The next game should have Nero find his mother.

And would you see the "Rival of Nero" be a hero, anti-hero, villain, anti-villain or neutral?

I would prefer a morally complex character but DMC fails at pulling it off. The reboot is better but still struggles. Here's hoping the upcoming animated series pulls it off.

I'd give Nero a new rival each game/story.

Revive credo and nelo angelo him up, make him nero's nemesis who he has to fight his guilt over, and come to terms with the reality that he has to kill him to free him so they can both move on

I had an old idea that Kyrie dies and comes back as a ghost. It's inspired by the TV Show Being Human (US/UK).

Back in the day people wanted to kill her off and have Nero go on a revenge quest. I thought this direction might less cliche. It's less about avenging Kyrie but dealing with adjusting to the new status quo.

Would Ghost Kyrie try to help Nero fight by using her newfound powers as a ghost?

Would Nico try and build Kyrie a robot body?

Would Kyrie have a new job as a Reaper of souls? Is there a being the dead answers too?

Is there a way to bring her back? Does it have a cost?

The possibilities are endless. Kyrie's problem is that she's uninspired and a super outdated trope from 1980s anime. So this is a way to do more with her and still be unique.

That doesn’t seem encouraging.

I mean the rival for Nero must be someone who can relate to his morals but in an opposite direction.

Would you see his rival with a scar and one eye or a mask hiding his scars?

And I’m sticking with a khopesh being his main weapon.

And Royal Guard is the last of Dante’s styles in need of being used for a new character, when going on the defensive to offensive.

It's your story so you could design Nero's rival how you want.

Multiple rivals for Nero prevents them from getting stale. They wouldn't overstay their welcome like Vergil does.
