There's no doubt he tries to make a few passes at her, but it's nonchalant. She's just some girl who wants him to meet her boss-- at least, that's how it turned out. Over time, she began to help him through Limbo, to give him directions and assist him as best she can. That over exposure gave them time to open up, they shared stories and began to connect. Their bond was strong, and he began to see something more in the world around him.. the start of a new perspective of the world. That maybe he wasn't just an outcast, and that there was someone who understood him. He grew on her as she did on him, he began to trust her as she did him, because let's face it, their relationship is a lot of ''Trust me, you won't die if you do this''. And the response is, ''Well, shit, okay''. Kat is the one to expose the humanity beneath Dante's vulgar and sardonic personality through exposing herself, and what we see is something you might not expect.
One who was ready to expose himself to gain Dante's trust, and willing to open his eyes and expose much more than that, was Vergil. Vergil was the one who helped Dante find his 'family', to reveal the knowledge behind the seven missing years of life he's lost. As his brother, new found or not, he was the one who assisted in shaping Dante's motive and goal before joining him. Because it is only something that the both of them can do as nephilim. And when his memories are restored, trust slowly begins to build and reliance upon one another. Their trust seems to shine when infiltrating a building-- Dante utilizing his brute strength and let's get in there and kick some ass style, and Vergil hacking into the system security to make that said style trouble free. They team up, they work together, despite being on two different spectrum's of the scale. While he certainly isn't direct with his affection, rather, he teases with comments to show he cares. It's because it's the only real way he's comfortable with communicating things like that and the only way he knows. And when he speaks with Vergil, it's brotherly bickering, banters, jokes, and it's like he finally got back the brother he used to play with when he was a kid, something he didn't exactly know he missed. But over time Vergil's behavior changed by small fractions, something that he didn't really catch onto quick enough.
Vergil is a defining point in Dante's life, on the same level as Kat. While Kat is the one to preserve and let Dante's humanity flourish, Vergil is the one who dares to encourage that he lose it.
By the time they defeat Mundus, while the world is on the brink of chaos, Vergil reveals his intentions: that he and Dante should rule over the humans, their subjects, and treat them especially better than Mundus. Dante refuses, positively refuses, after showing his surprise and shock-- because, you have to be joking. It might as well've felt like a joke at first with the way Vergil said it, but when he clarified that no he was not joking, Dante became enraged. Enraged at the fact that after all he preached about taking vengeance on their family, taking the Demon King down and freeing humanity, that he shackle them up again. Enraged at the fact Phineas was right, and that this might all happen again. But Dante didn't stand for it, and fought against his only blood brother for the sake of keeping humans safe. After battling with him, and near killing him, he nearly loses what little humanity he has gained but stops, sparing him. Not because he was his brother, but because Kat urged him to.
And he took a stance to protect them, against his brother. Because humans are worth protecting unlike demons.
His hate for them often manifests itself in different ways (because why in the hell should he trust them?), but more obviously when we meet Phineas, the Prophet whom Dante helped retrieve his eye. As a favor. Mind you. Nothing more, nothing less. But that demon was wise, and urged the boy to take a new perspective on demons and even more, brought light to the dilemma with taking down Mundus, the Demon King. He even gives him a clue into use against that man as vengeance-- Lilith, the woman who carries his child. Dante utilizes this information later on when Kat is shown to them alive and well, save for the session of torture she went through, and that the only way they can get her back is through trading her for Dante... Vergil went ahead and said they don't need her and do you really expect us to trade you for her, while Dante offered the solution of trading Lilith for Kat. He's clever, and willing to use whatever it may take to get her back. To those he considers important, he's willing to go through hell and back for (or Limbo in this case).
Dante is naturally brazen, literally doing whatever the hell he wants whenever he wants. That includes speaking like a sailor and waking up whenever he wants to, eating whatever he wants to, and hopping into Limbo when he has to. He'll flip you the bird when he thinks you damn well deserve it, and he'll smile about it to. He'll call you an asshole when he wants to-- He's honest and straight to the point, not wanting to deal with any real messes at all if he can. He's fueled by his emotions, raw, and less of what would make sense to do in a situation. And he, honest to god, doesn't care what others think about him, or what he thinks about others. Truth be told he lives life like it ain't got nothing on him, because why bother worrying about something as small as that when he's got bigger fish to fry?
He's good at following orders, but when it comes to making his own, well it honestly depends on what he feels like doing-- whether he wants to waltz in and attract attention, or walk in and wait for someone to notice him. He values his strength more so than his intelligence, and while he's not stupid, he doesn't necessarily excel in smarts. At least book smarts, he's more street savvy if anything. He can certainly keep a poker face, especially when the moment most depends on it. He can pull through with just about anything, finding himself capable of anything he thinks he can do or feels like. And second to his strength comes his looks, showing that he's a bit of a narcissist (he knows he's good looking, okay)-- even his own brand of humor is even a bit charming when you look at it the right way.
It's also known that he has an impeccable talent for pissing people off, finding ways to dig into their skin or make his biting remark extra toxic. Even provoking demons, especially when they talk shit about his mother-- And because of this, some people may think he's eager to start a tussle or two. The answer is: why not? Despite being the one man wolf pack he is, he can communicate just fine with the outside world. His voice is as clear as day, expressing what he needs and making sure his complaints don't go unheard. He likes making jokes, getting some joy or mild satisfaction out of making cracks at the situation. Whether he's by himself or with company (demon or not), it's a habit he can't really destroy and one he necessarily doesn't want to. He certainly doesn't mince his words even if he's fighting, resorting to name calling even if he can't be understood. His rage knows no bounds, and language barriers won't exactly stop him from expressing said rage.
In a life that may be too short for him to truly live, why not make it a little easier on himself and just live it up now instead of waiting for later?
With that much of a philosophy, Dante the demon killer is here to kick some ass.
