Wow this is an amazing thread and an enlightened reading about Nero theories. OK here Im about to post but I just want to say first that I recently got back into DMC. I play DMC years ago when it first came out and liked it. Just finished DMC 4 and Im now curious of Nero's orgins. As well as the other outstanding questions of Vergil's existence. Never played DMC 2 or 3. But because of these forums and youtube
Ive read up. Though I wont say Im an expert either
Ok Ive read all 10 pages of this thread and I havent seen this theory mentioned yet. Though it might be for a good reason so be gentle and here it goes...
Nero might be Vergil's... son
/dodges flames!
I know its a long shot but hey you never know. Nero is an orphan(I think thats correct). His mother could have dropped him off in Fortuna City after seeing Vergil's hunger for power in DMC3.
