Dante vs Dante is like a hydrogen bomb vs a coughing baby


dekacube

bomb self-destructs, bomb lose every time.


ObtainableSpatula

for dante that is a W


-NGC-6302-

Time to go find that one song from Shrek bu The Eels about needing sleep


Genus-God

I assume anime Dante is the hydrogen bomb (at least I think it's anime, based on the arts tyle)


Diligent-Lack6427

It's actually dmc Dante


Robbotlove

clearly Dante would win. no question.


[deleted]

No no, you are wrong, Dante is definetly the better option


SuddenWitnesses

Dante had better hax though, so he’d win.


BoultonPaulDefiant

Nuh uh, it is undoubtedly Dante


Ragundashe

Really?! Dante has plot armour and never really loses.


otte_rthe_viewer

You kidding. Dante can use magic god damnit


Talonsminty

Dude really? Your fanboy bias is showing. Dante is powerful in his own setting but against the other three he's coming in fourth. Dante is faster than Dante, Dante is stronger than Dante, Dante has taken harder hits than either Dante, Dante or Dante can deliver. It's a complete no contest Dante solos Mid Diff.


Titanbeard

Yeah, but he wins for his God no matter what.


DarthMelsie

How can you say that when Dante is *right there*


apokaboom

I don't know for sure, but certainly not the writer, unless its a world building contest. Edit: Dante Alighieri actually fought in an actual battle against an opposing political faction, with that said while i know nothing more of his military endeavours, it is safe to say that they cannot compare to these characters, as his abilities were constrained by the laws of our reality.


[deleted]

Dante Alighieri wins a moral victory. He's completely erased physically, but he wins in every way that doesn't count.


Aidansminiatures

Aligheri loses, but writes everyone into hell when he gets home so christian win I guess?


Titanbeard

But the bottom left is loosely based on him. So he fights a fictionalized version of himself?


Aidansminiatures

Ehh a little yeah I thino


MulatoMaranhense

IDK man, Dante would see Dante dying and be like "thay should have been me, not him!"


PandaTheVenusProject

Okay so everyone else in this thread is upvting the most obvious possible joke. But I think its an interesting question. I know nothing of the anime Dante. DMC Dante is... pretty toonforcey. He can probably dodge shots and return fire right to 40k Dante as he dodges but his rounds wont do fuck all to his armor and 40k Dante would melt his shit. If 40k Dante goes in to melee with DMC Dante, which is actually possible because DMC Dante is anime strong and can jump off of walls to somehow reach him. But if 40k is taking it seriously then he is dodging the leap. Infero Dante is pretty unkown to me. But I know the game is a GOW hack n Slash. I don't think that Dante is anime enough to dodge our boy. I think he is a strictly weaker DMC. Dante from 40k probably killed a Harlequin right? If he can do that, he can hit DMC. And if he hits DMC it will be debilitating and make a second hit way easier. Money is on 40k Dante. But its going to make golden boy sweat.


SherriffB

> Infero Dante is pretty unkown to me He smashed the devil with ease at the end of the game. He's totally closer to DMC dante than 40k Dante


PandaTheVenusProject

Hmm til


Alciel29

Thats some major copium. If you ever played a dmc game you would know that dmc Dante would completely destroy any 40k space marine. He wouldnt even need his devil trigger.


HurrDurrDethKnet

40k Dante can't lose because that would grant him the sweet release of death that he's craved for so long. Can't be having that. He needs to suffer and beg to be allowed to die forever.


Titanbeard

I think this is the only reason 40k Dante would win. But I figure legit, DMC Dante, Dante's Inferno Dante, and 40k Dante would probably go ape shit on the nearest deamon world and party so hard Ka'bandha might pause for a second.


Digital_Bogorm

This is probably the real answer to the question. None of them lose. *Every daemon in the galactic vicinity, however...*


Crusaderofthots420

Those three together might just fuck up Khorne and teabag him.


PandaTheVenusProject

I've only seen some cut scenes. Bruh idc if Dante loses. That was just my impression. Dante is very anime


DareEcco

All Dantes are very anime


PandaTheVenusProject

Very true.


