2. Introduction
---------------
Why, yes! This is the game script where you can play as Dante in "Viewtiful
Joe" on the PlayStation 2 version. Some "spelling errors" may not be my fault,
as I'm basing it off of the game's subtitles.
--------
3. Story
--------
Devil-hunters Dante and Trish are at the movies. Apparently, Dante made some
bet with Enzo that involves him being only in his underwear. Between dividing
his attention between the film and Trish, a familiar foe snatches Trish
straight from the movie screen - MUNDUS! Dante jumps right in to save his
partner and receives the Bangle of Time from Captain Blue. Time for the
legendary devil-hunter to go to work! LET'S ROCK!
-------------
4. Characters
-------------
The major characters, namely those from "Devil May Cry".
Dante: The younger half-demon son of the legendary Dark Knight Sparda, who
betrayed Mundus and sealed the Demon World more than 2,000 years ago. Dante
doesn't have any problems hunting devils with his customized M1911 pistols,
the aptly name black Ebony in his left hand and the white Ivory in his right,
and his personal sword, Rebellion.
(Note: The sword used by Dante here is the sword Alastor. In the original DMC,
his starting sword was Force Edge, while in later games it becomes Rebellion
due to various retcons.)
Trish: A demon with lightning-based powers in human form, created in the image
of Dante's late mother. While she originally worked under Mundus, she later
pulls a heel face turn and helps Dante out against her former master. She's
quite the devil-hunter in her own right, and now wears Dante's amulet that was
originally a memento from his mother.
Mundus: The Emperor of the Underworld, the former master of Sparda before
Sparda betrayed and sealed him 2,000 years ago. His power is on par to that of
gods, being able to create dimensions. Now, he's back for revenge against
Dante and Trish!
Blade Master Alastor: The demon spirit of the sword Alastor. Without him
inhabiting the sword, it's just another regular piece of steel. Alastor (the
demon) wasn't quite happy with how Dante treated him.
Captain Blue: A former super star, he's fallen on some difficult times and
wound up stuck in Movieland. Needing Dante's help, he grants the devil hunter
the Bangle of Time as a form of assistance and teaches him how to use the VFX
powers.

5.1 Opening
-----------
NARRATOR: Captain Blue fights with every ounce of his being. He fights against
the dark forces of evil, for what is right. This is all that Blue has ever
wanted; to do the right thing.
DANTE: Get up, old man!! Look at me! I got nothing ot hide!
TRISH: You can't fool me, you know. Your latest girlfriend kicked you out,
right? Sure you're only interested in human girls, Dante?
DANTE: Trish, it's not like that. I can explain. It's nothing to do with babes
this time. I made a bet with Enzo...
TRISH: Hey, whatever. Tonight it's just you and me...
DANTE: Not tonight you know it doesn't work that way.
MUNDUS: Muahahaaah! I have won! The dark side prevails! Now you have seen
just how flimsy your sense of justice is, Captain Blue! Now I rule this world!
The world is MIIIIIINE! Ha ha haaaaah!
DANTE: After the flick, all right?
TRISH: You promise?
NARRATOR: And thus Captain Blue was brought to his end. Goodbye, beautiful
world. Nothing will ever be the same again...
DANTE: What is this? It's over already?
TRISH: Dante... something's weird.
DANTE: Weird? Yeah, that guy's outfit!
TRISH: Take a look at yourself, buddy... But no, it's not that- WHOA!*
MUNDUS: Clever girl. You can sense my evil power!
DANTE: Hey, I've heard that voice before... Whoa!
TRISH: What the...!? Dante, stay back!
DANTE: Trish!
(MUNDUS punches Six Majin out into the real world)
DANTE: Heck of a show. WHOA!**
*The "WHOA!" isn't in the lines but she says it.
**Same applies here for Dante.
-----------------
5.2 Dante's Back!
-----------------
DANTE: An invitation I couldn't refuse... But where's the welcome party?
CAPTAIN BLUE: Do not be angry. You are the one who makes the Devil cry. We
need your help. We need your strength. A great danger threatens this world.
DANTE: 'Guess you've heard about me... you got some demons that need cleaning
up? I like dirty jobs.
