Dante gets all of his powers, abilities and equipment from Devil May Cry 4, minus Yamato. Each of the Power Ranger teams get all of their equipment from the end of their respective seasons; however, they cannot call on their Zords.


The battles are as follows:

Dante versus the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (original lineup - Jason the Red Ranger, Zack the Black Ranger, Billy the Blue Ranger, Kimberly the Pink Ranger, Trini the Yellow Ranger, and Tommy the Green Ranger).

Dante versus the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (second lineup - Rocky the Red Ranger, Adam the Black Ranger, Billy the Blue Ranger, Kimberly the Pink Ranger, Aiesha (?) the Yellow Ranger, and Tommy the White Ranger).

Dante versus the Mighty Morphin' Alien Rangers

Dante versus the Zeo Power Rangers

Dante versus the Turbo Power Rangers

Dante versus Power Rangers In Space

Dante versus the Lost Galaxy Power Rangers

Dante versus the Lightspeed Rescue Power Rangers

Dante versus the Time Force Power Rangers

Dante versus the Wild Force Power Rangers

Dante versus the Ninja Storm Power Rangers

Dante versus the Dino Thunder Power Rangers

Dante versus the SPD Power Rangers

Dante versus the Mystic Force Power Rangers

Dante versus the Operation Overdrive Power Rangers

Dante versus the RPM Power Rangers

Dante versus the Samurai Power Rangers


And, for fun:

Dante versus the Forever Red Power Rangers (Every original Red Ranger up until Wild Force)

Dante versus the Veteran Rangers from "Once a Ranger" (Adam Park the Black Ranger, Bridge Carson the Red Ranger, Tori the Blue Ranger, Kira the Yellow Ranger, and Xander Bly, the Green Ranger.

Edit: Just to be clear, Dante isn't facing all these guys at once; each of the battles are self-contained.

Dante Destroys All, no Contest.
He's taken on demons larger and far more powerful than any megazord, has extremely fast healing powers, can take the worlds most rigorous beatings and barely even flinch.
After all is said and done, He'll invite the pink ranger over for a large pizza, no olives and two strawberry sundaes. why? Because even though the Power Rangers are (In my opinion) Dumb, Ultimately, they are good as well, and after a beating, most likely, they'de team up for the greater good, dante seeing the power ranger's bad guys as demons.
The end.

I was going to say the Power Rangers universe, but then you said it's a bunch of self-contained battles separated by series. So, in that case, Dante.

yeah, that's pretty accurate about what I was thinking this would be, and my answer.

Now now, be nice here. Only reason why I'm going to be able to go in depth is thanks to an old history and wikipedia.

Dante Vs Original MMPR team:
Dante probably flirts with Kimberly and Trini for a while, however after some time he'll fight though probably leave those two alone. However Jason and Tommy would be able to deal some serious blows, as well as Zach's Hip Hop Akido really throwing the experienced fighter's timing off. At the same time, the blasters that the rangers have have unlimited ammo too it appears, so the guns that Dante has are a bit canceled out by that. The way I see it is that they ultimately manage to wear Dante to a stand still and combine their weapons to ultimately beat him, though just barely.

Dante vs Second MMPR Team:
Dante Flirts with Kat, only this time succeeds and wins her over while beating the rest, no matter what weapons they throw at him, even with Adam and Tommy fighting at max. Billy might be able to hold his own, but the others are going to hold them back.

Dante vs Zeo:
Ok now Zeo would win. Regardless of team's rookie of one, the rest are seasoned pros, while also given more power to fight at a higher level. And it's been stated that the Zeo crystal grows in power as the team progresses.

Dante vs Turbo:
I'll agree it's about the team, so I'm going to assume it's the later. Yeah Dante's gonna win. They aren't as seasoned, or talented. So they'll get beat. But Dante will hold back against Justin.

Dante vs In Space:
Now they'll know how to fight, and with Andross who's gone around the universe fighting, they'll have it. At the same time they have a power up from the Silver Ranger.

Dante vs Lost Galaxy:
Dante. It's all about their swords, and they weren't that talented or powerful from what I recall.

Dante vs Lightspeed Rescue:
Carter Greyson is a badass. He alone can fight toe to toe with Dante. And because of this Lightspeed will win with three battleizers and the Titanium Ranger coming in to fight.

Dante vs Time Force:
Due to the future biology and the power of the Red Fire Armor and Quantium Ranger fighting along with them they can take care of Dante.

