Vergil works because he is the distilled opposite of Dante: colder, cleaner, more controlled, and probably worse for everyone's health. The katana, the coat, and the judgment-cut precision make him almost comically efficient at generating aura.

Example
Years of fans begging for playable Vergil were not just about movesets; they were about inhabiting that perfect precision fantasy directly.

Why it matters
Vergil matters because rival charisma can sometimes threaten to steal the whole franchise, and that tension is useful.
