yeah ok but if nero's arm appeared only after the presumed fight with nelo angelo , why does nero say at the end of the game... before u defeat the savior.... he says:" God i didn't know why u gave me this arm, but now i know this arm is made for sending guys like u in hell"??:| i mean he must've had it from the beginning... right????:|

ok ... ok... here's another idea.... what if...... nero is the son of dante.... infused with the power of vergil/nelo angelo??? dun dun dunnnnnnnnn o.O

It would still make sense if he inherited it recently too. For instance if someone were to get cancer or an illness, they might say"God why did you do this to me?" So I think he was basically saying that.

Ok...seriously, you don't SUDDENLY inherit a demonic arm. Everyones twisting words into something else, when Capcom made it clear, that Nero was BORN from Sparda's bloodline, he's also a "decendant" which means he was 100% born from Sparda's line. Neros appearance is also too much of a hint. Blue eyes, white hair, cocky attitude, beyond human agility and able to weild a 400 pound sword with ease etc etc. He's been the way he has since birth, the Devil Bringer may be a recent revival of Neros hidden ability, since the same happened with Dante in DMC3 with his DT.

All that is possible ND. I just don't think Dante, Vergil, and Nero are directly related in any way. And back to the topic of this thread: no I don't think so although there was that unaccounted for year where Vergil dissapeared. Don't you think it is kinda wierd though that Nero hid his arm in that sling? If he was directly descended from Sparda and his arm was already like that, then how could he keep his arm secret all that time? I really don't know who or what Nero is but he is obviously important. Capcom loves twists(does Tenkai=Samanosuke ring a bell?) so expect the unexpected. All I am saying is Nero could be anyone.

Death comes swiftly to those who fear

Nero's hand wasn't always like that. He got the Devil Bringer some time before the events of DMC4. That much is certain.

come on guys... 16 pages?

 

this should have been resolved a long time ago.

Capcom didnt make anything clear. If they did, then we wouldnt be arguing the fact.

Anyways, you can inherit something without being born with it. For example: lets say someone that was adopted "inherits" their parents fortune when they die. Even though they have no direct bloodline to the adopted parents, they still inherit what was given to them.
Your point has some substance, but at the same time the point I've been making cant be ruled out because of your claims either. Which is that Nero can "inherit" Sparda's bloodline through Vergil's soul possessing his arm.

As for this second idea of yours.........I say NO........Well Yeah..Dante likes to flirt with girls an he feels somethin like love.....but....you know........Its just not him....

"You have indeed inherited Sparda's power"
"I also suspect you didn't know this boy was a decendant of Sparda's blood"
"A descendant of Sparda"

Not to mention his white hair, blue eyes and how easily strong he is without the DB. You'd be a plain idiot not to notice the fact he is. It's not like Sanctus said "You have been granted power!" or something along those lines. Capcom made extra sure to SMEAR that he is.
