Henry Fuseli (1741-1825) "Satan Touched by Ithuriel's Spear" (1779) Romanticism The painting depicts a scene from John Milton's "Paradise Lost" in which Ithuriel is one of two angels (the other being Zephon) charged by the archangel Gabriel to go in search of Satan, who is loose in the Garden of Eden. They find him lurking, in the shape of a toad, close to the ear of the sleeping Eve, attempting to corrupt her thoughts. Ithuriel touches Satan withhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ithuriel his spear, causing him to instantly resume his true form:
Him thus intent Ithuriel with his spear Touched lightly; for no falshood [sic] can endure Touch of celestial temper, but returns Of force to its own likeness: Up he starts Discovered and surprised.
The angels then compel Satan to return with them to Gabriel.
They finally get along!!

Something that I loved about this chapter is how little Vergil also admits to himself V that he enjoys fighting Dante.
I mean, it was pretty obvious from the start but he outright admitting it now says a lot of him. It also showed how much he cares for Dante as a brother and, at least to me, that he questioned if Dante still cared about him.
Perhaps that's the reason why he decides to go full swing against Dante: to justify those feelings of insecurity and to subconsciously remember the days when they were a happy family.
Now that V told him that Dante wants him by side to have "someone to quarrel with" he can fight with little weight in his heart, understanding that the insecurity he felt about Dante not loving him or being resentful is just the result of another facade like the one he himself used to have. His brother really cares
But as I said, he still has a little weight in his heart. Perhaps he still feels doubt about belonging somewhere after all he's been through, or the idea that there's only one way to go about all those feelings and that Dante thinks the same way. I think that's where Nero makes his entrance.
This is just my perspective, because this manga is about Vergil's (and Dante too) journey but it also reflects the way some people may feel after trauma and it can be a really different feeling for each person.
