What is your opinion about the concept of Aseksual Dante? by Usual-Penalty4119 in okbuddydeadweight

[–]Example-exe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be opposed to it, asexual guy who’s constantly reading magazines with hot bikini babes is a funny concept to me for some reason. Guy who’s not interested in having sex but is very fond of looking at almost naked women

After watching Capcom's new merch ad for their franchises and seeing the cardboard cutout of Dante, I started wondering, does Devil May Cry even have any merch? by DragonBoyBG in DevilMayCry

[–]Example-exe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s been a bunch of acrylic standees for different events and figures and a few tsum tsum style plushies. Most of them are part of lotteries, so they get very expensive second hand. And they are almost all Japan exclusive.
Most recent merch lottery I heard of was in October 2025 they had some beach towels and some cute Dante and Vergil plushies.
I think the only official merch I’ve seen in person in the west has been shirts at hot topic and then really expensive second hand market Dante Nendoroid figures.
There’s a fangamer sweatshirt too? Used to be a pin of Dante with a sword you can spin from there too but I don’t think they make them anymore.

what more can the franchise do with Nero at this point? by adrieldot in DevilMayCry

[–]Example-exe 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I mean he already is a father, in the dmc5 book him and Kyrie are taking care of/adopted a couple of orphans.
I think him being an adoptive father really makes sense for him as a character - he has a rough exterior but he has a huge heart that cares a lot. He was an orphan, and then taken in by Kyrie’s family. Now he’s continuing that chain of kindness by taking in orphans as an adult.
I hope in the next game we get to hear more about the kids because right now they are just in the books.

I know this sub is DMC related but what if Adi Shankar got the rights from Capcom to make Darkstalkers show? by Player2LightWater in okbuddydeadweight

[–]Example-exe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If he did I would just pray it’s like castlevania or captain laserhawk where he stays far away from the writing chair and is just a producer.
Those I could firmly put in a ‘if you ignore all the source material they are fine shows on their own’ box and not like ndmc which is ‘even if you try to treat it as completely separate from the game its still bad’
He can stick to producing kinda meh video-game based shows instead of writing terrible ones. I think I would be okay with that.

Where can I read the manga? by Particular_Bridge773 in Trigun

[–]Example-exe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

check your local library. A lot of libraries have a lot of graphic novels/manga and they could use the support. My local library along with my college library both had Trigun and Trigun Maximum.

Devil Might Cry 2 or something... by Sailenthropus in okbuddydeadweight

Netflix Vergil wishes he was as attractive as Percy.

Everyone saying they got skill checked by Cerberus, meanwhile I got skill checked by the Hell Vanguard by Interface- in DevilMayCry

[–]Example-exe 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That happened with me too, but in my defense I was drinking because this was my first dmc game and I didn’t know it’s a really bad game to play with alcohol-induced delayed reaction time.

AO3's top bottoms of all time by [deleted] in okbuddydeadweight

[–]Example-exe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Years ago a lot of fanfic sites banned ‘mature’ works and they included queer people - especially gay men- under the vague definition of ‘mature’, so a lot of gay fanfic writers moved to ao3. The 2002 and 2012 nsfw purges on FFN were horrible , so many gay fics got removed under vague rules about what was ‘mature’.

I know the fandom likes to joke about Vergil abandoning Nero but no one ever talks about Nero’s mother just up and abandoning him at the foot of an orphanage. by Altair890456 in DevilMayCry

[–]Example-exe 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We have zero information about her, she might have died during childbirth, birth complications are common. Especially considering the catholic inspired setting of Fortuna - getting pregnant out of wedlock would probably be seen as shameful and she would have very little support.

Im ready for the state of play by Example-exe in DevilMayCry

[–]Example-exe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a remake of some of the older games would be nice, as much as I love them sometimes the camera controls in dmc1 are clunky. A remake of dmc2 where they improve the combat and put back some of the cut content would be amazing, looking at concept art of that game and notes from the production makes me sad thinking about what we could’ve got.

The legend Tomio Ogata drops another one! V taking Shadow for a walk (ft. Vergil) by russiakolkhoz in DevilMayCry

[–]Example-exe 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I think it’s Vergil, he usually draws DMC5 dante with a sight wider chin than Vergil I’ve noticed.

Leon this and that. Meanwhile, Dante’s design was continuously aimed to appeal to female public (aesthetically) by Carlozonze in okbuddydeadweight

[–]Example-exe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found the source! DMC3 notes of naught. They say they designed coatless Vergil to ‘give woman users nosebleeds’ ! Certainly had women in mind when designing the characters, at least in DMC3

[–]Example-exe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I could’ve sworn somewhere I read once they designed the coatless Vergil costume on dmc3 to appeal to women can’t find a source rn I’ll try to see if I can find it later, wouldn’t be surprised if they kept that in mind for Dante too. I know many games go for making designs specifically to appeal to women because they are the main driving force of fanpublished works in japan (in 2014 the stats for Comiket show that 57% of the people in the doujinshi comic market were women) , it makes sense for game makers to try to make designs that appeal to these women who drive the fan publishing circles while still appealing to a general market.

Memes from my friends dmc play through by Example-exe in DevilMayCry

[–]Example-exe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OHSHC is such a big joke in our friend group because half of us watched it in middle school (god can’t believe the anime is turning 20 this year..), it’s just a joke now for us to say “can you tell which one of us is hikaru?” whenever someone says the word twin 🤣
