I DO know that obtaining the power of a demon's weapon does NOT explain how one might have demon power long before said encounter with the weapon. Also, please read through, no need to react with "now you're assuming" when I did just in fact assume a part of OTHER people's theories incorrectly explaining Nero's demonic identity prior to the discovery of Yamato. I am NOT saying Yamato chose Nero, I'm specifically saying I do NOT know what those particular theorists actually claim about how/why Yamato was repaired under the circumstances. Nero could be Sparda's reincarnation, but cannot be true unless Nero is in another way his blood descendant. Did any of the artwork that WAS used make it into the artbook? I can't recall at this moment.*How do you know that's not the case? You haven't given any evidence to disprove it. You're just making assumptions now. I think it was said that the Rebellion carries Dante's soul (that's why the sword was 'awakened'), so why wouldn't the Yamato carry Vergil's soul?
As for being a descendant of Sparda, being Vergil's son is not the only explanation for that. As you can read in the 32 pages of this thread.
The Yamato does not need to choose anyone - where did you come up with that? It's quite possible Dante would've been able to restore it just like Nero did. As far as I know, Nero can restore the Yamato because he is related to Sparda, just like Dante and Vergil are.
It's obvious Vergil's soul (or part of it) is inside the Yamato. If it isn't, then what was Nero's whole Vergil speech good for? How would his blue Devil Trigger (with a sheath for Yamato) be explicable? If it's his own Devil Trigger, wouldn't it make sense for it to be red and blue or purple just like the rest of him?
It was actually stated that he has Sparda blood, so this does makes him Sparda's descendant into one way or another.I DO know that obtaining the power of a demon's weapon does NOT explain how one might have demon power long before said encounter with the weapon.

Yes, he is for a fact a "descendant of Sparda's blood", but in what way is up for debate. I strongly believe that Nero is Vergil's son, and that few other theories are as believable.It was actually stated that he has Sparda blood, so this does makes him Sparda's descendant into one way or another.
Well with Capcom put theory about Vergil's son in their official guide it's most likely as good as confirmedYes, he is for a fact a "descendant of Sparda's blood", but in what way is up for debate. I strongly believe that Nero is Vergil's son, and that few other theories are as believable.
Well, It's quite contradicting, but it's what devs themselves decided...so...we have to take it with grain of saltHm.
You know I am not as keen on the theory of Nero being Vergil's son. However I guess I would happily take it as canon if they explained how he is.

none They just said he is. But it was official Capcom character guide, so there is no way around it unless they backdown on their own words, which probably not gonna happenWhat was the explanation? :/
What? Now it's been confirmed in a character guide? I thought TonyRedgraveDMC said it was an artbook?none They just said he is. But it was official Capcom character guide, so there is no way around it unless they backdown on their own words, which probably not gonna happen
I heard it was anniversary character guide to all Capcom charactersWhat? Now it's been confirmed in a character guide? I thought TonyRedgraveDMC said it was an artbook?
So which is it?

sure, go on Also here's some insight on your previous question, though it still not helpful: http://www.capcom-unity.com/carbo/b..._devil_may_cry_news_no_new_game_unfortunatelyI have a theory. I'd happily share it if you'd be willing to listen?
Ah, I see it:I heard it was anniversary character guide to all Capcom characters
sooo...if you still willing to share i would like to hear it...I have a theory. I'd happily share it if you'd be willing to listen?

Actually, I do, how do I share said images? It does not btw, it merely lists conclusions fans have come to, and specifies that at that time there are no concrete answers.Ah, I see it:

Too bad I can't read what it says about Nero, as there's only a little video and a sample of the guide. Can somebody tell me what it says about Nero? Does anyone have a clear picture showing where it says he is Vergil's son? And no ''he may be his son'' or something, because that doesn't help.
Hmm.. It's not creazier than 13-years old impregnation. I understan what you mean. Yup, it kinda strange, but I think they wanted to tell his story in next game, that probably not gonna happen now I thought that may be Nero grows up faster or something, kinda like Dizzy in GG, you know?Well my theory looks at Vergil's ability to teleport and thus in a way partially manipulate time and space.
Vergil states he wants more power. He musters the ability to control dark magic from an early age. In doing so he builds upon his strength to bend time and space, much like Mundus' power. Vergil does impregnate a woman when he is technically '13', although really he is 16 and tkis happens not long before DMC 3. However, using so much dark energy to make himself transverse back in time ends up making him weak. So my theory is Vergil + Dark Magic + Time and space Manipulation = Nero's birth
I would also say that Vergil almost dies as a result of this. A very far fetched idea, but l like it more than just 'Nero IS Vergil's son!!!' - No explanation.
It does though in link that I putted in, where one of devs confirmed it. (As for guide I dunno, like I said I only heard about it)Actually, I do, how do I share said images? It does not btw, it merely lists conclusions fans have come to, and specifies that at that time there are no concrete answers.
As I said earlier, Sanctus can't be mistrusted when his facts are vital to his evil plan. If it was indeed just postulation, Sanctus would have disregarded Nero and went after Dante and/or Nero would not have sufficed and Sanctus would have had complications with the Savior. When the villain (whose organization you work for) tells you his doomsday weapon runs on X and he needs you because secretly you are made of/generate X, it's not really in his best interest to lie, and when it turns out you successfully power up the doomsday weapon, it does not make a lot of sense to claim he was wrong.
As for the reincarnation, I'm not saying he CAN'T be Sparda's reincarnation, but that's only possible if he's Sparda's reincarnation because of A and is Sparda's blood relative because of B. In my opinion, while wearing red and blue doesn't necessarily prove anything at all besides symbolically being tied to Dante/Vergil/Sparda.. so imo Nero is designed to have inherited more of Sparda's traits (symbolically, since you can't necessarily inherit personality traits) and perhaps some of Sparda's more dominant demon genes. Again, just imo Vergil copulating with a human as a teenager is more believable than Sparda having a child with someone after Eva, OR having an unspoken sibling for that matter.
It could be possible he's Sparda's reincarnation, but that would mean he's in possession of his soul, or part of it. It doesn't mean his body is in any way connected to Sparda.
