I think you miss the part where a chair withstood a storm that blown trees. After that, it became an urban myth that lives in all gaming years
yes, it should be the official lore that that was vergil's chair amongst the storm of he created.
Yep
Though upon closer inspection you end up discovering that was actually a metal chair and not a plastic one.
@@mekingtiger9095nah, upon a not so close inspection, its brother with less motivation fell.
they are two videos one with the metal chair
and one with the plastic chair
yes this happend 2 times
Until watching this video I genuinely thought that Vergil sitting on a plastic chair was actually in vanilla game. Like seeing Dante busting it down Michael Jackson style wasn't enough
Good point on that haha. Really just shows how over the top DMC gets that even a plastic chair in a scene like that doesn't seem out of place XD
Yeah, I'm the same)
I thought the same until I played the game myself
Come on, man, the Japanese aren't that creative.
same
I also thought Plastic chair was the real one 😭
The meme was just that powerful 👀
me tooooo!
I was fr disappointed it wasn’t
It should have been real from the start
I thought it was real as well because of how ridiculous the other games in the series can be, I havent played 5 yet but i've played the first 3.
I'm one of the people who thought this chair was in the game's cutscene, I was very disappointed when I bought the game and reached the end
Ayy, at least we get to play as Vergil tho XD
Mandela Effect
I think this is the reason why capcom decide to go enforcing the ban of mod
@@jeevieseverino3949its not misremembering it wa sjsut replaced
Me too.
Tax Evasion is a crime, Vergil!
IT IS AN OBLIGATION!
Seems like the tax caught up to him and took everything but his plastic chair.
Virgil:it isn't a crime until you get caught
*crash*
"Oh"
EXACTLY 30 SECONDS AGO
Something worth to add is that this mod is the most installed mod on Nexus aside from cheat tables and trainers. Like, it's the most popular mod that actually changes something in game and not some enhanced difficulty settings.
The plastic chair comforts me Dante
Well you're going to have to sell it to pay for the child support.
There's a song literally named "Chair".
@@izzy_theog9658 beautiful
@@izzy_theog9658ayo, kamen rider insert song mention?
That chair is so legendary that one of Vergil’s daughters has official art of her sitting on one in her own game.
PGR being based with the stickers.
Vergils daughter?
@@aceknown3230 In Punishing: Gray Raven, there's a character named Alpha with a very similar aesthetic and an in-game emote of her sitting in a plastic lawn chair
Aye, fellow PGR enjoyer!
@@kiritoisalwaysrightfoundationHello, not-quite-Lee!
I thought the meme was because of that chair that didn't move despite the house next to it being blown away by the approaching storm
Its a big part of why the plastic chair even became a meme in the first place, but while both are related both finds their origins in a differant place
It has the power of ventilation holes.
that's probably what inspired the mod in the first place
I mean Virgils music theme is "I am a storm that is approaching" so the chair works perfectly in that context.
Vergil chair has been a meme before that, did you not see the comment section of that video? see how many people referencing "storm that is approaching" which is from Vergil's DMC5 character OST. Hell, the title of those videos are "I am the storm that is approaching." A 0lastic chair wouldn't have been associated with Vergil in the first place if not for the Vergil Chair original video.
also that one video of a plastic chair not moving in the middle of a storm
My sister and her husband witnessed the power of the plastic chair against the storm for themselves. The plastic chair simply _does not care._
There I am, a humble retail worker with no idea what Devil May Cry even is when some kid comes in asking for a white plastic chair for the Vergil meme... that interaction was so confusing I had to Google it when I got home..
He is a motivated kid.
Even in Wuthering Waves there is an Easter Egg about and by sitting on that chair there is an achievement "POWER" 🤣
Missed the part where Max0r had it in his video making it even more viral.
that chair is the universal symbol of motivation.
I thought that it started from a video where Vergil was slashing plastic chairs, but one of them was bugged and so it could not be destroyed.
The plastic chair is cannon.
It is not cannon, it is a chair.
