Well, Nero's coat isn't blue either, it's purple, yet people keep referring to it as "blue". But new!Dante does have a faint blue tone to his black coat, true black has a blue undertone.

Nero's coat is navy blue with maybe a slight hint of purple in it. New Dante doesn't have a blue tone to his coat. In fact, I think it's more of a dark gray. Black doesn't have a blue undertone, that's why it's called black, not 'really dark blue'.
 
True black hair had a blue sheen in naturel light, that's why comic characters with black hair are given blue highlights. Plus most black dyes used in leather work have a blue underdye, it's why when you wash something that's been over dyed out, the dye is often blue in tone.

In some of the lighting the demo and the cinemas we've seen so far, the coat has a blue sheen. Could be a trick of the lighting mechanics, but it's there.

Black often does have a blue undertone, but it can also be a gray undertone. I have black pants that look grayish in the light. So I wouldn't say there's 'one type of black'. This all doesn't matter anyway. We were talking about the color of Dante's coat, and it doesn't seem to have a blue undertone. More like gray. I think it depends on the color that hits his coat. If the light is slightly blue, that reflects off of his coat, making it look like it's blue. It also greatly depends on the environment.
 
That's why i said, it's possible it's a trick of the lighting mechanics, but in a number of spots, it looked to have a bluish sheen similar to Nero's coat. Plus they both had the classic red inner lining.

I always had it in my head that he was either their half-brother (IE Sparda had a mistress before Eva) or he was a full demon who had unknowingly possessed a human child, fusing their souls and thus causing the birth of an entirely new being, who would one day become completely demonic, but keep his human heart, much like Sparda was a demon with a human heart.
Wow! O.o I love your theory! :P
 
Wow! :blink: I love your theory! :P

I like it too, but to most people it would probably sound too fanfictiony. XD

But c'mon, I can totally see Nero ending up looking like his DT concept art, but he still acts like a human and thus is accepted by humanity as the 2nd coming of Sparda due to his great deeds.

This title should belong to Dante by his feats throughout the series.
 
Well like I've said in the past, whatever way you look at it Capcom really screw us around with plotholes and the like.

I mean c'mon. On one hand we have a guy (Bingo) who worked for Capcom, leave. And he goes and writes a novel. And in it he 'reveals' that Nero is indeed Vergil's son. And then on the other hand, in the Devil May Cry 4 Instruction Manual it states that Nero was infected (So his arm is like a demonic infection). And then in the game itself we have other such hints that Nero is 'a descendant' of Sparda and he has 'inherited' his blood and such things like this.

Which one is it Capcom? Because I just saw three theories you've put out there for your own character. Maybe you should probably know who you're character truly is before you try and sell him off to the World to cash in a profit.

This is more than likely why the majority of fans still hold somewhat dislike for Nero. Not because of who he is. For the fact that we can't hate him for how he came to be, because we don't even know how he came to be. Nero to me was an injection to the franchise to try and stop itself from falling apart. And yeah it may of worked for a little while, but honestly it's still not so great now. Don't leave fans in the dark. You're not just confusing one person, you're confusing potential millions. And personally to me, that's quite disrespectful.

If they have any decency towards the people they are trying to sell the game to, they would justify their storyline. I look forward to having Nero's origins finally put to rest once and for all.

And last but definitely not least, heed these words Capcom. Making money is about selling your product. Know what you're selling first, it helps ;)
 
Actually, there was no infection mentioned, it was an injury. Nero used it as a cover when his arm started transforming further to keep it in a sling and wrapped up.
 
You can't blame Nero for his bad character development. Blame Capcom for this. Nero's story was cool until Kyrie was captured and held hostage. That's when it led to nowhere but Nero saving her. It was clear at the start of the game that they both cared for each other so nothing was new when they had emotions at the end of the game. Blame Capcom for the bad story here. Nero needs redemption though and it needs to be a solo game without Kyrie being involved or else we will get nowhere again. On top of all of that, Nero's origins were NEVER revealed. It was just a horrible story for his debut. Nero could be many things but Capcom never revealed it. They obviously wanted to test the waters with a cliffhanger ending like that so they can see how the fans reacted with predictions. I personally think Nero is the 3rd son of Sparda because of what Trish said in DMC1 to Dante at the start of the game and DMC3 making that statement half of a lie. Capcom then had the nerve to say that the only one that knows who Nero is was Dante. Its been a VERY long time since I posted here. I think since 2008 so...
 
Nah, Kyrie is okay if she would become useful at least, and not again a mistress in distress.
 
Nero also gave more of a crap about other people than DMC3 Dante did for most of DMC3. Different personalities, sorry to say
 
...and you just showed you hate Nero...thank you so much for a lack of an unbiased even fielded discussion...
