The Devil May Cry series started out with the initial intention of having it join the list of games belonging to the Resident Evil series. With the number of larger-than-life characters, though, the franchise became its own thing and has lasted for about two decades now.
You’re never going to find personalities of the like found in the Devil May Cry games, as all these characters have flashy styles steeped in various undertones. They are prime contenders for Hogwarts school if the letter ever arrives for them. In case you’re wondering which character would place where, then check out this list where they’ve already been sorted into their respective houses.
10 Nero: Gryffindor
Brash, arrogant, but filled with bravery and an inherent need to do right, Nero embodies the Gryffindor trope of being brawny and going all-out in battle. He’s never been one to strategize, nor has he ever had lofty dreams of ruling over anyone.
Nero remains a person who likes to fight for the sake of his entertainment as well as to keep people safe. His extremely emotional outbursts of rage and contempt are just how typical Gryffindors behave.
9 Lady: Ravenclaw
While she did harbor an obsessive need to kill her father due to what he did to her mother, Lady didn’t go blasting in to fight Arkham and Vergil on the fly. Instead, she learned about demonkind and got the proper training and weaponry.
Over time, Lady has grown further into a Ravenclaw, as she’s taken a step back from fighting all the time and letting logic dictate the terms of the battle. It’s also why she clashes with the brash Dante and Trish so much.
8 Trish: Slytherin
Sure, she hasn’t had any delusions of grandeur, but Trish has also been established as being especially deceptive, being able to fool friends and villains alike about her true plans. She’s a shrewd fighter as well, holding back until she learns who she’s going up against.
However, Trish has displayed tendencies to be vain with her abilities, which has led to her butting heads with Dante and Lady in order to establish her dominance. Her skills as a fighter have been strengthened mainly due to her cunning nature.
7 V: Hufflepuff
Representing the human side of Vergil, V was one individual who considered both the life and death aspects of everything before him. Despite having abilities that were visceral in nature, V had a soft demeanor that wasn’t hostile.
He also stuck by Dante and Nero the whole time, not double-crossing them the way Vergil would definitely have. Wanting to find the balance in things is what Hufflepuffs do, as they don’t seek to be the best or want the worst.
6 Sparda: Gryffindor
During his days as the apex demon of the world, Sparda might have qualified as a Slytherin. However, he portrayed great bravery when he turned his back on dark activities to help humankind, going so far as to marry a human woman.
It took courage for him to be the best he could be, despite all the power he had that could have allowed him to rule the world for millennia. Sparda also sealed away enemies and weapons rather than let them fall in the wrong hands because it was the right thing to do.
5 Lucia: Hufflepuff
Lucia always seemed to be way in over her head during the events of Devil May Cry 2, and it was clear she would much rather have settled down over having to fight monsters. She wasn’t a natural talent like Dante, but worked hard to reach his level.
Also unlike Dante, Lucia saw the positives in life, as she was willing to set aside all the terrible things that had happened in her past and hope for the best. She happened to be the only one who was certain Dante would return to the Underworld; the kind of resilience that Hufflepuffs possess.
4 Arkham: Slytherin
This one doesn’t need much explanation, seeing as Arkham ticked all the boxes a dark Slytherin would have. He was ambitious to a great fault, was easily willing to deceive and kill, and strived for ultimate power over having any remorse.
Arkham was pretty much like Voldemort, in that he gave up any shred of humanity that might still have lingered, without considering the possibility of failure or pain he was doling out on others. All in all, he was a classic villain who belonged to the dark side.
3 Nico: Ravenclaw
While she possesses the kind of optimism that Hufflepuffs have, and the level of thrill-seeking that Gryffindors revel in, Nico is a lot like the Ravenclaw Luna Lovegood. She has her heads up in the clouds for the most part, but sees things others don’t.
Her intuition over a matter is a kind of logic hard for others to locate, and her mastery in weapons represents the kind of tinkering mindset that makes Ravenclaw so smart and resourceful to begin with.
2 Vergil: Slytherin
One could consider Vergil to be like Draco Malfoy, only very talented and being able to back up his arrogance with results. Still, Vergil did have an entitled personality, believing he deserved to rule simply because who his father was or because he was powerful.
He’s finally matured enough to understand more about his formerly antagonistic ways, although his thirst for supremacy remains. Vergil’s expert use of tactics and cunning plans have also been used in masterful fighting skills, something every Slytherin can appreciate.
1 Dante: Gryffindor
The guy even wears red for the most part, and pretty much everything about Dante screams that he belongs in Gryffindor. His confidence and cockiness have always been in good measure, all for the sake of fighting the good fight.
Despite being rather self-centered, Dante never hesitates on the opportunity to sacrifice himself; he keeps promises that he makes, and goes the extra mile to fight the evil ones. The Sorting Hat wouldn’t take two seconds before deeming Dante a Gryffindor, and he could even wield the Sword of Gryffindor as his primary weapon.
