Here's part 1 of a 2 part series of summary of this game.
Shoutout to Max0r.
Also,great job on the breakdown,loved it.
@@skepabbas9400 Nah just a weeb obsessed with lions lmao.
th-cam.com/video/90C1MIasLgg/w-d-xo.html this is what u want to watch - Interview with Casey Edwards made by Alex Moukala (music producer that was so hyped that he did interview! :D ) ;) probably most questions answered :D
Dude great reaction you have to play the games or watch the LPs cuz the song is literally Vergil's life. Also yes I know about Night Wish I am happily surprised someone else appreciate them too. "End of all Hope" is my fav,, it's what got me into them. What's yours?
Edit:
One more thing check out Devils Never Cry from DMC 3 I promise you won't be disappointed.
"Vergil hires Vergil's brother and Vergil's son to kill Vergil so that Vergil could become Vergil. (feat. Vergil)"
- Max0r
Not even kidding when say this is LITERALLY the plot of DMC5. It's hilarious and I'm all for it.
Bro whaaaaaaaaat!? Lmao sounds insane
@@AmariLeone yeah, what you said is 100% exactly what happens in the game.
Context people! Context!
Vergil is a Half Demon Half Human that is dying in DMC5 in order to maintain himself alive he divided his two sides.
When his human side came to his senses he realized how much of an asshole he was so he named himself V as a codename and then hired Dante (Vergil's Brother) and after that Nero (Vergil's Son) because they are demon hunters, and told them to defest His own Demon Side which he himself called him Urizen.
After Urizen is defeated V fused again with Urizen, and Vergil got revived with full power because Urizen got a shitton of power and vitality while they were separated
Or on the opposite end:
Dante's brother hires Dante and Dante's nephew to kill Dante's brother so Dante's brother could become himself (feat. Dante's brother)
With special edition exploring vergil and vergil’s brother correcting vergil’s mistakes while exploring vergil’s past
Vergil/10
Game designers sometimes employ a technique in video game osts where the soundtrack reacts to the player in certain ways. At its simplest it can be the music being muffled when you go underwater at its extremes (like here) the song is written with the intention to ramp up when the game does. It's not static either the programmers have to make it so the song transitions to the appropriate section of the song on beat, with no jarring cut offs and all based on the player's performance.
I love this so much! Makes the piece come alive
@@AmariLeone here's the breakdown of how the ranking affects the song, depending on how you are styling on the enemies the song changes
th-cam.com/video/nLnzGgMkds4/w-d-xo.html
@@AmariLeone it really does, especially when you're pulling off sick combos with vergil and hearing the music ramp up only heightens the experience
zelda wind waker is my fav example where when you hit an enemy the hit sound is a note from the fight music
@@ItsJustTom godzilla had a stroke trying to read this and died
According to Casey, the composer, the last section of the song was a personal vendetta for him. Vergil as a character means a lot to him personally, so he felt like he had to portray the character the best way he could in that finale. His sadness, loneliness, trauma, desperation for power, all of that is laid bare in that section.
Why "vendetta"?
@@CreepyHandedMan Obsession would have been a better description. Casey was so deeply invested in the character and knew this might be Vergil's last time "on stage", so he NEEDED a theme to hit his character home so hard that he'd become memorable.
I'd say it was a blasting success.
@@Jukantos I think Casey, in his inversion of Vergil made one of greatest OSTs in Gaming EVER, in my opinion.
@@Drago_012 Yup. It's hard to encapsulate a character wishing to discard his remaining humanity in musical form, and yet Casey absolutely delivered on it.
I heard that part and was like "Damn there's a lot of negative emotions here." I even made a little drawing based on the desperation and energy I could feel being admitted from this one part alone
This has to be one of the best songs I have EVER heard, my friend recommended it to me about a month ago and I'm still listening to this multiple times a day, for me it never gets boring even with the length of this song, it is it's strength, from beginning to end all sections individually sound so good that it doesn’t get boring. Now I’ve been looking at a few other “reactors” and came across this you might enjoy this th-cam.com/video/5NU8vH39BoU/w-d-xo.html it's a short interview with Casey Edwards about this song and how it all came to be, that being said I love this reaction keep it up
Yeah I have a hard time seeing how this could ever be boring even over time. Also oh nice I'm defintely going to watch that video
I was the same way when the song first came out, was a huge fan of the series before hand and an even bigger fan after
10:42 The in-game theme isn’t 9 minutes, how it works is that the song will start when you get into a fight and it will start playing different parts of the song based on your current style ranking of D to SSS. For example, having an S style rank will play the “I am the storm that is approaching” or “Forsakened, I am awakened” part. They did that also with the other 3 battle themes
Wow that's actually super dope, so not based on the current battle but based on everything that came before?
