@ghost_rider1: I know how the chains work and I know the character very well. His chains are similar to that of Spawn`s very own due to having their own form of will or consciousness. The chains are commanded by the Ghost Rider and he can manipulate them as he sees fit. And by the way, Dante doesn`t only have DT but on top of that has Majin Form which is an evolved and far more advanced form of DT which amplifies his powers, attributes and abilities even more so. He also becomes godlike. I think you left that part out. You clearly don`t know Dante as much as you are claiming to know him. I also have all the games, watched the anime in its entirety, and I am planning on reading the manga. So what`s your point?
Its not just Dante`s speed but also reaction time, reflexes and fast thinking as well as his unpredictability that is going to be a problem, the speed is not even half of it. You think Dante is just going to helplessly sit there and let the chains ensnare him? He`ll have a back up plan and trust me, he`ll find a way to deal with those chains, with or without Yamato regardless. And also just out of curiosity, do you know how fast Dante really is? Especially when that speed is used as a combinational advantage with the utilization of Quicksilver and Chrono Heart? I don`t think you know Dante that much, playing the games don`t mean nothing if your not doing your research and reintroducing yourself back into the material instead of relying on old forgotten memory. Your probably thinking of DMC 3 or DMC 1 when he was in his earlier years still developing and understanding his own power as he also trying to understand his limits. He was even impressive during his earlier years. DMC manga, DMC 3, DMC 1, DMC: The Animated Series, DMC 4, DMC 2: Novel and then DMC 2. Up to that point, Dante`s power has tremendously increased in all aspects of his character and here`s the key to that, its not because of his large arsenal, DT forms, regeneration but because of his strong will, duty of pure heart to save others and last but not least it is because of his humanity. Whether he surpassed Sparda or not is debatable but if Dante`s that powerful then imagine how truly powerful Sparda was in his prime. I wonder how strong Dante is going to get by DMC 5, that is why I think he is being underestimated and his potential in power overlooked, I think that there is a lack of knowledge on the character and what makes him tick. Also did you know that Dante has telekinetic abilities? Trish threw a motorcycle at him in DMC 1 and he stopped the motorcycle mid-air, and in the anime he summoned Rebellion to his hand, so that says something. In the manga he was able to drive out dark magic that was cast on Alice which was actually done by the Mad Hatter and he did not even manifest his DT abilities as he was learning in the process, Alice even tried to drink his blood and she bit him but that did her no good. If I`m not mistaken, I think during the manga, Alice or somebody else was trying to take his soul in some shape or form but was unable to.
Even at the age of 18-19 he was able to resist the soul sucking abilities of a supernatural artifact that in exchange gives the wielder power, so imagine how powerful Dante is now. Dante will outlast Ghost Rider in the end. I have done extensive research on the Penace Stare and I have found out that the Penace Stare could backfire for certain individuals, we know that it did not work on Deadpool (because of his insanity and experience with drugs), Venom (because the symbiote shields the eyes), blind individuals, Three Eyed individuals nor My Hyde (who transformed back into his original self and fled) but Dante is a possibility due to being a half demon and that could prove to be a factor but I`m not guaranteeing anything, I just wanted to let people know and its interesting as well. The Penace Stare also has its limits and can be reflected but the problem is Ghost Rider will have to be very close to the individual, and he rarely uses it from a far away distance, so that needs to be taken into account and everybody is overlooking that. No one can even provide me with a legitimate scan. Just because he caught Mjonir doesn`t mean he`s going to catch Dante who has Chrono abilities and Ghost Rider was on his motorcycle, when that impressive event happened.
I also heard from many that the Penace Stare`s functionality can be complicated at times as it does not only depend on the victim but the way the Ghost Rider perceives it as well, as he is the caster, others say that being innocent or guilty is not relevant whatsoever due to the popular incident with Dr. Strange. As I was saying, Dr. Strange was attacked by the Ghost Rider as he perceived him to be Satan in disguise playing tricks on him and Dr. Strange furthered that idea by assaulting him, and Dr, Strange could have hidden guilts or a shadow of non innocence, that we don`t even know about exactly as the Ghost Rider has obvious access to knowing. By fate`s hand is then the Penace Stare pretty much invincible in which the victim and the caster play very important roles as they are relevant to the two themes of guilt and innocence. Ghost Rider is an avenger of the innocent, so innocence does a play part in some shape or form. Ghost Rider could even relate to Dante due to him being a demon hunter himself and he has taken down the Devil of his universe, so that can be a factor as well in my personal opinion. The pain that is inflicted is also based on the amounts of pain that was inflicted, so that has to be taken into account and that is another reason why I don`t see Dante dying or falling into a coma. Dante has saved humanity, protected those around him, and has put his life on the line for others. He hasn`t caused anyone emotional pain neither does he kill humans even if their evil exceeds that of demons but the pain done is to evil itself.
Like I said, Dante will outlast him in the end.
