Even after their intense duels and conflicts in Devil May Cry 3, Dante still tries to prevent Vergil from willingly falling off the edge of the Human World into the Demon World, and goes so far as to cry over losing him. He cared deeply for his mother and, despite their differences and conflicting ideals, for his brother, Vergil. In addition, Dante values family and friends very highly. Though Dante is quoted as believing that "Humans are often worse than demons" in the anime, he refuses to kill full-blooded humans for any reason, believing it would make him no better than any Devil, be it human or demon. Unusually, while he has displayed discomfort with his own demonic side, only coming to accept it following the events of Devil May Cry 3, Dante has little qualms about accepting demons that choose the side of good and admires their desire to be human, such as Trish and Bradley. He can be counted on to do the right thing, even if he makes humorously cynical quips about it the entire time.

Although seemingly shown at times to be uncaring or callous, Dante maintains a very strong sense of justice like his father, and prefers to fight fairly, never fighting humans or opponents weaker than him. He can be serious when the situation calls for it, but still maintains an overall laid-back demeanor during tense situations, and is never without a witty taunt or comeback. While maturing as time goes by, Dante never loses his care-free, devil-may-care attitude, except in Devil May Cry 2. Dante also displays a fearless, almost disinterested attitude towards incredibly dangerous situations, such as assuming Trish simply had to use the bathroom after crashing through his office's front door on a motorcycle, being attacked by the Seven Hells in his office, being swallowed by Echidna, and effortlessly shrugging off wounds such as a head shot or impalement numerous times, the latter of which happens quite frequently for the Devil Hunter. His motion capture actor was Kenji Hata in the first game.Īs seen in the beginning of the series, Dante is incredibly flippant, casually mouthing off to even the most powerful of demons, and he generally enjoys showing off and taunting his adversaries as often as he can. He has also been voiced by Drew Coombs in the first game and the first Viewtiful Joe installment, Jonathan Mallen in the first game when younger, Matthew Kaminsky in Devil May Cry 2, and Patrick Seymour in the English version of Pinnacle of Combat. Devil May Cry, as well as Ryōma Baba in The Live Hacker, and in English version, as of the third game, he is voiced by Reuben Langdon, who also currently voices Ken Masters. In Japanese version, he is voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa (who also voiced Minato Namikaze from Naruto), in most of his appearances and by Hiroki Suzuki in Sengoku Basara vs.
