yeah Dante wasn't trying at all during his first fight against Nero and only started putting some real effort into it at the end of their second fight.
It could be true since his hand didn't fall apart when it went through Yamato in DMC3 but I do think it's possible to pull his limbs off via overpowered strength or slice him up with a very powerful weapon.
