Devil May Cry

Trish is a demoness that looks identical to Eva. She has lengthy, blond hair, blue eyes, and a very fair complexion. Her clothing usually consists of black leather pants, high-heeled boots, a corset, double belts, a choker, and some kind of wrist accessory.
In Devil May Cry and Devil May Cry 2 , her hair is parted slightly to the right, and her corset is black with a lighting bolt design that leaves much of her chest bare. She has black leather pants with a double belt and black knee-high boots. She accessorizes this outfit with a choker, a fabricated gauntlet on her left forearm, and a pair of sunglasses.
For a majority of Devil May Cry: The Animated Series , she wears her Devil May Cry attire, however in Rolling Thunder, she first appeared wearing a brown leather jacket. She would later change into a white tank top with various laces on it. Her black pants had yellow lightning bolts on both of the back pockets and were held up by a brown belt with a large silver bucket. This white outfit is accessorized by a black choker, a gold bangle on her left wrist, and a black armband with a large metal plate on her right bicep.
In Devil May Cry 4 , Trish's hair is mostly swept back with some bangs on the side. Trish wears a black corset with white filigree and a lightning bolt design on the front. The zipper on the front is also designed like a lightning bolt. Her black leather pants have lightning bolts on her rear and white filigree-like designs on the hips. Trish's pants are held up by double-ended belts. Once again she has a pair of knee-high high-heeled boots. Her accessories consist of a black choker and a black leather gauntlet with three belts on it. Her nails are painted black.
Trish retains this look in Devil May Cry 5 , But her corset is smaller and more revealing, with a larger opening in the front (resembling a lightning bolt) and exposing more of her midriff. Her stomach is more toned in this part of the DMC series, features two lines of strong abs. Her hair now has longer front bangs.
As Gloria, Trish has a tan and a white, chin-length bob. Her outfit is a lacy, white one-piece with orange accents that exposes her chest and inner thighs. The chest area is held closed by a thick, orange chord zig-zagging across both sides. The one-piece has a loincloth and a long tail. She has white thigh-high, high-heeled boots. Trish accessorizes this outfit with white, elbow-high gloves that fold at the top exposing an orange lining. It also has blue feathered shoulder pads.
Trish's Devil Trigger encompasses her in a smoky yellow aura and she dons her sunglasses.

As a puppet of Mundus, Trish was originally cruel and uncaring, but after Dante saved her, she began to develop emotions and compassion towards him, and eventually sacrificed herself to save him from Mundus's attack. After being revived, Trish joined Dante at his shop, and showed excitement at being his partner. By the time of the animated series, she has gone off on her own. She maintains a flirty and carefree attitude throughout.
Trish returns occasionally and seems to enjoy playfully picking on Dante and giving him trouble, and although she rejoins him in Devil May Cry 4 , she has basically the same habits and bickers with Dante at several points in the game, she is also shown to be more feminine in her appearance than other women in the series, having been shown re-applying lipstick before leaving for a mission and has painted her nails. She happily took Dante's compliment of her disguise as Gloria, saying she dresses to impress.
Like Dante, Trish enjoys a good fight, prolonging a fight with Lady for up to two days rather than telling her who she is (although Trish compliments Lady's skill and determination and found her more interesting than she thought). In the epilogue of Devil May Cry , she challenges Dante to complete their mission in five minutes and in Devil May Cry 4 , she refers to her upcoming mission as a "party". In Devil May Cry 5 , she started a race with Lady to fight Urizen. Despite her seemingly non-caring attitude, Trish was able to evacuate the people of Fortuna showing she has a moral sense when it comes to civilians.
Trish is not without empathy, as shown when she tried to calm Nero down from his distress after learning Vergil was his father. Despite her love for fighting, she desperately tried to convince him that he couldn't kill his own father. She was also willing to listen to V as he opened up to her about his past and insecurities. However, she rejected his needs for maternal approval, telling him she isn't his mother and that he should be able to move forward on his own.


Devil May Cry

Urizen is a colossal humanoid creature with 37 eyes along all his body and head, large sharp teeth and claws. His most prominent features are the thick root-like layers of flesh that cover his body, encircling his face and reaching up to form a spiked "crown" on his head. In his standing form, thick severed roots with spiked tips drape down from his back like a cloak. He also has several blue glowing orbs on his body.
After devouring the demonic fruit of the Qliphoth, the growths that cover his body slough away and reveal his true form: a large blue demonic humanoid with eyes dotted all over his body, with three larger eyes on his shoulders and torso. His face is uncovered, largely human but with sharpened teeth. His arms bear notable similarities to the Devil Bringer's appearance in Devil May Cry 4 .

As the demonic half of Vergil, Urizen represents the darkest aspects of his personality, chiefly his unending thirst for power. Completely devoid of humanity, Urizen is utterly heartless and cruel, showing no mercy to his foes, be they demon, human or even a member of his original selves' family. He didn't hesitate to unleash the Qliphoth tree upon the human world, slaughtering thousands. Like most demons, Urizen looks down upon the powerless and weak, namely mortal humans.
Unlike most demons, who constantly taunt and rant against their enemies, Urizen is largely stoic and silent, appearing disinterested in those who challenge him. However, Urizen is also prideful and utterly convinced of his superiority, even going as far to proclaim himself power incarnate. After Nero managed to actually strike and wound him during their second encounter, Urizen looked stoically surprised before expressing his outrage that a weak human would dare to strike at him, his great anger forcing him to finally rise from his throne and fully battle with Nero, nearly killing him. He was also insulted in how Dante returned to battle him again, interfering with his battle with Nero, and appearing in his true Sin Devil Trigger form. Additionally, as noted by Malphas , Urizen's pride clouded his judgement at times, as he told his underlings not to dispose of the Sparda sword and even was dismissive of the prospect that any of Sparda's surviving kin could wield and even defeat him with it (which was later confirmed through Dante's acquisition of the Devil Arm and fusing it with the broken Rebellion into his own namesake weapon that was more powerful than either ).
Dante seems to understand that Urizen merely represents not only his brother's thirst for power, but also his desire to never become weak and cast away like he originally believed his mother had done to him. Urizen believes that the only way to grow more powerful was to lose something. In Urizen's case, Vergil 's humanity. Thus, he fails to understand on how Dante can be so powerful since he has never "lost" anything.


Devil May Cry

V is a tall, slender young man with pale skin and dark green eyes. He has chin-length, natural white hair with long bangs swept to the left, which sometimes obscures his eye, but his pact with his demons dyes his hair black and covers his entire upper body and his neck in black tattoos.
V wears a long, open sleeveless leather coat with the sides tied together by strings, inside pockets, and a sewn-in, corset-like vest in the front. He also wears black pants with a silver chain made up of skulls on the right side of his belt and a fingerless glove on his right hand. V sports many accessories, including a tooth pendant around his neck, silver ring on his left middle finger, and a spiked bracelet that crisscross around his left wrist. Unlike most characters in the series, V wears black sandals instead of boots. V carries a silver metal cane , which serves as a weapon and a tool for support since his slowly decaying body making it hard for him to move, and a brown, gold-embroidered book, containing poems by William Blake , with a large "V" insignia in the cover.

A dying V with cracks all over his body.

When he was separated with Vergil by stabbing himself with Yamato , he was naked and covered in a purple haze as his entire upper body and his neck in black tattoos were quickly formed.
In the second half of the game, V's deteriorating condition caused his skin to become flaky and cracks to gradually form on his skin, showing that he was literally falling apart. In this state, he could barely hold himself up, even with his cane, and required Nero to drag him into the Qliphoth's lowest chambers.

In contrast to the more flamboyant Dante and hot-headed Nero , V is a quiet, calm, and relaxed individual. While V is generally polite to everyone he meets, V is a man shrouded in mystery and does not speak more than necessary, which caused Nero and the others to question if they can trust him. Due to being the human half of Vergil, V possesses all of Vergil's knowledge of the Demon World and often reveals that he knows things that no human should have knowledge of, but does not explain how he attained such information, which only makes others more suspicious of him. Due to his odd appearance, behavior, and abilities, many people often found V to be unsettling and have often questioned if V really is a normal human despite his frail look. Devil May Cry 5: Before the Nightmare

V reading and quoting from his book.

