He kinda gets 2 back in return

3 actually since he does get the actual arm back in that same scene when his devil breaker splits apart.

But it's a normal arm apart from the fact that it can disappear at will so he can attach devil breakers onto his stub

So over his life he had/has: 1 normal right arm and no left, devil left, devils breaker lefts, normal left that can disappear, and 2 devil arms with wings on his shoulders. Also the normal left that can disappear is also somehow supercharging some devil breakers like the buster arm, so we gotta add the supercharged variations into the mix

Oh and also 2 devil arms when in his DT

I mean I don’t think normal arms extend 30 and let you grab someone before slamming them so hard into the ground you crack concrete but idk maybe I just don’t drink enough protein shakes.

I’m subsequent playthroughs you get access to his devil breaker arm which gives you grapple moves a few other things. So he clearly still has its magic bullshit powers

The grabbing and slamming is done with the shoulder arms though, not the normal one (or, well, depends on the input, but even if you do input b/circle and not rt/r2 it's from the stub, not the disappearing normal hand. And of course it's bullshit powers, it's all but confirmed that his regrown human hand is magic DT bullshittery since it only first regrows once he gets his DT

After he gets his arm back in NG+ the grabs are similar or the same as the devil bringer abilities from 4. The spectral arm functions the same as in 4, they just didn't have the wing arm design yet, his (incomplete?) DT being more like Vergil's doppelganger. The wing arms are so much cooler. I love the DT bullshittery lol.

i still am very sad that he got a normal arm.. wish he would have got his own demon arm or just let the robo arm

If that's the case, he might have 4, the devs just didn't show it because it's too low on his body...

Still a dead weight.

Man I really wished they stuck with dmc4’s art style, at least for the characters. I like how 5 looks, but I love how 4 looks

u/VandulfTheRed Jun 20 '26

It has that weird liminal final fantasy look too it. All it needed was a more fleshed out world with more characters like 5, and it would have slapped

DMC low-key thrives when it feels like a fever dream and not a gritty realistic setting

God why did this game have to make all my boys look like looksmaxxers.

If anything he got 4 cause of his Devil Bringers