@@physical_insanityI think they meant "chairron".
no I think he meant canon
Edited: GENESIS (false story):
The idea of replacing a tree chair, by using a plastic chair model first begins at the 2nd mission of DMC5, when you exploring a hotel. After exiting a hotel, you enter a restaurant section what is full of plastic tables, plastic chairs and big umberelas. Some people in a break between actons decides to ruin this secton by destroing all of furniture. But when it happens, they all starting to notice "that one plastic chair" what cannot be destroyed by anything. Even in "Vergil mode" "this one plastic chair" stays indestructable.
It was that moment, where all the jokes about "chair being worthy of Vergil" started to be born and together with that - Idea of replacing "tree chair" model with "plastic chair" model in "mission's 19" cutscene.
Some time later and right on time, some of the YT audience who was a possessors of similar chairs, started to record them durning a storms/hurracaines to see how they act. One video with plastic chair resisting the winds of the storm was enough to turn it viral and comlete a meme in eyes of those who also saw DMC5 jokes about it.
Edit: (true story): this was in fact started on discord server. For some time I was believing in story above. My bad.
The picture of the mod posted on Discord is before the "indestructible chair" meme from Mission 2, so the idea in fact did not come from that and there weren't any memes related to the chair before that picture. Also, all the chairs in that mission can be destroyed. Some sort of modding was used to make an indestructible chair for that video.
@@gistr8792 ok, I made a research about that. On "Nexus Mods" a mod with plastic chair for mission 19 cutscene has been uploaded at 23 september 2020, and a video called "Vergil finds a true chair" was uploaded at 21 december 2020, and even creator of this video confirmed by replying to one user, that this all indeed started on discord.
So... You are right. My bad. Thanks for correcting me.
@@heliosX1000 The version I knew of is similar to yours except that the story was "Judgment Cut END" was able to cut down all gods and bosses but not this plastic chair and thus born the "worthy chair" meme. And based on the comments here, looks like I got the sequence wrong as well.
We need a cutscene of DMC reboot Vergil looking at one of these chairs and saying "Not in a million years"
There's an existing video essay about the monobloc chair. And guess what's in the comment section.
*IT WAS FULL OF VERGIL'S PLASTIC CHAIR MEMES*
Link pls?
@@sarlacchina It's on youtube. DIY
@@sarlacchina I gotchu homie ua-cam.com/video/JwApFGwMIMQ/v-deo.html
@@sarlacchina that video is titled "How This Chair Conquered the World"
What's more plausible in a DMC game?
A weird tree or a plastic chair?
Because of the pure DMC energy, an ordinary plastic garden chair, were we all in some way, seen, sat, or owned in one way or another... Are more meme worthy than a tree that just existed...
And now this chair is in wuthering wave 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Seriously?? Where???
I found it too 😂😂😂
@@ahmadraif9989 on top of the tallest mountain at the back of the grand library
@@UnNamedNecessarry thanks bruhh 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
@@ahmadraif9989there's an achievement for sitting on it called "Power!" So... guess Kuro Games love Vergil 😂
..., And like the plastic chair wasn't enough, someone make an artwork of Vergil, sitting on plastic chair, drinking Monster Energy, and wear sunglasses.
Since that, people associates Vergil with: plastic chair, Monster Energy, sunglasses, and Boombox playing Bury The Light at laud.
Why isnt he drinking poweraid
Whenever the next game comes out, I sincerely hope the devs embrace the meme and actually include the plastic chair somehow.
I think it's just a chair a lot of us had growing up, never broke, always endured. Till someone kicked the legs off
1:24 Ah, yes. The ultimate show of power.
Sitting on top of 20 stacked monoblocs.
Dang now its even in Whutering Waves
Man, Conventions better have that plastic chair ready when Dan Southworth is scheduled as a guest.
And don't forget about a certain plastic chair that didn't move an inch in a storm
now the meme is in the new game wuthering waves on top of a high mountain overlooking everything and theres a plastic chair with a sword like yamato stuck in the ground next to it xDD
Plastic chair is the only chair that's worthy enough for a son of Sparda
There's something so funny about the "If you want it-" (Chair scraping noises) "You'll have to take it."
