A little late to the party, but when Nero does a grab on a Basilisk, he shouts "Fire! Fire! Fire!" (or something like that) which is a reference to the Konami Laser Scope

I think it actually says "Mundus Vivendi", which means "Mundus lives".
*eye twitches* It does not translate to "Mundus lives", note it's very similar to phrase "modus vivendi", which translates to "way of living" (and usually refers to a conditional agreement between two sides in a conflict).

Dude, you replied to a 8 years old post. From a guy who hasn't been active for 3 years.
Sure, but was it unreadable back then?

But the first word isn't modus, it's Mundus. "Mundus lives" is a better translation than "Mundus of living" or something.

"Mundus vivendi" translates as "clean living".Lol
A neat easter egg, if we take into account Berial is his son/ prince.

You can't just ignore grammar, dude. "vivendi" is genitive gerund, it can't become something else cause the translation of the phrase doesn't sound that great.
Mundus is btw also an ordinary Latin word, when it ain't the name of the Roman pit, as a noun it refers to world, universe or mankind, as an adjective it translates to clean, pure or elegant, spohisticated.

I think you're ignoring the context of the line being in a Devil May Cry game and Mundus being an important character in the series' lore.

Sure it could mean simply "clean living" or something, but if that was all it was intended to be then it just makes no sense to even be there in the first place.

That Mundus is alive is a known thing to anyone that paid attention to the end of DMC1, so I am more inclined to believe it was some phrase that just happens to have the name Mundus in it to catch attention.
Easter eggs don't always have some profound meaning, most often they just make you remember something.
