Why Isn't Dante A Definite 3-A?

[PridedWaif]

I'd like to propose a proposition to have Dante to be a definite Universe Tier. Considering the fact that dante defeated Mundus early in his career, who is Universe Tier, considering he reality warped to another dimension with nothing in it and was creating things as the fight went on. Plus word from the author that confirms he is Universe level.

Dante also was confirmed to be way more powerful than Sparda who sealed the Light and Dark of the Universe shown in the manga. He even has his power sealed up because of how powerful he has become. He even 1 shot and sealed The despair embodied that took place in a different Dimension. We don't know how powerful he was but despair embodiment was one of the four Kings.

Mundus, Abigail, Despair Embodiment, and Unknown.

Dante Defeated Mundus while Mundus was using full power. He 1 shot the host of abigail who was the size of a continent. He defeated Despair Embodied with ease and sealed him without even trying, just suppressed. He only became stronger and much more powerful.

Are These really outliers to just keeping dante at a bare minimum of "possible" 3-A???

Dante defeated Mundus with Sparda's power which he only completely surpassed by himself by DMC 2, so even if he was legit 100% Universal it would only apply to EoS Dante.

Abigail isn't exactly as powerful as Mundus, and fighting in a different dimension isn't a Universal feat.

Also, careful on accepting Hideki Kamiya's Word of God, the supposed confirmations that Mundus created a universe (Which btw are contradicted in the Devil May Cry Official BradyGames Strategy Guide) are either one-word responses or links to previous answers, and this is a guy who also says that Bayonetta is stronger than Dante, and tends to answer Vs.Debating questions with "Ask your mom", "Ask him", "Maybe, maybe not".

He is definitely not reliable, and we have a Rule here that says that we will always ignore Word of God when it is contradicted by the actual text. Death of the Author is paramount here.

There's literally only one Universal feat in Devil May Cry which is the universe Mundus created. The "Fusing the Human Universe and Demon World into one" thing is out of context, while Mundus' name being "World" isn't evidence that he is Universal. Yes, a demon's name represents his abilities, but only in a vague general sense. The demon Agni isn't literally the Hindu God of Fire, but rather just a demon with fire powers. Similarly, Mundus isn't a world, but his name is "World" because he has power over the Demon World as he is its King.

Also expecting Zimatorn to make a 50 minute video about this post of mine.