@@AmariLeone I think it's just based on a certain battle and the calmer parts of the song plays depending on your style rank d is the calmest and non impactful part whereas s plays the best and most impactful moments of the music
Edit: playing as Vergil plays the song in all battles even small ones
So depending on how stylish you're doing in the fights the song changes dynamically. You're doing really good and completely destroying everything stylishly? You're Style rank increases and the music changes to the most hype parts.
You're doing bad, getting hit, running away, not attacking or repeating attacks? That's not stylish so your style rank goes lower and the music dynamically changes to the not so hype parts of the song.
It's a incentive/reward for fighting with style. You do cool stuff so the song adapts.
@@AmariLeone its based on how you do during the current battle. here's bury the light, but segmented into the parts that the game plays while you have a certain rank, it just loops that part of the song until you hit the next rank, then it plays a small transition and starts the next segment.
th-cam.com/video/az3qwXf4Z-I/w-d-xo.html
Also, if you're good enough with Vergil, you can pull off shit like this
th-cam.com/video/GEZON93hV-s/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=SunhiLegend
@@AmariLeone The official song is like a special treat and fuller, like getting into the feelings and emotions, mostly for the character but can be experienced for yourself which Devil May Cry is about family, emotion and humanity, it's not just about edge, slaying evil and horrific demons.
Great video, love seeing people react to this masterpiece of a theme. To answer some of your questions (in chronological order as I'm watching the video):
Special Edition is simply a version of the game that came out after the main game did for the PS5 and XBSX. It was the first to feature Vergil, the character whom this theme belongs to. However, Vergil (and obviously his theme) can also be bought for the main game, so you don't need the SE to experience them.
Bury the Light is a battle theme, which means it plays in combat arenas where you fight basic enemies (or at least most of them, as there are a few that play ambiance music instead). It is Vergil's theme by default, but you can use it on any character you want.
The version of the song used in the game is shorter than this one, but it doesn't work as you may think it does. Devil May Cry has a mechanic we call "Style Meter". It's basically a ranking system that starts from D and goes all the way to SSS and increases or decreases based on your actions during a combat encounter. If you do varied combos in quick succession, it increases. If you get hit, spam or are too slow, it decreases. The way the music fits in is that depending on your current rank, different parts of the song play. From D-B, the verses and everything else in between are what you hear. On A rank, you get drums and synths starting to build up and finally once you hit S rank and above, the chorus drops. This is how all 4 main battle themes of DMC5 work. And "Special Edition", like I mentioned above, is simply a version of the game that the song was introduced in. It has nothing to do with the song itself.
Vergil wasn't in the anime so it's no surprise you don't remember him. He's Dante's twin brother and is indeed the antagonist of both DMC3 and DMC5. As for the line "I am the storm that is approaching", it's a nod to DMC3 where another character says that phrase word for word.
Victor is indeed the singer and the reason Casey picked him as the vocalist was because he wanted someone who could perform all these different styles you're talking about.
In the "Beyond the Tree" section there are indeed the deeper vocals in the background. As for what they're saying, it's the exact same lines from the previous section. So when you hear "Beyond the Tree", what's sung in the background is "Lurking in the shadows under veil of night". Good ear by the way.
Fun fact: The last part of the song before the outro (the "Bury the light deep within" one) uses the same melody as another song that Casey wrote which is called "Devil Trigger". DT is Nero's battle them and Nero is Vergil's son. So this was Casey's way of "connecting" the themes of the son and the father.
This was so informative thank you so much!
I love this song so much and I always hear that the DT melody part is used but I feel like my ears just can’t pick it up, what instrument or like sound plays the DT melody? My ears wanna pick it up but I haven’t been able to ;-;
@@XNotsoSacredx The entire last part of the song is the DT melody but with a different arrangement. If you want to hear it clearly, look up "Bury the Light x Devil Trigger", where someone simply overlaid the vocals. If you don't want to do that, just start singing "Embrace the darkness that's within me" when "Bury the light deep within" is sung or during the fully instrumental portion of the same part.
And to answer your question, it's an electric guitar.
@@AmariLeone It should be noted that in the finale another version of this song plays that is very similar to one you listend to, but the beginning starts with 'Bury the Light Deep within!' Then goes into the main song if you play Vergil's story mode anyways...though in the main story, it is an alternate to Devil Trigger called Silver bullet which starts with a nice violin section which suits Vergil very well.
@@zffrailgun1630 OH WOW I HEAR IT, I guess I never picked up on the cadence because of how high Victor is singing but I totally hear that melody now holy shit!!! Thanks for clarifying xD
Casey Edwards is male musical artist who is a huge fan of Devil May Cry and Vergil was his favorite character in the franchise, so he wrote The Bury The Light and did most of the music as well. Also Capcom told him not to use guitars including electric guitars while he was making this theme, but he still nailed Bury The Light, and this theme rocks!!! 🤘🎶
Also this theme is talks about Vergil and how much suffering he went through throughout the franchise if you played the games.
Yes. The credited vocal and composer artist is all Casey Edwards
“Is he a good guy or a bad guy?”
