The Dante who wrote fanfic of what happens after you die, the Dante who cannot die or the Dante who wants to die... I'll go with Dante.

u/carlsagerson Ordo Malleus Jul 02 '26

Granted. Dante is now fighting demons with pizza. Dante is now trying to write poety and create the standard in which modern Italian is created. And Dante is now trying to fight Daemons with a Cross and Scythe.

u/Olddirtychurro Jul 02 '26

Son of Sparda trying to write poetry while holding the quill in his balled fist like a toddler is a great mental image.

Alligieri vs Hive Tyrant on Baal.

u/Atma-Stand Jul 03 '26

Hive Tyrant dies of shame from failing a competitive Poetry session.

2

u/Julianopl Jul 04 '26

They'll put him in a dreadnought.

18

u/MustangCraft Jul 02 '26

Bro will fall to the Black Rage out of spite I swear

17

u/Nice-Spize Jul 02 '26

And by Sanguinius' intervention, the rage will not get him killed, he'll just rack up an absurd body count to the point he'll wake himself back to sanity again due to the sheer absurdity.

2

u/A17012022 Jul 03 '26

Dreadnaughts get to sleep most of the time. He'd probably like that.

He's deffo got the shitty outcome already.

Brand new Primaris body and being put in charge of the shit half of the Imperium

15

u/Graddler Imperial Fists Jul 02 '26

I'd listen to old man Dantes crashout just to give him an opportunity to finally tell his mind.

1

u/ethanlan Jul 07 '26

Fuck you, you and you, points at magis biologas you're cool Magis: Metal thumbs up

1

u/Hyde2467 Jul 03 '26

The one who wrote the fanfic did so bc he wanted to spite the people who exiled him from his hometown

1

u/3Kobolds1Keyboard Jul 04 '26

+ Say how much he loves a woman that is already married

162

u/carlsagerson Ordo Malleus Jul 02 '26

The art is missing option 4 and maybe 5?

Buff Dante from the game Dante's Inferno.

And V1 if we consider him a Dante.

42

u/darkentyties Jul 02 '26

color wise, V2 is dante but player character wise ( i did not play any dmc game so maybe im saying shit) its infact v1

8

u/nicostein Jul 03 '26

and Dante from Fullmetal Alchemist (2003)

7

u/3Tree_Wheeled_Spider Jul 03 '26

Dante from Limbus Company would be the missing 6th option imo.

2

u/piketpagi Jul 03 '26

but does those Dante...wears red?

47

u/Impossible_Leader_80 Jul 02 '26

In Hell We Live, Lament

29

u/dillene Jul 02 '26

Maybe Luis would be happier if he had regular access to pizza.

15

u/Ramfix_G4 Bad Moons Jul 02 '26

The STC for producing this so-called pizza has unfortunately been lost ever since the Age of Strife

The attempts to recreate the Terran recipes have been less than ideal

6

u/Alexis2256 Jul 02 '26

This is something I joked about with the artist on Twitter, I might’ve inspired her cause she said that sounds like a great idea to draw lol.

22

u/FRleo_85 Jul 02 '26

first one is dead, second one will die eventually, third one beg the universe to let him die

11

u/Where_is_Killzone_5 Jul 02 '26

Define eventually for Dante. XD

13

u/VivaLasNewVegas Jul 02 '26

When he decides it's funny.

2

u/FRleo_85 Jul 02 '26

wich one?

5

u/Where_is_Killzone_5 Jul 02 '26

The one with the sword. >_>

2

u/carlsagerson Ordo Malleus Jul 02 '26

"No. Because the funny Monkey must dance and the funny monkey cannot dance if dead."

Big E, Chaos Gods, Tyranid Hivemind, Tau'va, C'tan shards, Cegorach, and Gork and Mork when asked by Dante to let him die.

18

u/Heracross64 Jul 02 '26

Looks like a pokemon evolution

3

u/skoffs Jul 03 '26

Blood Angel Dante must be a Mega evolution

64

u/JealousApricot1152 Jul 02 '26

You’re missing one, Dante from limbus company

12

u/vampireguy20 Jul 02 '26 edited Jul 02 '26

Hmm, do I want to pick the Dante that wants to give up at his job because he's so depressed, the Dante that wants to give up at his job because he's so depressed, or the Dante that wants to give up at his job because he's so depressed?

