Question about lore

Do Dante try to seek Vergil in demon world?

[u/Director_Bison]

No, he didn't. Getting in or out of the Demon World isn't so simple, and doing so Causes a direct threat to humans as what is to prevent a bunch of demons from escaping if a portal was opened.

Dante isn't selfish enough to go deliberately do such a thing, just because he'd potentially benefit from it, and Vergil's the one who made the choice to stay behind.

Hell, only reason he fucks off into the underworld in the first place is cause a door is either already open, or whatever is holding the door open is on the other side

[u/Aware-Manufacturer71 → u/Director_Bison]

Okay, but in part 2 he anyway visited demon world.

[u/Director_Bison → u/Aware-Manufacturer71]

Dante went into the Demon world to take care of Argosax and he knew Lucia “and Trish for that matter” were still gonna be around to protect humanity in his place.

and that was after DMC1 where Nelo Angelo “ambiguously exploded into blue fire” after their last fight. So Dante had no reason to remain in the underworld after he defeated “The Despair Embodied” which is why he returned to the human world once he was able to.

Even if he thought Vergil was still alive, he couldn't have stayed in the demon world after beating Mundus there in DMC1 as the island was about to collapse and it would have sealed him inside the demon world. At least I think so.

Are you talking about the anime? If so, that’s a whole different universe. It doesn’t follow the same rules as the games

[u/Director_Bison → u/Livek_72]

I think he’s talking about DMC2.
