This article is about the weapon from the reboot. You may be looking for classic Dante's signature sword.

Artwork for the new Rebellion

Rebellion is Dante's main melee weapon in the DmC: Devil May Cry. It was given to Dante as a memento of his father, Sparda, so that he could protect himself from the demonic hoards that he battles. It also has the ability to shift into different weapons on the fly, allowing Dante to use multiple weapons.

Rebellion only appears while Dante is in Limbo, linked to the glowing insignia on his back, which also flashes whenever the sword changes to another weapon.

Description

Comic excerpt rebellion

Rebellion is a bluish silver-colored claymore. The blade is long and double-edged, with the forward-facing edge curving outward to form the guard. When it is used to attack, it leaves a white streak behind in its wake.

Dante receives the Rebellion while he was being tortured by demons in Hellfire Prison; hearing his father's voice reach out to him and gift him with the weapon in order to defend himself. DmC: Devil May Cry: The Chronicles of Vergil

Gameplay

Rebellion is Dante's main melee weapon, and therefore is balanced in both speed and power. With it, Dante is able to launch enemies into the air, send out shockwaves along the ground, and he swings it in a wide enough arc that he can usually catch more than one enemy in each attack.

When using Rebellion's Drive skill, it's possible to release the attack key just as Drive reaches its full charge to unleash a more powerful, orange-colored shockwave.

Movesets

As a human-class weapon, using Rebellion is done simply pressing the corresponding face buttons for different attacks.

Background

Rebellion's ability to change forms borrows inspiration from the Sword of Sparda.[citation needed]

Although Ninja Theory did not invent the Rebellion, which is a holdover from the classic series, they drew upon its symbolism as part of their larger concept. Just as the sword is named "Rebellion", the idea of rebellion against modern consumerism and oppression is the guiding ethos of Dante and the heart of the game, which focuses on "the need to rebel as a means to achieve freedom."[1][2]

Rebellion in its current form covers all these issues in modern day society. But more than that, we wanted to consider a different kind of evil in DmC, one that didn’t rely on the typical horned devil."
