DEVIL MAY CRY 5 - Nero Finds Out Vergil Is His Father 

Nero : *literally does nothing* Dante : GET OUTTA MY WAY NERO

Nero: Vergil is my father?! Dante: Look kid, me, you, & him are the only three Demon hybrids with white hair & I sure as hell ain’t your pa.

Dante: How to verify if Nero is Vergil's son Ask Vergil, NO Take dna test, NO Old kanata's reaction, YES

Nero to Dante: "Vergil is your brother?" Vergil to Dante: "Nero is my son?" Dante to Nero: "He is your father." Nero to Dante: "You're my uncle?"

He’s your father But he aint your daddy

Nero: “Vergil’s my father?!” Dante: “No, actually I think your father’s last name was Sherlock. First name No Shit.”

"Because he's your father!" Nero: *Probably having assumed Dante was his dad for the past 6-7 years* Wha..?

"I know you hate Vergil, but you can't kill your own father" Lady: (Killed Arkham)

Vergil pull out game is D rank .

As ruthless as Vergil is and not yet having an idea who Nero was. That "Thank You Nero" felt heartfelt even if that was V saying it

I don't know why but when Dante' raises his voice when he tells Nero, "he's your father", just sends chills down my spine Maybe it's because were so used to Dante being the smooth talking badass that he is, at worst when he's serious his voice gets sterner and less airy so hearing him actually shout back at Nero makes you realize this isn't Dante talking to a companion. This is Dante finally letting out the bottled up baggage to his Nephew.

I think the best part of this is that Vergil drops the Inferiority complex for just a split second to genuinely thank Nero for helping him become whole again. Its an uncharacteristically humble and honest moment from a character that usually keeps an enormous amount of walls between himself and the rest of the world.

Dante: "he's your father, I've known since we met." Trish: "I suspected that he was your dad for a long time" Nero: "WHy aM I ThE LaST tO KnOW! ! !" Vergil: "Nero is my son?" Nero: "oh shit nvm"

Dante: He's your father Nero: "surprised pikachu face"

It sucks when you realize that Dante has been more like a father to Nero than Vergil ever was

I people don't understand how much being V has changed Vergil. He now embraces his human blood. He even questions why he hates his brother and his mother. Vergil is changing its just he doesn't know how to express it, it's like Dante said they have been fighting since they were kids. That's how he expresses his feelings, to challenge his son was a sense of showing pride because he see's his son as much of a challenge as his brother. Vergil is basically Buu arc Vegeta right now

Nero: NICO, STOP THE CAR *Car is literally on a collapsing bridge*

I still love how vergil was all: "Dante it's pointless go get your rest so that if you do kick my ass there is no excuse I can make."

Father and son are both voiced by Power Rangers. How bout that?

Virgil also took his son's arm, like Vader. Wow.

“My dumbass brother is back and I am gonna rip him a new one” I just love this guy

Dante: "He's your father!" Everyone who played DMC4: "Yeah, duh."

"Get out of my way, Nero!" Dante yells to the guy standing in a completely relaxed position a few feet to his left... A position which is completely out of his goddamn way.

1:26 Dante: "GET OUT OF MY WAY, NERO!!" Nero: ".....wut?.....I'm just standing here."

Imagine that though. Being in Nero's shoes. All your life you've been picked on for not knowing your real parents, you suddenly have demonic power out of nowhere with seemingly no explanation, then all of a sudden you're told you have a family comprised of Devils. His entire reality must've been flipped right then. You can see it in his face.

This is what I like about Vergil, even though he’s a villain, he’s an honourable fighter, not wanting to fight Dante while he’s weak.

2:54 I like how you can hear Nero mutter “No…” but there are no subtitles for it. It really emphasizes the utter disbelief Nero is in.

Nero doing something stupid. Vergil: Boy! Don't make me come over there and be a parent! Nero: First time for everything! Vergil: ohohooo!!

“So this guy Vergil. You know him?” “Vaguely, yes.” Love the call back to DMC 1.

2:46 I just love Nero's reaction there. He looks like he's just been sucker punched in the face.

Can we just appreciate the performance by Johnny and Reuben during the small argument? It felt so real, especially the way Johnny made Nero sound.

I like Lady's line about Nero killing his own father, because she knows what she's talking about.

I know Vergil being Nero's dad is a "gurl we been knew" situation but the voice acting here still makes the reveal so damn powerful

I love how sudden this reveal was too. Not that much buildup, just outta nowhere, "He's your father!" And it changed everything.

That was heart breaking and shocking. Even if we knew already Vergil is Nero's father, this is when we realize Dante doesn't really consider Nero a true dead weight. He was just trying to protect his nephew, the only family he has left. Also, when Vergil returned, Dante knew inmediately Nero would want to join the battle, and whether Nero kills Vergil or Vergil kills Nero, Dante wasn't prepared to lost another relative.