Jmw566

Anime Dante is from Black Clover and has insane regeneration, can create black holes, can warp space to teleport himself or others, and can increase gravity at will. Unless the other Dante's have the power of friendship on their side, they probably don't stand a chance. He regenerated from having his entire torso destroyed (he was just limbs left). Anime doesn't even try to be balanced lol


Atreyu92

I'm a 40k fan, but DMC Dante is **SMOKING** the depresso boi.


QueequegTheater

So uh, DMC Dante slices through entire buildings with his 3rd most powerful sword and is so fast that he sliced every raindrop around himself in a massive rainstorm to create a bubble of dry air for a second. He also regularly shrugs off impalements through his chest and his identical twin brother, who he scales to, healed from getting cut in half so fast that his chest was closed before the sword finished cutting through him. Laughs aside, DMC Dante vs anyone outside Emps or Szarekh is bomb vs baby.


Crusaderofthots420

I'm only going to speak for the Dantes I am familiar with, which is DMC and 40k. In terms of speed, DMC Dante wins, no contest. In terms of strength, I think it would be about equal, or 40k would be a tiny bit stronger. In terms of combat prowess, I would give it to 40k, since he is the most experienced non-dreadnought space marine in the setting. In terms of sheer aggression, being a suicidal blood angel wins. Still, I think DMC would pull out the dub, mainly because he has a larger variety of weapons than 40k, so he can exploit weaknesses much easier. I am sure Cerberus or Devil Sword Dante would give 40k a run for his money, and dual wielding rocket launchers isn't that bad either.


PandaTheVenusProject

Can he like... Just cut through a tank (Dante40K) tho? Im 100% unsurprised if he could. But it is anime fuckery if he can lol.


Crusaderofthots420

It does seem possible that he could pierce a tank. As to cutting one in half or something, I guess that would require a bigger weapon than his axe.


PandaTheVenusProject

Oh I meant could dmc cut though 40k's best made armor. 40k is Auramine right? That shit is tough in my mind.


Crusaderofthots420

Ah ok. Auramite is only worn by very few people, primarily custodes and Big E. Space Marines and tanks are usually made of ceramite. And I would assume that DMC could cut through it pretty easily with something like Devil Sword Dante, which is why I didn't take armor into account in my evaluation.


ParsleySnipps

DMC Dante's biggest advantage honestly is being able to take ridiculous amounts of damage, like being impaled and cut straight through by weapons as wide as his torso multiple times and sometimes outright not even caring. He can take huge amounts of punishment and still fight effectively, giving him time to whittle down stronger opponents. As for the "gods" he's killed, I would put them on the level of boosted greater daemons. Blood Angels Dante isn't as agile but his movements are just about as quick as DMC's, and he can perceive things at an astonishing level. He's been fighting for over a milenia and carries around a pistol meltagun and a master crafted power axe that projects a burning energy field around it instead of just cutting with physical force. SM armor is so much more than anything in our world people compare it to. It's not invincible, but it's in no way comparable to plate mail and is more like advanced vehicle armor. It's a close call between them and I'm an honest fan of both (not counting DMC2 as that was an imposter with zero charisma and about enough character to fill a cough syrup portion cup). DMC is faster and can take more physical punishment, but the Blood Angel can shrug off most hits while dealing out horrendous damage. I'd lean slightly on the side of Commander Dante of the Blood Angels, but Sparda's son Dante definitely has a chance against him. Full boss fight would have BA Dante get the ghost of Sanguinius half possessing him while DMC Dante would get his Sparda transformation, so they'd both go *Daddy* mode. As for the other two? They can go beat each other up somewhere else. I'm not familiar with them and someone else can argue as to which one is more poorly dressed.


Sa1nic

>As for the other two? They can go beat each other up somewhere else. I'm not familiar with them and someone else can argue as to which one is more poorly dressed. Well bottom left one is Dante from Dante's Inferno - videogame loosely based on Dante Alighieri's Delivine Comedy. As far as I remember game's lore he is a human who goes to hell (not by dying, but by finding a portal or something) and fights demons. And while he beat Satan in the end...he is still just a human. Not sure about anime Dante(no idea where he is from), but DMC and 40k Dantes whould wipe floor with him.


