I keep thinking about how insane the events of DMC5 must have been from Nero's perspective. He does NOT have the same context that we, the players/viewers, have.
One random day, Nero's arm gets ripped off by a stranger. A couple of days later, a (different) shady guy breaks into his house. A few hours later, he witnesses Dante get beaten up by a demon. Who also beats him up afterward. Dante goes back for a second round and gets beaten again, but he might be dead this time?? That makes the fact that one of his final words to Nero was âdeadweightâ so much better.Â
The shady guy, whose name is a letter, now conveniently shares that demon is the new demon king, Urizen.
Also, the worldâs going to end in a month.
So, Nero leaves, then returns later to fight demons. A lot of them. He finds Urizen and fights him a second time. Once again, he gets beaten up.
Oh wait, Dante's alive. And heâs (somehow?) gotten more powerful.Â
Then...he's gone. Well, it's time for Nero to catch up to him and prove himself just as capable. He also rescues V, whoâs dying. V randomly starts pouring his heart out and reveals that Urizen is Dante's twin brother. They reach Dante and his almost-dead brother. V stabs Urizen, and BOOM, theyâre now⌠one man??
Within minutes, Nero gained two living family members. And they're going to kill each other.
(Also, if you couldnât tell at this point, this post isn't supposed to be serious. I took out some stuff and over-exaggerated other things to highlight the absurdity of this story from the perspective of someone who does not have the full context of V(ergil) and Danteâs stories.Â
Just wanted to clarify this.)Â
