DMC3 Dante's Awakening The game begins with Dante sitting in his office, which has not yet opened, and a mysterious visitor comes to him. He conveys to Dante an invitation to Temen-ni-gru on behalf of Brother Virgil. As soon as he leaves, Dante is attacked by demons. Dante easily kills them all and heads to the tower in search of "an interesting pastime." During the protagonist's adventures, Vergil tells Arkham about his plan, which is that he wants to open a portal to the world of demons and gain the power of his father through the Sword of Sparda, which is located there. Inside the tower, Dante constantly encounters various demons that were sealed away by his father, and also meets the demon hunter Lady, who is chasing after her father Arkham and the demon Jester for her own personal reasons. Eventually, Dante, Lady and Vergil discover that Arkham is the jester who used them all to open a portal and gain Sparda's power to become the ruler of the demons. After defeating Arkham, Dante and Vergil arrange a duel with each other to determine the owner of the Sword of Sparda. As a result, Dante wins, but Virgil wants to remain in the world of demons. Throughout the game, Dante is shown to grow spiritually as he goes through all his trials. Inspired by the Lady's courage, he also becomes a demon hunter. They become partners and he decides to name his office "Devil May Cry", a reference to what the Lady said to comfort him over Virgil's death: “And even the strongest devil can cry if he loses someone close to him.” — Lady

When Dante meets Trish again, she betrays him. Dante realizes that she also serves Mundus. She interferes with Dante in the fight with the Nightmare, but despite this, he manages to win. As a result of the battle, the room begins to collapse and Trish could have been crushed by the stones, but Dante saves her. He claims that this was only done because of her resemblance to her mother. Enraged by her betrayal, he warns her to stay away from him. But when Mundus is about to kill Trish, Dante saves her again, ending up getting injured. Mundus tries to kill him, but Trish takes the attack on herself. Dante's emotions during this event gave him power, allowing him to take on his father's form. After this, Dante and Mundus begin to fight and Dante wins. Dante leaves the Perfect Amulet and the Sword of Sparda next to Trish's body before leaving the island. However, as Dante reaches the hangar in the castle, Mundus makes himself known again. Despite everything that happened, Trish also returns and gives Dante strength. Dante defeats Mundus, sealing him away again. When Trish tries to apologize to Dante, she begins to cry. He tells her that this means she has become human because "the devil never cry." Dante and Trish decide to leave on a plane when the island begins to collapse. After the credits roll, a cutscene is shown revealing that Dante and Trish have started working together as partners and renamed the office "Devil Never Cry".

DMC2 Dante helps the girl Lucia in the fight against Arius, a businessman who uses demonic power and seeks to conquer the world. At the end of the game, Dante enters the world of demons to stop, oddly enough, a demon, but falls into a trap. Since the path to the human world is inaccessible, Dante decides to travel even further on his motorcycle, into the depths of Hell. If you watch the credits to the end, you can see a video in which Lucia is in the office waiting for Dante. When the sound of a motorcycle is heard outside, Lucia runs out of the office to see if it is Dante. Who it was is still unknown.

DMC4 It all starts with the Lady coming to Dante and offering him a task. She tells him about the Order of the Sword, a small community in the castle of the city of Fortuna who, much to Dante's surprise, worship Sparda as a god. “They worship a demon as a god?” — Dante She explained that there is a legend that Sparda served the city as a feudal lord for a very long time. That's why they worship him. She wants to find out why people from the Order began to catch and destroy demons, thereby leaving her without money. Trish, who overheard all this, left with the Sword of Sparda, leaving a "look there" message in lipstick on the mirror. Dante had no choice but to go to Fortuna.

It is later revealed that the Order's increased activity was due to the Savior - a giant, artificially created demon who is controlled by the blood and Sword of Sparda. The Order began to create smaller copies of the gates of Hell, which work thanks to the tools of demons. They were necessary in order to “prove” to people the power of the Savior and to lure Dante to Fortuna. Most likely, Dante became aware of their plans thanks to Trish, who disguised herself as Gloria and gave the Sword of Sparda to the Order. After watching Nero fight the scarecrows, Dante heads to the opera house to penetrate through the glass roof and kill Sanctus, as well as the rest of the knights of the Order. But he was stopped by Nero, who decided to hold Dante until Kyrie hid and Credo brought help. After a short fight with Nero, Dante reveals to him that the slain knights were actually demons and leaves with a cryptic message for Nero, saying that "you too are the same...like me...and they [the slain knights].. .But I think there is something special about you." On Credo's orders, Nero follows Dante and catches up with him at the entrance to the forest. Despite this, Dante avoids the fight by jumping off a cliff. Finally, Nero meets Dante at the Order's headquarters, but Nero no longer seeks to fight him, since he was betrayed by the Order and has no time for him now. Dante wants to return his brother's sword, which Nero now possesses.

