The front of the coat is also patterned individually from the rest of it, resembling a sort of vest or body armor, with a zipper closed all the way up from the waist to the bottom of Dante's neck, perhaps reflecting his introverted nature seen in the game. His coat is a deeper red than in the previous game, with two coattails, yet the coat has a more pronounced buckled collar and a black strap going over his right shoulder wrapping around his chest, with two golden studs on the front. A belt featuring a skull-themed buckle wraps around his waist, and he wears black, gauntlet shaped gloves with three buckled straps on each one. He wears high black boots and red jeans once more, yet has a single belt wrapped around each thigh. In Devil May Cry 2, Dante's outfit is reminiscent of the one seen in the first game, but with more pronounced and poignant features. In numerous cutscenes, his half of the Perfect Amulet is once again on display, yet it appears infrequently and is not a permanent feature on his character model. Underneath the coat, Dante wears what appears to be a black long-sleeved shirt, with a red vest with black clasps over it. Dante's coat is much basic in design, with an upturned collar and short sleeves with black cuffs, though the coat lacks coattails.
In the original Devil May Cry and the 2007 anime adaptation, Dante wears red pants with two black belts wrapped around his right thigh, a black, leather belt, black gloves, and high, black boots. In his final confrontation with Vergil, his left glove is slashed across the palm by Yamato, and the epilogue shows that Dante keeps it on his desk, perhaps in remembrance of his lost brother. Following Dante's first battle with Vergil, his half of the amulet is stolen and the right sleeve of his coat is damaged, with Dante tearing it off afterward. Contrary to later games, Dante does not wear any form of clothing underneath his coat, going shirtless throughout the whole game, displaying his silver half of the Perfect Amulet around his neck, as well as his bare, well-toned chest and muscular physique. His coat has zippers on the sleeves and a buckle around the waist, and two brown, leather holsters on the back to carry Ebony & Ivory. In Devil May Cry 3, Dante wears long, tan-colored jeans, black fingerless gloves, and military-style boots. In Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 4, and Devil May Cry 5, his hair is somewhat parted with his bangs brushed down in Devil May Cry 3 his hair is brushed down with his bangs partially covering his eyes, and in Devil May Cry 2 his hair is much thicker, with his bangs parted in front of his right eye.ĭante has worn a myriad of clothing throughout his many appearances, yet his most glaring trait is his affinity for red-colored apparel, often in the form of long, two-tailed coats. It's remained in a consistent style throughout the series, although there are a few differences between installments. Įver since Devil May Cry started development as Resident Evil 4, Dante has had white hair. Ironically, despite Cobra being a heavy cigar smoker, Dante himself does not smoke, as Kamiya believed Dante to be cooler without a cigarette. Kamiya believed Cobra's cocky attitude and red attire were key points for a "heroic" character.

In the same interview, another noted influence on Dante both design-wise and character-wise was Cobra of the acclaimed Japanese manga and anime series Space Adventure Cobra. Capcom 3: Fate of Two WorldsĪs stated in an interview with original series creator Hideki Kamiya in the Devil May Cry Graphic Edition artbook, the earliest ideas he had for Dante's design were centered around three key points " long, stylish coat" to make the character "showy", " British man" as Kamiya wanted him to be a "witty, yet traditional fighting man", and " doesn't smoke cigarette", believing that the character was too cool to smoke.
