#..his strength was sapped severely

// v headcanon

Though V constantly calls himself weak and pitiful, it is all in reference to his previous strength as Vergil. He is stronger than an average human - he can easily grip onto Griffon without any issues, and he can support the weight of Shadow on his back. He is still able to do feats that normal humans could not such as fall from great heights without any strain. However, when compared to a half demon like Dante or Vergil, or Nero who is at least a quarter, V is certainly the weakest amongst the four.

V still falls into episodes of weakness though - the further he deteriorates, the weaker he gets.
