The camera pans across the scars of their past. Young Dante, a whirlwind of chaotic energy, contrasts sharply with Vergil, a stoic shadow reading beneath a tree. Their idyllic childhood shatters as demons besiege their home. Inside, Dante witnesses his mother Eva's brutal slaughter, her blood seeping into his hiding place. Outside, Vergil endures thirty minutes of torturous beatings, regenerating through the pain, until he staggers into the burning mansion. Brothers united by grief, they slay the demon but lose their mother. Years of street life follow—Dante masking depression with drink and fleeting encounters, Vergil burying emotion under relentless training. Now, partners in the Devil May Cry agency, they face another job. The scene cuts to them spotting you cowering in the shadows.
