Revision as of 02:11, 16 December 2010
The Hell Gates are monolithic stones which serve as portals between the Human World and the Demon World. They are one of the primary methods of transportation between the worlds, alongside the Temen-ni-gru and direct summoning.
Many types of Hell Gates were featured through the games and anime, although Fortuna's Hell Gate is considered to be the only true one, and possibly the biggest.
Devil May Cry 4
The true Hell Gate and its three lesser copies feature prominently in Devil May Cry 4. A long time ago the true Hell Gate was sealed by The Dark Knight Sparda, who used Yamato as a key to the seal[1]. Recently the Order of The Sword sought Yamato to open the Hell Gates, which was a vital part of their plan. They have found it, but, although it was in their hands, they couldn't use it as the blade was broken.
To forward their plans, Agnus, the Order's Chief Alchemist, creates three lesser Hell Gates, copies of the real ones[2]. He used the Devil Arms Lucifer, Gilgamesh and Pandora to power the Gates. The three lesser gates, located in the outskirts of the island, allowed Berial, Echidna and her children, as well as Bael, Dagon, and their kin into Fortuna island.
Nero closes the gates as he chases Dante, but doesn't actually destroy them. Later, in the event when Nero used Devil Trigger first time in his life, Yamato was restored and taken by him. However, later Sanctus tricks Nero and captures him, taking Yamato in the process. He gives it to Agnus, who opens the Hell Gates, causing total chaos in the city.
As Dante returns to Fortuna to battle The Savior, he kills the escaped demons and uses the Devil Arms they relinquish to destroy the Gates. After Dante returns to the true Hell Gate, he battles Agnus and retrieves the Yamato, which he uses to destroy the final gate.
Other
In Devil May Cry: The Animated Series, in episode "Once Upon A Time" a portal much resembling Fortuna's Hell Gate can be seen. Still, there are some differences: this portal is more like a real gate, its half-doors have to be removed in order to go through. Also, in Devil May Cry and Devil May Cry 2 some other types of stable interdimensional rifts can be seen, although it isn't known if they can be classified as hell gates. In Devil May Cry 3, the Temen-ni-gru is a passage to the Demon World.
