He's been very persistent that Vergil is not a villain at all at any point but rather an anti-hero the whole time.
Well a lot of people have the same vision of Vergil being an anti-hero because he's cool or that he is not a bad guy, is an innocent little kid and they don't care the facts that emerged a giant monolith in the middle of a city or killed thousands lifed only to get a fruit I mean, DMC5 ended with 0 fault or regret to Vergil and the public thinks it's ok because I am the storm that is approaching.
I mean Vision of V was interesting but the people but people forgot that Vergil is not innocent and they were left with the image of someone who suffered and was misunderstood.
