An analysis of the interaction of Dante and Lady in the anime 2007.
A platonic relationship is one that is based on emotional closeness, shared values, and interests, but does not involve physical intimacy. Since the question of platonic relationships in anime 2007 has arisen, let's try to understand it.I am not an artist, but an ordinary viewer. And I claim that the 2007 anime provides enough clues about the true nature of Dante and Lady's relationship.If platonic love excludes physical attraction, let's take a closer look, as they say, the devil is in the details. Here, the meaning is double-Dante is the devil, even if only half.
The first shot is of her entering the office, and the camera focuses on her legs, looking up at her from below. This emphasizes the length and slenderness of her legs, and the camera slowly moves up to her chest and face. There are many ways to show a woman entering a room, but this is a particularly effective way to highlight her figure and curves.
It's quite clear, and many attentive viewers have pointed out this moment before me. The focus is on the sword's transfer, a special act of trust (similar to how Lady handed over her sword, Kallina, to Dante in the Divine Library). She holds the massive blade close to her, and although she is initially surprised, she accepts it with a smile. The camera once again emphasizes how Dante's sword is almost as tall as she is, but she holds it close to her heart. There's no point in focusing on this frame if it doesn't emphasize the trust Dante places in Lady and how she values his relationship. How many of his friends are allowed to touch Rebellion?
We all understand that she is the master of the situation in this scene. Both Dante and Vincent are susceptible to her manipulations, and Dante is a little jealous, as evidenced by his sarcastic tone and harsh glances at Lady. She is well aware of his feelings and does not cross the line, as Vincent eventually agrees to her terms😏
And again, the Devil May Cry office. Focusing on the chest- again. Dante knows where to look.Their way of making fun of each other is her accusing him of having a flat sense of humor, and he doesn't deny it; instead, he agrees with her. Dante's rare image is completely relaxed and smiling. Yes, his smile isn't 32 teeth, but hey, we can't expect too much from him; he's still recovering from Mallet Island.
By the way, how can you depict a woman entering a door- no attention to her legs or bust- just a random customer🤷🏻♀️
Lady came to discuss a case-there was a dangerous demoness in the city, she is skillful, agile, her style of combat is similar to Dante's. At the same time, she first sits on the table in front of him, turning her face. He calmly takes out the wine and sips it, the camera all this time glides over the figure of Lady, stops on her face-she closes her eyes and smiles. Half-darkness, silence, pouring wine into a glass and a beautiful woman in front of you-you can draw your own conclusions based on your worldview. Personally, I see a screaming hint of intimacy. Then she stands up and slaps her butt- let's be honest, girls who have male friends- do we sit on the table in front of them or slap our asses? It's too much for a woman to do in front of a man. And he doesn't take his eyes off her as she moves to the gun stand. Finally, she talks about Trish. She could have talked about the case while sitting on the couch or standing in front of his desk.
This episode has been discussed many times-Lady gave herself away-it's like a phrase from an old movie, when a girl says to a guy she's been in love with for a long time: "I ran all the way across town to tell you how indifferent I am to you". Lady, dear, no one says he's important to you. You're the one who says it. I have to give Dante credit, he endures this tirade with stoicism.
Trish, with her natural intelligence, quickly realizes that Lady is indeed jealous, and the more the brunette tries to hide it, the more she reveals herself. Trish finds these irrational human emotions amusing, and she laughs, thereby neutralizing the tension. Lady is also embarrassed, and there's no point in denying it. Dante maintains a poker face. He's a true man💪🏻
She barges unceremoniously into Dante's room. Again, a question for girls and guys - how often do we allow our friends to cross such personal boundaries as a bedroom? Then she openly admits to Dante that there was an intruder in his house while he was away. In other words, she was definitely at the office when she didn't even know if Dante was home. In the same scene, Lady counts the money bills and puts them in her bodice, "the most secure place in a woman's outfit."
Why there? I don't know why, for example, not in a bag on the side. The director chose this angle for a reason. It's a very intimate gesture in front of men😏
They definitely spend their evenings together, and of course, their game of "cards" - Dante's debt increases, and he tries to "cheat" Lady with a fake card, but he knows she'll see through it. He enjoys being in debt, and she constantly reminds him throughout the series about how much money he owes her, even though Trish mentions that she can visit Dante's office at any time and doesn't need a card debt as an excuse. However, Lady does need it. And so does Dante. This way, they're always in each other's line of sight.
"A Shot to the Heart." This is Dante's condition: whoever hits the other's heart first wins. Yes, sometimes subtle hints are anything but subtle🗣
"When you help me, can you do it without special effects?" She reminds him that she has the same goal as him - to destroy demons. Lady is again examined by the camera (through the eyes of the main character) from head to toe, deliberately emphasizing a flirtatious gesture (tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, lowering her head, and closing her eyes)✨️
She knows that he's involved in another dangerous mission, and he doesn't want Lady to know, but she still snatches the pendant from his hands and looks at him with a hint of smugness. Who else can snatch something from Dante's hands? (Remind me of the Pizza scene in DMC4 😏) However, she quickly returns the pendant and walks away. Dante is a bit surprised that she doesn't ask him about the details of the new mission. But she doesn't leave. She waits. Lady is thinking about him. About his new assignment and his suspicious silence. But the words are never spoken, they hang in the air. Dante also notices her on the other side of the street, but he doesn't show it. They go their separate ways. Each has a heavy heart. But this is their life and their work. Opening up to each other is also an art, and they are both difficult students🤷🏻♀️
"Why are you so sad?" I'll just leave it here. Words are unnecessary, but a few minutes before Lady arrived, the waitress Cindy also asked Dante why he was alone and offered advice on how to reconcile with Patty, but the demon hunter responded coldly, stating that it was none of her business. Fair enough. Dante doesn't let anyone close to him. Exceptions are rare.
They're working again.She's clearly excited to join in. She smiles, her gaze almost tender. Trish is also excited. Dante's excitement returns.The adventure continues💫