The plastic chair has a deeper history. Originaly the chair meme started when a video surfaced where vergil does a full combo on an enemy and a single plastic chair survives. Said player then tries every single attack against that chair and it remains undamaged and around the same time a video of a chair surviving a storm appears which fits perfectly with the meme. Hence why vergil chooses his throne to be the unbreakable plastic chair
And now we have this chair on Wuthering Waves
that one clip of the chair seemingly ignoring a hurricane helps too
Something worth pointing out: there is a modded character for Rivals of Aether (and YOMI Hustle now) which is just furry Vergil, and one of her moves has her pull out a plastic chair and sit in it
Oh rad what's the name?
@@Professor-BadgerIn YOMI Hustle: Miko.
It's one of the most popular mods for YOMI Hustle.
I don't actually know what her name is in Rivals of Aether.
It's so powerful it's in wuthering waves too!!
The coolest thing about this is that if you go to the video that tells the story of the monoblock chair (that's the name of the chair) you can see tons of comments from Devil May Cry fans
In fairness, the video literally has tags mentioning Devil May Cry, so people searching up the meme would've found it either way.
In school we have a plastic chair that looks like that and i always bring it with me when we're in class and everytime my teacher says "Put that chair outside" i always say "If you want it... then you'll have to take it" my classmates laughs not because of the line they laugh cause i got kicked out lmao
So I remember a little while ago I convinced one of my friends who only knew the game through memesto play DMC5. When he reached the Vergil boss fight she shared his screen so I can watch the fight. And when the camera turns to Vergil he says " what is that where's the plastic chair?" I told "seriously you really believed it was a plastic chair" 😂
My internet sucks, so the thumbnail didn’t load. But I was more than certain it was a DMC meme
How I was not disappointed
Even a chair have more interesting life while you sitting and watching this video, like me.
I honestly thought they actually used a plastic chair as a recycled asset they used in the vanilla game too.
The plastic chair is too powerful and motivated.
The chair in the storm and max0r video helped this meme to get more popular
I didn't know it was a mod for a long time, it just seems fitting for the kind of humor the devil would have with DMC
Vergil actually did buy like 13 plastic chairs
That chair is so legendary, WuWa has a similar chair on a mountain in their open world.
the dmc pipeline:
sonic fan becomes a persona fan
that persona fan becomes a dmc fan (it's true believe it)
Wuthering Waves Chair......POWER!!
So this is the story how this power was created
My disappointment when I found out that plastic chair wasn't really in the vanilla game...
*Immeasurable*
I guess it all started with a video of buggy indestructable chair
I believe it wasn't coincidence that that person uploaded that edit. There was a video of camera footage of a terrible storm. Not exactly sure where, but the footage contained that exact plastic chair sitting perfectly still whilst even rooftops of houses were ripping off, and trees were just laying on the floor unable to get up. Probably it was nailed to the ground or something. The video was simply titled 'I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING'. So I'm sure that's where the inspiration came from.
They put this in Wuthering waves
you are so wrong a chair that withstood a hurricane with vergils theme played over it was named vergil's chair
It became a viral meme and the person who added the chair to a devil may cry 5 cutscene with vergil sitting on it made it blow up even more
U forgot the most important history about the chair video brotha 😂 That how meme was born.
Maxor's review where he added the perfect scraping sound also deserves a mention.
That plastic white chair was on the game before you leave the building hotel to fight giant lizard...
I like the specificity in "(CHAIR SCRAPING LOUDLY AGAINST THE QLIPHOTH)"
love the super quiet persona 4 music in the background
some time i just forgot that he's not sitting on plastic chair in base game
I know this is buried in the comments but a few months after the chair meme happened, I paid for Daniel Southworth, Virgil's VA, to do the Chair meme for our friends birthday
WHAAAT!? i thought the chair meme came into vergils existence due to the storm chair meme!
