Special Edition Treatment refers to when Vergil became a playable character in the special edition of Devil May Cry 3, but also when he was added as a fighter in the ultimate edition of Marvel vs Capcom 3, released in 2011. This reference has since been associated more with Vergil due to the much higher difficulty compared to the other bosses in the game, which became a common theme in various memes online (shown below).
"Easy Mode is now selectable" refers to an option that becomes available when the player dies too many times in Devil May Cry 3.
The difference between the two is that he said "I need more Quantum Power," right before he pulls out a sword just like Vergil in DMC (seen below). The quote was similarly uttered by the Time Force Quantum Ranger in Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid, who shared the same voice actor, Daniel Southworth. Taken from all three boss fights in the game, this quote has also been frequently referenced in memes since the game's release (shown below). "I need more POWER" is another famous line and one of the main themes of Vergil in Devil May Cry 3. The quote went on to spawn numerous memes and references from fans (seen below).
"Now I'm motivated" is a phrase uttered during the boss fights against Vergil in Devil May Cry 3, usually when players deal an overwhelming amount of damage, but also in achievements for the game. His fame has also been the source of several jokes, including memes referencing Vergil, especially his iconic lines throughout the series. Vergil gained fame for being one of the best boss fights and rivals in video game history, to the point that it inspired characters in other franchises to similarly contrast protagonists with their counterparts. In 2006 with the re-release of Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening Special Edition, Vergil was made into a completely unique character that players could control over the course of the story. This distinction between the two sets up Vergil as a recurring antagonist, which continues in Devil May Cry 5. Over the course of the game's storyline, it's revealed that Vergil is seeking more power and rejects his humanity, unlike Dante. Vergil's second appearance in the series occurs in the prequel, Devil May Cry 3, which fleshed out the character even further to show his relationship with his brother. Here he takes the name of "Nelo Angelo," and after the last fight against Dante, it's revealed they both have the same amulet and are brothers. Vergil debuted in the first Devil May Cry, released on August 23rd, 2001, where he's possessed by the archenemy of his father, Mundus.