A distinctive trait of V is his extreme fondness for poetry, as he often recites lines when speaking to people or even enemies, and often by memory alone, to the point where Griffon calls him " Shakespeare " at one point of the game. V greatly treasured his book of poems, as his original self, Vergil, possessed it since he was a young boy. Devil May Cry 5: Before the Nightmare Keeping in line with his original self's personality, V has a dry sense of humor and is not above jokes or finding antics around him amusing. While first introducing himself to Dante quoting Infant Joy , V was being cheekily literal with Dante, as Vergil used Yamato to split himself on May 1 and V met Dante on May 3; therefore, he had been alive for about two days.
Being the human half that Vergil repressed and disdained, V is more in touch with his emotions and is introspective. V often reflects over his "past self", such as remembering how prideful he was in the past and that he was the type to be irritated at being called a "dead weight". He deemed Urizen to be full of "delusions" while expressing a deal of regret towards his own actions as well. Unlike his former self, who looks down on humans , V has been shown to respect humans and believes that their tenacity to never give up is their best quality. Devil May Cry 5: Before the Nightmare
As he is aware of his limits and capabilities, V has demonstrated to be pragmatic and cautious in how he approaches situations. While confident in his abilities, V is able to tell when a fight with certain demons would be too much for him to handle and will walk away from it or leave it someone else to deal with. While V is willing to do morally questionable things and even outright lie and manipulate his allies, V possessed a genuine desire to save the world from Urizen and help humanity, even at the cost of his own debilitating health. Devil May Cry 5: Before the Nightmare

V enraged at seeing the Angelos .

Upon seeing Proto Angelo and Scudo Angelo , V's collected demeanor cracked and he became enraged at the sight of them due to his memories of Vergil's horrible time as Nelo Angelo. While V was mostly affable towards Dante, Vergil's lingering resentment towards his brother was still within him and he expressed resentment and hatred towards Dante while he was unconscious. Before re-merging with Urizen , V also revealed that his intense desire of power strongly lingers in him. In V's idle animation, V even runs his hand through his hair, in a way similar to Vergil's habit of slicking back his hair.


Devil May Cry

In terms of physical appearance, Vergil has fair, yet pale skin, and white, swept back hair, which puts emphasis on the fierce, yet stoic expression on his face; however, when his hair is brushed down or becomes wet, his appearance is physically indistinguishable from his younger twin brother, Dante. Just like his brother, he also has the same, blue eyes.
In terms of apparel, Vergil commonly wears a long, silver buttoned blue coat with three separated coattails. A white, serpentine pattern runs around the collar, with a snakes head hanging over the coat's left shoulder, and its tail slinking down the right, all the way to the bottom of the coat. A gold lining runs across the edges of the coat, and a silky, golden flower blossom pattern decorates the inner lining. Each cuff of the coat also possesses five, gold buttoned straps with gold lining; in Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition , the coat also features identical straps on each shoulder, decorated with silver buttons instead of gold. Before facing the demons, Vergil wore a long brown hooded cloak where he conceals his main outfit.
Underneath the coat, Vergil wears a navy blue ascot wrapped around his neck, which hangs over a black, sleeveless vest that reveals his well-toned arms and shoulders. He wears tan, fingerless gloves, a brown, snakeskin belt with a silver buckle, dark green pants with a scale pattern running across its surface, and tall, brown boots with two golden buckled straps at the top.
During certain in-game cutscenes in Devil May Cry 3 , Vergil's golden half of the Perfect Amulet can be seen around his neck, yet it is not a permanent part of his character model.
As Corrupt Vergil, Vergil's appearance becomes much more sinister; his skin takes on a sickly, almost grey pallor with blue, pulsating veins running across his face. His eyes become a deep red, with black pupils. In addition, he now wears his father's clothing instead of his own, with his half of the Perfect Amulet replacing Dante's half as its brooch. In Devil May Cry 4 , his outfit is slightly modified to his coat split into three coattails similar to his old outfit.
While serving as Nelo Angelo's base, Vergil has completely white skin tone, with blue veins and red, pupil-less eyes.
In Devil May Cry 5 , Vergil looks nearly identical to his younger self from the third game, but is older in appearance due to the passage of time. His coat is now black with light neon blue serpentine patterns and three separated coattails with slightly tattered edges. Vergil is no longer wearing an ascot tie as he was seen wearing a black sleeveless zippered-turtleneck beneath his midnight blue formal vest. He also wears charcoal gray fingerless gloves, black pants and dark boots covered by teal gaiters.
When he initially appears in his weakened state and severs Nero's Devil Bringer to regain Yamato in order to separate his human and demon halves, creating V and Urizen in the process, Vergil wore a tattered long black hooded cloak to cover his outfit, and half of his face was shown to be pale white with blue veins, retaining these features even after his defeat from Dante as Nelo Angelo and being freed from Mundus' corruption, however when V and Urizen reunite to bring Vergil back his skin returns to normal.

In contrast to his twin brother Dante's boisterous, outgoing, and extroverted personality, Vergil is calm, cool, collected, and introverted, constantly maintaining an aura of fearlessness. [4] Vergil cares little for the well-being of those around him, and is unflinching in his pursuit of power; however, in spite of his cold and ruthless demeanor, he is an honorable warrior who maintains his own set of morals and disciplines. Vergil despises fighting dirty and refuses to use firearms, deeming them to be unworthy of a "true warrior", though he will still use ranged attacks if they can be made to originate from a melee weapon. [5] His code of honor still surfaces while he is corrupted as Nelo Angelo: he refuses to attack Dante from behind and waits until both are outside to begin their first fight. In Devil May Cry 5 , after he was restored and then attacked by Dante, he noted that his brother was weak and wounded from his fight with Urizen . As such, despite having been able to easily kill Dante, Vergil allowed him to rest and recover, stating that defeating Dante while weakened had no meaning. He also has a tendency to speak in a very formal and somewhat antiquated manner, possibly as a consequence of reading a great deal of classic literature in his younger years. It should be noted however that his "code" is more based upon proving his dominance than any sort of underlying morality. As such he is perfectly willing to utilize methods or tactics that may be dishonorable for the sake of becoming stronger, or in situations where he simply has no other choice. For instance, when he tore off Nero's devil bringer arm to retrieve Yamato, he essentially ambushed Nero while his back was turned. However, as he was dying at the time, he likely lacked the time or energy to engage in a full-on battle with an opponent of Nero's caliber.
Unlike Dante, Vergil is willing to embrace his demonic heritage, and seeks to emulate his father's power and cold persona. While Dante seeks to protect humanity from the demons, the only thing which Vergil seeks in life is even greater demonic power. His desire for power is an almost character defining obsession for him, and almost certainly stems from having not only lost his family as a child, but from being on his own from the day of his family's destruction on. Despite his normal personality of cold dismissal, he does cherish certain things - the Devil-blade Yamato , a dark katana left to him as a keepsake by his father, his own half of the Perfect Amulet , a keepsake from his mother and, after his own realization, his own son Nero . In Devil May Cry 3 , Vergil seems to reveal some of his feelings by claiming to Dante: "Might controls everything, and without strength you cannot protect anything, let alone yourself." . This may be a reference to their mother's death. It may also imply that Vergil seeks power as compensation for failing to protect her. His failure may also have made him forsake close human relationships, due to his perceived fragility of humanity. He appeared also to link the acquisition of power to loss or sacrifice, complaining as Urizen to Dante during their final battle that Dante should not be as powerful as he is due to having "never lost anything."
V is the human side of Vergil, and he is able to see his past without the coldness and uncaring eyes of Vergil himself. This is his human manifestation that he has kept suppressed all his life to attain his goals of power. V describes Vergil as "One who lost everything", and that the defeats he suffered only caused him to sink lower. Ashamed of his actions, V realized the gravity of crimes he committed and how important the things he threw away in the endless pursuit of power really were, such as his humanity and younger brother. V explained to Nero that "he", meaning Vergil, only wanted to be protected and loved, but since he was alone his only option was to survive.
V mentioned that he originally went to Dante in the hope that he could right the wrong that Vergil created with the birth of Urizen and all the past horrors he had caused during his lifetime. The legitimacy of V's actions and words comes into question when he reveals in his final moments that he had manipulated Dante and Nero in order to remerge with Urizen , due to his fear of dying and being without power. However, either intentionally or not, he also achieved what he mentioned: stopping Urizen's invasion and making Vergil a better person. After Urizen's reintegration with V, Vergil was seen to question his choices as he stood atop the Qliphoth , wondering aloud if his fate might have been different if he had experienced Dante's life. He was also willing to leave his book of poems to Nero, and implied that he would be back for it at some point. His interactions with Dante in Hell after destroying the Qliphoth were also significantly less antagonistic than ever previously seen, with the two of them working in tandem to kill a demon horde and sparring rather than genuinely trying to kill each other.
Vergil is very strong-willed, capable of fighting off Mundus' control for a time and upon seeing Dante's Amulet , causes Nelo Angelo mental anguish.