CAPTAIN BLUE: This is no mere "job". You are the only one who can stand
against this danger! I am sure you do not need any help... But here, take
this.
DANTE: The "Bangle of Time"... Not bad - think I like it!
=Tutorial 1: Duck - He's Back!=
Do you remember the cocky devil-hunter with just the right dose of charm that
you couldn't help but love? If this got your attention, you'll be thrilled to
know that... Dante's back in the game!
=Tutorial 2: Dodge up - The SUPER Slick Devil Hunter=
This silver-haired hunk doesn't even flinch before the hordes of fearsome
goons. A real man doesn't need to rely on cool leather outfits. All he needs
is a little attitude!
=Practice=
Nevertheless he never went to battle without wearing his favorite underwear.
(When you're done staring at his body, press the SELECT button.)
(Before battling CAPTAIN BLUE)
CAPTAIN BLUE: What's the matter? Can't be bothered to use your real powers
against anything but demons? Let us see what you are truly capable of! You
shall fight me!
(After battling CAPTAIN BLUE)
CAPTAIN BLUE: What...power! Such vast power-- The V-watch is keening in
response. In the world of movies, the only limit is your imagination. It's
time to create your own vision! "HENSHIN!!!"
DANTE: Devil May Cry's a rockin', baby, yeah!!!
=Tutorial 3: Slow - Eat This!=
The devil-hunter still lives up to his legendary name with his stylistic gun
and blade combos. Well now he's got a new style. It's spelled V F X! It's
Dante's debut gig in Movieland! It's time to rock the box-office baby!
(Before battling CAPTAIN BLUE)
CAPTAIN BLUE: The man whom Devils fear. Come! Show me your true strength! Now
is not the time to hold back!
(After battling CAPTAIN BlUE)
=Tutorial 4: Mach Speed - Just Like Lightning=
Looking for Dante, eh? Forget it! He'll go anywhere to track down his lead.
You'd have better chance finding Hulk Davidson on Route 66. -Local Snitch-
Enzo Fellini
(Before battling DARK FIEND - CHARLES THE 3RD)
CHARLES THE 3RD: Ah, an unexpected guest. You're the devil-hunter, yes? I'm
afraid you have watsed your time. You shall die here.
DANTE: You're the waste, guano-brain. Demons aren't the only things I hunt.
I'm a jack-of-all-trades. I clean up all kinds of garbage. Garbage just like
you...
CHARLES THE 3RD: You don't know when to shut up. I was told that if some
loud-mouthed fool in a red coat came by... I could do whatever I wanted with
him. Seems like you're known in the underworld. So, why don't you show me...
Your so-called demon power!
(After defeating CHARLES THE 3RD)
CHARLES THE 3RD: You did indeed show me...
DANTE: Back to your crypt, huh? I suggest you stay there a long time.
------------------------
5.3 Some Like It Red Hot
------------------------
(Before battling CAPTAIN BLUE)
CAPTAIN BLUE: The man whom Devils fear. Now! Now is the time! As a soldier and
a warrior... I challenge you!
(After battling CAPTAIN BLUE)
CAPTAIN BLUE: There is no doubt. That power... You truly are the Legendary
Dark Knight, Dante! There is no shame in losing to one such as you. You have
saved my soul, Dante. Now, you must go forth... And face your destiny! Go,
Dante! May the heroness be with you.
=Tutorial 5: Zoom Punch/Kick - A New Legend=
The fact that Dante's a newbie in Movieland, doesn't stop him from doing his
thing. "I overthrew the Underworld. You're nothing to me, Jadow scum!"
=Tutorial 6: Zoom Jump/Stomp - Let's Rock Baby!=
Whether it's in heaven or on earth, his dual guns, sword, and VFX power
orchestrate his Viewtiful Jadow butt-kicking in Movieland!
(Before battling IRON ORGE - HULK DAVIDSON)
HULK DAVIDSON: Yo, Yo, Yo, Yo, Yo, Man! What'up, What'up, What'up?! Who da
hell are you, kiddo? Another small one. I sensed something a little bigger.
What a disappointing catch.
DANTE: I guess you're the comic relief. There's always gotta be a muscle-
headed jackass.