“Yes”.
😂
You know what you need to do next, you seen it, “Devil Trigger” is a complete contrast to “Bury the light” and I highly recommend you check that musical piece out next! Can’t wait to see your reaction to that!
Quick synopsis of the song.
1) special edition means its the special edition of the game which allowed you to play as Vergil
2) Vergil is Dante's brother and more or less an anti hero than a villain similar to a Vegeta from DBZ.
Finally yes everytime Virgil fights this song plays but it's a modified version and depends on how long each fight takes.
11:12 YES. This is basically the catharsis for the character, this is the V game so it has a lot of meaning to him and to us
Nice reaction! I was just looking for more reactions lol. Also found it funny that the keyboard in the back is the exact same one I’ve owned since I was a kid.
I have also owned that keyboard since I was a child (hence the drawings on it lol), in fact it was my first keyboard.
*S* ora the
*S* apphire
*S* tar
lol
this song has so many meanings that this explains a single verse, it really does define the character Vergil in one badass song.
Special edition is for the actual game it’s basically a expansion pack and sold as a whole game with Vergil added as a playable character and some story pieces for him
The way these songs are modified in game is that there is a ranking system from D-SSS rank, the unique thing is that the rank will only go up the cooler your ingame combos (series of attack is) and the song that play here correlate to the ranking. For example "i am the storm" starts at S rank or "bury the light deepwithin" which happens at SSS rank (the highest rank in the game). Basically the more that you are owning you're enemies the more cooler the music is if that makes any sense
The more I listen to this song, the more impressed I am just by the mixing. It's so hard to get so many different things to sound so good and so clear. I don't know how else to describe it.
I've listened to the song many times, I came here for the output of someone in this musical field and that's precisely what I got. No worries about the pauses man, keep up the good stuff!
First time I’m seeing a video of yours, but got to respect a Breaking Benjamin enjoyer. 😎
I’d completely forgotten about this song until a few days ago, and it’s been on repeat ever since.
Had to come back after watching all the way through just to say: Nice video. I enjoyed the energy and commentary you brought with your reaction, that you were able to add to such an awesome song. 👍
They're awesome right!
I think in a lot of ways this is Virgil's "I am" song if you think about it from a disney movie sense. It encapsulates vigils character. He's the main antagonist-ish, and he IS the storm that is approaching as far as the story is concerned. A lot of this is about virgil and his relationship with dante and their mother. In the later half of the song where its the ominous chanting about the tree burning and such I've heard it described as almost a ritualistic chanting to summon or herald virgils approach within the song and the game. The next part afterwards is virgils "arrival".
for the love of god plz, it's vErgil not Virgil
@@egrassa1480 The more I saw the name, it made me doubt myself and the fact that it's vErgil lol
this song always gives me goosebumps
Respect to a fellow Breaking "Benjerman" enjoyer! :3
Into The Nothing as been my personal power ballad for many years now, that song saved my life man!
This song is like Vergil's Story it fits hims perfectly as a character
I have played Devil May Cry since the launch on PS2.
And I watch every person's reaction to this song.
And I will continue to do both of those things.
Also, great Breaking Benjamin comparison and thanks for reminding me about Nightwish.
11:15 The music in-game has a variable combat system so depending on how well you're doing in the game fighting enemies, the music will tone itself down or ramp up based on your performance.
The special edition of Devil May Cry games has become a tradition since the 3rd game, where the game is re-released with new content, and in that content is playable Vergil (Who normally is a boss) Yes, this is the song that plays when you enter a battle as Vergil. Also the game has dynamic music that keeps getting more hype the better you do in the game, so the "I AM THE STORM" part plays when you are doing good.
Vergil is the final boss and also the latest playable character in dmc5 special edition its called special edition because of the addition of some playable character
Ahhh so it's kinda like a DLC?
@@AmariLeone in a way, it's also a remaster for the game for newer gen consoles
Yes it he also playable in normal dmc 5. And him as dlc playable character for $5.
And i got it on sale on playstation dmcv+vergil for $9.99 so it is a steal for me😁
He's also the first boss a main protagonist and a recurring rival
Thought I was the only one hearing that 3rd voice track glad you called that out 👌
Nah you got golden ears my man!
@@AmariLeone lmaooo I was watching his face during that part of the song, I wanted to see if he'd pick it too
Special edition due to being rereleased a year later with bonus stuff in the game, including vergil and his theme song. you can come to me for all the quesitons hehehe, but tldr is this is a ballad of vergils life
Ahhhh that's dope
Yep, and the song is tagged under the Special Edition because it didn't exist in the original release of the game; it was created *for* the SE as Vergil's theme you battle to while playing as him.
I just found your channel through this man, I love seeing your reactions so far and it's awesome, love the analysis of my favorite song of all time. Keep up the good work man, I'm loving it.