At this point the devs HAVE to put this in the next game, or even atleast an easter egg
the real story is that a chair withstood a storm, blown trees and roofs away but a single stands strong
And in recent time, the chair is also in that new game wuthering wave, the devs even make an achievement called 'POWER!' for when player finds the chair and make their character sit on it
You left out the plastic chair that weathered an approaching storm IRL.
I was legitimately surprised that there wasn't a plastic chair in the cutscene but some random fantasy tree throne because that fits the spirit of dmc so fucking perfectly
It says a lot about how wacky these games can be that so many people never even doubted whether this was real or not.
Foolishness, Dante. The chair gave me 5.84% more comfortability, hence giving me more power.
“Be the storm that is approaching” -somebody
I cried when I walked up to Vergil and he wasn't sitting in a plastic lawn chair. I had seen quite a few clips of this scene and not a single one had the weird chair. Every single one was a plastic lawn chair.
I thought the Chair was real, I thought they based it on the Chair that refused to fall over during a hurricane.
I work at this store in accounting.
Promoting.
Black seats with high discount rates.
I am reclining in my chair.
Profits and gains attached in my mails.
My plastic chair is my throne of retail.
It got so popular it made it into real life
Sitting in a plastic chair at the top of a tree that currently reaches the limits of Earth's atmosphere isn't just a flex.
This. Is. Power.
Considering how ridiculous Devil May Cry 5 is, a plastic chair seems entirely possible. It makes perfect sense for people to think it was actually just part of the game.
I am also one who thought the chair was in the actual game. Even though it isn’t- it will always be, in my heart.
My friend got and played DMC recently and when he got to that point, we were all shocked by the fact that the chair wasn't real
Literally... it's the exact plastic chair i own and is in my room, right in front of me and my two eyes...
just u know in Wuthering Waves game there is a literal referance to this meme :D
NOW I’M A LITTLE MOTIVATED
The chair is actually more comfortable than gaming chair, also gives you more motivation
I really tough that chair is real
My fellow plastic chair has had a truly Motivating career.
You missed, that this chair was indestructible object and survived a storm. And meme about Virgil trying to destroy it.
Holy shiet, for the whole time i thought that plastic chair is the original shiet from the game bruh, i ever questioning why Vergil sitting in that old dirty fragile plastic chair thou, its turn out i was wrong the whole time😢
I think my favorite mod of this cutscene was Vergil with a soft drink. "If you want it *slurp* than you'll have to take it *sluuuuurp*"
Kinda wish Vergil sitting on a plastic chair is part of the real game. It's like showing he doesn't need fancy stuff to be cool and powerful
The meme for me of this, is the video of the plastic chair standing in a hurricane
First time seeing it I already know it was a mod because of that particles effects, but I playing funny with how hilarious the Plastic Chair meme is
As someone who joined the DMC fandom last year, I had to look up the meme cuz I had no idea that it was a mod! Now I am happy to know
When I think of that plastic chair, first thing comes to mind was the chair vs tornado
Your forgetting the true power of the plastic chair manifesting itself in real life out in an actual storm not kneeling to it as everything else in the storms pathh was blown away. All but vergils plastic chair.
THIS
IS
POWER!
The Brazilian bar gaming chair.
To be fair, DMC is crazy enough that the chair could have fit into the game legitimately. That Vergil just found it and sits on it.
Great video!
Thanks quanduong!!
still attempting to create a Monobloc Lawn Chair that I can summon in and out of existence at will
I havent played yet and I've seen this scene multiple times with this plastic chair I actually started to believe it, wish the devs would add the plastic chair when replaying
Damn, the Mandela effect was that f*cking strong.
i remember some time ago. an uploader of the chair mod was getting a little creative. He daid something about i noticed Vergil sitting on this black tree and i took it out and replaced it with the chair found early in the game in one of neros levels. it surprising fit so well under Vergil it became a meme over night.
im obviously paraphrasing. the comment he said of how well it fit made it the meme and the chairs legend took off
