Aliases & name spellings

• Virgil (outro hashtag, ep 0147); heard “Virgin!” in the story (ep 0147 00:37:40, 00:38:01) and “Vergil” ×6 (ep 0148; see names).
• “his twin brother” (ep 0146 00:19:12; ep 0147 00:38:01).

Overview

Dante’s twin and elder brother, the second of Lucif’s royal demonic guards (ep 0147 00:37:33–00:38:08). In Ultra Trunks’s timeline he stood beside Lucif with Dante when Lucif merged the realms (ep 0146 00:19:00–00:19:21). He and Dante fought Vegeta, Ultra Trunks and Goku, taking a final “devil” form (ep 0150 00:32:39–00:36:11), and were beaten by Arch Angel Goku and Vegeta (ep 0155 00:12:13–00:17:55). The two then dissolved into Gohan to make him Sparda’s vessel (ep 0158 00:23:12–00:25:13), and were destroyed when Sparda used them as shields against Goku’s smite (ep 0167 00:06:43–00:07:09).

Affiliations & relationships

• Dante: his younger twin brother (ep 0147 00:37:33).
• Lucif: his lord (ep 0147 00:38:02–00:38:08).
• Zeno (inferred): one of the “two new demonic royal guards” Dai made under Lucif’s control, who murdered Zeno (ep 0151 00:03:51–00:04:15); in ep 0102 two horned demon warriors in red and black armour crushed Zeno’s head. The story never names the two outright, but the guard who kills King Vegeta is called “The royal demon god [guard] of Lucif… The Omni King killer”, in the black armour splashed with Zeno’s blood (ep 0137 00:15:51–00:16:04) — the title Dante bears (ep 0144 00:01:23) and that both twins share (ep 0147 00:37:33–00:38:08).
• Vegeta: his chief opponent; Virgil drops and explodes King Vegeta’s corpse over him (ep 0148 00:36:55–00:40:10).
• Sparda: merged with him and Dante inside Gohan; Sparda sacrifices them (ep 0159 00:33:10–00:33:14; ep 0167 00:06:43–00:07:09).

Abilities / traits

• Arrives in a wave of orange fire “from the pits of hell” (ep 0147 00:36:58–00:37:14).
• Black portals in the sky big enough to drop a body through (ep 0148 00:36:55–00:37:46); makes a corpse explode with a click of his fingers (ep 0148 00:39:09–00:39:25).
• Skeletal-like face (ep 0148 00:37:21).
• Without his mask: white hair, a humanoid face (ep 0150 00:08:24–00:08:44); at 100% his face turns demonic, his aura black and red (ep 0150 00:10:12–00:11:10).
• A shell of black tentacles from a portal, with a hundred eyes, a mouth and cutting vines (ep 0150 00:14:35–00:17:29).
• Final form (ep 0150): wings, a changed face, heavier armour than Kazuya’s; “two devils, not demons” (ep 0150 00:32:39–00:36:11).
• Two black portals that act like black holes, pulling an opponent apart (ep 0154 00:17:55–00:18:41).

Variants

• None shown. Mentioned only: Ultra Trunks’s timeline’s Virgil — Trunks says that when Lucif merged the realms in his timeline, Dante “was there, along with his twin brother” (ep 0146 00:19:00–00:19:21); nothing else is said of him, and he is never shown. With one shown version, Virgil has no hub.

Status

• Destroyed by Goku’s smite-laced Kamehameha, used by Sparda as a shield (Sparda, ep 0167 00:06:43–00:07:09).
• Before that: alive but missing an arm and half his body (ep 0154 00:28:29–00:28:42); merged into Gohan with Dante (ep 0158 00:24:28–00:25:13).

History

• ep 0146 00:19:00–00:19:21: mentioned by Ultra Trunks.
• ep 0147 00:36:44–00:38:08: rises from orange fire holding up the beaten Dante: “Do not worry, younger brother… I have arrived”.
• ep 0148: lets Ultra Trunks and Goku past; tells Vegeta that Lucif rates him highly; drops King Vegeta’s corpse through a portal and makes it explode over him (00:26:02–00:40:10).
• ep 0150: half his mask shattered by Vegeta; goes to 100% — a demonic face, a black-red aura; a hundred-eyed tentacle shell; cuts off Vegeta’s arms; caught by the severed hands’ explosion; transforms with Dante into a final “devil” form and senses the great merger of realms (00:01:34–00:37:07).
• ep 0151: in his final form grabs Ultra Trunks by the face and slams him down, unconscious (00:34:25–00:35:17).

• ep 0155: beaten by Arch Angel Goku; Vegeta’s Big Bang Attack sends him crashing onto the icy planet (00:12:13–00:17:55).
• ep 0157: dismembered, held by Dante; says the Saiyans grow stronger the longer they fight and Lucif would kill them anyway (00:33:02–00:34:02).
• ep 0158: calls Gohan a gift from Lord Lucif (00:06:01–00:06:12); with Dante dissolves into black sludge that envelops Gohan (00:23:12–00:25:13).
• ep 0159: a face on Sparda’s left pectoral (00:33:10–00:33:14).
• ep 0167: Sparda says he traded Dante’s and Virgil’s lives as shields against Goku’s smite (00:06:43–00:07:09).

Open questions

• How strong is he compared with Dante? Never compared directly.
• Was he one of the two guards who murdered Zeno (ep 0102; ep 0151 00:03:51–00:04:15), and was it he or Dante who killed King Vegeta and Tien (ep 0137)? He carries King Vegeta’s corpse later (ep 0148 00:36:55–00:40:10), but neither is ever said. See guard-hunt.