Special Edition relates to Vergil being a playable character. He is the DLC to regular DMC5 and is automatically included into SE. This? This plays literally *every time* Vergil is in combat aside from boss fights, and it dynamically adapts to how much you're styling on the enemy. And yes, he's *technically* a villain, so his song being dark makes sense. Though it's a contrast since his intentions are dark but his combat style is very bright and flashy, with elements of pure light - Yamato leaves light traces to extend slashes, Beowulf is literally gauntlets of a light demon, and Mirage Edge is a hard light/demonic power sword
Yeah this is a great break down of how the instruments play along. The special edition is the DLC or 'gold' version of the game where you get Vergil as a playable character after you beat the game.
It unlocks his own song for his battle tracks, so the initial build is made for when demons are spawning into the arena, and depending on how well you play, not getting hit and chaining combos, it builds up a letter grade. The higher the grade, the more the song ramps up, which is why there's a couple sudden transitions for the tempo. To be cut and put together cleanly for that purpose.
Hitting the second highest rank during a fight hits the chorus in full volume. There's also a special remixed version for his final boss, fighting his brother which makes the entire thing flow a bit more cleaner.
The song explains his entire story through the game from his own mind set. So it's very self written.
This is not a song...
This is?...
Motivation...
The special edition is the version of the game ! This DLC , added this character on the screen to the playable characters ... He had a dark and sad past and also had some really good and bad defeats and rises ... This song is based on this characters life actually ... He is in pain , he rises , he defeats so bad ( listen at the almost end , the vocalist just speaks so tired and you can feel the pain ) , he rises again and thats it ! And also this music just plays whenever you are fighting as this character ... When battle starts , music kicks in !
if you like the metal/edm mix i have to recommend BFG Division by Mick Gordon. or pretty much a lot of his Doom arrangement like Rip and Tear, The Only One They Fear Is You, Meathook, etc. All these are also adaptive bgm based on the gameplay
This is the actual “single” version. I bought it myself thru iTunes. This basically describes Vergil’s lived experience and it’s effects on his motivation and personality. He’s the polar opposite of the lighter hearted , more human twin, Dante. Virgil and Dante’s life paths were separated by the events that caused the death of their mother at a very young age, and they developed differently as a result. Virgil pursues power because he wants to claim his throne in the demon world that was once his father’s. Dante doesn’t think that’s a good idea, so they always clash. And Virgil has a son, Nero, that he meets and fights during the game. This song, imo, is supposed to reflect his passion beneath his stringent self control.
I’ve been bumping this on repeat for a couple weeks now, it’s a piece of art!
This song literally got me into DMC. I only just started watching someone play DMC 1, 2, 3 (currently watching 4) and planning on getting DMC 5 myself.
Ésta si es una reacción de verdad! gracias!
So the thing about Devil May Cry's music is that the Boss fights have their own music that plays. Any other time the character's boss (theme) music plays as you slaughter ranks of demonic cannon fodder. It's dynamic music that changes as your fighting becomes more Stylish and your progress from D to SSS. Rank S is when the chorus kicks in and stays as long as you have above S rank.
This song is Vergil’s character
Literally the the title “bury the light” has meaning to vergils character along with every other vocal this song is vergil speaking basically every line applies to vergil
In fact the song even has vergils character arc in it
*heavy spoilers*
Vergil and Dante (main character in anime) are twin brothers. Long story short:
Family gets attacked by demons for plot reasons, (human) mother is able to protect Dante but not Vergil (she dies before she reaches him) so he awakens demon half (demon father) and seeks power to protect himself as he thought mother abandoned him. the demons basically torture him trying to kill him as his demon half makes it so he's hard to kill so heavy trauma. His main line is "I need more power".
They fight. A lot. This is more or less his redemption arc (or rather, a therapy session with fists, swords, and guns + oh sh** I have a son that literally punches some sense into the brothers) which is probably why you get these cool major sections from the vocals, but still a bad ass character who keeps his edge and one of the coolest and most iconic antagonist. Probably get a lot of complaints for the short version but think this gives enough context for the song. Apologies if someone beat me to the explanation. So, yeah. try listening to vocals with that context should give you an extra layer.
Airbuster theme ff7 remake if you want another long EPIC, EPIC headbanger game ost to react to. Just for a generic boss fight, but not a generic track.
its called special edition because this song along with vergil get added in a dlc for DMC5
Im so glad u find out this insane masterpiece, as u Said is rlly incredible
10:59 In the game, this theme plays only if Virgil is the boss against whom you fight for Dante or Nero, the question is: why should such a track go 9 minutes? Because Virgil is unpredictable for the first time, you don’t know his attacks and how he will behave, so the first meeting is really delayed and as I found out in this song the whole story of Virgil is retold
Motivated
Victor is the vocals Casey Edwards is a male who made the lyrics
Im quite surprised that theres some people that hasent listen to this song contains power wich can make you motivated if you listen to it
I had a friend ask me to listen to this song. I was definitely suspicious at first. But after listening to it in the gym, holy hell I got a 2nd round of preworkout. Song is so damn hard and one of the most complicated and well composed songs I’ve ever heard. Trying to combine all those things and make it work is CRAZY
Vergil is a playable character in this game. This song plays during every enemy encounter. The game employs a stylish ranking system, starting at rank D, then C, B, A, S, SS, and finally, SSS. At rank D the song employs very few sounds and no vocals, but as you increase your stylish ranking, more sounds will be included, and if you get your Stylish ranking up to S, the song plays in its entirety, including the vocals. So basically, the better you fight, the better the song, encouraging you to get that ranking up.