Devil May Cry

White Rabbit is a tall, slim, bunny-looking type of a demon wearing a suit as wells as pair of glasses. He have two visible
scars stitched with seams on his head.

White Rabbit is very mysterious and unclear in his motives, despite leading Dante into the trap, he has also saved him from a few dangerous situations. He has possessed Alice in her dreams, yet he has admitly stated that he feels sorry for her. While he has hired Dante for a job, which was never meant to be completed in the first place, he eagerly sent money to the Enzo Ferino account. He also has proven to possess a lot of knowledge about the twins. He has meet with Dante personally and even got shot by him, but when it came down to meeting Vergil , he used a doll in order to avoid being killed.


Devil May Cry

In his true form, the Despair Embodied, Argosax possess an androgynous appearance depending on the form in which he shifts (possessing both masculine and feminine traits), although both his male and female appearances feature a fire-like appearance in the formation of a human with horns protruding from the head. [4]

Argosax does not communicate or display emotion against Dante, but is described by the Protectors as supremely evil. [3] What this demon desires is destruction, chaos and despair. [5] His true nature is stated to be the ultimate despair. [6]


Devil May Cry

Berial has the lower body of a large bull, the legs and feet of a lizard or dragon, the upper body of a human, and a lion-like face, topped with vicious horns, and he towers above the single-story houses in the battlefield. His body is black, like cooled lava, with large, wing-like jets of flame sprouting from his humanoid shoulders and more flames cascading off his tail. When his flames are extinguished, these fires disappear and the creases in Berial's body take on more of a smouldering orange glow. In addition to his claws, Berial fights with a massive flaming sword, similar in appearance to a Zweihander, but his great size and strength allows him to wield it with a single hand. His attacks are slow, but powerful and with great reach; two aspects which no doubt helped him to conquer the Fire Hell.

Berial appears to be a curious demon with a lot of honorable and warrior personality traits. He initially considered Nero as unthreatening and ignored him, but when Nero swings his sword to put out the flames, he becomes curious and confronts Nero. He dislikes being disrespected and unleashed his wrath on Nero by engaging him in battle.
He seems to ridicule the idea of humans posing as gods, calling Sanctus and his entire charade ridiculous. His honorable qualities shine when he acknowledges Nero's demonic power and combat prowess. He even confronted Dante and stated that he will avenge his fallen compatriots by slaying Dante, suggesting he holds some level of respect for the legendary Devil Hunter.
However, Berial hated defeat and retreating from a fight. After being defeated by Nero for the first time, he chose to retreat with great reluctance. But after being wounded by Dante and even being offered a chance by the Devil Hunter to return home to the Fire Hell, Berial refused and instead preferred to die fighting than flee, to which Dante repels and kills Berial.


Devil May Cry

In her dragon form, Echidna resembles a giant plant serpent with feathery frills on her neck, and several eyes on her head. However, the head can open up into four petals to reveal her true body, a woman's torso growing out of the tail, similar to a mermaid, with the serpent's "tongue" splitting large red plumes that grow from her head like hair.

Echidna is a demoness who likes to sneak up on her opponents and swallow them whole. She has a sentimental attachment to the forest she lives in, claiming it as her own. She has a desire for her children to merge with as many life forms as possible, believing it to be the kindest fate she has to offer. She is very protective of her Chimera children and is greatly angered when they are killed, as seen when Nero shot down some of her Chimera Seeds in battle. Aside from her children being harmed or killed, she is pretty thick-skinned, as she said that Nero and Dante's insults and jokes are futile against her.


Devil May Cry

Hollow Dante is a demonic copy of Dante with white skin, hair, and clothes, black eyes, and bulging veins around his eyes. He constantly smirks or scowls at Vergil, and wields the Rebellion .

Unlike Dante, who respected Vergil, Hollow Dante seems to enjoy using his status as the older brother to continuously mock Vergil.


Devil May Cry

Malphas is a large female demon. She has a large, bird-like body. This body has no feathers and has large, clawed arms with a baby bird looking head. On the top of the back, there is a humanoid body of three black eyed women melded together.

Malphas' humanoid body displayed proud and confident personality, boasting over her might as the demonic sorceress as shown throughout her fight against Nero. She is loyal to Urizen's cause and would do whatever it takes to ensure his reign. She also has cautious side as well as somewhat better judgement than her master, as she instructed Cavaliere Angelo to dispose Sword of Sparda despite Urizen's order to let it be, knowing that the weapon would be his downfall as long as Sparda's kin is still alive (which later confirmed through Dante who absorbed both the sword and Rebellion into a new Devil Arm which he used to defeat him). Her bird-like body on the other hand, behave much animal-like yet obedient to the former, as it assist the other in combat or moving around.


Devil May Cry

Nidhogg is a fully grown version of the smaller parasites littered throughout various roots of the Qliphoth within Red Grave City. Nidhogg's primary body is an orangish skinned humanoid form of a torso, two arms with long blade like tips for hands, and a head with no face, eyes or mouth, though despite this Nidhogg is still able to speak and see.
Nidhogg's body is attached to a long, thick root emerging from the Qliphoth, with Nidhogg's main body living with a massive growth of roots and bark from the demon tree itself. Nidhogg has limited control over at least three larger roots with ridged scales and snake like heads that resemble flower pods, with rows of razor sharp teeth in their mouths.

Nidhogg is a formidable and aggressive parasitic demon. Like Goliath , he is not the sharpest tool in the shed, yet whereas the former is an arrogant brute who overestimates his own powers, Nidhogg is a rather stupid being plagued by inferiority complex despite possessing devastating abilities. Another similarity between the two is that they are easily offended, reacting angrily whenever they are insulted. In fact, he is unable to speak properly in some occasions, let alone making proper responses to Griffon 's verbal jabs throughout the fight much to the familiar's amusement.


Devil May Cry

As Dante's younger twin brother, Vergil bears a close resemblance to him and has blue-gray eyes, and their facial structure is modeled after Dante's voice actor, Tim Phillipps . However, while Dante's hair is black, Vergil's is white. He wears a black coat with a long tail on the right side and a collar with a larger left side. There is a Brassard on the left bicep of the coat, which also has blue, ornate scrollwork sewn into the left side of the upper back and a blue lining. Vergil's hands are covered by light blue gloves, and he wears a blue dress slacks, with black leather shoes. When out in public, he often hides his silver hair underneath a black homburg with curled brim sides. He also wears his half of their mother's amulet, a pendant identical to Dante's, albeit blue in coloring.
When issuing videos for The Order, Vergil wears a silver mask with a menacing, toothy grin quite similar to Jester's face from Devil May Cry 3 and uses a voice distorter.
After becoming corrupt, Vergil's appearance is similar to that of his original counterpart's "corrupt Vergil" his hair becomes unkempt and swept back, his skin pales, showing some of its veins, and though he loses his pupils and his irises become orange, these changes are eclipsed by the bright light his eyes radiate. His coat, while remaining black, acquires a white tint in the collar, and his sleeves and hands constantly emit a white aura.
Interestingly, his facial features are very similar to that of his classic counterpart's helmetless Nelo Angelo appearance.