HULK DAVIDSON: What? What you say, kiddo? Got to give you credit though... You
haven't run away yet. Quite impressive. All right, spit it out. Where are you
from? There ain't nobody in this world who hasn't heard of me! If you're a
stranger here, then I guess you don't. But it's too late for you now. Recess
time is over boy! There's no holding back!
DANTE: Come and get it. The last meathead who said that to me is cold in the
ground. Don't even remember his name...
HULK DAVIDSON: You make me mad! I'm goin' to show you some real strength. The
same strength that took down... The Demon-Slayer years ago!
(After defeating HULK DAVIDSON)
HULK DAVIDSON: You are... The real thing!?
DANTE: Yep, the Legendary Dark Knight, Dante. Now you know, sweet dreams!
Okay, Karnival? Let's rock!
-----------------------------------
5.4 2,000,000 Leagues Under the Sea
-----------------------------------
PA SYSTEM: Warning warning. A bomb has been armed. Repeat. A bomb has been
armed.
(After disarming the bomb)
PA SYSTEM: The bomb has been disarmed. Repeat. The bomb has been disarmed.
(Before battling AQUATIC TERROR - GRAN BRUCE)
GRAN BRUCE: Oy, matey, here at last? The legendary swordsman! Come to hunt me
down? Me the Aquatic Terror that everyone fears?! But take a look. We've got
THREE submarines. Guess which one uh... uh... goes to our hideout. Because I
AIN'T TELLIN'!
DANTE: Fine. I'll try the yellow one first.
GRAN BRUCE: Doh! Hold on there! It ain't that easy, matey! To ride a sub, you
need a ticket. And I got ALL the tickets. If you got no ticket... You get
taken... uh... uh... To our hideout!
DANTE: So I get there either way? What an idiot.
GRAN BRUCE: Oy, you shut up, mate. Okay, your punishment... I'll take you to
our hideout and... No, wait... not the hideout...
DANTE: I ain't got all day, tuna-breath. But hey no worries mate. I'll go to
your base on your submarine.
GRAN BRUCE: R-really?
(After defeating GRAN BRUCE)
GRAN BRUCE: So, anyway... You're going to our hideout?
DANTE: A handyman doesn't usually do cooking... But I make an exception when
it comes to grilled devilfish...
------------------------
5.5 The Viewtiful Escape
------------------------
(Before battling ANOTHER JOE)
DANTE: Hey, I like the threads. Red always looks sharp.
DANTE: You got a tongue? What, you don't like a bit of re-par-tee? No need to
act tough like that. Let's be more upbeat.
(After battling ANOTHER JOE)
PA SYSTEM: Condition Red. Condition Red. All crew evacuate immediately.
Condition Red...
(After escaping)
DANTE: This isn't the first time I've had an underwater escape.
---------------------------
5.6 The Midnight Thunderboy
---------------------------
PA SYSTEM: Emergency, emergency. This train is totally out of control.
Activate emergency brakes. Repeat. Activate emergency brakes.
(After stopping the train)
PA SYSTEM: The emergency brakes have been activated. Repeat. The emergency
brakes have been activated. Thank goodness.
(Before battling BLADE MASTER ALASTOR)
ALASTOR: Looks like you're having a hard time... Without my spirit in your
sword.
DANTE: Who are you?
ALASTOR: What kind of greeting is that? All that time, being carried on your
back.
DANTE: Alastor? No wonder the sword rusted out... With its master lurking
around in this place.
ALASTOR: I had very good reasons. Are you listening? *ahem* "Alastor's diary:
One a Wednesday. Today, Dante and I went out for some demon hunting. Dante
spun me around like a madman! And then swung me into a Marionette - wham! When
I smashed into the Marionette, it really hurt. But he never apologized."
DANTE: Man, you really hold a grudge...
ALASTOR: "Day XX, Month XX. Today was the day we were to set off to explore
Somwhere Island. But Dante forgot to take me. He left me behind, all on my
own. He didn't even send me a postcard."
DANTE: I don't remember that...
ALASTOR: You see? Undeniable proof of your countless wicked deeds! I once
called you master... But if that strength was a sham, then you had no right to
wield me! Let's see who's the strongest, once and for all!
(After defeating ALASTOR)
ALASTOR: I admit, you are strong. And your strength... is truly... Legendary!
You are, after all, my master.
DANTE: No need to get mushy on me. We go back a long way. You are the only
sword for me. From now on, I'll be faithful!
ALASTOR: Leave me alone for a time... I need to have a cry.
---------------------
5.7 The Magnificent 5
---------------------
(Before boss rush)
DANTE: This place stinks... Stinks of rotting garbage...
(Before battling INFERNO LORD - FIRE LEO)
TRISH: Dante!
DANTE: What are you doing in there? Why don't use your super strength?
TRISH: I would if I could! How many times do I have to tell you? Don't speak
to people like they are dumb apes!
DANTE: Well, not an ape exactly...
FIRE LEO: So, you're both here. The famed devil-hunters of legend.
DANTE: So you know us? You think if you cage up my partner, you can take me
down? Bad plan. No one walks off after messing around with my precious.
TRISH: Dante...
DANTE: Neat line, eh?
FIRE LEO: I see the rumors are true. But I am alone, and I know you're not the
type to gang up two against one. So I'll go one-one-one against you and rip
you apart first! Give the girl a show.
DANTE: Fine with me. But you're the one who'll be hurting at the end. You
don't want to see her get mad...
FIRE LEO: You don't understand. The stronger my opponent is, the more alive I
feel! A REAL battle - that is what I demand!
DANTE: A real battle? With her? You must be crazy... But I'll help you warm up
before that!
(After defeating FIRE LEO)
FIRE LEO: Such incredible anger...! Or was it perhaps... love for a woman...?
DANTE: Trish!
TRISH: Dante!
(MUNDUS appears)
TRISH: Dante - it's a trap!
DANTE: Trish!
MUNDUS: Don't think it's over yet! You'll never get the girl! She shall be the
tool of my revenge!
DANTE: You're the one in the movie theater!
MUNDUS: Dante! The real nightmare begins now. Pursue me if you will. Your luck
is about to run out!
-------------------
5.8 Dante and Trish
-------------------
TRISH: Dante...
DANTE: What's this gloom I feel...? Could it be...?
MUNDUS: Welcome. I am Mundus, Emperor of the Underworld. Lord of all that I
survey! My servant Trish has torn asunder the seal that bound me... And I live
again!
DANTE: What? That seal we created was supposed to keep you locked away for all
eternity. Trish...? What's going on?
MUNDUS: For all eternity!? Humph! You think your pathetic spells have any real
power? Maybe you should know that I planted a "seed" withing Trish. Then what
humans call "feeling" began to swell in this creation. As that demon seed
gradually grew stronger... Its power began to wear away the cursed seal. I was
reborn, and took over this creature called Blue. Slowly, I built up my power
in Movieland.
DANTE: Let Trish go!
MUNDUS: Regrettably, I cannot. She, too, will turn against me. Yes... With the
same power that brought her back from the brink of death...
TRISH: Ha, you make me laugh! You're afraid of the very tool you created!
MUNDUS: No, you are mistaken. In that amulet... Resides the soul of a human.
The one who gave birth to Sparda's son... The one who protected that son's
life, who protected YOUR life... That detestable woman... Eva's soul!
(Before battling DARK EMPEROR - KING MUNDUS)
MUNDUS: The real enemy was you, Eva! This amulet was used to ressurect the
child Dante. I shall destroy it, and you with it!
DANTE: Don't get too excited, Mundus. In the name of my father, I swear... I
shall seal you in your prison with my own hands!
MUNDUS: How interesting. You actually think you can win without your mother's
help?
DANTE: C'mon Six Majin!
TRISH: Dante, be careful...
(DANTE's Karnival combines with Mega Megabot - Six Majin)

5.9 Ending
----------
(After defeating MUNDUS/CAPTAIN BLUE)
CAPTAIN BLUE: Thank you. You saved me. I shall never forget it - the day I
first heard that demon whisper in my ear. I was vain and proud in my
success... When I failed, I was gripped by the darkest despair. I withdrew
from my former world, and crawled with my shell. I lost myself in the world of
make-believe, sinking ever-deeper into corruption and depravity. I thought it
would stay that way forever. But suddenly... They sunk their fangs into my
flesh. The minions of darkness invaded my heart. I was defenseless. I was
unable to resist the voice, beckoning me deeper into the darkness. And before
I knew it...
