Rarely does a series not only present a hero with such a knack for comedy but also retain this feature. Devil May Cry has been a hit due to the main character never taking himself seriously, allowing for him to qualify as an awesome hero who beats his enemies with casual nonchalance.

Understandably, his attitude and style have led to many memes being created for his benefit. These tend to point out the stuff Dante does, or are criticisms over how Devil May Cry has handled him. Whatever the subject might be, these 10 hilarious Dante memes will not disappoint.

10 That's A Radical Makeover

Dante and Nero's weird ageing

Even redesigns that aren’t too bad face a lot of scrutiny from fans and Devil May Cry 5’s significant change to the appearance of the main characters didn’t go unnoticed. While people accepted Nero quickly, Dante was a difficult pill to swallow.

The funny thing about this meme is how every fan definitely had this same thought the first time they laid eyes on Dante. Looking nothing like he did in Devil May Cry 4, the new Dante left more than a few feelings a little uncomfortable.

9 No Luck With The Ladies

In a profession where one has to kill demons, meeting ladies is something that happens only once in a blue moon. Unfortunately for Dante, he had no luck even when he finally got to meet a girl. After meeting Lady, she obliged him with shooting him straight in the face.

Being the cocky personality he is, Dante didn’t consider the fact that he was shot point-blank to be an issue, and instead fretted over how he struck out with a girl right after meeting her.

8 Dante Hazing Nero

Some fans of the Devil May Cry anime are unaware that it’s a show based on a video game. It’s a good thing Nero never turned up there, as his constant whining would have made Dante’s character more of a babysitter.

This meme summarizes the relationship he has with his nephew, with Dante tripping Nero’s bicycle and having no sympathy for the boy upon his protests. Considering just how much Nero does complain, fans actually prefer how Dante puts him down all the time.

7 Thanks For Coming Back

Dante returns to the series

Capcom attempted to go the edgy way by making a reboot out of the series where Dante was portrayed as much younger but also resembling a hero out of a teenage vampire book series. This led to DmC flopping with the fans, prompting Capcom to backtrack.

According to this meme, Capcom might have actually approached the character, who agreed to come back as a favor to the company. Seeing as Devil May Cry 5 did end up being a blockbuster in critical and commercial terms, Dante was certainly right.

6 Demon Hunter To Wizard

Gandalf the wizard usually ranks at the top in terms of strength in his fellowship. Despite his great powers, odds are he isn’t actually the older version of a legendary demon hunter.

The joke is that Dante was made so old in such radical fashion for Devil May Cry 5 that fans felt this was too drastic a revision to stomach. To this end, it seems some people thought that the final version of Dante had to be Gandalf.

5 Get A Clue, Lady

Since Lady’s name doesn’t usually pop up for strong female protagonists, she qualifies among the more underrated anime female heroes. One of the reasons why she’s seen as such a badass is because she was willing to go toe-to-toe with powerful demons.

She doesn’t get too many points for intelligence, though, as Lady shot Dante in the face and was then surprised when he was still alive. It took her a few seconds to realize he was a demon, even though she just saw the guy brush off a bullet to the head.

4 Dante's Star-Lord Moment

If one were to base Guardians of the Galaxy heroes according to zodiac signs, then Star-Lord and Dante would easily be a match. Both of them are manchildren who love to joke, especially during times of distress. In Devil May Cry 5, Dante did go straight-up into Star-Lord mode.

During one of the cutscenes, Dante put on a hat and did an extended dance number. Even though joking around is his most obvious trait, this ridiculous display was far too over-the-top to go unmentioned.

3 Here's Dante!

Devil May Cry is one of those great anime that fans might not be aware is derived from video games. Its influence is such that it can be applied to pretty much any form of media. In this case, it’s been used during the final moments of The Shining.

Those who know Dante are very well aware of his love for pizza, a liking that is so great that he’s rarely seen without eating a slice when not fighting demons. This meme suggests he’s so crazy for pizza that Dante’s taken to hunting it down.

2 How They Massacred Our Boy

Dante compared between games

Rocket Raccoon has one of the strangest power origins in comics, but this is something you wouldn’t expect Dante to be interested in. However, Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite delivered a version of Dante that was very different.

The problem with this Dante is that he looked too clean-cut and his character acted a bit too compassionately. Due to this, the creator of this meme’s taking their frustrations out by indicating toward Dante’s odd mannerisms. What’s more, they’ve even given their own rendition of Marvel and Capcom’s names.

1 Dante's Got Skills

In fantasy match-ups, people wonder who between God of War’s Kratos and Thor would win, but what of Dante? After all, you just can’t write off these Bruce Lee moves like that. Although a demon hunter, Dante’s not without his fighting skills.

Of course, he’s just so innately strong that the need to fight this way never arises, leading to Dante only joking about using his martial art moves. He had his best chance during Devil May Cry 4, in a cutscene where Dante most certainly came across as a wannabe Bruce Lee.