Vergil: Heal your wounds Dante, get strong... *TRANSLATION* *GIT GUD DANTE*

"HE'S YOUR FATHER!!" Fuck.. that delivery is still chilling to this day.

I love how nero's just standing there like "wtf is going on" while dante gets his ass kicked.

Man people were bitching about the realistic approach to the character models but Sheesh this is the best thing Capcom has done to the series. This is probably the closest we'll ever get to a live action DMC and Vergil... omg they couldn't have gotten him anymore perfect! Breath taking graphics fo sure.

Literally Nero in DMC 5 Nero : "Am i a joke to you?

DMC is the opposite of MGS Liquid was imperfect and the villain Where Dante is imperfect but the hero

3:38, that's the face that made me want to give Nero a hug. god dam the facial animations are so on point in this game.

Literally DMC 5: The Family Reunion DLC

Dante: Hes your father! Nero: What? Vergil: Wait, What now?

I love how Nero is the only one NOT talking about killing Vergil. Dante finally sees his brother again after having “killed” him when he was Nelo Angelo and the first thing he did was attack Vergil on sight. Plus after seeing V merge with Urizen he HAD to have understood that Urizen had no humanity to begin with and Vergil never really did anything but split his dying self (which again, kinda Dante’s fault to begin with). Then Lady and Trish just automatically assumed Dante was in the right and Vergil the villain. At least Trish had the full story and was still completely on board with the idea of killing a guy who has spent I don’t even know how many years dying and tortured and fully regretted doing the ONLY thing he could to save his life. Literally all Vergil did in this game was split himself as a last ditch effort to save his life and end the serious ptsd he still had from Mundus (didn’t have the best outcome, but it was understandable and he regretted it afterwards), then when he came back he picked up his book, retaliated when Dante attacked first, thanked Nero and left (afterwards they fought and he ended up saving the day by sealing himself in hell). I feel really sorry for Vergil. Everyone hated him just for doing what he could to survive. Dante saw that V was literally turning to ashes and was totally fine with him dying, but when he realized he was going to turn back into Vergil it became a problem?! I guess Nero is only one that NOT an asshole this game (not counting Kyrie).

I got a little emotional for Nero here, I mean we all knew he was Vergil's son but it was one hell of a shock to him, not only knowing that his father is the bad guy, but also the bad guy who ripped his arm off to get more power.. poor boy

Nero really needs to get past Dante calling him dead weight

The best part about this is that Vergil didn't even know

I love how Dante is so serious when he tells Nero that Vergil is his father

love how Vergil and Dantes sibling rivalry has become such a casuall thing like ''oh boy, here i go killing my brother again'' and we fans are like ''yup, just another tuesday night at the house of sparda clan'', no wonder this series is so good

Man their acting are phenomenal.

HAAAA HOW KIND OF YOU TO LEND YOUR DAD A HAND NERO AHAHAHAHAHAH

I love how Nero is several metres away but Dante is still like: "GET OUTTA MY WAY NERO" because Uncle Dante knows this Boss Battle is gonna ruin the entire friggin area

When I streamed/played this for the first time I cheered. That "He's your father" line is delivered so beautifully by Langdon

Vergil: I want my Beowulf back, Dante.

dante: he's your father! nero: no... thats not true... thats impossible!!! dante: search your feelings, you know it be true nero: NOOOOOO! NOOOO!!!!

This is what they call a heart-warming family reunion.

Nero: * literally breathes* Dante: "and I took that personally"

Dante: he's your father!! Nero: NANIIIIIIII!! *Now start the star wars music!!

Nero: hey dad now that your back can we have a father and son moment? Vergil: not now I'm busy trying to kick your uncle ass. Nero: but dad Vergil: don't make me cut off your other arm. Nero: god i hope you lose.

2:32 to 3:18 I LOVE how real this dialogue feels! I can't get over how this is such great reference material for writing a realistic argument between two characters!

Johnny Yong Bosch’s voice acting is incredible

Congratulations to one of the worst kept secrets in DMC history

Nero: *Desperately trying to climb an ascending pillar while fighting demons* Dante: *Desperately climbing towards Nero with all his strength while struggling* Nero: *Feels Dante’s arm grab his leg* What Dante!? Dante: *Gasps for air desperately while throwing Nero off pillar* Nero: *Screaming* WHY! Dante: GET OUT OF MY WAY NERO

It's funny that what Dante said represents what we all felt .. We all had the feeling when we first saw Nero in DMC4 that he was either Dante's or Vergil's son .. then we saw how the Yamato reacted and we were sure .. Vergil is his father 😁

Nero: Jumps into van Also Nero: has tantrum and jumps back out.

