Dante's Rebellion (Devil May Cry)

[LordGriffin1000]

Since Vergil (Devil May Cry) Yamato can ignore durability by cutting through space would that give Dante (Devil May Cry) Resistance to Spatial Manipulation via Rebellion since he has repeatedly clashed it with Yamato in his fight with Vergil but Yamato never split Rebellion?.

 

[LordGriffin1000]

Bump

 

[Sparda_20000000]

I don't see a problem with adding this

 

[HST_Master]

I think that only applies to judgement cut since Lady's bazooka was able to deflect it, although that may be a outlier thanks to DMC4

Hmmm... let's see what more people think.

 

[Sparda_20000000]

We do see Yamato actually cut Nero's devil bringer and it's the only thing we have seen cut though it

 

[TISSG7Redgrave]

i think only the sword would be like that and not the person though idk...

 

[Sparda_20000000]

With rebellion Dante would be able to block spatial attacks which could be classed as having a resistance to it

That's why I said "via Rebellion", basically if someone could cut through Space Dante could block it with Rebellion.

But I wanted to see if people agree to it.

 

[Dienomite22]

Wouldn't Dante have resistance to Spatial Manipulation as well for fighting Vergil 3 times? or was this already discussed and considered a no?

 

[LordGriffin1000]

Dante would need to physically tank Vergil's Yamato slashes which to my knowledge he's never done.

Note: However my Devil May Cry knowledge isn't that high so I don't fully know.

 

[Dienomite22]

I understand that but he fought Vergil 3 times in DMC3, there is no reason to suggest Vergil didn't use the slash during one of those fights especially since Vergil was going all out.Plus Nero trying to use a slash with Yamato and Dante dodging it hints at Dante knowing the Yamato has ranged attacks.

 

[LordGriffin1000]

True, but I'm not 100%, gotta wait for more input.

 

[EliminatorVenom]

I agree with this.

 

[Dienomite22]

Plus how Dante uses the Yamato in the DMC4 cutscenes and during gameplay supports this as well

 

[TISSG7Redgrave]

well via rebellion is fine Dante himself never tanked it he was stabbed only first fight second idk third seems dante owned vergil somewhat but idk about Dante tanking spatial manipulation only dodging

 

[Schnee_One]

Damn this is gonna get Nero's match with Akame removed.

Anyway I agree

 

[Dienomite22]

@TISSGTRedgrave I'm pretty sure we never saw Rebellion tank spatial manipulation either, it was just assumed to due to it being a sort of counter to Yamato although that's just head canon and I don't know how Rebellion could block Dimensional slash seeing as it's an attack from all directions meaning Dante should still be hurt by it.The only thing we know that blocks Yamato's Dimension slash is the Royal Guard style and that makes more sense than Rebellion having the ability to block omnidirectional attacks or Dante just having resistance to it without doing anything plus it's the route that involves the least speculation since Royal Guard is shown to block it rather than us making Rebellion or Dante resist it.Also, Dante dodging Nero's slash was more to toy with him rather than him not being able to do something about it seeing as if Rebellion was resistant to Spatial Manipulation then he could use that to block the attack and because Dante was toying with him the whole "fight".

 

[PrettyFearMachine]

IMO, this is a pretty important subject, so bumping this

 

[Sparda_20000000]

So are we adding this or not?

We need a staff input in order to decide it

Vergil slashed him in the end cutscenes of the second fight

If I recall Yamato does not cut through space, its only special abilities it does that do so, e.g. judgement cut. Its been blocked by lady before, may have been blocked by other things besides but I cannot recall other than that;. There is nothing shown of Dante or rebellion being hit by judgement cut so all that is just head canon.

This is what I thought, I just assumed since Vergil is actually trying to kill Dante, he would resort to his Judgment Cut move but like you said it's headcannon.

 

[Dienomite22]

Don't really get what you two are saying, are you both saying Dante doesn't have resistance to Spatial Manipulation in his arsenal because we haven't seen it or something?

That's pretty much what where saying, we don't usually grant resistances if the character hasn't actually shown to resist it. This is of course if Yamato cuts through space without Judgment Cut, though as I pointed out in my latest comment, it's a possibility that Vergil did try Judgment Cut considering he is trying to kill Dante so he should go for Judgment Cut, though it wasn't shown so it's only possible resistance to Spatial Manipulation at best.

 

[Dienomite22]

The way Dante uses Yamato in DMC4 on the Hellgate in Fortuna seems to show that Judgement Cut isn't needed unless that's what Judgement Cut actually looks like and the blue slashes that we usually see are just for gameplay or cinematic reasons like when Nero tried to use it on Dante and Agnus.

Either way, Dante should have resistance to Spatial Manipulation due to the way he uses and acts towards Yamato in DMC4 that implies he knows what Yamato can do and that he knows of the Dimension Slash and how he fights Vergil who is more than willing to kill him as shown throughout DMC3.

 

[LordGriffin1000]

You must be referring to the scene where he splits the Hellgate from a distance. I would like to point out that characters in fiction can send shockwaves off their blades, someone that comes to mind is Zoro from One Piece.

I'd like to not that I do think Dante could have Resistance to Spatial Manipulation, hell that's why I made this thread but its not 100%.

 

[Dienomite22]

That shockwave thing is true, Dante is able to do the Dimension Slash with Yamato so that could also be an explanation for what happened but then again it could've just been a cool moment.

 

[VoidReaper]

My interpretation was that it was just judgement cut without the blue glow. Sending shockwaves at range with his blades does not come to mind as something I usually see from Dante with other weapons other than Yamato.

 

[Dienomite22]

^My thoughts aswell

 

[PrettyFearMachine]

It's already been two months, but anyway...

I agree as well
