Devil May Cry 5 References and Easter Eggs
Devil May Cry 5 features plenty of callbacks to not only the previous games but even external material like the anime and light novels. Here are the most noteworthy references we’ve found in DMC5.
Goddamn, Nico does look like agnus
There is one reference to Devil May Cry 1 on the second mission. Before you enter the hotel, there is a horse statue and if you jump and stand on its head, you will get orbs, a clear reference ( or easter egg) to when you jump on the horse statue's head and get lots of orbs in the first game.
The city of Red Grave isn't a nod to Dante's Alias. His alias is a nod to the city, dumbo. It's always been Red Grave City
I remember watching the anime just to have knowledge of it for dmc 5
The start of devil trigger song had the first lyrics "Ill Endure The Exile" this was nero's line in dmc4 when he got the yamato
Second Urizen boss fight: “you fear approach me” and the walk I few are a jojo reference same with one of Vs taunts
You can also do the rose taunt in midair and do some really epic comboz from that hitstun. Particularly with light enemies though. Can even kill death scissors with it if you're lucky.
Show me the best dmc3 weapon. "Rebellion"
I said the best dmc3 weapon.
"Beowulf"
Did i stutter?
"Beowulf plus Quicksilver"
Z A W A R U D O

Not in a million years.
Some angelo's came along, anybody noticed them?
Okay…but Shadows were never bosses in DMC1, they were just extremely hard regular enemies like the Death Scissors, Death Scythes, and Kyklops'.
I knew that neco's father that crazy scientist.from dnc4.
Really glad for the references and wonder if patty will be included in more dmc games
I wish Lucia had returned. I liked her.
Their is an easter egg when dante wakes up and is near the sword sparta. He says "It's my turn to play with sparda" seems like the developers also know their meme humor
You forgot to mention the first time a character in the dmc series rode a rocket fired from a rocket launcher was actually trish in the anime, as she rode one of lady's rockets to reach the top of a certain tower
WAIT
the taunts change depending on the current style rank?
The regular enemy intros, the S rank callouts, Dante's "not in a million years" line during the Vergil battle are from the DMC reboot. Speaking of the Vergil battle, the color scheme of the battleground, and some of Vergil's behaviours in the fight (like the doppelganger and blocking mid-combo during when he's at low health) are taken from that game as well.
Aren't fausts the ice demon we fight in Dmc 1&4, and the hatted demons are called Mephisto's?
What's also cool about Dante throwing the rose, is the fact that you can juggle with it. This is sick because Dudley's taunt (SF 3rd Strike) is the same exact thing, he tosses a rose which allows him to extend combos.
the megaman is so cool. I love useing it
Dmc5 has a shit tone of fan service
Dude I'm so interested in DmC's franchise but I have no system to play any of it's games ?
But didn't Dante make Ebony and Ivory? Was she killed before she finished making them.
You've forgotten about Artemis & Gilgamesh. Two devil arms from the previous games.
Moreover, most of the people don't know but Devil Sword Dante is actually reused design from one of Capcom's Monster Hunter game.
Plus after Nero rescues Lady from Artemis, V says "I'm glad you look so well." Which lady replies as "you too, I guess…" thinking the time in the prologue where they first met with Trish & Dante. But the thing is V was recalling the time of DMC3 in Temen Ni Gru when he said he's glad to see her again.
Tony Redgrave was actually main protagonist from Resident Evil 4 until Capcom change it. He is cool as Dante or Leon. Introduce as police officer and son of Oswell E. Spencer
