7 Dante in Highschool DxD

You should have known it was coming, especially since DMC 5 released recently. So, seeing the trailers and gameplay, I thought, "How would Dante do in DxD?" Now, depending on which Dante, it's either good or pretty fucking great. Now, I'd opt for a combination Dante, one who's younger than DMC 5, maybe similar in age to DMC 3 Dante, but with all the experience and skills of the older Dante. I'd also give him all the various Styles and Devil Arms he's obtained throughout the franchise. So, that'd be Quicksilver, Royal Guard, Trickster, Swordmaster, Gunslinger, Doppelganger, and I'll even throw in Dark Slayer.

For Devil Arms, I'd say Devil Sword Dante to start, King Cerberus, Cavaliere, Dr. Faust (For obvious reasons), Yamato (For the Dark Slayer Style), Pandora, Lucifer, and Gilgamesh. Now, this list of weapons can be changed to your liking, but I'd leave King Cerberus and Cavaliere for a few reasons: King Cerberus has ice, fire, and lightning attacks, meaning more variety and Cavaliere can be used as transportation, meaning more locations are accessible. Now, as for why I'm using Devil Sword Dante instead of Rebellion, Alastor, or Sparda is because I want this Dante to have the Sin Devil Trigger.

Now, before you say anything about overpowered, I'd like for this form to be for emergency use. In-game you still have access to your normal Trigger, so this would be used for those enemies where the Devil Trigger isn't enough. You might also ask why he has Yamato. Well, that's how he got to the DxD universe. In an attempt to escape Hell, Vergil uses the blade's ability to cut space to try and open a portal, sucking Dante and the Yamato into the wormhole. At least, that's my explanation for it.

So, as for the plot, I'll write down this. Dante, after waking up in Kuoh Town (A few years before the plot), attempts to leave through the same portal, but it closes before he can. Seeing his way back cut off, he thinks about using the Yamato to open another gate but his lack of proficiency with it makes him hesitate. After investigating the town, he discovers his body has regressed in age, but he has regained some of his lost Styles and Devil Arms.

Deciding to set up a new shop in this world, he undertakes some menial bounty hunter work, to save up to buy an office. Unsure if there are demons in this world, his worries are cleared when one of his bounties turns out to be a Stray Devil. During his fight, Rias's Peerage arrive and witness his battle. And I'll leave it there, the rest is up to You.

If You wanted to, you could also try and come up with a way to strengthen his Devil Arms, causing them to gain an ability similar to Balance Breaker. Not the swords, but the other Devil Arms. I'm definitely not thinking about how badass Dante would be with something like Boosted Gear. Oh, the perfect person to help with the Devil Arms is Azazel, he's a researcher of Sacred Gears.

Edit: I think to give an accurate power scale, I'd put Sparda at Super Devil Class minimum. And you could probably go from there.
