Devil May Cry 5 -Visions of V- Chapter 0

Having gone their own way, Griffon does his best to help V descend the Qliphoth. Because his powers are growing weaker, Griffon ends up dropping V. As V struggles to keep moving forward, he runs into a trap laid by Malphas, which strips him of his familiars and renders him unconscious. Shoulder Teammate: V can ride on the shoulder of his golem familiar Nightmare, allowing the player to control its actions. Break the Haughty: Noted by V himself. In the prequel novel Before the Nightmare, Dante tells him "There's no crime in turning tail V, these things might be a little too much for you." V reflects that once upon a time, being told something like that would have angered him to no end, but now, he is no longer motivated by such excessive pride. False Flag Operation: Minor example. He feigns stabbing Dante through the head with the Sparda, knowing that his Killing Intent will be enough to jolt the guy awake.

Enemy Without: A heroic, inverted version of the trope. He's made of all the human qualities like compassion, empathy, and sense of humor which Vergil disdained or buried deep down to prevent them from getting in the way during his quest for power. As a result, V is outright ashamed of the enormous Jerkass tendencies of Vergil, he fights to protect innocent civilians, and helps fight his demonic side, which he named Urizen, from spreading further chaos. Gameplay Automation: V can spend his Devil Trigger gauge to make Shadow and Griffon act independently for a given time instead of being manually controlled by the player.

I have worked on VoV from where the first translation team left off, that being chapter 19 and from there on a few chapters had several translators, that’s why I did my versions starting from chapter 20. Cassandra Truth: In Visions of V, much like their first meeting, Dante is initially skeptical about V's claims of there being a powerful demon that is about to resurrect and raise hell after having dealt with so many with the same circumstances. It's only after V tells Dante that the demon is Vergil and will launch an assault on Red Grave City that Dante takes him seriously. Casting Gag: Via V being a playable missing-half of someone else, is it any coincidence they casted Kōki Uchiyama to play as him, a la Roxas? With the Qliphoth reaching full maturity, the surrounding area begins to collapse. As V and Trish run away, Griffon remarks that if Urizen manages to consume the Qliphoth's fruit, they will no longer be able to defeat him. V is unsure though, as he’s come to realize that the weakness Vergil rejected in his pursuit of power is necessary, and as such, any power that he has gained while rejecting that weakness is inconsequential. Because of that, he feels that Urizen is not the version of Vergil that can actually defeat Dante. Before Griffon can respond, he is hit by falling debris, leaving V with no way to escape falling himself as the ground collapses underneath him. As he falls, he suddenly remembers that it wasn't that he wanted to save his mother all those years ago. Instead, he wanted his mother to save him, but his thoughts are interrupted when Trish grabs V's hand and pulls him to safety. Though Griffon again reminds him that Trish is not Eva, and V is only a portion of Vergil, the feeling of being saved has made V realize that, like his child self, he still just wishes to be protected and loved, which results in him briefly thinking about what it would have been like if Eva had been able to reach him as a child that day as the area continues to crumble around him.

Slasher Smile: He starts breaking these out the closer he gets to Urizen because he is eager to restore himself into his original form alongside claiming Urizen's power. By the time he reaches Urizen, he is positively grinning while insisting that he deliver the finishing blow, and sports a Cheshire Cat Grin while standing over him. Potentially downplayed as we don't ever learn the details or explicit motivations behind his plans, and as a notably Creepy Good character, he may simply be smiling so much because he's getting closer to stopping Urizen's immense body count, not to mention preventing his own slow, painful decay.

He represents parts of Vergil's personality that were seldom brought up in the previous Devil May Cry lore. Through V, we discover that Vergil is a Badass Bookworm who loves William Blake's poetry, or that his hatred of Dante springs from a sense that Eva loved Dante more.
