THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- What did everyone think of it? I haven't played Devil May Cry so the only thing I know is that he's a Devil Hunter and I don't know any of his history. Was he actually the "Tony" people thought he was? |

Never played the game either, just watching it for some story-less action. |

I have dmc3 but i haven't played yet. It seems like I will take some time with dmc3 ^^ But it is really mysterious. Tony=Dante?! maybe it is Tony Hawk=Dante. Maybe youngster Dante was pro skater! |

Through most of the episode I was thinking "is he Tony or not? Which is it?" but yeah, it's pretty obvious he was that Tony by the end. Pretty good episode. |

Since many seem to wonder... I have played all games that came out thus far... a guy named "Tony" or Dante using this alias is never mentioned even once... But it´s not impossible since the games don´t cover his childhood or anything... So... be at ease if you didn´t play... it doesn´t matter for this episode anyway... ( go play it non the less ) Anyway... good episode... I love how they put Dantes charakter together more and more, just a little bit at a time... I expected some hack & slay anime like hellsing... but for something based on dmc it has quiete short ( but intense ) action scenes... |

I advise reading the sadly horrible Devil May Cry novels. The stories don't make much sense, but basically, Tony IS Dante. Tony is Dante while he was a bit younger and had lost all his memories. It doesn't really go into detail about the hows and whys though. I've only read the first volume, I could barely finish it. Here's what wikipedia has to say: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil_May_Cry_%28novels%29 Modified by skedaddle, 06-17-08, 3:01 PM father lucifer you never looked so sane you always did prefer the drizzle to the rain tell me that you're still in love with that milkmaid how's the lizzies how's your jesus christ been hanging -Tori Amos "Father Lucifer" |
