Devil May Cry Overview
Devil May Cry is a series that begins two millennia before the first game, with the demon Sparda defeating Demon World ruler Mundus. Sparda stops Mundus from conquering the human world by sealing several Hellgates and Temen-Ni-Gru with a ritual requiring his blood and the aid of a human priestess. The series follows Dante, who falls out with Vergil and faces challenges in Temen-Ni-Gru. In Devil May Cry 3, Dante and Vergil battle against the demons, including Mundus, his mother's killer.
Dante is confronted by Trish, who reveals that Mundus is planning to return and only a descendant of Sparda can defeat him. Dante explores Mallet Island, encountering demons, including Mundus' general, Nelo Angelo. Trish saves Dante from Mundus, and Dante realizes his father's power.
In Devil May Cry: The Animated Series anime, Trish is a demon hunter, and Dante is the bodyguard of Patty, a young heiress who becomes obsessed with him. Dante kills Sid, a demon seeking Abigail's power. Dante is invited by Lucia in Devil May Cry 2 to meet her mother, Matier, and learns that Arius is collecting artifacts (Arcana) to summon the demon lord Argosax. Dante helps Lucia defeat Arius, who returns to the human world.
In Devil May Cry 4, Dante and Trish discover foul play within the Order of the Sword and investigate its religious leader's scheme to conquer the world using demonic power. Nero, a young holy knight, awakens his demonic forces as a descendant of Sparda and seeks to capture Dante while gaining Yamato. Dante manages to cripple Sanctus's plans before freeing Nero to finish the job.
In Devil May Cry 5, Nero runs a mobile branch of Dante's Devil May Cry business and befriends Nico, a weapons artist and descendant of the gunsmith who crafted Dante's Ebony and Ivory handguns. Nero's Devil Bringer arm from Devil May Cry 4 is stolen, and he leaves with Dante and the demon hunter V to face their "strongest foe yet."
