Devil May Cry 5

Devil May Cry 5 continues the adventures of demon slayers Dante and Nero, who are joined by a mysterious stranger named V. They're here to stop a demon king, but literally any excuse is good enough for more of DMC's classic hack-and-slash action.

Sub-Pages#

Unused Taunt#

Watch on YouTubeNero has an unused taunt in the game data which isn't used anywhere in the final game. It was intended that he would remove the currently equipped breaker from his arm before putting it back on; however, as the taunt is unfinished, that functionality isn't present.

Early Playable Vergil#

Watch on YouTubeBefore the release of Special Edition, a primitive version of Vergil could be accessed in-game via trainer, by changing the player character value to 4 instead of the vanilla 1-3. While he has most of his base Yamato moveset, all the animations are of his boss counterpart and he has no other weapons or abilities. His lock-on, jumping, Sin Devil Trigger animations and trick actions are unfinished.

Unused Moves#

Kiss of Death#

Watch on YouTube

V has an unused move by the name of 'Kiss of Death', which drains all DT when used. The attack depicts V rising up into the air and saying "I'm taking my time", conducting Familiars with his cane to destroy enemies in a large radius around him. It also has a description associated with it.

Expend all of your power to destroy all enemies in the area. Consumes all of your DT Gauge. Cannot be activated if any of your demon companions are in stalemate.

The animation and voiceline would later be used for Vergil's move "World of V" in the Special Edition of the game.

Unused Clear Bonus Art#

To do:
There are clear bonus arts relating to the Vergil DLC

Two clear bonus arts are present in the game data that aren't used anywhere in the final game. Judging by what they depict, its very likely that they would've been for the Prologue mission.

Unused Devil Breaker and Character Files#

The Mega Buster, Pasta Breaker, and Gerbera have weapon files that cannot be viewed in the final game.

Mega Buster#

Japanese

English

子供の頃、右腕が様々な武器に変化 するヒーローの番組があってな。私はそいつが大好きだった。今、お前の右腕作りに夢中になって いるのもその影響かもしれないな。

この作品は、そのヒーローの右腕を 私なりに再現した物だ。我ながらいい出来だと思ってるが、使いこなすのは難しいかもな。
When I was a kid, there was this superhero who'd fight evil by changing his arm into all kinds of weapons. Man, I loved that little fella! Heck, I might not even be here helping ya today if not for that scrappy little guy.

Anyway, this arm is a tribute to the arm of that noble hero. A spitting image, if I do say so myself. Think you got what it takes to rock it, man?

Gerbera GP01#

Japanese

English

これは素晴らしい逸品だぞ。カワモリという伝説の職人に依頼し ガーベラを強化して 貰 (もら) った。

彼は色にも強いこだわりを持つ。カラーリングも彼のアイデアだ。

誰もが拝める作品じゃないぞ。心して使うようにな。
This bad boy's something else. I upgraded the Gerbera at the request of another legendary artisan, Kawamori.

This guy has a flair for flash, let me tell ya. The color scheme was all his idea.

Something like this doesn't come along every day. You best treat it with respect.

Pasta Breaker#

Japanese

English

ちょっとした遊び心でな。つい作っちまったんだよ。

前に、お前がパスタを食い 辛 (づら) そうに していたのを見てな……うん。

食べやすいだろ、パスタは。悪魔にも、使えない事はないぞ。突き刺すくらいしかできないがな。
Say, remember that time I saw you fumbling all over yourself trying to chow down on some pasta? Man, I couldn't believe my eyes. Like, who has trouble with a freaking bowl of noodles!?

...Anyway, you best do a better job with the newest dish I've cooked up. Take a "stab" at it, if ya get my drift.

There is also unused text implying that the unlockable Super Costumes for Nero, Dante, and V were going to have viewable models in the gallery.

Super Nero#

Some people talk about conquering their inner demons. Nero awakens his and grows wings!?
What kind of power has he tapped into here? What if there's no limiter on this stuff? The armies of the underworld had better watch their asses!
Still, with great power comes great screw-ups. Let's hope Nero can keep his head and not get drunk on his new power.

Super Dante#

No limits, no barriers, no contest! Dante with access to unlimited power is enough to make Hell itself shudder.
With this Dante on the scene, you can bet your buns some devils may cry.

Super V#

What happens when V finds that his usually unstable power is suddenly unlimited?
You ask me, it'll make it easier for him to stay alive out there.
Then again, he's still so physically weak he can hardly stand. If he gets carried away, he could be settin' himself up for a smackdown.