Just as Vergil and Dante's styles of fighting differ, so do their personalities. Vergil's personality is almost the exact opposite of Dante: calm, collected, intelligent, respectful, and polite. He also has a deep love for his brother, as shown by their various interactions. Vergil found it absurd when Mundus demanded to trade Kat for Dante. His love for Dante is also shown when they playfully argue over which of them was better. He was deeply hurt when Dante betrayed him, stating that he "loved him".
After Mundus's death, Vergil reveals his true side. He is manipulative and willing to use anybody and everything to achieve his objectives, as shown when he stated that Kat was "useful." He sees humanity as weak and needing to be guided by someone-namely himself-because if not they will create chaos and wars. Vergil believed that humans would fight each other to grab power, and it was his intention to unite humanity under his flag for a better cause. Because of these views, he came to blows with his brother.
During Vergil's Downfall , his 'betrayal' at the hands of Dante caused his mind to change. He became ruthless, cold, vengeful and power-hungry, desiring absolute power. He would cut down anyone who stood in his way of gaining power as he killed any feelings he had for Kat, Dante, and his mother. He resents Dante for always being better than him. He also showed that he resented his mother for playing favorites with him and his brother, for showing more love for Dante. His resentment toward his former bonds is connected to him denying and neglecting the responsibility toward the concequences of his actions, saying what he did had to be done. He also believed what his parents taught him was wrong and believed power was the only thing that mattered to him.


Devil May Cry

Geryon is a type of demonic horse capable of localized control of time. The demon steed Geryon resembles an enormous, dark hued horse with a mane and tail of blue flame, it's hooves, mouth and eyes also possessing a blue glow. Geryon pulls a large hearse made of black steel, with wheels featuring sharp spikes along the rims.


Devil May Cry

Physically she is a young woman with a fair complexion, eyes of a grayish color and, to Dante's words, with sapphire hair and pigtails.
She wears a long-sleeved violet gray shirt, a cream skirt with white bottom embroidery, a cherry-colored bottom skirt and striped socks with red shoes. In addition to wearing a silver ring on the ring finger of his left hand.

It is known that she was a woman who cared very much for her brother to such a degree to appear as a spirit to help him even after death. Believing that Dante would not accept his request, he was somewhat nervous that he was his only chance for his brother to be free. She was also angry once Patty declared that it was possible that she was guilty.
After the release of Kerry, Lynn was happy.


Devil May Cry

When she was a human, Elena was a tall woman with long blond hair, green eyes and a voluptuous figure. She dressed in ways that made her distinctive, often wearing black or wearing highly revealing clothes, but the one part of her clothing that never seems to have changed is her sickle-shaped earrings.
After her transformation into a demon, her ears elongated into sharp points, and she grew gills on her neck as well as various marks on her face. She had claws on her hands and feet as well as sharp teeth. However, she still wore the sickle-shaped earrings and one of her revealing outfits.

Elena seems to have started out as a friendly, outgoing young woman who wanted to be a rock star. However, as she played more and received no recognition, her frustration became more evident, soon making her aggressive, even going so far as to strike her friend. It is possible that this was the result of the demon possessing her.
Soon afterwards, she started to become more famous, and withdrew from the rest of her band. This was due to the demon taking hold more and more, even to the point of transforming her body. At this point Elena was sad and confused, and starting to regret her fame, as shown by her attempting to escape aggressive fans. Afterwards, she is trying to take back all of her own recorded songs, but her motives for doing this aren't entirely clear.
Even with the demon inside her telling her to kill, Elena was still able to recognize her old friend, and was visibly upset when she saw him. However, the demon possessing her continued to tell her to commit violent acts, and even though she was conflicted, she attacked Dante and her old friend again.


Devil May Cry

Dante stands at around six feet and with a more rounded face, a small scar going across his right eyebrow and cheek, and wider jaw than he was in the TGS 2010 trailer, as the character model was updated to resemble the actor portraying him, Tim Phillipps , and his eye color seems to be grey-blue. His hair is black, with the sides of his head shaved, forming a mohawk out of the hair at the top of his head, tapering off into a point at the nape of his neck. As the game progresses, the hair at the back of his head can be seen changing permanently white. He also sports a strange glowing tattoo on his back between his shoulder blades. In one trailer, this tattoo glows briefly and heals scars he has on his back, and during gameplay, it can be seen through his coat as he switches to an angelic or demonic weapon, which is also accompanied by blue or red color.
His attire consists of a faded black, 3/4-length, hooded leather coat with red interior linings and the British Union flag sewn on the left arm, a gray tank top, black fingerless gloves, black faded jeans, black military boots, and a necklace reminiscent of half of the Perfect Amulet that features prominently throughout the series. His sword is slung over his back favoring his left hand, and his pistols are placed in holsters which are located at the back of his waist, under his coat. Dante also seems to be ambidextrous, favoring either hand for melee attacks with his weapons.
When Dante uses the Devil Trigger, his hair is flushed completely white, his coat becomes bright red, his eyes become red with white irises and small vein-like cracks run across his skin. These effects fade when Devil Trigger deactivates, but after his final battle his hair remained white permanently.

The new Dante's personality is sort of similar to the original Dante's, but because of the change in setting and his past, there are quite a few pronounced differences in some of the ways Dante interacts with others, especially demons. The young man carries himself in a different slick, confident manner as his counterpart, with a more vulgar and spiteful tone.
Dante is very rebellious towards authority figures but laid-back to anyone else. Living on the periphery of society and caught between two worlds, he feels like an outcast. Young and angry, but with a quick wit and black humor, he is disaffected and disassociated with society, and seemingly quite apathetic. He has no fear, and no respect for authority, especially not the demonic authority that runs the world in which he lives. [1] He has no qualms with engaging in debauchery and other hedonistic acts, mostly because he believes he won't be around for too much longer, [2] because of all the demons constantly breathing down his neck.

Doubting his own humanity, Dante once ripped open his chest to confirm he had a heart.

However, Dante has a huge heart beneath all of this rough exterior. He purposely chose to live out his life his own way because his eyes were opened to evil as a child, especially when the people who were supposed to take care of him turned out to be demons. He decided to take a stand and fight back, no matter what happens. But even after all of the hatred, violence, and murder, Dante would often look at himself and see if he could call himself human, going so far as to rip his chest open to see his own heart. He just knew that he had to convince himself he wasn't insane. Dante displays a more caring side to his female associate, Kat , telling her to leave him and find safety when they come under attack, and even risking The Order 's plans to save her life.


Devil May Cry

Kat is a girl with a pale complexion and blue eyes. She wears a blue hoodie with an orange body, which she keeps up over her head while on missions, hiding her short brown hair. She has three necklaces, the longest having a silver pendant, and wears denim short-shorts, along with thick, knee-high socks and brown boots. She has a stencil tube slung over her back, used in her tagging with spray paint that hangs off of her waist. She has several mystic-designed tattoos on her arms and forehead.

Kat has a sweet, innocent nature, and is willing to risk her life in pursuit of the Order's goals.
Kat has strong feelings for Vergil, possibly explaining her zealousness for the Order, yet curiously, she chooses to protect Dante over Vergil before Mundus. Vergil and Kat briefly fell in love, but Vergil wiped their memories in order to protect the two of them from what he perceived as a weakness. Some believe her loyalty to Vergil stems from the remnants of that love, although it is possible its roots lie more with her personal conflicts with the demons. The Chronicles of Vergil
Kat helps Dante connect with his emotions deeper than his initial rush of vengeance and bitterness, learning humility and compassion. Through Kat, Dante sees the plight and struggles of humanity and learns that his personal problems pale in comparison.