Im no DMC lore expert here but let me explain what I think I know without any major spoilers for DMCV. Vergil is the twin brother of Dante and they are both the sons of a legendary demon named Sparda who sealed off the Hell from the human world and their mom was a human. When they were young their house burned down and when their mother went to look for Vergil she died in the fire. Dante grew up to be a formidable demon hunter, and Vergil just as powerful but he blamed himself for his mother's death because he wasnt strong enough to save her. For this reason he resented his human side and considers it weak. So he searches for power, always trying to become stronger by any means necessary and I think at this point of the story he's sort of forgotten why. This struggle of human versus demon within his heart, the memory of all that he loved and wanted to protect. Vergil had to Bury the Light in search of power and in his mind theres no turning back, theres no coming home.
I could be wrong on parts of this but its what i got after playing DMCV and looking into the rest of the series. This song is steeped in symbolism and its because Casey's favorite character IS Vergil so he really wanted to do him justice and by the gods did he do it.
If you liked this one try Devil Trigger by the same guy. Its Nero's battle theme from the same game.
Oohhh you dropping vids more often... me likey.
I'm trying to ramp it up lol. Thanks for checking out ALL my content & not just one specific artist
Us Devil May Cry fans thought we would never see a sequel to our much loved and original series, DMC, especially after a bad reboot tried to take its place. Not only did OG DMC return triumphantly, it brought us so much love and passion for each of its iconic characters, including this track - one of the best songs I've personally listened to. Despite all the dark lyrics, it's basically a love note as well.
Don't know if you have already, but you should totally react to devil trigger. From the same game and same artist
I have not but I'll add it to the list
Apparently when this was made Capcom told Casey he couldn't use guitars for vergils theme
I heard that it was that he couldn't use guitars for any other part than the chorus, and that's why the synth is used in a way that sounds similar to a guitar in every other part of the song.
God shattering star is another song that’s on this level and would make you that hype. Highly recommend it lol
12:25 To be fair, Vergil wasn't in the anime, so people wouldn't know him unless they got into the games or surrounding material. I haven't seen the anime myself, but I've seen that Dante fights a guy that's supposed to be reminiscent of Vergil, but that's it. My impression is that the anime is supposed to be a slice of life during the time Dante was at his peak brooding state, after the events of the third and first games (in that order), when Vergil wasn't around. Otherwise, the whole DMC world is a very different vibe when he's lightened up enough to be a comedic memelord.
Dude great reaction you have to play the games or watch the LPs cuz the song is literally Vergil's life. Also yes I know about Night Wish I am happily surprised someone else appreciate them too. "End of all Hope" is my fav,, it's what got me into them. What's yours?
Edit:
One more thing check out Devils Never Cry from DMC 3 I promise you won't be disappointed.
Devils Never Cry uses a layered voice effect with demonic and clear, human vocals like the one in this.
"I'm gonna have to play this game now, god dammit" -Every person who listens to Bury the Light
Love the reaction
i love it when music producer amazed by this really well made song
you might want to react to FF14 shadowbringer theme song btw
The “Special Edition” refers to the game, not the song.
Bury The Light plays when you fight as Vergil, and it’s a dynamic song, similar to MGR where certain parts cut out. When your combo rating changes, the game seamlessly plays a different part of the song depending on the combo rating. Starting out, it’s just the vocals of the final chorus. Then when your combo changes, it adds instruments and changes to a different part of the song.
"Show me your motivation"
Vergil is a character that was added as playable in the special edition of the game, this plays when he is fighting. The song is dinamic in the game so, different parts will play, the tempo, the speed, all of that will change depending on how you are playing to match the feel of the game
Fun Fact, Bury The Light at the end has a similiar tone from Nero's battle them called "Devil Trigger" if someone didn't know
It was my first time coming to this channel, and I'm really enjoy watching your video, BIG LOVE
Yeah the vocalist is victor borba
He killed it!
N1 reaction man, continue your goals.
Ingame the song ramps up as you perform better in battle, I really recommend checking out "Dynamic Bury The Light" for an easy grasp of that. If you liked this you should DEFINATELY check out Casey's other DMC5 song: Devil Trigger. Would love to see you check it out.
