Vergil, on the other hand, gets only two other Devil Arms aside from Yamato: Beowulf, and Force Edge. He eventually acquires new Devil Arms by defeating the demons guarding the Temen-ni-gru: Cerberus, Agni & Rudra, and Nevan. Story Devil May Cry 3 Īt the start, Dante wields only Rebellion, the keepsake from his father. Agnus used several other Devil Arms to power his imitations of that Hell Gate. Sparda also used his beloved sword to strengthen Temen-Ni-Gru's seal. Yamato was used by the Dark Knight Sparda to seal the true Hell Gate and acted its key and power source. However, a Devil Arm can be broken into small enough pieces that it is impossible to use, such as when Dante broke Cerberus and a Yamato shard into granular sized particles.Īlthough Devil Arms are primarily used as weapons, they are also shown to be used for other purposes. If broken, the Devil Arm's fragments will retain their power: Yamato's shards retained the ability to cut rifts between the human and demon world, while the hilt of Rebellion still possessed the power to unite human with demon. Yamato's blade is shattered in Vergil's fight with Mundus, while a punch from Urizen destroys Rebellion's blade during the events of Devil May Cry 5.
It is also shown that a demon or half-demon can manifest their own power as a Devil Arm while they are still alive, as Sparda did with his three swords and Dante creating Devil Sword Dante.ĭevil Arms are incredibly hard to break. In a similar manner to the dropped items in Devil May Cry 4, some of the powerful demons faced by the other two characters do leave magical shards with demonic power following their defeat, which Nico uses to create new Devil Breakers for Nero. The game also features a Devil Arm created by a human, Dr. In Devil May Cry 5 only Dante acquires new Devil Arms from powerful demons, while those encountered by the other two characters do not transform into additional weapons.
None of the descriptions for Devil Arms in this game mention them previously being demons, and Devil May Cry 5 states that Gilgamesh instead gains its capabilities from the demonic metal it is made from. The Devil Arms acquired by Dante are instead a collection assembled by the Order of the Sword prior to the events of the game itself. In Devil May Cry 4, none of the powerful demons encountered by the two protagonists turn into Devil Arms, though when they are faced by Nero most drop magical items that grant additional capabilities to his Devil Bringer when it absorbs them. Only certain demons are depicted as able to form into Devil Arms: Gigapede, Geryon, Leviathan and Doppelganger instead grant Dante either nothing at all or a new Style. Even within the game there are exceptions to this: Agni & Rudra are already swords before Dante acquires them, while Beowulf expresses no desire to assist either Dante or Vergil when he is defeated. The resulting Devil Arm's capabilities reflect the powers and abilities of the demon it was created from. In Devil May Cry 3, Dante encounters creatures in their demon form, and has to defeat them in combat for them to agree to assist him in recognition of his power.
The powerful demons that Dante encounters do not form other Devil Arms when they are defeated.
In Devil May Cry, Devil Arms are found already formed into weapons, and the process of subduing them requires Dante to survive the weapon's attempt to kill him. The "rules" which Devil Arms operate under differ from game to game. He made Artemis, the armor for Nelo Angelo, and the prototype Angelos. It's also stated in Devil May Cry 5: Before the Nightmare that the creator of the first Devil Arm was named Machiavelli. Balrog then explained that by traveling with Dante, he will get stronger and after getting powerful enough, he'll challenge Dante in a duel yet again. In the same chapter, Balrog has recognized Dante's strength and is turned into a Devil Arm. A demon will turn into a weapon of overwhelming power if it has been defeated and becomes submissive, or a demon will change into a weapon if there is a strong emotional bond present. According to Matier there are two ways for Devil Arms to be created. The process in which a Devil Arm is created was mentioned by Lucia in Devil May Cry 5: Before the Nightmare.