Dante vs Wild Force:
While gifted and talented, I hate to say it's Dante. Even with their skill and powers, none of them, even with the Armor battlizer for Cole isn't going to be enough.

Dante vs Ninja Storm:
The ninjas. They got it. Too much speed and too much skills to take them out.

Dante vs Dino-Thunder:
Tommy is the only one that puts up a fight. Because of this, Dante takes it and just messes with Tommy and takes out all of the Rangers without breaking a sweat, even with their Dino Powers and Connor's Battlizer.

For the rest of these I have no clue. So I'll speak from what I have seen

Dante vs SPD:
Dante. Just more serious.

Dante vs Mystic Force:
Dante, dealt with magic users before

Dante vs Overdrive:
Dante. The kids didn't even hold their own when they teamed up, so a seasoned pro like Dante is a cakewalk.

Date vs RPM:
Maybe RPM if they can actually overpower him.

Dante vs Jungle Fury:
Dante cuts and shoots his way through.

Dante vs Samurai:
Ok I've seen this. Gold can speed blitz while the others use their symbol power to finish him off.

Dante vs Forever Red:
Forever Red. They DO overpower him.

Dante vs Veterans:
Sorry but no, I don't care what people say, they aren't at full because of the lack of training from stopping the ranger, even if they were, Adam and Ninja blue can fight, but Dante can take him.

Dante vs Megazords:
Some Megazords can take him, but most of them lose.

umm.....do you know ANYTHING ABOUT DANTE!? He'd Destroy them all, without even trying! His healing powers are also in play here, not to mention the Power Rangers don't have them, plus their weapons are all beam based, meaning intry and exit wound from the body, instant heal. As for the megazords though? Yeah, I do agree, they would put up one helluva fight...hell, Id'e actually like to see that....but point is, Dante is an unstoppable Super Powered Console Hero, while the Power rangers may be strong in their own continuity, you cross the two, and dante destroys them....or teams up with them, 6-1 it's all speculation.

Actually... Power Rangers weapons aren't just beam based. Most of their more powerful attacks result in massive explosions which completely incinerate their enemies. Their armors are also generally completely bulletproof, and a lot of them have extra powers as well, such as the Dino Thunder and Mystic Force Rangers.

upon research, you are correct about the explosives and the like, and the armor being bullet proof. But their regular suits are not, and with guns and weapons like Dante's, they'de be wrecked. I still believe one thing: They would not fight.
The power rangers enemies are more or less demonic, they always have been, so wouldn't dante just see that they are a force of good, avoid having to fight them in general, and just help them destroy their enemies?

Yes as a matter of fact I do know, and I also know that he isn't indestructible. At the same time what are the Power Rangers lacking in your first statement? Cause I'm severely lost there. And hold on, did you say...beam based? What do you call the Power Sword, Power Ax, Power Daggers, and Power Lance that are...WEAPONS!? And do you even pay attention? The lazers they use are actually explosive. Yes I said it. Explosive. At the same time, the scales of power are not 100% exact.

I used the Anime to make it slightly more even for my basis of the comparison. However I'll admit that Dante's got a major edge, as explained in my comparisons.

Dante isn't bulletproof, but shooting him in the head only pisses him off. His regeneration and threshold of pain make Wolverine look like a joke. The only times being run through with a weapon had any effect, two of them belonged to Sparda (And were very special devil arms) and the third was Alastor. (Also a very special devil arms) Other weapons will only cause him to pause for a moment, as at the beginning of DMC3, where being run through by multiple Prides didn't even slow him down, and he even kept fighting using the blades lodged in his arms and legs. He's also shown surviving a punch that embedded him in a stone floor. He's been shown deflecting bullets by shooting at them with his own handguns. (Heavily customized Colt 1911s, if you're curious) He's also beaten monsters that the Rangers would normally require the use of a Megazord to defeat.

And that's without using Devil Trigger.

So no, no one team of Rangers could possibly take him down. One of the two-series team-ups, maybe, all the teams together, most definitely. But not one team at a time.

Dante vs Power rangers (Up to zeo) win. Here is the episode. Billy has a fear of bats, Rita makes a bat monster and it attacks angel grove. Dante, thinking it is a demon destroys it. Rangers arive and dante thinks its monster backup. Epic fight and the rangers are auto teleported to comand center, Zordon gives them angelic weapons (That look identical to there old weapons) Bulk and skull hunt down Dante, Dante ignores them but then rita sends out Giant bat monster. Bulk and skull Do a Abbot and Castelo thing Dante kills monster, Rangers team up with Dante, now Dante is forced to work for Saban... Winner Saban and Rangers. Loser Dante.