After a fierce fight, Nero realizes that Dante has been playing with him from the very beginning. Dante explains to him that Yamato “must remain in the family” and in addition is the key to the world of demons, but despite the danger of the situation, he allows Nero to continue using it, since he needs it to save Kirie. Despite Nero's self-confidence and the fact that he has the blade of the son of Sparda, nothing works out for him and he ends up trapped by Sanctus. At the request of the dying Credo, Dante begins to follow the Savior to save Nero and Kyrie. Trish begins the evacuation of the city. Along the way, Dante kills Echidna, Dagon and Berial; destroys the fake Hell Gate and finds three weapons that powered the gate. Returning to where it all began, the opera house, he meets Agnus. The fight ends in Dante's favor. He takes Yamato, closes the gates of Hell and destroys it. This attracts the attention of Sanctus and he tries to kill Dante with the help of the Savior. However, Dante is able to weaken the Savior and awaken Nero so that he can finish off Sanctus from the inside. Dante continues to distract the Savior while Nero finds Sanctus and kills him. Nero successfully leaves the Savior with the Sword of Sparda and Kyrie in his arms.

However, before Dante could get an apology from Nero, the Savior awakens by merging with Sanctus, but he is weak enough that he is not difficult to deal with. Nero destroys the False Savior with his hand. When the battle is finally over, Nero thanks Dante for his help and when he tries to return the Yamato to him, he refuses to take it and wants Nero to keep it for himself. After Dante returns, Lady enters the office thanking him for his help with her order. She hands over the case, which turns out to contain little money. Despite Trish's protests about this, Lady claims that it is not her fault, but Dante's, since she did not break so much wood. Dante comments on this with the phrase: “We take what they give, right?” At this time, the phone rings and Trish tells him that the client gave the password and it’s nearby. The lady asks to go with them, despite Dante warning her that she will not receive the money. This is where the game ends.

Devil May Cry 5: Before the Nightmare Ten years after defeating Argosax, Dante was once again summoned to Vie de Marli by Matier to help defeat a new demon; Argosax's right-hand man Balrog. Fearing that Lucia would be unable to defeat Balrog on her own, Matier called for Dante to help her defeat Balrog. Dante and Lucia found the demon, which possessed a shard of the Yamato. Dante shattered the shard with Cerberus, though it shattered his own weapon in the process. Upon realizing who Dante is, Balrog immediately surrenders, knowing he cannot defeat the legendary devil hunter. He transforms into a devil arm, hoping to one day become strong enough for a rematch.

Devil May Cry 5: Visions of V Briefly, before the events of Devil May Cry 5, Dante is unable to pay for utilities, leading to his shop losing power and water. Dante is then contacted by V, who tells him that a powerful demon is about to emerge, and he needs his help. Dante's initial dismissal soon shifts to anger when V reveals that the demon is in fact Vergil. He is forced to believe V when he reveals that Red Grave City, his old home, will be demonized if he does not help him stop Vergil.

DMC5 Morrison brings him a job request that pays Dante cash upfront which restores the electricity and water in the shop as soon as he arrived, previously cut off due to nonpayment. In addition, Dante is informed that Patty wanted him to join her 18th Birthday Party, but he decides to take the job to avoid going. Morrison introduces Dante to his latest client, the mysterious V. To Dante's dismay, Morrison went off to grab Lady and Trish, claiming that this was a "big job". Alone with V, Dante is asked by V to investigate and stop the Demon infestation in Red Grave City, which was organized by the Qliphoth tree planted by Urizen, who V reveals to be on a different level than any opponent Dante has ever faced, even the likes of Mundus and Argosax pale compared to Urizen. V also reveals to Dante that Urizen is in fact Vergil. Dante, along with Lady, Trish, and V, leaves for the city, having left Morrison to guard his shop. Dante, Trish, and Lady travel through the Qliphoth to confront Urizen while V unexpectedly departs; secretly intending to bring Nero for extra assistance. Dante fights Urizen after he defeats Lady and Trish but he is brushed aside by Urizen. Nero arrives and attacks Urizen but he is badly beaten. Dante recovers just in time to change Urizen's focus from Nero to himself, thus beginning "Round 2". In Devil Trigger, he buys Nero and V enough time to escape, but even in Devil Trigger, Dante is effortlessly overpowered by Urizen and his sword, Rebellion is shattered. Urizen taunts Dante as he wraps the roots around Dante, but Trish, using her remaining strength, throws the Sparda to Dante who grabs it and changes into his Devil Trigger form again. Charging at Urizen once more, Urizen swats him away, sending him and the Sparda flying out of the Qliphoth

