I Want Someone To Flesh This Out, I Think Vergil Having A Skinwalker Is Hilarious

I want someone to flesh this out, I think Vergil having a skinwalker is hilarious

Headcanon that the red Vergil that Vergil fights in Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition is actually a real character. He's a member of the same species as the shadowy doppelganger that Dante fights and gets the Doppelganger style from in the base game. That doppelganger is also who Dante fights on the final floor Devil May Cry 4's Bloody Palace.

I'm less sure of how to fit the Vergil mirror match in Devil May Cry 5's bloody palace into this silly headcanon. His color palette is just whichever one the real Vergil isn't using at the time (either his classic colors or his modern black coat). Perhaps you could chalk this up to Red Vergil becoming more skilled at mimicking Vergil?

Also, what are the implications of V absorbing this Vergil doppelganger? Vergil does gain the ability to summon a ghostly clone once he's restored, and it's easiest to accept this as a power gained from the Devil Bringer, given its similarity to Nero's DT from Devil May Cry 4. But it's fun to imagine that V finally defeating and absorbing Red Vergil was a factor as well.