The vocalist is victor ❤️
@Amari Leone if you're curious for more information about Bury the light, Alex Moukala did an interview with Casey about his inspiration and difficulties when recording. something you might enjoy
This song never fails to inpress, and then some ppl still think game music is always bad, they need to wake up.
Those are people who've never heard game music lol
And yet pretty much everyone knows BTL, they wont escape it lol
If you’re still wondering about the meaning of the song, here’s a brief background. Devil May Cry’s main character is Dante who is a half demon who hates other demons and owns a business where people hire him to fight demons. He has a twin brother named Vergil who embraces his demonic side and tries through various means to become more powerful. This song is Vergil’s combat music, and it shows how he tries to suppress the human within him while becoming more demonic.
this song has so many meanings that this explains a single verse, it really does define the character Vergil in one badass song.
@@QuazarNovaPrime Yes there to the song then just what I said. I just wanted to be brief though
Virgil was a boss in previous Devil May Cry games but in DMC5 special edition he was a playable character. This is the music that plays when you're playing him and fighting and the music dynamically changes based off how well you're doing. It's fucking lit
In every games he appear in (expect dmc1) he can be played with dlc or later release
Probably already answered, but still:
Vergil is the main antagonist in Devil May Cry 5. Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition is the re-release of the game with extra content. Vergil being a playable character is some of that extra content. The playable characters in DMC5 have their own battle themes. This song is Vergils battle theme. And these battle themes are dynamic. DMC is a character action game, where you perform combos and high damage attacks. And the better you are, the higher style ranks you achieve during the fight. With each higher style rank the song opens up new layers. So the beginning of this song is what you hear during the first style rank. That remains the same until you progress. When you open up a new style rank for example the singing kicks in. With another style rank other lyrics of the song kick in, which are faster and harder. At the highest style rank you unlock the full song and feel like the ultimate badass.
Devil's never cry is from Devil May Cry 3 and you should listen to it cuz it's FIREEE
Special Edition: Re-release of the original game with additional content, namely Vergil as a playable character and Turbo Mode, a modification for the game that ups the speed of everything by 20% I believe to make gameplay look cooler. DMC3 did it. DMC4 did it YEARS after the original game's release, adding Vergil, Lady, and Trish to the cast. And now DMC5 did a Special Edition.
When this plays: It's Vergil's Battle Theme. Every time you get into a fight that doesn't have its own theme (bosses or minibosses) while playing as Vergil, this plays. I should also note that all the character Battle Themes are dynamic. That is, the song goes through phases based on what's happening in gameplay (your Style rating to be more specific). This is the full, uncut 9 minute version of the song, but the version in game sounds notably different because of all the cutting on top of a new section that isn't in this version (that plays when you get to an "A" Style rating). There's also a few edits of the song that play in-game such as the one that played in the Release Trailer for the game that's also used in the final boss fight of Vergil's campaign.
who else come here just by going through all the reaction videos of bury the light
A thing to note with Bury the Light, this song pretty much hints and points out shit related to the character with this song, Vergil.
He's hurt on the inside due to his past and came originally to the thought of "Might controls everything, without it, how can you protect others... Muchless yourself?" And he held this mentally until the end of DMC 1 (Timeline wise) when he's banished to the demon realm by his own brother. That broke him free mentally from his possession he was under and he knew what had to be done to save himself from dying, he separated himself from his humanity and created, using the Yamato (his sword), his two truths, the demon Urizen and the Human V. V then learned and realized Vergil fucked up and wanted to fix this, that his insatiable urge for more power has led him to slaughter countless humans to lead to him (Urizen) getting more power. Near the climax Urizen and V reform Vergil as you see him, gaining only the best qualities of both entities while removing any issues (The familiars V uses which symbolize his trauma in the past) to lead to him becoming his peak, as the game calls him "Vergil: The Alpha and Omega".
This song shows His power, his pain and his prideful show of everything he does as unlike most DMC characters, he ONLY is playable in special editions, and it's a power trip as you do it since, to sum it up, he just fucks.
ok to answer your questions Casey Edwards is a guy and Victor Borba is the vocalist
also in dmc5 special edition you get to play as Vergil and that song plays every time you encounter an enemy and there are specific parts of the song that play depending on your style rank ALSO Yes Vergil is a bad guy and yes he is Dante’s brother… and Nero’s father…. oh yeah and you should play devil may cry the entire series except for dmc and devil may cry 2
ah yes there are two genders: the guy and the vocalist
@@taktika4764 😂
Finally !!!! bury the light
18:00 it's the exact same section repeated in the background haha
The special edition gives you vergil as a playable character and of course he has this song and a few extra cutscenes
great reaction really enjoyed. +1 sub
Appreciate it
I feel like somebody needs to edit that guitar solo at the end over Eddie's epic guitar moment from Stranger Things s.4
The special edition thing is a longstanding tradition, where Vergil is always in a seperate 'Special Edition' of the game
There is another name to this song, which is "Escaping Child Support"
Which I'm proudly flaunting too.