TRISH: No.
CAPTAIN BLUE: ...I was no longer human.
TRISH: What are you saying? When you were fighting Dante, your humanity shone
through clearly. No man or woman can claim to have never made a mistake. It is
how we recover from those mistakes that makes us human. I too...
CAPTAIN BLUE: Thanks to you.
DANTE: Hey, check it out. A happy ending! I guess this Movieland place isn't
too bad.
CAPTAIN BLUE: You think so? Then... How 'bout this?
PA SYSTEM: Warning! Warning! Large numbers of UFO troops detected closing in
to Earth! Motivation: World domination. Missile fired. 60 seconds to impact.
DANTE: That sounds bad. Now what?
CAPTAIN BLUE: That's one of the best things about movies. Things always go
wrong once before you get to a happy ending! The more tight spots there are,
the happier the ending will be!
DANTE: So you're extending the contract? I like my money up-front.
CAPTAIN BLUE: Money can't buy you everything, you know. Trust me on this one.
Handyman Dante... Never moved by money but only by beats of your heart. Now
go. Your fans are waiting.
DANTE: Work for free? Well, it wouldn't be the first time.
TRISH: Not so fast! Dante! What are you thinking?
DANTE: What?
TRISH: No more of this pro bono stuff. Who's gonna bring the bread home?! Hey
gramps, if you don't have the cash, we'll take something else. How about
another bangle like the one you gave Dante? Come on, give it up. You still
have one, right?
CAPTAIN BLUE: Well, uh...
DANTE: Look, the party's about to start, boys and girls. When the going gets
tough...
TRISH: "Devil Never Cry" gets going. Ready to clean up the bad guys? How 'bout
we get it over in ten minutes?
DANTE: Make that five. Get ready for the cinematic debut of the legendary
Devil Hunters! Let's do it, partner...
DANTE & TRISH: Dante and Trish!

6. FAQ
------
Q: Found some mistakes! Go fix them!
A: Normally yes, but I'm sticking with the subtitles. Keep in mind, when you
play Dante's story the spoken dialogue is basically the original lines played
backwards, save a few phrases like "Let's rock, baby!" If you still feel that
I should to do so, e-mail me (see "Contact" section).
Q: What are the few lines Dante "speaks"?
A: They are "Yeah!", "No mercy", "Too late, baby.", "Let's rock.", "All
right!", "Devil May Cry's a rockin', baby, yeah!", "Are you ready? Let's
rock!", "Adios.", "Yee-ha!" usually whenever he gets to extend his VFX meter,
"Devil May Cry!" when his VFX meter refills, "Devil May Cry's a rockin', don't
come a knockin', baby, yeah!" after the flying sequence in "Leagues", "Okay!
Let's rock!", "Time to go to work, guys" at the beginning of "The Midnight
Thunderboy", and his catchphrase, "Jackpot!"
Q: Have you ever played "Viewtiful Joe"?
A: Attempted to once on the Gamecube a little after it was released. Some of
the game reviews weren't kidding when they said that it was difficult. I never
quite got into it, so I returned it.
Q: Then what about "Devil May Cry", or any of them?
A: Heh, another game on feeble attempts. Much of my knowledge is from watching
YouTube walkthroughs and "quite" a bit of reading of the supplemental
materials found online or the actual art and guide books themselves. While the
bulk of DMC's back story - characters, monsters, history, etc. - is in
Japanese in said books, my handling of Japanese is enough to let me grasp the
majority of it. I'll probably go attempt to find some time to play it fully...
Q: Why write this guide?
A: Story in regards to DMC. While I've never played any DMC game completely
through, the stories told and the characters in the games plus the additional
supplemental materials is what interested me in DMC. Major kudos to Hideki
Kamiya for creating a game series that could've been shallow but subverts it
by having a rather rich back story. A second reason is to provide additional
information for the DMC fandom.
