the DT, he would turn into a demon. He decides to use the same thing as Sparda to wipe their memory (only to forget their feelings for each other). 3 months later, Vergil's on tv, Dante's drunk in his "home-car" and Kat knocks at his door, the rest is in game

k now some random/interesting things.
Vergil says that he's the son of a Demon and an Angel to Kat (I thought it could be shocking to know that in the way he says it lol)
He says that Mundus is ONE OF THE HELL KINGS (Meaning there are others)
He also says that Sparda was the "left-arm" of Mundus, so in game when he say they were brothers, that doesn't mean actual brothers.
And as I stated some demons are in concept arts of the game, which I didn't expect

Sorry for the delay....I've read the plot and I found it amazing on a side and disappointing on the other.
But I knew that there was two volumes and that it was realized only one of them while the second one would be out only on July.....but actually I can't understand what the second volume would be about because I think that with the ending following the intro of the game there's nothing more to tell about Vergil and Kat's story....or the digital copy is a full version of both volumes?

Moreover I find the issue of the kiss and their feelings quite...I would say silly, I mean you don't fall in love with someone just for a kiss (maybe Kat yes because I see she more innocente but not Vergil!); ok let's pretend that it could happen, besides we are in an invented world, if you're really in love with someone you don't say that it could be a weakness and you wipe out your feelings, you can't even thought to somenthing like this!You fight for your love!
And even if there is the possibility that it could be a weakness you stand for it!If you really love someone you can't accept the idea of forgetting something so beautiful in the most absolute way....
That's something I really like in the new Sparda an Eva's love, they clearly knew that their love was dangerous for each other and their children, but they REALLY LOVED and there was nothing they could do against this. I know that if Sparda blinded his sons' memeries he knew how to do it also when he met Eva but he didn't decided to forget their feelings because that were true feelings adn true love!

Well,now someone can say "He did it 'cause he wants to protect her" I think he only wanted to protect himself!
Don't forget that Vergil is a cold calculator and he's ruthless, furthermore he doesn't care at all about Kat if not to find Dante; as he said "Kat was usefull" -his words- but SHE can be a problem!What if she was caught by someone who can make she believe that Vergil is in danger in order to make her say everything this person wants to know?(that actually hapened in the game!)Vergil's plan to destroy Mundus would be a fail, so I think he was lying just to strongly tie Kat to his side...

Another thing I noticed is that question about the Devil Trigger....he indeed used it in the game but he didn't became a demon and I think that it is impossible for him to become a demon because he's half angel.....


Thank you very much for telling us the plot of the comc!I'm really thankful for this!

Their demonic side/nature might be able to take over though(if overused). Dante at the end of the game might be experiencing the change since his hair does completely change at the end of the fight and his eyes change into how they look while DT is activated. Soooo basically think of what happened to Inuyasha a few times, he's not a full demon but at times his demonic nature took over.

 

[White Angel]

Yes.....it works, I agree with you; but how he intends to protect the world if he becomes a demon?? O.O

 

[AlchemistFromEden]

Yes.....it works, I agree with you; but how he intends to protect the world if he becomes a demon?? O.O

which is why dante didn't wanna run the risk of him ruling over the humans

 

[White Angel]

Ok...I didn't thought about it in this terms, I had the impression that he didn't want to rule with his brother because he wasn't interested in power and wanted humans to be free.

Anyway I think we should see the scans to judge better this thing... I mean that if we see how Vergil looked like in the comic while he uses his Devil Trigger we could understand better what Kat meant for "becoming a devil and loose his humanity" 'cause maybe she meant something not material, I mean a change inside his heart (even though I'm firmily convinced that he hasn't it).
