Devil May Cry/Heartwarming

• Despite how Narmy it was, the scene of Dante crying over Trish's death is remembered by several as the most touching moment of the series.
  • Out Of Darkness is this in itself.
• Late in Lucia's disc in 2, Lucia is still distraught about her real origins, but Matier reassures her that the value of their history and experience is far greater than the circumstances of Lucia's birth.

Matier: Now, go. Everything that I know, I have passed on to you. You are my daughter. Lucia: Thank you, Mother.

• Dante giving Nero the Yamato in DMC4's finale:

Nero: What...? I thought this meant a lot to you...? Dante: That's the only kind of gift worth giving. I want to entrust it to you, and so I am. What you do from here is your call.

• Unusually for the series, Devil May Cry 4 features a genuinely, if quietly, moving relationship between the hero Nero and his lover Kyrie. Halfway through the game Kyrie is kidnapped by the Order, who intend to trap her and Nero inside their artificial god and use them as a power source. Nero's eventual rescue of Kyrie, almost completely ignoring his hated enemy to catch her instead as she falls, is perfect.
  • This troper's rather fond of the opening scene of the game, with Nero running through the city, fighting off a horde of demons, heading to a place that, as we find out pretty quickly, he doesn't want to be, just so his girlfriend knows that he was there watching her sing and give her a present. That's remarkably sweet for a guy like Nero.
• "Quite frankly, at first, I didn't give a damn. But because of you, I know what's important now. I know what I need to do....Trust me! I'll make things right for you. That's what my soul is telling me to do."
• When Trish tries to apologize to Dante for selling him out to Mundus, Dante comforts her with his motto: "Devils Never Cry."

Trish: Dante, I... I... Dante: Trish, devils never cry. This tears, tears are only what humans have.

• • Dante just seemed so happy that Trish was all right. She practically glomped him in the ending.
  • This is also a Tear Jerker.
• Kyrie telling Nero that she likes him just the way he is.
  • Bear in mind that Nero's Devil Bringer (his demonic hand) glows gold when Kyrie touches it.

Nero: Kyrie... If I'm a demon, and not a human anymore... is this what you want? Kyrie: Nero, you're you. And it's you I want to be with... I don't know anyone who is as human as you are.

• Just after Nero defeats Sanctus Diabolicus:

"The power of Sparda...why won't you give me strength? Am I not worthy?!" "Never could take those legends too literally. But I do know that Sparda had a heart. A heart that could love another person: a human. And that is what you lack!" —Sanctus and Nero, moments before Nero shoves Yamato straight through Sanctus' stomach.