Johnny Young Bosch has a habit of playing angsty youths with swords apparently (he voiced Ichigo Kurosaki)

Vergil : i am your father. Nero : Noooooooooo!!!

Who's the lucky lady who managed to get Vergil of all ppl?! 👁👄👁

That feel when you find out who your father is 10 years after everybody else.

Dante: He may have been your father, boy. But he wasn't your daddy.

Whoever made this soundtrack should get a grammy

4:21 Vergil: Would I have your life? And dance like Michael Jackson?

I like how Vergil is confused why he's suddenly in front of Dante and some kid he has never seen before but somehow understands he's related to him

So happy they kept the ps2 DMC3 voice for Vergil. God this game was so good.

Had Hideo Kojima written this game then Nero would be the clone of Vergil's clone "Big Vergil" who stopped the demons from returning and assumed the role of Fox Leader. Nero would of course be a child soldier masked by the VR missions obtained throgh Dante's memories.

I think what dante really meant as a justification for Nero not to fight was "you're my Nephew" meaning "you're my family" Dante simply doesn't want to risk him dying

"Get out of my way, Nero!" Nero: 100 feet away from Dante

What would this look like with 500% facial animation??

On the amusing side ... Sparda is Nero's Grandpa, and Kyrie might find that a bit interesting. Dante being his Uncle is a mixed bag.

2:40 this is a few moment where we get to heard Dante is being seriously angry And also, how the heck Vergil have a son and Dante don't even have any child? Dude really did great on his protection huh

4:30 where is the *CHAIR* !?!?

Lady: "It's true. You'd never recover from that." Me: "And you did?!"

Vegita: I dont care about my son. Vergile: Hold my beer. I gotta chop some arms.

God, the quality difference between DmC: Devil may Cry and this game is _insane._ Even if you've never played a single other DMC game before this, you can feel the emotion and history radiating in this scene. Compare that to DmC and its complete lack of any sort of chemistry between its characters and you just have to wonder why anyone thought it was a good idea to put the real series on hold.

Theory: Nero is angry because Vergil is his father instead of Dante 😂

God I love the scene where Dante tells Nero that Vergil was his father. The voice acting just hits you.

Everybody kept thinking Nero wanted to kill Vergil, I think he was just mad because he wanted to finally figure out his family history

1:35 "You deny your weapon its purpose"

DMC 5 special edition is not that far away now, which brought me here. And my free time made me write following- This scene always made me wonder if Nero thought Dante was his father until this moment. I mean Vergil also thought something similar in the novel. So it wouldn’t be a stretch. Which means this scene hits doubly harder. Because all this time, what Nero always wanted was family and place to belong to. Meeting Dante finally gave him some sense of that belonging. He must’ve thought after DMC4 events that Dante was his father but did not want to express it because of whatever big complicated story was there. And the Novel also says that post DMC4, Dante often checked on Nero and helped him, which must’ve looked like making up for lost time to Nero. And we know for all their sassing each other Nero respects Dante like crazy because of events of DMC4. So all this time Nero thought the legendary Demon Hunter Dante was his father who has saved the world many times, who also became his mentor. Only to realise that wasn’t case. And what burns more is that- His Father is actually Dante’s evil brother the alpha and the omega Vergil, who cut off his hand, left him to die, used him to meet his own ends as his friend(V), tried to destroy to world. Of course that hit Nero like a freight train. It’s not a trade off he wanted. Which explains why Nero just couldn’t let go of that ‘deadweight’ remark throughout. Because it was coming from Dante(even if he didn’t mean it). He just couldn’t handle hearing it from him and he worked throughout DMC5 until the final fight to prove himself to Dante. Because his opinion just matters that much. Lol that’s all. I know no one will read it but I just wanted to write it for fun. It’s good writing practise if nothing at all.

5:07 bong bong bong from trish ;)

The alpha and the omega my boy!

1:23 you can see how mad Vergil is when he comes back and people are already trying to kill him even though hes only been around for less than 2 minutes after restoration

Now that I think back a little, could this be why Dante was so against Nero joining in from the start the whole time? Never looked at it that way - 🤔

Vergil is so badass and Dan’s voice is so stylish was so hype when Vergil returned and heard his voice

Man the performances of Nero and Dante are amazing. The delivery and timing and even the tone of their voices are just a 10/10, one of the best voice acting in gaming I'd say.

Dante: 'Get out of my way Nero!' Nero not even standing in his way. Nero: *Bruh*

the whole thing is collapsing and nero is just like "yea this seems like a good time to go"

I mean I kinda had a feeling ever since DMC4 but this is kinda awesome

anyone else pause the video to admire that beautiful damascus pattern on that sword