Sparda's portrait depicts a man of regality and sophistication. In the photograph, he is attired in a red frock coat with a pauldron on the left shoulder, and a strap running across his chest from right to left. His hair is dark gray, with a strip of silver in his bangs showing his age and his demonic nature, as seen with Dante's progressively whitening hair. The portrait is torn over Sparda's face, so no features are known, other than that he is light-skinned. Sparda is also seen with Rebellion and stands next to a shield bearing the crest tattooed on Dante's back.
While living with Eva, however, Sparda wears modern clothes, including a simple white shirt and slacks.
In his true form, Sparda retains his human appearance but has a pair of horns on his head.

Yatsufusa is mature stylish man with long violet hair and light indigo eyes. He wears a gray collar long sleeves shirt with open collar showing part of his chest and a long red cloth around his shoulders, tan pants, black with gold trimmed belt and black shoes.
In addition, he wears golden necklaces and several rings.

Yatsufusa spends most of the game playing the fool and feigning ignorance toward Itsuki 's actions. He comes off as the eccentric producer that he is regarded as, and in turn doesn't rouse the suspicions of Fortuna Entertainment . It isn't until after the Opera of Shadows has reached the point of no return that he lets down his mask and reveals his true nature.
Though he compares himself to Itsuki as being a " Mirage Master ," his relationship with Gharnef isn't of the same sort. Gharnef treats the idea as something of an amusement and refers to Yatsufusa as "Master" in a sarcastic sense, but otherwise they are simply partners that desire the same outcome.

The protagonist has a muscular build, upward facing eyebrows, very pronounced cheekbones, and a military style hair cut. He is said to be handsome by many characters, even on missions. He is often seen wearing his Demonica with a white sleeve, which nobody else seems to have (with the exception of Demonee-Ho ). Though it could be interpreted as representing the protagonist's neutrality, the purpose of the white sleeve remains unexplained.
After the alignment lock, the protagonist's features change slightly if the player is Law or Chaos aligned. If Chaos aligned, his eyes will turn yellow with dark rings underneath them, and have a small smirk on his face. If Law aligned, the protagonist's becomes more cold, as noted by another crew member, and his eyes turn white with no pupils.

Like most main characters of the Shin Megami Tensei series, he is a silent protagonist where the player decides his personality and ideals based on the choices and actions taken. That being said, his dialogue options are much more mature than other silent protagonists; he often speaks with a professional tone accompanied by reserve and manner, befitting of his age and temperament. The protagonist is however flexible, especially accentuated when speaking with demons.
He is stated to be the second most popular member on the ship by and after Dent . In fact, he is one of the only, if not the only, human(s) who befriended Jimenez who is something like the black sheep of the ship. Additionally Zelenin , who often carries herself above others, has admitted that she admires the fact that the protagonist is not fazed by anything. Above all else, his popularity really shines through in Sector Grus when the entire crew of the Red Sprite trusts, and will follow through, whatever method the protagonist decides to upon to deal with Grendel . Despite all of this, the protagonist is apparently closer to the demons than the crew itself according to Anthony . It is not known if this statement was made in jest or not, however.

The leader of the Brutes tribe, Varin is a headstrong and somewhat cruel military man. He remembers Serph and Sera , blaming them for their misdeeds in his past, and his memories of his past life are so complete he thinks of himself as his original life and identity, growing upset when others do not use his original name. Varin was the first to awaken to the truth; he remembered every member of the Embryon , except for Gale 's old persona. His "Turbulence" Atma gives him the power to transform into Ravana .
After Angel 's new announcement at the Karma Temple , he confronts her and demands to be taken out of the simulation. Angel, amused, explains to him that even if she wanted, she could not do that; he needed to leave on his own, due to the colonel's own security policies. However, she did grant him extra power in an effort to empower him to a degree where he could collect Sera himself.
At the time he ordered an assault on the Deserted Ship in an effort to capture Sera, he was aware of his identity as Terrence Beck, and insisted on being addressed as "Colonel," rather than the Junkyard name of Varin Omega. With the Hunger Wave ability, he effortlessly destroyed the entire tribe of the Wolves single-handedly. He then retreated to the relative safety of his Ajna stronghold and waited for the Embryon to arrive.
When confronted in Ajna, he and several other Brutes had already worked out their full memories. When confronted, though, his bloodlust got the better of him and forced him into a brutal confrontation. Shifting into both of Ravana's combat forms, he attempted to use the deadly Hunger Wave skill again, though he failed, as Sera, whose song held the ability to calm down frenzied demons, was present.
When defeated, he managed to say some of what he knew of the Junkyard (how all of the people in there were actually dead, how nothing of it was real, etc.) before he died amid horrific pain.

That night, he sneaked into the school's cafeteria in order to sate his hunger. Vice Principal Hanya approached him and pelted him with insults, leading to him losing control of himself and ordering his Persona to engage Hanya.
His Persona, Akuma, burst as a monster out of Kenta's chest and knocked Hanya out, and then engaged the school's Persona Users . His outburst caused the awakening of Yuka Ayase 's Persona; she later explained Kenta's outburst was partially her own fault due to a rather extreme rejection some time earlier, but she did not seem to be overtly worried about Kenta. He eventually survived the crisis, aware on some level of his Persona.

The daughter of Keisuke Komatsubara , Ayane underwent a severe amount of testing due to her father's interest in her Persona ability. She was cooperative at first, but as the experiments continued, she finally committed suicide by jumping from a plane during one of them. She bears a grudge against the researchers that collaborated with her father, but still holds her father in some regard.
Ayane is at the heart of the influx of Persona ability in Ayanagi City as well as the Apathy Syndrome incident that nearly consumed it ten years before the start of the series. She had reappeared to take her vengeance on Haruka Kanzato and Shigeru Kanzato when Shin Kanzato , shocked by seeing his parents in danger, awakened to his Persona ability to confront her. But When Haruka and Shigeru's personas risked their life to protect her from Shin's persona, she regained consciousness and denied all of her persona and extinguished it [1] , engulfing the entire city in a wave of Apathy Syndrome, causing widespread destruction as drivers and pilots succumbed to it.
Throughout the series, she appears to the Kanzato brothers, always leaving behind what the series terms as whale feathers-- white feathers that appear in the children's book their parents wrote. First, to Ryo Kanzato as she appears like a specter before him, finally attacking him with the ghost of Touma Shikura . To Shin Kanzato , she appears to shock him out of using his Persona ability to save Yumi Tasaka and in a dream of himself drowning.

He is rough and loud, and is an intimidating man who forces Eikichi to become the successor of his sushi shop. He is said to be skilled in 18 kinds of martial arts like judo , karate and capoeira . In truth, Kankichi doesn't know any of those and fabricated the rumor himself in order to intimidate Eikichi, but his son believes the rumor and fears his father to the point that he would often run to play with the Masked Circle , and never wears make up until away from him.
He is one of the vendors in the game and the protagonist(s) may buy Sushi from him as recovery items.

Innocent Sin [ ]

"Motto is "Heart, brains, and prawn." Wants Eikichi to follow in his footsteps. Rumored to be skilled at multiple martial arts..." —His introduction, Persona 2: Innocent Sin

The first time the player visits Gatten Sushi, an event will occur where Kankichi scolds his son for dressing like a weirdo and urges him to inherit the restaurant. Lisa finds it amusing that the boss of the high school has such a weak spot for his parent.
While advancing inside Xibalba , where thoughts become reality, Eikichi thought of the fear for his father, and a metallic copy of him instantly shows up to attack the party. After the fight, Eikichi bluffs and claims he has overcame the fear of his father, while the rest just shrugs. A similar event would happen to Jun later on, where he causes the party to be attacked by a metallic copy of Junko Kurosu just because he thought about not wanting to return to his mother's side.
A shadow Kankichi in leather/rubber tights forms the right leg of the Great Father and shouts "Do as I say!" at Eikichi while attacking. Its signature move "Master 18" directly refers to the rumor of his martial arts capability.