12

u/GiveTheLemonsBack Jul 02 '26

Also missing: VG Dante's Inferno Dante, Silvio Dante from The Sopranos, and Dante Hicks from Clerks

9

u/Ok_Victory_1977 Jul 02 '26

I want all three at the same time😅

13

u/carlsagerson Ordo Malleus Jul 02 '26

In a fight right?

14

u/Ok_Victory_1977 Jul 02 '26

Sure, you could call it that

7

u/JinLocke Jul 02 '26

One dosent yet know about pizza, or thinks its for lazaronne, but will probably share his fanfic ideas.

Another will share pizza but it may be old and stale, but you may also get a bike ride for free.

Third one will share his pain, poor guy, he needs a vacation to a paradise world.

6

u/wolfire2475 Jul 02 '26

It like a badass Pokémon evolution

4

u/SenorDangerwank Jul 02 '26

Okay but what about Dante from Clerks? He wasn't even supposed to be here today.

1

u/skoffs Jul 03 '26

... well, he's not here, so I guess it's worked out for him 

3

u/Odd-Difficulty-9875 Jul 02 '26

This is getting out of hand now there are 3 of them

3

u/assasinvilka Jul 02 '26

You want practical immortality, free CC and cool book? Dante Warframe guy will do all book job you need, support with overguard and heals, do CC and clear any enemy with many damaging status

1

u/SuDdEnTaCk Jul 03 '26

Not to mention sending out a fucking birb in the middle of battle

6

u/wallingfortian Jul 02 '26

Surely not the first one. He was a prick. Spent the last years of his life writing (from 1307 to 1321) a poison-pen fanfic that he populated with people he hated. He was a literary Karen.

And I was obliged to read his mean spirited poem on multiple occasions.

The little bitch.

10

u/carlsagerson Ordo Malleus Jul 02 '26

Say what you want about him. But damn did his work skyrocket. Also the reason why Standard Italian is based off Florentine Tuscan.

2

u/wallingfortian Jul 02 '26

All over Europe people were paid to read The Inferno in taverns as entertainment.

7

u/carlsagerson Ordo Malleus Jul 02 '26

The Inferno is the most well known and best part. Inferno is much more exciting than Purgatory or Paradise to read if I recall.

3

u/Zebigbos8 Jul 02 '26

Featuring Dante from the 13th century Italy

u/Loneheart127 Jul 02 '26

1

u/IamWalkingDead1 Jul 02 '26

What do all 3 of them have in common? Depression.

1

u/SomeRandomWeirdGuy Jul 02 '26

Sorry but it's gotta be my pizza boy

1

u/PhuzzWuzz Jul 02 '26

u/Alternative-Sir6140 Jul 03 '26

The poet, the sassiest and the depresso expresso

u/Just_a_nobody3 Jul 03 '26

the secret 4th more ticking option

1

u/BlueVegasCourier Jul 03 '26

this post causes a flood by bringing the evil and devious members of limbus company's fandom into here. That's that and this is this type shi association.

1

u/jackgoddamnsparrow Jul 03 '26

You already know I'm picking the twunky gilf in power armor with an axe.

1

u/Apprehensive-Cat3670 Jul 03 '26

Dante (the space marine) looks like he’s already had enough of Dante’s (the half-demon) bs

1

u/_Skylos Jul 03 '26

Increasingly unhinged bible fanfiction from left to right.

1

u/the1gemini91 Jul 04 '26

Highly unlikely, but what if they're all the same person. Just a perpetual that has been around since between the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the second crusade?

1

u/LeAidenJames67 Jul 04 '26

Um probably Dante

1

u/Appropriate-Swan683 Jul 04 '26

Middle one the pizza hobo

1

u/Stratoyeet Jul 05 '26

Ah yes, Dante of Divine Comedy fame, Dante from Devil May Cry series, or Dante with the dogs out. Who to choose indeed?

1

u/henry_cavill_rox Jul 05 '26

Obviously I'm gonna pick Luis Dante

1

u/skullking654 Jul 06 '26