More-or-less the same scenario happened to Kamen Rider. Except not long after Saban left that alone.

lol, I call those "Melee Weapons" Wich, in my experience with dante, unless they are devil Arms, don't do jack Sh!t. As for Explosvie Beam weapons? Well...Maybe a temporary burn wound or dislocation, but it would instantly heal.
Now, What I want to know is how he'd fend off something like this, and don't say easily either. I mean, three combined zords is tough for anyone I'm guessing....

I'm fairly certain that decapitation would kill Dante; total incineration certainly would. Being run through isn't all that impressive when it comes to healing factors. Wolverine's been nuked twice.

I'd also like to point out that there's no way Dante will be using Devil Trigger on the Power Rangers.

Jacoiros wrote:I'm fairly certain that decapitation would kill Dante;

I really doubt it. He's been shown being able to heal fast enough that his body parts can't actually be cut off, and he doesn't even show wounds. For instance, when he tried to grab Vergil, but instead ended up grabbing the business end of Yamato, his hand actually healed around the blade. The same happened near the end, Vergil swiped his sword across Dante's hand, but the only damage was to Dante's glove. When he was pinned to the ground by Alastor, he had to pull himself up, and though there was a lot of blood spraying when Alastor's crossguard passed through him, there was no wound afterwords.

Jacoiros wrote:total incineration certainly would.

And you base this off of what, exactly?

Jacoiros wrote:I'd also like to point out that there's no way Dante will be using Devil Trigger on the Power Rangers.

This as well.

And as for Dante being hurt by explosions, here you go. Exploded right in his hands and he didn't even flinch.

I'm pretty much known as the biggest Devil May Cry fan on here, so just let me say the following:

Proof? Neither of these show that Dante couldn't get a limb cut off.

1) When he punched Yamato, the blade moved up along his arm, giving it more time to heal, even it if was just a couple more seconds. Plus if Vergil actually swung to cut off a limb, his swing would have been much faster.
2) Vergil cut his palm, creating a small scratch on his hand that caused Dante to draw back slightly.

When he was pinned to the ground by Alastor, he had to pull himself up, and though there was a lot of blood spraying when Alastor's crossguard passed through him, there was no wound afterwords.

Impalement is not the same as having a limb severed.

And is showing no wound really the basis of your argument? You realized, with the exception of the glove at the end of DMC3, his cloths never get damaged either. Can he heal his cloths too?

And you base this off of what, exactly?

The fact that he hasn't shown that strong of a healing factor... ever.

This as well.

Well, in 99% of the cutscenes and the the anime (which is canon, set between Devil May Cry 1 and 4) he never uses it. If he didn't use it against the Savior, or even Vergil, why would he use it against the Rangers?

And as for Dante being hurt by explosions, here you go. Exploded right in his hands and he didn't even flinch.

Doesn't mean a bigger explosion couldn't damage him. Just saying.

Now, allow me to add this final tidbit of information. Dante's healing factor, while impressive, gets weaker with fatigue (Vergil was holding his side after Dante cut him, clearly in pain if nothing else, which indicates that his powers were weakening. Vergil also lost to Mundus to being too worn out from the battle with Dante).

1. The wound healed instantly. It didn't have more time to heal, it was gone the moment the blade wasn't there.
2. Watch it again. The blade went right through his hand. (You can see the white swinging effect on the opposite side of his hand)

No, but it does involve having internal organs sliced-and-diced pretty badly.

Source Grimlock wrote:And is showing no wound really the basis of your argument? You realized, with the exception of the glove at the end of DMC3, his cloths never get damaged either. Can he heal his cloths too?

Considering infinite ammo is stated to be one of his powers, it seems like a pretty safe bet minor clothing repair is also in his skill set. (Considering he goes out of his way to show the bullet holes left in his coat to Lady, which are gone shortly after, this isn't unreasonable)

Also, the sleeve of his coat was damaged after that arm-wrestle with Yamato, and he tore it off shortly after. So the glove isn't the only case of clothing damage.

Source Grimlock wrote:

Except for all of the times he's shrugged off being stabbed, shot, impaled, electrocuted, blown up, ignited, burned, eviscerated, and embedded in things, only to get up and not only act like it never happened, but to look like it never happened.

Because he didn't need to? I dunno. Why don't the Rangers open with the Megazord?

Probably, but the Rangers don't have explosive weapons that can deal with a moving target.

While this is true, it still required a helluva lot to bring them down that far. Prolonged fighting while being cut up by devil arms belonging to Sparda and whatnot.