When the battle with the Longinus soldiers ends, Yukino runs over to Fujii and the two share their last moment together. Before Fujii died, he gave his camera to Yukino leaving the latter in tears. Whichever option the player chooses, Tatsuya will either leave her behind or make her come with them.
If Yukino is left behind and the party reaches deeper into Caracol, they find "Yukino" and Anna Yoshizaka defeating a party of Longinus soldiers. When "Yukino" sees the party, she tells Anna that "new toys" are there while Anna appears to be controlled by "Yukino." The party already noticed that she isn't the real Yukino but her Shadow. Shadow Yukino hugs Anna and she tells her that it must hurt when one's dreams are shattered, not knowing what is your reason for living, and to find the answer there must be destruction.
Lisa yells at the Shadow to stop saying things like that with Yukino's face; the Shadow answers that she is the real Yukino while laughing at her. She says that she will not live like Fujii did, she has all the fun she wants no matter the consequences. The party tries to tell Anna to come with them but it is in vain as Anna is not listening. The Shadow taunts the party by kissing Anna and challenges them to take her back leading to a boss fight against Shadow Yukino and Anna.
After the fight, the Shadow reiterates that she is the real Yukino and jumps off the bridge with Anna leading to the death of the latter and the ego of the real Yukino being dragged into the abyss.
If Yukino goes with the rest of the party, she will get her ultimate Persona Durga . When they reach deeper into Caracol, they find Anna fighting with a party of Longinus soldiers. The soldiers were about to kill Anna until Yukino and the others intervened. The soldiers make fun of Fujii's dreams and call him a worm, making Yukino go berserk leading to a fight against the Longinus soldiers.
After the fight, Anna asks Yukino why she saved her, and Yukino answers that is because she is just like Yukino was long ago, that she couldn't figure out what she wanted in life or for what she should live for, and she wished everything would disappear. She said that if you couldn't figure that out when you need it, you have to be calm and think for an answer. At that moment another Yukino appeared, saying that those were lies. She reveals that Yukino had two dreams, a photographer and a teacher but she can't be a teacher because she "doesn't have the brains" and she doesn't have the eye to be a photographer.
The Shadow claims that she should tell Anna about it instead of taking it out on everyone. Yukino doesn't deny it, she knew that, that's why she chose to lean on Fujii, she then told Anna that even if you fall or lose yourself, you have to keep on standing and keep going, that's what it means to be a human. Her friends taught her that and she can accept for who she is now, and if she couldn't, she could never follow her dreams. The Shadow gets enraged and gets ready to attack Yukino, the latter tells Tatsuya and the others to keep going and reach to where Jun is. When everyone leaves, Anna goes to Yukino's side and decides to help her fight the Shadow.

He is a troublesome child who sometimes blames or always fights with Yuuta for things that he didn't do.


Devil Survivor

Sousei is a humanoid android with short, jet-black hair that covers his forehead, reddish purple eyes, skin of healthy complexion and defined facial features. Unlike the other Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapons, his body is extremely bulky and even more mechanical, giving him a very masculine appearance. While his torso a black sleeveless leather vest and a rather elegant white scarf, his arms and legs are made up of various red and black motorcycle parts. Several of his limbs are marked with "R-00," which is also part of his true name.
His transformed appearance is based on a modern motorcycle. In the tenth issue of the Persona Magazine, Shigenori Soejima explained this was influenced by his personal love for motorcycles. Early concept art also indicates that he was originally meant to be able to transform into a motor scooter, a trait that was eventually moved to Ai .

A guileless and mechanical individual, Sousei can be quite unpleasant due to his temper and rough speech, often falling into distinctly childish behavior, earning him a simple-minded label from Naoto . Despite this, he views fellow android Ai as his sister and can be deeply caring and trusting once he bonds with another person, leading him to at times not question their motives or behavior.
Sousei highly respects his creator and surrogate mother, Yuri Kurogami, who treated him like her own child after he was deemed a failure by the Kirijo labs and fought for his rehabilitation. Furthermore, he values Touko due to her friendship with Yuri, treats her like an ultimate moral authority and follows her orders blindly. After a rather rough first meeting, he also begins to form a close friendship with Naoto. He has a strong sense of justice and an unshakable trust in those he considers his friends, which results in a dispute with Naoto concerning her methods and their conflicting opinions and impressions of Touko.
Sousei's speech can be described as typically male from a Japanese perspective due to his use of very masculine and conceited pronouns like "ore" (俺) and "ore-sama" (俺様). Furthermore, this style of speech is considered rude in Japan and is thus almost exclusively used in the media. Tetsuma suggests that Sousei copied these expressions from TV shows he watched during the time he spent with with Yuri, but also blames Sousei's rough manners on himself and Touko for having a loose tongue. Tetsuma also concludes that Sousei's impolite, brash and overly masculine way of talking is actually an attempt to hide his innate shyness and insecurities, two traits that are the result of having been deemed a failure by the Kirijo Group.


Devil Survivor

Touko is a young woman in her early thirties with long brown hair tied into a ponytail and gray eyes. She wears a white collar long sleeves shirt with a dark brown coat and striped pants.

A confident and intellectual person, Touko is the kind of detective Naoto aspires to be. She commands the attention and respect of her peers and keeps her calm in difficult situations.

Ochimizu is an elegant woman with shoulder-length wavy black hair with one white streak on her right side and brown eyes. She wears a white dress with a black crisscross pattern and a light teal blue blazer over her shoulders with a golden, flower-like pin. She also wears black sunglasses over her head.

Ochimizu has a mature, professional and prideful personality, coinciding with her years of experience in the entertainment industry. Very often, she is shown to be cold and look down on others, specifically Rise, making derogatory remarks and being highly intolerant of immature or amateurish behaviors. Ochimizu can be extremely strict on the idols and performers she works with, and many times she uses shameless tactics to promote them, such as broadcasting footage of her harshly pushing Kanamin Kitchen so the public will sympathize with them. She often makes up weird scenarios to help her idols get into their role.
As the manager of Yuko Osada , she might have been more supportive than she currently is, working hard with Yuko to achieve success and building a close relationship with her. When Yuko, out of despair, changed the lyrics to Calystegia and later committed suicide, Ochimizu adapted to the public blaming her for the incident, choosing to become the cruel, despicable person they assumed her to be. From Yuko's example, she came to view conveying one's true self as an impossibility and saw idols as dolls that simply had to be redressed and readjusted so as to fit the audience's desires. Despite this, she is quick to lash out at the Investigation Team for their theories regarding Yuko and her connection to the incident.
After she reverts back to normal, Ochimizu admits she felt guilty about what happened to Yuko, and that she gave Calystegia to Kanamin Kitchin because she wanted Yuko's feelings to be heard. She resolved to change and become a more supportive and reliable manager to Kanamin Kitchen, convinced now that true bonds exist.

Mika has brown eyes and long brown hair. She wears a pearl necklace, and a light blue dress. When she dresses in attire for modeling against Ann, she changes from a light blue dress to a purple one, her hair is curled instead of straight, she wears significantly more makeup, and she wears sunglasses on her forehead.

Mika is described by Ann as similar to the villains in an anime she watched as a child in that she is beautiful, strong, and wicked. And indeed, Mika is selfish and manipulative, easily willing to play to Ann's own better nature to trick her into embarrassing herself. However, as Ann notes, she is not precisely an "evil" person, just desperate and determined, not to mention understandably bitter about the fact that Ann has very little work ethic when it comes to her modeling and yet somehow keeps on outshining Mika.

After his works were plagiarized by his master, he abandoned his dream of being an artist and got a teller job in the municipal ward office. However, he couldn't let go of his attachment to art, which warped his emotions and made him attached to everything, so much that he began stalking his ex-girlfriend to relieve his stress. His ex submitted a heist request on the Phantom Aficionado Website , which was taken by the Phantom Thieves of Hearts to change his heart. In Mementos , his Shadow Self defended his actions by claiming his ex was his property and that she treated him like a plaything as well, and he expressed incredulity over the Phantom Thieves choosing to target him over Madarame before transforming into Obariyon .

