In DMC3, the yamato is within vergil in the demon world. Then how did it falls to Nero's hand in DMC4?
If you played DMC1(which takes place after DMC3). Vergil was defeated by the demon emperor Mundus(as shown him fighting him in the secret ending of DMC3) and was possessed and corrupted by him and in DMC1 he fought Dante as Nelo Angelo and upon his defeat he blow up and his fragments scattered everywhere. Then the Order of the Sword found his fragments and used them to make those artificial super angels and probably found Yamato though broken along the way.
What's OFTS doing there? And how did they found it ?
At the end of DMC4 Yamato stays in Nero's hands.I wish there should be more combos in Dante's darkslayer style in dmc4. :/ and the Yamato fits Vergil better so dmc3 was cooler... however Yamato+Devil Bringer=Devil Trigger was a excellent idea for Nero... Hmmm Vergil and Nero, both so cool with Yamato... But i cant say the same thing for Yamato's newest owner: Dante :/
Bloody Palace isn't part of the story. Yamato is with Nero at the end of the game so it is currently his swordyes of course but after the game(for example in bloody palace) Dante can still use yamato
