"They wanted to keep Nero's parentage ambiguous...for like, the first hour." You'd be amazed how many people live streamed DMC5, had played the previous games, but NEVER suspected Virgil as the father, leaving them as stunned as Nero in that scene.

I like to think that he would have used snatch like a slingshot and thrown himself over if it didn't work.

[@trial_with_an_error9687]

“It’s the law” Woolie really wasn’t wrong. It isn’t a Devil May cry game without Dante getting stabbed by his own sword. Also quick thing. It’s assumed that either the order or Dante managed to retrieve the broken Yamato from the demon realm after his failure to defeat Mundus. If it was the order it makes sense seeing as how they have it, if it was Dante then it can be inferred it was stolen by the order.

[@SinHurr]

I always reckoned it got left on Mallet Island and blown to shit somewhere when the island exploded.

[@innerpeaceatrest3193]

Dante probably sold Yamato for rent money. This is a possible theory.

@@SinHurr that infuriates me so much. I mean, Dante is always shown as a carefree guy always up for some dumb fun, but never as a *straight-up retard.* Why would he just sell what is equivalent to weapons of mass destruction? It would make more sense that souls of demons without a physical body couldn't stay on the human world for long, so after some time, they were just returned to the demon world.

[@stormcutter59]

What about her is lacking tho? We can see she is very caring, impressionable, nurturing, and faithful. She is also very supportive and kind. Look I know she isnt like Lady or whatever, but those ARE personality traits. And it's those traits that make it obvious why Nero went through so much for her in 4. You can tell why he fell in love with her. This is just who she is and people give her flack because she was a damsel in distress. Which basically translates to me that even after several years, you can see some of that Anita Sarkeesian bullshit still lingers in the minds of people. Which is sad.

[@Comkill117]

I love how the game starts by letting you know what it’s like to be on the other end of Dante styling on mooks, and then later he’s by far the hardest fight in the game.

[@Brucifer2]

Considering we know Dante doesnt use the same Devil Arms between games is because he sells them for rent...it feels incredibly irresponsible that he sold Pandora's box for rent, especially since its 666 devastating war weapons.

Something that bothers me. Dante makes fun of Neros motorcycle sword, but he's just got a regular sword off of some rando cult member. It doesn't do motorcycle noises until Kyrie brings him his sword.

[@quisetell]

The regular swords used by the Order members also have some form the combustion system in them, Nero just has a highly modified version that's even more bonkers than theirs. The principle design was made by Agnus and can even be seen in the artificial Angelo demons that he made that also have it built into their weapons.

[@ninboy01]

Both the caliburn swords wielded by the Order of the Swords foot soldiers, and the durandal swords wielded by their officers have engines built into them. Red Queen is just highly customized and more powerful in comparison.