The administrator of the Phan-site, Yuuki Mishima , realizing that the heist target was way too famous to be shown on the site, arranged a meeting for Natsuhiko with the protagonist so they could talk face to face. Natsuhiko was worried about the safety of Madarame's last disciple, Yusuke, if the plagiarism went on.

When Shiho briefly returns in the third semester, she wears a dark purple jacket with coral trimming and white buttons, a large pink scarf and a navy shirt with red and white stripes. She also wears cuffed white shorts, black leggings and black and white sneakers.
In the anime, she has dark brown hair. She is not shown with her hair down until the scene during which she wakes up from her coma, revealing that it reaches shoulder length.

Shiho at first glance seems to be a quiet and reserved girl who rarely talks to anyone and doesn't smile much. In fact, the only person she lights up around at school is Ann. She lacks confidence to a significant degree, thinking her volleyball skills are her only valuable attributes, and that this is "all she had."
In reality, she is an extremely stressed and traumatized teenager because she was one of the most frequent victims of Kamoshida's abuse; he sexually harasses, assaults, and spikes volleyballs at her any time he sees fit. She would endure all of this and more for the sake of volleyball. Eventually, her friend Ann outright begins to avoid Kamoshida's sexual advances; as a consequence, he declares he's going to strip Shiho of her starting position.
However, this would escalate, and it is heavily implied that she was sexually assaulted by Kamoshida. This is the "final straw" that causes her to attempt suicide. As Shiho was being manipulated, it is most likely that Kamoshida exploited his authority over her position on the team and made good on his intent to threaten her.
Although grief-ridden by her attempted suicide, Ann calls Shiho an "idiot" out of lamentation for how Shiho allowed herself to be manipulated and driven to commit suicide by Kamoshida, and further states that she herself was an even larger idiot for having not noticed or taken action sooner. Ann refers to Shiho as a strong person for her endurance and perseverance through her situation, and her determination to move again in grueling physical therapy sessions. Ann also blames herself for not having faith in Shiho's abilities, instead turning Kamoshida's threats on him by pressuring him to remove his star player from the team and see what happens.
It is said that Shiho used to be an outgoing and sociable person until she began to suffer under Kamoshida's abuse at Shujin Academy .


Devil Survivor

As the director of Special Investigations Unit, he leads an elite team of police and prosecutors that deal with government scandals and other huge cases. The team hasn't lost a case in fifty years. However, the director was only able to reach his current position by using forged evidence in order to win them. Goro Akechi managed to figure this out by meeting the Director's Shadow Self in the Metaverse , and used it to blackmail him into cooperating with Masayoshi Shido in order to proceed with their plans of killing Shido's enemies and finding a scapegoat for their crimes so Shido can go into inauguration unopposed.

The SIU Director talking about the situation with Medjed

The director appoints Sae Niijima to lead the investigation of the recent psychotic breakdown incidents and the involvement of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts , something Sae is initially honored with, but later baffled of because of her relatively fresh qualifications in the department, which turns out to be part of Shido's grand plot of eliminating the Phantom Thieves using Akechi as a front. After the supposed death of the group's leader , the director suffers from a mental shutdown on Shido's orders, having outlived his usefulness. His death is covered up as the result of a stroke brought upon by illness.
After his death and Shido's dismantling by the Phantom Thieves, a proxy director who is Shido's accomplice in the crimes involving the Metaverse is appointed to assume his post. While support for Shido seemingly calms down once the truth came out, it inversely reaches an apex during the 23rd of December as the public unerringly yearns for him to become the prime minister, putting the investigation against him into a vicious death cycle. The proxy proceeds to cover up Shido's confession to his crimes as "mental instability with no proof of a Change of Heart," then dismisses Sae from her duty because of her dedication in prosecuting Shido as she confronts him. This is actually a distortion manifested by Yaldabaoth to "demonstrate the foolishness of humanity" by manipulating the public's mindset. Once Yaldabaoth is destroyed for good, the proxy is presumably discredited and dismantled as well.

His civilian clothes consist of child sized clothes including jeans, sneakers, and a red hoodie worn over a white shirt.

0017 appears to be more curious and playful than his group-mates, likely due to his age. But in battle he is just as devious and driven as the others. He seems to like themes, particularly when facing against enemies his powers would have either an advantage or disadvantage against certain enemies, such as when Abel fought against 008 and tried to freeze him in water while playing around with 006 . He is also reckless, shown when he charged headfirst into his former teammate 0018 when he became possessed by Atun with 0017 being killed. Among his group, Abel seemed to have been close with Cain, often being seen on Cain's shoulder and when Cain tried to avenge his death.

Devilman

Agwel is a small, slime-like demon whose only distinguishable features are his deeply sunken eyes, his mouth full of razor-sharp teeth, and a pair of antennae. Its body, for lack of a better word, was a grotesque translucent blob of slime, that melted and morphed at Agwel's will.

Agwel had a rather unique manner of speech, cruel and sadistic with an artistic flair. He frequently referred to himself in third person and had a manic glee in killing.

Devilman

Even though her age isn't specified, Akiko is presumably a young middle aged woman. She had pale skin with dark brown hair that reached past her shoulders and brown eyes. She was mostly seen in a pink long-sleeved blouse.


Devilman

Akira is a teenager of average height and weight (approx. 5'8" & 140 lbs.) with short black hair that is combed forward and has black eyes. Like many male Go Nagai characters, he has prominent sideburns. After his first transformation into Devilman, standing about 6'1" and weighing 190 lbs, his build changes from average to more athletic, and black markings form under his eyes as a result of Amon's influence. He is often seen dressed in his school uniform but also wears a black long sleeve shirt, pants, and shoes in other situations.
As Devilman, his hair changes into small black bat wings on each side of his head. His forehead extending to his crown turns red and grows a pair of antennae. His lower body grows dark hair from the pelvic region down to his feet, and his hands and feet grow sharp claws on their digits. He also has a tail with an arrow-headed spade at the tip. Depending on the artwork, Akira's skin color remains the same as his human, gains a blue-green color hue, or most rarely is red. The sclera of Devilman's eyes is either empty white or yellow, which are said to be full of grief. When Devilman demands it, he can spot a pair of large bat-like wings from his back.
In special Devilman Lady chapters, Akira's spirit sports a costume to interact with the real world, dubbed Devilman Ghost. Initially consisting of a skeletal Devilman mask, it is later given a black body suit with bone-like decorations including bone armored gloves and boots. It is also decorated with a cape.

Before his initial transformation, Akira was kind and sweet, but cowardly and highly emotional at the same time. Much of the time, he used to cry in most of these situations. Shying out of any conflict or problems had caused those around him to think him as weak.
After becoming Devilman, Akira became much braver and more headstrong, as well as perverse. Because of his originally weak will, his fusion with Amon however caused him to become far more brooding and violent.
He was best friends with Ryo Asuka and had been since childhood (although this is later shown only to be implanted memories), he was deeply protective of Ryo. Unknown to him for a long while, Ryo was in love with Akira. However, Akira didn't return the feelings of love and instead cared for Miki Makimura who both shared romantic feelings for one another, much to Ryo's frustration.
He cared deeply for his adoptive family who took him in after his parents were too busy to care for him. Before his transformation, Miki was often the only friend Akira ever had and despite being talked down by her for not standing up for himself, Akira genuinely cared about Miki enough for romantic love. Miki was also the biggest hope Akira had for humanity and it was her death that made Akira lose faith in it altogether. This made Akira put all his faith into Devilman because of their pure hearts, but some outer media brought out different paths including his memories of Miki keeping Akira from losing his own humanity to Amon.
He later made friends with the gang that originally attacked him after he saved their life from an attacking demon, primarily Masa and Dosu-Roku . He was highly respected and looked up to by the other Devilmen, primarily Massami Izumi and even more so Mico , especially after he saved her life.
Later on, in Devilman Lady, he befriends Jun Fudo as the two walks through the depths of Hell , during which Akira admits to Jun that he did in fact love Ryo, but whether this was platonic or romantic is unknown. Later on, during their time in Hell, Jun and Akira begin to fall in love and they have sex in mid-flight. Akira was upset when they could not be together, especially when he saw images of Jun suffering. But his will managed to manifest through a suit Jun made for him that allowed him to protect Jun from some threats she couldn't fight against. He was surprised upon coming back into the world through Satan and finding out Jun was half of Satan. Yet for some reason, he chose not to decline Satan's offer to join the battle against God. He is also shown to express sympathy for certain demons that he had killed when he was alive such as Sirene and Kaim, as well as pure hatred for others especially the sadist Jinmen .


