The Anime is from the little girl's point of view
Thus why Dante feels so different. She sees him that way because she doesn't completely understand the situation. When she is not there, the point of view is based on what she heard or how she would have seen it. We don't see the last fight because her mind refuses to comprehend what she saw. Or she is telling someone the story and making it that way to entertain the people or person she is speaking to or to see the look on their face(s), think about it telling them all this Badass stuff then saying anyway then he... naaaa you don't need to hear the rest. I could even be her telling her mother what happened.- Then how do you explain Dante's narration at the start of each mission?
- Patty simply got Dante to tell her version.
- This of course begs the question, why did she whitewash Morrison in 5?
- Would've been interesting to ponder, but the simple fact is that... it was Capcom who decided to Race Lift him. Unfortunately, there isn't much of an In-Universe reason for the redesign, just like many examples of the trope.