💙take care of that song its Legendary by now legendary artist^__^ you will fall victim to its grace💙
Spoilers:
Vergil is a character who has been suffering since he was about 8. He, Dante, and their mother were attacked by demons sent by Mundus. The demon who the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda (Dante and Vergil's dad) had sealed away 2000+ years ago. Vergil was outside alone when he was attacked, alone and scared he called out for someone to help him. However, sadly, no one came. He was left to think that he was abandoned by his brother and mother. Desperate to live, he summoned the Yamato* and destroyed every single demon he layed his eyes on. Thinking that the only way for him to survive from this point onwards was to obtain as much power as he could.
Vergil then spent around the next 9-10 years of his life wandering the world to locate the power Sparda had left behind. Eventually, he arrived at the city of Fortuna, a city that Sparda had defended once long ago. The island city is run by the cult the Order of The Sword who worshiped Sparda as a god. Vergil didn't learn that much about the whereabouts of his father's sealed power, but he did sleep with a woman there and got here pregnant with his son Nero.
After leaving Fortuna, he eventually met a man named Arkham who claimed to have knowledge of where Sparda's power was sealed. They allied with each other to resurrect the demon gateway Temen-Ni-Gru. One of the pieces needed to open the portal to hell was the amulets Vergil and Dante were given for their 8th birthday's*. This led them to eventually cross paths. However, since Dante had sworn to eliminate all demons and Vergil was looking to open a portal to hell in order to gain more power, they ended up fighting. Vergil beat Dante easily and took his amulet only to give it back, claiming that he could get it back anytime he wanted.
A year later, Vergil asks Arkham to visit Dante in order to request that Dante come meet him. Temen-Ni-Gru then rises from the earth, and at the top, Vergil waits for Dante. When Dante does reach the top, they clash again. During their fight, Vergil asks Dante why he doesn't seek out power, Dante says it's because he doesn't like him.* Vergil wins this fight as well, claiming the amulet and turns to leave but not before stabbing Dante with the Rebellion. That awakened Dante's dormant demonic powers and unlocked his Devil Trigger form. Vergil is persuaded by Arkham to leave Dante behind so that they can finally open the gateway to hell.
On their way through the tower, Vergil asks Arkham why he's keeping Lady (the girl Dante meets multiple times throughout his journey up the tower) alive. Arkham isn't able to respond before Vergil stabs him, claiming that his "pesky fatherly love"* is keeping in the way of him becoming a true devil. Vergil leaves Arkham to die from his wounds and makes his way into the main chamber.
He performs the ritual only to find it to not work. Then Dante arrives and challenges Vergil to another fight. The brothers clash again, and this time, Vergil doesn't sweep the floor with Dante. Lady then arrives and attacks the two brothers, and it is revealed that Arkham survived his stabbing. Arkham completes the ritual, then sends Vergil, Dante, and Lady flying of the platform.
Later on, when Dante is fighting Arkham. Vergil shows up to reclaim his power. He and Dante then team up to fight Arkham and beat him easily. They even use their childhood phrase "Jackpot" when they finish Arkham off. The amulets and Force Edge* then fall deeper into the underworld. Vergil and Dante fight AGAIN this time over their amulets as both are needed to obtain Force Edge's dormant power. This time, Dante beats him. Vergil not willing to accept defeat, grabs his amulet, and jumps off the edge. Falling deeper into the underworld, refusing Dante's help.
After reaching the lower ends of the underworld, he finds Mundus. He attempts to fight him but is easily defeated. He is then tortured and corrupted by Mundus, turning him into Nelo Angelo.
Vergil was in this state of subservience for the next 10 years of his life. Until Dante comes to Mallet Island to kill Mundus. During the events of the first DMC game, you fight Vergil/Nelo Angelo three times. Nelo Angelo wins the first fight. However, when he goes to finish Dante off, he sees his amulet, which awakens his dormant memories as he begins to wrestle with Mundus over control of his body. The next time they meet, Vergil takes off his helmet, hoping that Dante will recognize him. Sadly, he doesn't, and Vergil loses once more and dissappear in a flurry of blue flames dropping his amulet. Only then does Dante realize that it's his brother.
Vergil would eventually free himself from the demon world and Mundus's influence. He then set out to reclaim Yamato and finally beat Dante. Yamato, at this point, has been absorbed into Nero's Devil Bringer arm. So Vergil eventually reaches Nero's house where he and his friend Nico are working on repairing a truck so that Nero can expand his devil hunting business. After Nico leaves, Vergil enters the garage, and Nero's Devil Bringer, which reacts to members of the same bloodline, starts glowing. Vergil then rips off Nero's arm and changes it into Yamato. He then opens a portal and teleports away. Vergil then uses the Yamato to separate his human half from his demon half, believing his humanity was the source of his weakness.
