Does anyone know the general census of ‘did Dante know V is Vergil’ from Japanese players?

Questions

Dante lets V do the final blow is a common evidence use by the English player community to support “Of course Dante knew”. The interpretation is : Why would Dante let a random stranger kill his twin brother

However Dante lets V do the final blow is a common evidence use by the Chinese player community Dante to support “Of course Dante didn’t knew”. The interpretation is : Why would Dante want the pain of kill his twin brother again when a random stranger offers to do it for him?”

Generally when the English and Chinese player community differ on interpretation for a Japanese own ip, the Chinese player census tends to be the more accurate one. China and Japan are more similar in culture and less is lost on translation.

However Devil May Cry is different as I heard English version is written first, so Japanese version is a translation (?) rather than the original.

Thus I wanted to know how the Japanese side interprets this.