Dante remains in a month-long coma, with his hair grown long and covered in Qliphoth blood until he is ultimately woken up by V, who nearly stabs him with the Sparda. Upon awakening, he is briefed on everything that has happened up until this point by V and thus hurries back to the Qliphoth to fight Urizen once again and save Nero from getting himself killed. Along the way, he defeats Cavaliere Angelo and rescues Trish from within; also acquiring the Cavaliere. He returns back to his old home where he remembers that he accessed his Devil Trigger when Vergil once stabbed Rebellion into his chest years ago and briefly wondered why his father gave him the Rebellion. He soon quickly comes to the realization that while the Yamato was used to separate, the Rebellion was used to unify. He stabs the broken Rebellion into his chest where the Sparda absorbs the Rebellion, allowing Dante to achieve his Sin Devil Trigger and obtain his new weapon: Devil Sword Dante. With this new power, Dante quickly goes to the Qliphoth where he arrives just in time to save Nero. He easily overwhelms Urizen who is forced to retreat once the Qliphoth fully completes its emergence in the human world. Dante soon reunites with Lady, Trish, V, and Nero where he is informed that Urizen is at the "top" of the Qliphoth which Dante confused for the "bottom". He also meets Nico who gives him a gift: Dr. Faust. Dante attempts to dissuade Nero from continuing the mission, but V convinces Dante to allow it. He splits up from everyone, declaring that this was "his gig", though, in reality, he wanted to take care of business for Nero's sake given the circumstances.

After battling the unleashed gatekeeper known as King Cerberus, who Dante reminisces from encountering the last demon of his kind and acquiring the Devil Arm of the same name, Dante encounters Urizen in an illusory landscape all formed by the demonic fruit made by the Qliphoth. Urizen consumes the fruit and obtains overwhelming power, and despite this, Dante battles his brother. Despite the power the fruit granted him, Urizen is defeated by Dante. Nero and V arrive in the aftermath where Nero has learned from V that Urizen was Dante's brother, Vergil. Dante allows V to take matters into his own hands but realizes too little too late that V intended on reuniting with Urizen; resulting in Vergil's rebirth. Dante charges at Vergil, but the latter did not wish to end their conflict with Dante so wounded and thus requested that he heal his wounds and get stronger before they settled the matter. Vergil escapes, but not before thanking Nero. Dante once again tries to send Nero back home but he refuses to go as Vergil is responsible for using him to regain all his power and blamed Dante for letting him keep Yamato in the first place. In a brief argument and out of frustration, Dante was forced to reveal that Vergil was Nero's father. He explains that he had a hunch when he first saw Nero but upon seeing how the Yamato reacted in Nero's possession, Dante was certain that he was Vergil's son. Dante finally tells his nephew that his father needed to be stopped but he didn't want Nero to be the one to do it given the circumstances. He leaves Nero to both grieve and ponders as he travels to the Qliphoth to confront his brother.

He briefly meets back up with Trish, Lady, and Nico, to discuss the situation, and Nico gives the Kalina Ann II to Dante, much to Lady's dismay. He tells the girls to leave while he takes care of Vergil. He finds opposition in the form of V's familiars, Griffon, Shadow, and Nightmare who are revealed to be the lingering abominable thoughts of when Vergil was Nelo Angelo. Since V had returned to Vergil, the familiars were free to kill Dante without anything or anyone holding them back. Dante wonders why they choose to fight him despite that they must know they don't stand a chance against him. After defeating them, he learns that with their death, Vergil's nightmares will end. With a final farewell to the familiars, Dante presses on.

dmc5

The demon hunter finally arrives at the top of the Qliphoth where he demands the Yamato from Vergil, knowing fully well that Vergil was not going to give it up without a fight. The two brothers fight ruthlessly where Dante reveals to Vergil that Nero was his son, much to his brother's initial confusion. While Dante amusingly expresses interest in hearing the story on how Nero's conception occurred, he preferred to finish things with Vergil which the latter agreed to. Accessing their Sin Devil Trigger forms, they prepare to conclude their battle until Nero unexpectedly arrives and intervenes in their conflict with his true Devil Trigger form. Dante and Vergil are shocked by Nero's sudden transformation, but when Dante tries to remind Nero that this isn't his fight, he is sucker-punched that leaves him winded for a while. Dante shows indifference towards Vergil's suggestion that if he beats Nero means that he also beats Dante by default, so he decides to sit back and watch Nero and Vergil do battle.

dmc5

Once Vergil is bested and the Qliphoth begins to crumble, Dante decides to put aside the conflict in order to take down the Qliphoth once and for all. He and Vergil decide to go into the Demon World, knowing fully well that they will not be able to come back if they go. Dante claims he wishes to go so he can "keep an eye" on Vergil. As Nero pleads with them, Dante tells him that it's because he is here that they can go into the Demon World. Despite Nero's protests, Dante and Vergil still go into the Demon World, leaving Nero behind as the new protector of the human world. Once in the Demon World, the brothers fend off numerous hordes of demons before successfully cutting down the roots of the Qliphoth, ending the crisis. Now stuck in the Demon World, Dante, and Vergil battle each other once again, but their rivalry now seems to be on more friendly terms. However, their sparring is being constantly interrupted by interfering demons. Much to Vergil's annoyance, Dante says his catchphrase "Jackpot!" as they proceed to fend off another demon horde.
