Prior to his rebellion, Sparda was the most powerful demon swordsman and the right-hand man for Dark Emperor Mundus. ![]() In Devil May Cry 3 and Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition, the costume is simply a cosmetic change for Dante and no longer carries any gameplay differences. Unlike Dante, Sparda's Devil Trigger form always uses the same devil form no matter the equipped Devil Arm, though his abilities still depend on that Devil Arm. Yamato is added as a starting weapon and while in Sparda's "human" form, Yamato functions identically to Alastor, while in Devil Trigger, Yamato transforms into the Devil Sword Sparda. Dante's Ebony & Ivory are replaced with Sparda's Luce & Ombra. Sparda's shadow takes the shape of his Devil Trigger form at all times, even in his "human" form. During cutscenes this is merely a cosmetic change, but carries some notable gameplay differences. In Devil May Cry, equipping the costume replaces Dante with Sparda. Dante begins with it unlocked in Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition. In Devil May Cry and Devil May Cry 3, a "Legendary Dark Knight" costume is unlocked by clearing Hard mode. During the first stage, Dante is always Sparda in demon form, while in the latter he changes into the form of his father when attacking in Devil Trigger mode. Devil May Cry 5 Gameplayĭante takes on Sparda's demon form in his climactic battle with Mundus on Mallet Island in two phases of his boss battle: the first a rail-shooter segment, and the second an on-foot battle in a lava pit. Devil May Cry 5: Before the NightmareĪs Dante continued on to confront the demonic half of his brother, Urizen, Dante thought about the purposes of the swords Rebellion and Yamato and on the power of revenge, remarking that his father was rather grim. Matier told Dante how his father was better at dealing with ladies, as well as better at making excuses. ![]() Not long before his rebellion, he swore an oath with his students to live true to their aspirations. ![]() Sparda had two apprentices, Baul and Modeus, though he only entrusted his true strength and power to the kind-hearted Modeus as opposed to his colder brother Baul. Sparda understood honor and possessed great wisdom. Sparda's wife, Eva, always described him as being a noble fighter with courage and a righteous heart. Legends speak fondly of his courage, righteousness and his thankless missions to protect the human world at the expense of being labeled as a traitor by all of his kind. In the ruins of his home a family portrait is shown of Sparda with his wife and twin sons, showing him with much longer hair in his human form during the time Dante and Vergil were children.Īlthough not much is known about him on a personal level, it is said that his personality combined both Dante's rebellious nature and Vergil's levelheadedness. He is often shown wreathed in fire, although it is uncertain if he was simply impervious to it or if he summoned it. His most notable feature in his natural form was his slit-like eyes, which glowed red and did not have pupils. He also had gold veins on his hands and arms, chest, shoulders and back, a red diamond eye shaped gem in the center of his forehead, and skull-shaped gold knees and elbow guards with small horns. Parts of his body appeared to be made of greyscales with accents of red and purple. In his true form, Sparda was a slightly-larger-than-human-sized, vaguely insectoid demon with clawed hands, a scaly hide, a pair of downward-facing ram horns, chiropteran wings with beetle-like wings underneath, hooves for feet, and reptilian spines protruding from his back. While riding into battle on horseback, he would wear armor reminiscent of his demon form. ![]() He is shown to have worn a purple Victorian outfit with a white cravat, a large red jewel around his neck, and a monocle over his left eye. In his human form, Sparda was a tall, handsome man with blue eyes, a youthful face, and slicked-back white hair. Nevan to Dante, Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening
