tbh the one thing i really regretted about writing Nero was that I never got the chance to express just how appreciative he was of Credo taking him under his wing and raising him. I was super glad when DMC 5 touched on how he feels his greatest failure was being unable to save Credo. That Nero's desire for power comes out of a need to protect those he cares for. He acts rough on the surface, but deep down he's thinking with his heart first and foremost. And people were really out here trying to be like Nero isn't Vergil's son, fuck outta here.
#smoke break (out of character)#He has a lot of Dante's personality traits but he really does have vergil's need to protect his loved ones#i have so many feelings about nero#he is my favorite of the sparda boys#granted...#DMC 4 was also my first DMC game#and i still think he's the coolest bitch out there#nero's devil trigger being born out of a desire to protect Kyrie#and then him fully unlocking it in 5 because he wanted to stop Dante and Vergil from killing each other#I JUST...#AUGH