Dante wouldn't heal from one of the Rangers' team moves because those generally result in complete disintegration of their target. You're saying Dante can heal from a pile of dust?

Also, having internal damage isn't the same as having a limb lopped off. Dante can regenerate from being run through because his body is still in one piece. Dante can't grow new limbs because that part of his body is gone. For it to regenerate, he'd have to pick it up and reattach it. It's the same with Wolverine, Deadpool, etc. I'm still convinced decapitation would result in instant death for Dante.

Also, the Rangers won't be using Megazords in these battles because it's prohibited to use Megazords against smaller opponents for some reason.

And really, Dante doesn't kill humans, so I repeat: there's no way he'll be utilizing Devil Trigger against the Power Rangers.

Okay, so in this case, rangers die a horrible bloody death due to no megazords, and as for those beam weapons, well, who's to say they aren't dodgable or deflectable? Even if they hit AND explode, Dante's Body wouldn't rip apart or suffer anything outside typical Shellshock, because he's not FULLY human. FURTHERMORE If a blade runs through one of his limbs, it wont fall off or seperate, everything just reatatches so fast it's like swinging a blade at smoke, absolutely NOTHING would happen to the untrained eye, like fighting a ghost. EVEN FURTHER MORE I don't know If your even Factoring in Dante's Super Hybrid-Human Strength or Speed here. Dante will FOREVER Win. Now that it's NO megazords? well, he'll win even HARDER!

Jacoiros wrote:Dante wouldn't heal from one of the Rangers' team moves because those generally result in complete disintegration of their target. You're saying Dante can heal from a pile of dust?

No, but those team moves require the target to stand still. Dante doesn't do that.

He's never shown the need to. I linked it to you already; Vergil swiped his sword across Dante's hand, but his hand stayed on. And since when have the Power Rangers' weapons ever been able to cut anything anyway? They hit enemies with swords and knives but they don't actually cut anything.

Jacoiros wrote:And really, Dante doesn't kill humans, so I repeat: there's no way he'll be utilizing Devil Trigger against the Power Rangers.

He shot and killed Arius in 2, and Agnus and Sanctus in 4.

What you showed was Vergil cutting the palm of his hand, not trying to cut his hand off or in half.

Arius and Sanctus were human at one point, but were either becoming or had become demons. Also, Nero is the one who killed Sanctus - the bullet didn't actually kill him, proving that he was in fact not human.

My god, this argument could go on for days...oh wait, it already has! Why not just stop THIS argument, and move on to ANOTHER Fantasy Battle? There are plenty of new ones.....

Then why did the blade's signature swiping effect appear on the opposite sided of his hand? This is Yamato we're talking about here, it doesn't actually have to hit its target to cut it.

Arius was a human who had gained magical powers, and unlike, say, Arkham, he had done so while staying human. Sanctus was killed by Dante very early on in DMC4, but was later resurrected through Ascension; he was human at the time, and anytime you see him after that, he's Ascended. (Which is not the same as demonic, mind you)

Oh yes, of course. Clearly Vergil cut far enough to attempt to cut Dante's hand in half while at the same time only cutting part of the palm of the the glove.

Do you know what a demon is in Devil May Cry? They are humans who allow their soul to rot for power, making them become demons. Arius and Sanctus both fall under this category. Beside, even if you are right and they still fit into humans, they were evil and trying to destroy the world as we know it. Him killing them has no baring on this fight in any way shape or form.

Source Grimlock wrote:Do you know what a demon is in Devil May Cry? They are humans who allow their soul to rot for power, making them become demons.

No...well, yes, that's actually a possible method, but not the only one. It's something of a recurring theme that demons are not strictly evil, (Sparda, Trish, Dante, etc.) nor are humans strictly good. (Arkham, Arius, etc.) So a demon born from a rotting soul can only work by contradicting everything they've ever said regarded demonic morality. On the flip side, it's never explicitly stated how a traditional demon comes to be, though Mundus was born in the Demon World, and was not human to begin with.

Sanctus was evil, yes, but not strictly a demon. He, along with the rest of the Order of the Sword, were Ascended, basically human-demon hybrids, artificial versions of Dante and Vergil. And even then, that doesn't make one evil, since once Credo realized what was really going on, he decided to start fighting for the good guys.

Yes, of course, no one is denying that. But it also disproves Dante's "no killing humans" rule, which he only ever stated once, in the anime of all places.

Well then it shouldn't have been brought up. It's not my fault people don't check their facts.
