They didn't put together that Akechi had already been to the Metaverse until tried to join the team.

I doubt that.

Nah, she only won in the anime because her tech was bullsh*it.

Pretty sure the core theme isn't well represented here. Lady letting Arkham go backfired and at the of the game, she goes through with killing him because he realized that he was beyond redemption. This scene is more about Lady letting her human emotions get in the way of making a rational decision.

Its less that he was scared of demons and more that demons represented the power he lacked. His wife even called him out on the fact that when the demon attacked, he totally froze.

Medieval Gallantmon has already got its own teaser for Time Stranger, so they might be doing something with Witchelny.

Jeremiah wasn't really redeemed. He just swapped sides.

Jeremiah was never redeemed at all. He just changed sides.

How was Suzaku two faced?

Honestly, it was Jeremiah. Jeremiah didn't really feel bad about his previous actions nor did he get portrayed as a victim of circumstance. He just changed sides due to a prior allegience.

Sure, but it doesn't really change the fact that his obsession with Saber is way more prominent in the Fate route for no real narrative reason.

Arkham kicked them all away like that because he waited for Dante and Vergil to exhaust each other. He knew he couldn't take either of them in a fair fight. He didn't have the power of Sparda for 95% of the game.

So your saying Vergil following someone out of loyalty or a shared goal makes him more a bitch then being "defeated miserably"?

Dante in the anime doesn't have Ebony or Ivory and Lady in the games doesn't have advanced technology. Heck, your talking about Dante in DMC4, who is like 20 years older and far more experienced than the Dante in the anime. Dante in DMC3 wouldn't be able to pull off most of the stuff that DMC4 Dante does.

This story is a rewrite of the games. That fact that it was an original story that was non-canon to he games was announced months before the series was released.

Arkham was the main villain for just the last stretch of the game. He manipulated everyone, but that didn't make him particularly intimidating because he was intentionally not made out as a serious threat for most of the game. Jester was annoying and Arkham was Vergil 's lackey. For another example, Sanctus in DMC4 wasn't particularly intimidating because while he manipulated Nero and Credo, the game opens with him getting shot.

Vergil didn't hate demons. He was more or less apathetic to them. Unlike Dante, he fully embraced his demonic heritage before DMC3. He wanted power, and demons were a tool to get more powerful. Why are you opposed to the idea of Mundus manipulating Sparda's son to willingly be his servant? It's honestly more messed up then mind controlling him. With your logic Vergil in 3 is a bitch for being manipulated by Arkham.

Did you watch the fight? Dante has the clear physical advantage and Lady got the upper hand by using the mercs as shields and catching him off guard with her tech. If she has the equipment that DMC3 lady had, Dante wouldn't have had any trouble. Good try though.

I like the Netflix series, and judging from the reviews, so did most people. The only people that seem to dislike it are hardcore fans of the games.

For the most part, sure, but the. You also get cases like Gilgamesh, where he is noticably more obsessed with Saber in the Fate route.

It seems like Nasu just dislikes having properly established timeline. That's why pretty much every Fate series either takes place in an alternate timeline or is intentionally vague about fifth war.

Personally, I just see it as Nasu not like his stories to have an established canon. That's why the fate series has so many alternate universe spinoffs instead of a cohesive timeline.

Nasu stated that it was an alternate universe or something along those lines. It was really just a. A quick explanation to explain away inconsistencies between the two stories.

That was honestly a quick explanation to explain away any inconsistencies between the two stories. They are always treated as being the same universe.

Wait when did she put her chivalry above innocent lives in Zero?

Didn't DMC4 have politics too? I mean, I know Fortuna was a fictional place, but the Order was their governmental body.

Netflix doesn't care about promoting the game. They care about getting a series people with watch. Capcom might have cared when they signed off, but they weren't really involved in the whole thing. For all we know they just took their paycheck and walked away. It's not the first time Netflix has created a show while the original material was ignored.

Castlevania is the best example. They never came out with a new game after he Netflix series took off. They bundled old games online, but that was in response to how popular the series was, not because the series was somehow mean for promote them.

Unless they announce DMC 6 in a few months, there's nothing to promote.

They do with some characters but generally speaking, in the games, demons are treated as evil by nature. That why outliers (Sparda, Dante, Trish, etc..) are considered so notable.

The thing is, the games make a point of morally good demons being the outliers. They never explore demon society enough to question whether demons are actually evil by nature. It's just treated as a given.

Oh yeah the anime didn't have much of that.

I don't think the anime was meant to hype people for the games. Heck the most recent game came out over 6 years ago. It seems like it was more supposed to be an independent project that existed totally separate from the games but was based around their lore.

I personally see it as a good adaptation of the lore because it keeps the main lore (Sparda sealing away the demon world) while adding new context that develops the story.