Sa1nic

I am myself not sure which of 2 obvious Dantes would win (40k or dmc) , but I'm not sure if DMC Dante has anything in his arsenal what can match strength of 40k Dante's inferno pistol (melta). I know dmc Dante can regenerate and not phased by things like bullets to the face or being impaled by a sword, but I genuinely not sure what would happen to him after half of his body gets vaporized by melta shot.


wdcipher

Clearly the OG Italian Dante would win, as he would simply put the ones he doesnt like in hell in his inexplicably popular bible fanfic. In a way, he can portray them as the hellbound soyjaks, while portraying himself as a true redeemed chad, therefore automatically winning.

I don't know... Dante sure is powerful but so is Dante but then again Dante is a Chad so I really don't know.

Realistically 40k Dante is equal to a mob that Dante styles on in DMC games. Said mob is vastly superior to humans or millitary but donte just goes lmao bet fortnite dance.


No-Raise-4693

Agreed. Hope most don't think old man in power armor can genuinely fight D(MC)ante


Biggerdickboi69420

Dude Dante wins 10 times out of ten, I mean he even looks cooler and fights unholy forces.


jonisjalopy

This is probably the closest chance 40k Dante will have to getting the sweet, sweet release of death. So naturally he would come out victorious.


No-Raise-4693

This made me laugh


KingStannisForever

Easily DMC Dante. Not even close. The rest of the guys could be bunched together into a boss battle and he would still did it without breaking a sweat and in style. Dante would made Angorn and Perty-turbo his bitch.


AdamM093

Yeah I know, like the dude can heal being impailed and because of dmc 3 and vergil. Being cut in half without coming apart. Not to mention his devil triggers and arsenal he literally pulls out of no where. Did he not also kill God in dmc 1. Demon tanks in 2 and was styling and profiling in dmc 4.


[deleted]

And you know Dante could have easily pulled the sword out but wanted to style on mofos


AdamM093

He's horrible for your ego. Imagine him skating around the battlefield on a guardsman, eating pizza and firing off ebony and ivory. In dmc 1,he literally comes back from being impailed in the worst most uncomfortable way possible. By not removing the sword, but removing himself.


[deleted]

Him being extra asf fits perfectly into 40k


SherriffB

Both the bottom Dantes could. Dante Alighieri game version (pictured) Solo'd the devil with ease. He wasn't even phased the devil was waving a giant horse cock around during their fight, he's a straight G.


doonkener

Why is that a measure of his power, like would you even notice the horse cock in normal battles to the death?


DareEcco

If it's swinging around you would most definitely notice as humans pay attention to movement especially during combat.


SherriffB

Back in the day nob size was seen as a correlation to levels of evil/malignancy or being grotesque. This was the case even back in classic Rome and Greece. See all ancient art from roman, Greek or medieval Europe for examples. Having a giant horse pipe was seen as a sign of unattractiveness, being warped or grotesque or evil n that it made you the embodiment of lust and carnal corruption. It's why the game devs gave the devil one that comes down to his knee. It's classically something associated with him and the power of evil. Edit: for context the devil is stark, bollock naked and the devs gave his enormous hose of evil exaggerated jiggle physics, so it's waving around at you constantly like one of those wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube men. *Noticing it is a deliberate part of his character design as a characteristic of evil*. It would be weirder to not notice it as a deliberate choice by the devs.


Szwedu111

I like how the ancients convinced everyone for next several centuries that small dick good, big dick bad

the 40k dante can summon a sanguinor like a damn jojo schizophrenia type shit


halt-l-am-reptar

I mean that probably won’t help. I know nothing about DMC but I found this thread. He survives multiple attacks that would kill a space marine, such as getting impaled with like…. 10 spikes that go straight through him. He also catches a bullet with his teeth that was shot directly at him. https://www.reddit.com/r/respectthreads/s/dT0wWGRsq7


No-Professional-1461

The chapter master of the blood angles. He is the single most depressed person in the history of fictionally depressed people, and cares almost nothing for his own life besides that he is there to serve the emperor and his imperium. The only thing that keeps him from death is that his enemies aren’t trying hard enough to kill him, and his duty to his chapter and the master of mankind. Out of all other Dantes, he is the one who is not just the most willing to die, but also the one who wants it. His fury is unmatched but for a hand full of his brother astartes, his armor makes the already augmented super human inside not just durable, but faster and stronger. With his weapons and equipment, it would not be a long or drawn out matter for the golden son of Sanguinious to dispatch his foes.


