==Story Summary==
The plot of Devil May Cry follows the Demon Hunter Dante, the son of a legendary demon who sealed off the demon world named Sparda and a human named Eva.
===Games of the original series (in chronological order of its events)===
*Devil May Cry Volume 1: Set a few years before DMC3, the novel shows Dante when he was still using his alias "Tony Redgrave", when he fights an Angelo named Gilver. This novel was removed from the canon, but with Before The Nightmare, it came back with some small details being different to fit in the timeline.
*Devil May Cry 3 Manga: A year before DMC3, it shows Dante's and Vergil's paths before their first encounter in years, how Vergil met Arkham and how they revived the Temen-ni-gru. On Dante's side, it shows him on a job where he needs to find a missing girl named Alice, who was kidnapped by a demon.
*Devil May Cry 3 Dante's Awakening: The prequel to the series. It starts with a 19-year-old Dante starting his small mercenary business when a man named Arkham comes and tells him of an invitation from his brother, Vergil. Dante accepts (In a way) and begins his quest to stop his brother from breaking the seal their father placed and unleashing Hell on the Human realm through the demonic tower Temen-ni-gru. Along the way, he meets Lady, a young woman with connections to Arkham.
*Devil May Cry: The first game of the series, takes place sometime after Devil May Cry 3. Dante, now older, has established his business but gets a rude houseguest. A demon named Trish attacks Dante and informs him that the Dark Lord Mundus has awakened from being previously sealed by Sparda and now seeks to reunite the Human Realm and the Demonic Realm as one just like it once was (See Code 1: Dante). Dante spares her due to her resemblance to his deceased mother and travels with her to Mallet Island, where he battles Mundus's generals on a quest for revenge against the Dark Lord.
*Devil May Cry: The Animated Series: During the events that took place after Devil May Cry and before Devil May Cry 2, Dante is charged with guarding a girl named Patty Lowell. The anime is mostly just Dante's miscellaneous adventures but behind the scenes, the Demonic Lord Abigail attempts to once again take over the Human World.
*Devil May Cry Drama CDs: Shortly after the anime where it shows three different stories, one is when Dante is hired by Enzo to kill a demon, the second is when Dante and Trish must kill a demon disguised as Peter Pan, and the last one is when the Devil May Cry crew is investigated by two police officers, Steve and McClain. Dante and the others are cleared of suspicion after being interviewed.
*Devil May Cry Volume 2: The novel shows Dante and Beryl in a fight against Chen, who's using the Beastheads, a powerful demon created by Mundus, to reach his goals. In the end, the novel directly sets everything for the beginning of Devil May Cry 2.
*Devil May Cry 2: Dante is given a job by the Protectors from Vie de Marlii to kill the president of a major corporation who is trying to resurrect Argosax the Chaos and gain its power.
*Devil May Cry 4: The 4th game stars Nero, a young boy who is part of an Order known as the Order of the Sword. He is sent to hunt Dante down for the Order after the latter killed their leader, but slowly begins to uncover the fact that the Order may have some secrets he wasn't aware of and must help Dante stop them.
*Devil May Cry Before the Nightmare: Set around 1 year before DMC, the novel shows Nero, Dante, V, Lucia and many other characters in a prequel that explains some of the plot behind DMC5 events and some plotholes in the series, like Volume 1 canonicity and how Dante got out of the Demon World in DMC2
*Visions of V: A manga also set as a prequel to DMC5, similar to Before the Nightmare, it explains some of the plot but only in V's point of view, on how he separated from his devil part and how he obtained his three familiars.
*Devil May Cry 5: After the events of Devil May Cry 4, the game follows Nero once more, now with his own branch of Devil May Cry, Dante and his new client, the mysterious V. They must fight off a demon invasion in Red Grave City after a demonic tree takes root and starts to pose a threat to the world.
==Power of the Verse==
Devil May Cry is a very powerful game verse, and one of the strongest when it comes to the Hack n' Slash genre. Low Tiers, which include superhumans like Lady and Volume 1 Dante, and weak demons, already possess feats ranging from Wall level to Building level+. Most of the DMC3 Cast is City Block level to City level, scaling from Cerberus, who easily froze Temen-ni-gru's entrance, while Mid Tiers are comfortably in City level thanks to Echidna's storm feat and further going to at least Star level via Savior's feats and to Multi-Solar System level via Beastheads. The top tiers peak at Low Multiverse level, with several characters capable of affecting the entirety of the Demon world.
As for speed, even Low Tiers possess Supersonic speed via being casual bullet timers, the rest of the cast have Massively Hypersonic+ via scaling above Blitz, who's basically living natural lightning, with the upper tiers easily capable of blitzing them, with a few characters being able to block lasers at Relativistic+ to FTL speeds. The Top Tiers are Immeasurable due to Dante being able to keep up with Argosax, who transcends time and distance with his attacks, with the god-tiers being able to effortlessly surpass these levels of speed.
The series also features a reboot in which the characters have City level power thanks to Vergil's storm feats, as well as Sub-Relativistic speed by moving faster than lightning.
Both verses have a good amount of powerful Hax, ranging from stopping time, to soul draining, mind control, slashing through spatial fabric, and straight-up warping reality.
