Yes but son of the devil!!! Tell me, how many times has Dante cheated Death??
The start cutscene for one of the games, DMC1 I think it was, where that person breaks into his shop and throws a sword through him. He stands up and pulls the bloody thing out!! He is far superior! Sidius could cut him to shreds yet I bet you your bottom dollar he'd still live.
And another thing, Dante has style! You ain't got nothing if you ain't got style.