Devilman

Akira is a Japanese teenager of average height with a lean physique, brown hair worn in a medium length with some slight curls and sideburns, and brown eyes. He mainly wears his school uniform in an unconventional fashion, wearing a red shirt covered by a black jacket with grey lining, black pants, and brown shoes.
His Devilman form in this OVA is a hybrid of his 1972 anime appearance and the more modern incarnations. Devilman has bluish green skin, large wings colored black on the outside with a red interior, a muscular physique with spiked protrusions on his elbows and shoulders, black fur covering his legs and genitalia and a prehensile tail with a pointed tip. His head features black fur that covers the back of his head, a red forehead, a pair of antenna extended from the top, and two pairs of small wings extending from the sides of his head with the top pair being larger. Devilman has a notably deeper voice than Akira.

Prior to his transformation, Miki described him as kind but weak of will, particularly with the loss of his parents. Official material states after his first transformation Akira gained a hard, dry, yet cool personality. He normally acts rather sarcastically and uninterested in most things unless his loved ones are involved, acting protective with Miki and Ryo . As Devilman, Akira is vicious towards any demons and perceived threats.


Devilman

In his human form, Akira was an average-tho-muscular young man with short dark hair and heavy eyelashes. In his Devilman form however, he stood several meters tall with heavy fur on his legs, long tail and lower forearms. Either side of his neck were two stripes and he had a large set of wings on his back. Two bat-like ears poked out of the sides of his head and he had small antenna on top.

Akira is true of heart and good natured, concerned about the plight of the Black Ghost survivors. He shows care for his friends, and despite initially seeing the Cyborgs as a enemy, is able to get over it and become allies instead.


Devilman

Akira is a chibified version of his OVA incarnation . He was usually shirtless and had black hair with sideburns, he also had red stripes on his shoulders. In his Devilman form his skin darkens and he grows bat like wings from the side of his head. He has some short antenna and large wings.

Akira was a hot headed and fast person, he instantly became good friends with Koji Kabuto after they both realized they had a similar personality. He cares deeply for his friends and even tried to get along with his enemies.


Devilman

Akira was originally a weak, young boy with an average build for a teenager. He was rather scrawny with brown hair which possessed a small tuft near the back. After he first transformed into Devilman, his human form became lean yet sturdy, accompanied with dark eyeliner and black, messy hair. He also grew noticeably taller with a notable cleft chin.
In his Devilman form, his skin becomes a shade of bluish gray. He possesses a coat of dark fur that covers his entire legs, and he has clawed feet and fingers. His head is covered in hair that sprouts small wings from the sides and antenna near the top, and forms into a widow's peak with a red forehead. His back sprouts large black wings resembling those of a stereotypical devil with a purple interior. He also has a thin monkey-like tail.

This incarnation of Akira is a quite sensitive and caring person. As a child, he would help anyone to the best of his ability, including the young Ryo Asuka after he had lost his memories, as well as a critically injured cat. Most people knew him as a "crybaby" who would cry on anyone's behalf, including people he had never met and even those who had bottled up their own emotions, as he was able to cry on Ryo's behalf despite Ryo's inability to feel sadness for himself, as well as cry on behalf of Koda who had suppressed his emotions at the time. Akira's caring side, however, would lead him to do many questionable things, such as following Miki in secret supposedly for her well being and blindly following the morally questionable actions of Ryo Asuka.
Most people had wondered why Akira had joined and stayed on the track team in spite of being the slowest track member. This was potentially tied to "catching up" with his parents as symbolized through his own thoughts about running in their direction, as well as keeping a pair of running shoes his mother gave him for their intended meeting.
Akira would become quite cocky after his initial Devilman transformation, openly challenging thugs to a fight and entering a track race with no worries. His actions would begin to derive from a place of abnormal instinct, including intense sexual desires towards attractive women, going so far as to watch a porn video at full volume inside his school's projector room. His appetite increased substantially as well, as he is shown to consume large amounts of food in one sitting. It is implied due to the remarks made by his classmates that Akira's personality significantly changed after his transformation; Despite this, he would retain his old caring side and his previous nature, as he would use his powers to help defend the human race from the demons and would continue to outwardly show his emotions derived from his empathy throughout the series.
Akira would later develop a strong hatred for the demons after bearing witness to their actions of killing and immorality. This was accented when his parents were killed off by Jinmen . However, after his encounter with Sirene and Kaim , Akira would understand the ability to love in the otherwise bloodthirsty demonic creatures, showing empathy towards them despite his negative emotions.
Akira shows a strong sense of loyalty and care towards his loved ones, such as towards his friend, Miki Makimura. They were both shown to have displayed genuine care and affection towards one another since early childhood. He was quite protective of her against people such as Koji Nagasaki and Ryo, suspecting that they may have tried to take advantage of her or sought to cause harm to her, respectively. It was highly apparent that Miki was Akira's main hope for humanity. After witnessing her dismembered head paraded on a pike by a crazed mob, his faith completely shattered. With this, Akira would bury Miki's head, and with that, his hope for the betterment of humans.
Akira also valued his friendship with Ryo Asuka, viewing him as one of his best friends. Akira and Ryo's relationship, for the most part, appeared to be lighthearted. Akira was seen to have teased Ryo at times, pushing him into doing activities for fun, such as when he pressured Ryo into using the pool at his apartment- promptly shoving him into it despite Ryo's objective efforts. However, he and Ryo engaged in major disagreements throughout the series, as Akira became displeased with Ryo's willingness to harm or kill anyone, even including Miki, to further his plans and protect Akira's identity.
Even so, Akira trusted Ryo to end his life if he ever became anything like a demon. When Ryo ultimately betrayed Akira by revealing all of the footage he took of him as Devilman and starting the chaos around the world, Akira was deeply hurt. This was even more apparent when Ryo revealed that he had orchestrated for Akira to be possessed by Amon so that Akira would be strong enough to survive the upcoming apocalypse- and that Ryo was actually the fallen angel Satan. As Akira was furious at his friend-turned-enemy for driving the world into chaos, they would fight against each other, but in the end, Akira would die in the battle that ensued.


Devilman

Akira has short brown hair combed forward. His eyes were brown colored which had a more gentle look in them before Amon took over his body. Akira's clothing usually consisted of his school uniform that had an armband showing him as an honor's student.

Akira is gentle and nice but is easily scared and unconfident with himself and always tried to avoid conflict. However, he is loyal to Miki, putting up with her witch hijinks for most of his life. Akira possesses a strong desire to protect Miki even in mortal danger, to the point where he literally sold his soul to the devil by fusing with Amon and losing control of his body. Akira's gentle heart was so strong in that despite losing consciousness and control of his body, he started to affect Amon's behavior.


Devilman

As a human, Akira is a lean muscular boy, with short, albeit messy dark hair with sideburns.
As Devilman, he is a tall humanoid with turquoise skin. He has a large purple crest on his head and red marking around his yellow eyes. Two red lines are on his shoulders and spikes protrude from his wrists and ankles. He can grow two large spade-shaped wings from his back.

Akira was a brash but kind hearted man. He was deeply in love with Miki Makimura , and she frequently served as his resolve to continue fighting against the demon hordes. He acted as a brother to her younger sibling Tare and was on good terms with her parents. He despised the demon race, seeing them as repulsive, and gave them no mercy when it came to the act of killing.