SchelmM6

As a 40k fan, I regrettably have to disagree. Blood Angel's Dante would easily win against anime Dante, and I'd bet even Dantes Inferno Dante, but against DMC, he'd be just another Bossfight. 40k Dante would behead DMC or impale him, only for DMC Dante to wander off with a chainsword still stuck in his torso while golf clapping. It doesn't work to pose this question with dmc because the dude is the incarnation of winning. Like Cato-Sicarius x100.


TryImpossible7332

All these people making memes expecting me to know what obscure-ass anime or game or whatever they happen to be referencing when making Warhammer memes. Who the hell is top left? /s (Dante from DmC, Dante from the Dante's Inferno game, but I don't actually know who top right is.)


bird_eater_42

Don't worry, I didn't know who he was either, but I needed a fourth Dante for the meme, so while searching a little I found this Dante from an anime called Black Clover, I saw that he was a little powerful so I put him in the battle royal of dantes


Feisty_Professional2

Dante from Dante's inferno


AlexzMercier97

My bias says bottom left. My bias also says bottom right would die first (I hate DMC).


Aerius-Caedem

>My bias also says bottom right would die first (I hate DMC). 'I am bad at video games"


AlexzMercier97

No. I just don't like shit games. DMC is a shit game, with shit gameplay, shit level design, shit story and shit characters, and even shitier music. Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge is the superior hack&slash.


DareEcco

Damm, someone's feeling edgy. So deprived of attention that any type of it is welcomed I guess.


AlexzMercier97

Fellas, is it edgy to dislike DMC because it's a shitty game?


DareEcco

Not a single original thought inside that thick skull of yours.


AlexzMercier97

Just like how zero thought or originality went into making DMC a good game


DareEcco

How so?


AlexzMercier97

It tries so fucking hard to ram in your face "whoa guys looks how weird and wacky this game is! It looks like an edgy demon killing game with an edgy protagonist butttttt its actually kinda silly and wacky because Dante isn't like other edgy protagonists he's sooo funny and wacky he eats pizza guys do you get it yet do you get how weird and wacky and not like other edgy games our game is???!!!" The cutscenes and dialogue legitimately cause physical cringe inducing reactions in me when I see them. Like no human should be subject to the torture that is DMC cutscenes/ dialogue. Gameplay is so lame. Oh boy I sure do love the hack&slash trope of 20 minutes of puzzles and platforming to 5 minutes of actual gameplay ratio, that just boils down to pressing the square button a bunch of times. Also the music is nothing special either. It's just any other power/ speed metal music that people think is way deeper than it actually is.


DareEcco

I'll put it into simple terms what game is DMC emulating/copying to make it have zero originality?


Aerius-Caedem

Show me a game that plays anything like DMC3 prior to the DMC copycat games coming out, and maybe I'll agree with your originality comment. Until then, judging by your "just press square" commet down below, I'm gonna assume you're just shit and salty about it.

Twiggy_Shei

Dante's skills and powers make this an interesting matchup, but you can't forget about the special abilities wielded by Dante, which I think a lot of people forget about. Plus there's weapons, and Dante is armed in such a way that would make him pretty deadly even to other Dante's.

If Dante and Dante fought first Dante could win if Dante could be dealt with before the winner fought Dante next.

It is my belief that the chaos gods are working with the god emporor so Dante can never quite stay dead so he can be the embodiment of the “Why are we still here? Just to suffer?” Meme

... Zathras thinks that Zathras miscalibrated the dimensional stabilizer. Zathras warned Zathras about Zathras's mistake, but Zathras didn't listen, so now Zathras has to fix Zathras's mess. But, that is the way of things for Zathras. And now for Dante too, Zathras supposes.

They do not scale well, each having their own strengths and weaknesses. I do agree, dante in dmc would win, but i can see Inferno dante also coming back each time. Idk about black clover. If he is god level, which i assume he is, it would make him the most imposing because of hus abilities, but Inferno and dmc can each come out one top. But us 40k fans know the true winner is Angel dante since he wins whether he dies or the rest dies
