“Must not sleep... must warn others."
Personally I still don't believe it.i believed it even before the whole art book thing. the simple fact that dante insisted that yamato stay with him, and that nero's DT echoed vergil's.

Actually that isn't correct. Dante is 28 in DMC1. DMC4 takes place only a year after DMC1 meaning Dante would only be 29 or possibly 30. Vergil and Dante are, of course twins, so they're the same age. Nero's age is never hinted but to me, he looks 18. That would mean Vergil would have been around 11 years old when Nero was conceived.I think it's the theory that makes most sense. It's the most consistent with whats been said by capcom and what's present in the games.
Dante's like ~35-40 in DMC4. Nero's approx 17. So timeframe wise, it fits in place. Vergil would've been 18-20 when he concieved nero.
Nero having the blood of sparda, looking like dante, blue color focus, keeping yamoto, sharing vergil's saying. etc.
There's too many hints.
I also think nero's mother would've been atleast half demon. And nero's devil bringer comes from his mother's bloodline.
source? I find that hard to believe considering both dante and trish look so different.Actually that isn't correct. Dante is 28 in DMC1. DMC4 takes place only a year after DMC1 meaning Dante would only be 29 or possibly 30.
Only thing that changed about Dante was chin hair lol. Trish got a new outfit and clipped her bangs. Dante and Vergil lost their parents when they were 8. Dante confirms that he lost his mother and brother 20 years ago. His brother survived but his mother did not.source? I find that hard to believe considering both dante and trish look so different.
It's all in a matter of preference. To me, it's the most cliched and dull origin story they can come up for Nero and also contradicts the morals of our beloved Vergil a bit as well. But hey like I said, it's all in a matter of opinion I guessHe looks about mid thirties to me. Anyways, vergil's son theory seems to be the most consistent, and also the most straightforward answer. Occam's razor and whatnot.
I don't think it really matters either way, the DMC story constantly gets retconned.

2) The kind of honor he had
it's cool to remember too that last Vergil line when he's going to take on Mundus: "It will be fun to fight with the Prince of Darkness. If my father did it, i should be able to do it too"; notice that subtle change of posture, he now shows that he wants to fight for the sake of fighting, he does not mention anything about power and does not even show his common arrogance,
Not to mention the fact that Sanctus said that while "Nero had the blood of Sparda in his veins, it wasn't as strong as Dante's."
Let's get around the whole "Vergil had conceived Nero at age 11" thing... could there be any other possible explanation?
Maybe Nero is actually 15 (and just grew up fast due to his training and demonic blood -- the game manual did say that he was more-or-less gifted because he always worked alone), which would have Vergil conceive him at age 14.
Vergil had run away from home at age 8. So, he probably had to "grow up fast" as well as a result in order to survive.
He then, in all probability, ran into powerful human teenager (a sorceress who, was most likely a "prodigy" as well, and maybe slightly older than him) at age 14 while still on the streets and... well, he probably had Nero then when she um... seduced Vergil -- through her sheer demonstration of power if nothing else.
Which would explain why Nero is still as strong as Dante. His human side is magical (as is Vergil and Dante's; it's insinuated that Eva was a powerful witch at one point, which would explain how she managed to survive the war between the humans and the demons).
Thanks for this Raonak. I'm putting this in my "DMC connection" theory (which I'll get around to writing one day). It helped a lot.
-------------------------------------------------------
DMC5 would have probably revealed Nero's mother to be a powerful human sorceress, from my point of view (there are a few humans who could train well enough through magic and martial arts to take on demons... Arkham being an example -- Lady had some training as well, but it was probably her "spiritual" connection to her father that made her as powerful as she was).
-------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, that's my official theory. Feel free to disagree with it; it won't make me change my mind on the matter.
i dont see the big deal if nero is vergil's son... nero is practially a new dante... the acted kinda the same except nero is more whiney
Of course it did! I agree!I don't think it really matters either way, the DMC story constantly gets retconned.
I am.Of course it did! I agree!
I'm still not buying Crapcom's crap of Nero being Vergil's son! No f'n way! No no!!![]()
Aw crap, I forgot about that.