I'm gonna skim over most of DMC 5's plot, but in a nutshell.
Vergil's human half V and his three familiars, which are manifestations of Vergil's trauma as Nelo Angelo. Hire Dante and Nero to defeat the demon half of Vergil (Urizen) so that V and Urizen can reunite to become Vergil once more.
Throughout DMC 5 and the Vision's of V Manga. V learns about the value of compassion and learns that it's okay to ask for help, and it's okay to trust people. When V was unable to defeat a strong demon and Nero helped him beat it and saved his life. V opened up to Nero about his insecurities and regrets. Nero was V's savior, and Nero was willing to help V reach Urizen because it was the right thing to do, not because he had to. V grew to become a better person, Urizen, however, didn't. Urizen still believed that humanity was weak and demonic powers would solve all his problems. So he was incapable of understanding why and how he lost to Dante again.
So when V did the final blow to Urizen and reached Vergil's inner conciseness. We see that Vergil is just a scared, traumatized child who threw his humanity away because he believed that it would cause him to die. V, however, argued that Vergil abandoning his humanity made him weaker.
When Vergil is reborn at the climax of the game, he's not the same person that he was when he split himself. The growth V got he kept. Dante doesn't know that, so he attacks Vergil. Dante, though, is pretty worn out from fighting Urizen. Vergil doesn't believe that besting Dante while he's this worn out isn't good enough for him. So he tells Dante to get stronger and uses the Yamato to teleport away but not before thanking Nero for helping him. Vergil stands a top of the Qilphoth* ,reflecting on his decision, wondering if he made the right choice.
Dante and Vergil ended up fighting AGAIN (what is this like the 6th time??👁👄👁). This fight will settle their dispute and prove which one of them were right. Nero objected to their conflict, pointing out how stupid their reasons for fighting each other was. Vergil is now faced with the one opponent he didn't want to fight, so he tries and fails to get Nero to stand down.
After beating them, both Nero manages to convince them to put their rivalry aside to save the world.
Vergil now has a family and is able to move on from his origins. Though no matter how hard Nero tries, he'll never be able to break Dante and Vergil's rivalry.
Notes:
Yamato's purpose is to separate man from demon. It also has the ability to cut through space.
The two amulets that Dante and Vergil were given are the two split halves of the Perfect Amulet.
Lady is Arkham's daughter. Also, the reason Vergil even agreed to team up with Arkham in the first place is because Arkham sacrificed his wife for demonic power.
The ritual Sparda performed to seal off the demon world required his own blood, the Perfect Amulet, the blood of a mortal priestess and his own power was sealed away to destroy the link between the human and demon worlds. Lady is a desendant of that mortal priestess and was the thing Vergil was missing to complete the ritual since he was unaware of it.
Force Edge without the two amulets has no demonic power accessible to the user.
Yamato had fused with Nero's Devil Bringer during DMC 4 after he had a vision of Vergil asking him what his dying soul was looking for. Nero had just been impaled and was desperate to save Kyrie, his girlfriend from danger.
If you made it all the way down here, I just want to thank you for reading, and have a good day. :)
Song is heavily inspired by BFG Division by Mick Gordon and Mick Gordon apparently gave Casey Edwards one of his first jobs
It says Special Edition because in DMC5, you play as Nero, Dante and V. In the Special Edition you play as Vergil through every level again with only cutscenes at the beginning and the end of the game unlike the original story
This is Vergil's song that plays whenever a battle happens ingame, Vergil is in the base game the final boss, but in the special edition of DMC V you can play throu the game as Vergil, this is his song
This is great final boss music
i agree, but the final boss music is a modified version of Devil Trigger (one of the protagonist's battle song)
good thoughts. don't apologize for pausing and commenting, that's the point of the video. if I wanna listen to the song uninterrupted, I'd just do that.
if you have the time look up the lore to this game. it will help give context to this song. this game series started off as a resident evil game but soon became something much more.
Know any song's that are like this because I'm really addicted to this song
Ok also you’ve heard vergils definitive theme now you need to listen to devils never cry Dante’s definitive theme cuz that is another banger
Hello! idk if you have heard of payday 2 "break the rules", but if you haven't I greatly recommend it! It gives the same empowerment vibes as this song and I would love to see your reaction!
Don't bother with anyone who gets mad at you pausing. That's the point of a reaction. If they want uninterrupted music they should go to the original song.
Liked and subbed!!!
I hadn't realized there was a Devil may cry anime and though you meant Devilman: crybaby which I thought was funny but there really is an anime about devil may cry :)
Action is okay but not as great as it could've been.
There is also dmc manga
What makes it the special edition is actually the fact that vergil wasn't playable until it's release. He didn't had this banger as his theme either.
And it kinda plays the 9 minutes while you normally fight, with the exception of bosses, because some of them also have really good themes. The music changes and adapts to how well are you playing the game, but at the end, the music plays, fully as you fight the final boss.
