Devil May Cry: "Destroying the souls" stuff

Because Dante got rid of a Demon that was possessing someone. That'd fall under Holy Manipulation not Soul Manipulation. That's like me giving everyone from D Gray Man Soul Destruction. It doesn't work like that.
 
The pyromancer demons are stated to be souls of the dead

Ôåæ Devil May Cry 2, Enemy File — Pyromancer: "A soul of the dead who had been condemned as a heretic has turned into this evil entity."

Also it wasn't really an exorcism Dante just stabbed the demon and the two were separated with the human being fine and the demon died
 
Which can be done via Holy Manipulation.


As for the Pyromancer argument you should give the full description. "All Mancer demons are wraith-like demons associated with different elements. They appear as skeleton-like creatures in a hood and cape. Originally, these evil spirits were the souls of those who had been condemned as heretics for practicing the magic arts, especially witchcraft."


At this point they are no longer "souls" they are Demons. Dante isn't getting soul destruction from being able to kill demons.
 
Honestly, I don't think it should necessarily be Holy Manipulation just because it's a demon. But hey, whatever goes.

Since the question has been answered (although I'd still like the scans of Dante performing an exorcism), I think this can be closed
