This is something I'd like to have more discussion, actually.AogiriKira said:Also Toshi do you intend on covering speed feats in the future? I have some stuff we can discuss over and use for that as well.
I'd be willing to discuss over discord if you want, so we don't clog this up with replies about speed lolCalaca Vs said:This is something I'd like to have more discussion, actually.AogiriKira said:Also Toshi do you intend on covering speed feats in the future?

Mind hopping onto discord then?Toshiohex said:Aogirikira,
Speed feats? Please do, that that would be great, thanks!
Hearing that my judgement is trustworthy is probably one of the nicest things I've heard on here! I'll continue to remain active on this thread to defend the main arguments. Does anybody else have opinions/rebuttals on the topic?Dienomite22 said:I'm neutral for now but I trust DarkGrath's judgement, will wait to see how the thread will progress
While do do completely agree with you, since the name argument has been brought up so much I think I have more to add onto it. So, the DMC3 Manga came wayyy after the DMC1 Guide Book where Mundus' name was first mentioned as meaning universe. In the guide book, it's suggested that his name was meant to be allegorical (which is evidence against this idea, but I'll get to that) and in the DMC3 Manga it's stated that, to paraphrase, a demon's name is what defines their power. I believe the DMC3 Manga can be used as evidence instead of the DMC1 Guide Book here, because: 1: The DMC1 Guide Book was written well before the DMC3 Manga, so the Manga is likely more reliable, recent knowledge 2: The DMC1 Guide Book was written by people who no longer work on the DMC series, so they shouldn't have direction on these matters anymore if their word is contradicted Note that I am not calling the Guide Book unreliable. I'm just saying that later information that contradicts it should be considered far more reliable. Also, the idea of names being something "physical" (to oversimplify) that affects a demon is further shown in DMC5. When Vergil splits himself into two, Urizen and V, both are using aliases. Urizen himself even explicitly states that he has no name, and this could at least partially be an explanation as to how he is so powerful as a demon if his name (and therefore his power) is undefined.AogiriKira said:I believe Universal DMC is legitimate without Kamiya's opinion. It's stated in the DMC3 manga, that demon names are truth's, and literal meanings to what they are. Mundus' name in canon means "Imaginative Universe" and "Vile world", so this could definitely be used to help this argument.
Universal Mundus is not an outlier. When he fights Mundus, he had achieved a new level of power with Sparda, so to say it's an outlier for that reason is unfair. Secondly, that's one of the only times Dante has ever gotten actually serious in a fight, most of the time he's completely casual.
He even came back to fight a much stronger Mundus in the DMC2 novel, and completely shit on him, so we know for a fact Dante has grown much more powerful, and often holds back.
I believe the DMC2 novel even further expanded on Mundus' name meaning, as he was a literal voidDarkGrath said:While do do completely agree with you, since the name argument has been brought up so much I think I have more to add onto it.

So yes, despite all the debate surrounding it, I still agree that Mundus' name can be used as evidence to support 3-A. I just think that we need to put more evidence to the table. Thoughts?
Yes, Ogbunabali is correct. Void Mundus is different from the real Mundus. I've been curious about having a seperate key for Void Mundus on his page, but all we really know from what we see is that Void Mundus is more powerful than Mundus and that therefore DMC2 Dante (and by proxy, his later depictions) are far beyond Mundus and Sparda. We can't really apply anything from Void Mundus to Mundus, but the fact that his name does have "Void" in it, mixed with the fact that again, his name means Universe that means his name is literally "Void Universe". Again, not a feat that can be applied to Mundus without a seperate key, but that could be considered further evidence to suggest the whole "names = definition of power" idea beyond what we've seen.Ogbunabali said:That was a parallel universe Mundus, he was an actual void.
Wait, I'm knowledgeable on this?Dragonmasterxyz said:It's likely best to wait for Kep, Matt, Reb and Ci.
