I have noticed recently that I am not involved as much in discussions about the original series. This thread is to help me share my opinions and things on the original series.
Rebellion theory
Out of all the plotholes in the DMC series, one of the biggest is that Dante, even with his supernatural strength, should not be able to lift a sword like Rebellion that easily.
I thought this one through and came to this conclusion. Rebellion has no weight. It's weight depends on what the holder of the sword thinks it weighs. This is why it took all of Nero's strength just to throw Rebellion at Dante. Yet Dante lifts Rebellion like it is nothing. Thats how Dante pulls off many of his moves too, he shifts the weight of Rebellion to the preferred weight to do that move.
It is a demonic metal, take that into account, weight and mass shouldn't even apply to the damn thing, as it is not even on the Periodic Table. It probably requires the blood of Sparda to lift, similar to how no matter how strong you are, you can't lift Thor's hammer without being Thor.
When noone is holding it, despite its size, it should actually weigh only about 6 lb though.
