After completing dmc4 i don't understand how they can put nero into dmc5 as from what i presume is that dmc5's storyline will be carrying on from dmc2's ending, where dante heads into the demon world and straight into hell on his bike. What i dont get is that how are you supposed to fit the dante wannabe "nero" into that story unless nero opens the portal to the demon world himself with yamato (maybe the power gets to him). Also my view is that vergil's spirit is in nero's arm and he's using nero to gain enough power to enhance his chances of his return.

In dmc2 dante seemed dark, mysterious so if capcom will be carrying on dmc5 from dmc2's storyline this they cant have dante strolling into the demon world with his usual antics. He'll be much older as he was in dmc2 and his character similar to that of his dmc2 one. At the end of dmc2 lucia warns dante that he may never be able to return from the demon world once he goes into it and that sparda did the exact same thing and dante acknowledges that. Personally i think capcom are gonna(trying) to fase out dante as he's getting older (really hope this doesnt happen) but i think the storymode will be that dante never returns from the demon world.

I don't understand why you think that dmc5 is going to have anything to do with 2. Did you read that somewhere and I missed it? As far as I knew many speculated that dmc5 would probably take place somewhere after 4, but before 2. dmc2Dante is noticably older than the Dante is 4, so there is plenty of time to squeeze stories in there.

shouldn't 5 be after 1 and before 4??

we need to know how vergil ?die's? how yamato breaks how agnus gets yamato and how nero's arm went demonicyfied and others

IMO i think capcom messed up

people...no way in hell are they going to continue after dmc2's storyline. Capcom wants to push that game as far out of their minds and as far into the freaking future as possible. I don't know were you heard that from, but its complete bs. That would essentially mean that they would be abandoning their brand new fanbase for nero. Nero is not going away...he is going to most likely continue to play in the forefront for dmc5...continuing the story arc of his life. The next game i am pretty confident we will find out more about his relationship with dante...how his arm originated, (what happened the day "his arm changed") and if in fact he has a tie with vergil.

Capcom totally messed up with DMC2. They didnt intend on Dante looking the age he did! Capcom didnt produce the 2nd installment, whoever made House Of The Dead did; and they messed the storyline up and age speculation in my theory. I think DMC2 was intended to just litrally be after DMC1 as a story, but of course they couldnt change it now because of its release. They didnt try to replace Dante with Nero, because Capcom know the fans wouldnt be pleased. Its merely adding a new element to the game and more exploration, because how could they explain placing a Devil Bringer on Dante? I personally like Nero, and i wanted a love story, because Dante and Trish? NO! I also think Dante looked oldest in DMC4 because because of his broader chin, whiskers and wider muscular body along with seeming ALOT more experienced, which he wasnt in DMC2. Why do people keep arguing about it? Stop making damn theories that the real chronological timeline is on Wiki, CAPCOM HAVE NEVER OFFICIALLY announced anything dammit!!! (I think DMC4 is the final so far in the timeline)

Stop making damn theories

Just one more:


I think they're going to kill off Dante in the future and make Nero the successor, like it says on mission 19 tittle. Dante keeps ageing, Nero is young and passionate and gives Capcom an opportunity to make DMC revolve around love, be it between friends or Nero-Kyrie. And perhaps that would lead to a more emotionally charged game and better stories?

It would be totally fine if Nero learns from Dante gradually and starts to use his styles, he should also keep Rebellion as a memento and as a second weapon. That's a change I can accept.

Isn't that making more theories again though? Thats just an idea of what you have within your head. Dante is the series and Capcom know this. Merely bringing Nero into it doesnt mean a whole war should start, and besides, even if they did, theres more people who liked Nero than disliked him such as myself, all the same goes with what i said before too. How many love stories exsist today anyway? Its mostly war, and ive always wanted love within it. If Nero stays, im fine by it because hes a kick-ass character and the love between Nero and Kyrie brought new emotion and concept to the series. Either way, Capcom are probably making the 5th installment now, and whatever they make next, well fine by me. Because Nero is now a fully attached character to the series, and it'll stay that way; i doubt they'd kill him off for a couple of people who disliked it. Id personally be grateful to see more love between Nero and Kyrie because despite maybe the simplicty behind it, i loved this story the most , something tells me that Vergil will make an appearance though eventually. "Power give me more power!" Yup, that was definatly Vergil talking. But maybe hes turned for the better..? I dunno, either way i dont want Nero to leave the series.

I dont mind nero neither but in dmc5 i definetly want dante to take a more leading role. They made dante a bench boy for nero in dmc4, at first i was like what the hell? but then came round thinking that it's probably to explain nero's story and after playing the game they explain nothing. Gameplay was decent but as for the story it was all about the retrieval of a girl...wow

Just letting you guys know Dante came back from hell just like his father Sparda. Lucia was waiting for him to come back when she heard him she ran and droped his coin he gave her.

quote Jaseyboy12

we need to know how vergil ?die's?

Dante killed him in devil may cry one. HE was the nelo black angle or some thing.

Well you're right about Nelo Angelo being Vergil, but he didn't die.

Personally, I don't remember seeing his heart stop beating. If I remember right, Dante kicked his ass, and the Nelo Angelo dissappeared. Just because he dissappeared doesn't mean he died. Trust me, there would be no problem with Vergil being in a game set after DMC1. By that, I mean, I really don't see many people saying, "hey, he died in DMC1! This is bullshit!" , if he's in a game set after DMC1.

In fact, they could use Dante kicking his ass in DMC1 as a way of bringing him back. I could totally picture Vergil returning and telling Dante something like, "After you defeated me, I was released from my full Demon form and I was no longer a slave to Mundus...."

They could and probably will bring Vergil back. If anything, Capcom seems to still like Vergil's voice actor, and would be willing to hire him for DMC5, seeing as how he was in DMC4 as well. And I'm sure the guy would love to play Vergil again.

I'm almost 100% sure Vergil be in DMC5. And I am completely sure that, unless the entire series ends abruptly due to unpredictable factors, Vergil will be back at one point or another in a future DMC game.

I don't agree within the aspect, that Vergil didn't die in DMC1, but he certainly must have passed over to another realm, but theres a huge possibility he'll make a return. Yamato was definatly possesed by Vergil, and unlockable artwork showed Vergils exact facial features to be perfect. I'm not sure though if Vergil is still controlled by Mundus, since Dante being the all-knowing badass, i think he'd know the outcome of giving Yamato to Nero and the esence of his brother. Its all confussing at the moment, i sometimes wonder if Vergil had turned for better or making a master plan through Nero. Either way, i dont want Nero to die within the series and to see Kyrie and Nero interact more, instead of scarecrows interfering again But Nero is an awesome character and i want him to make a return defiantly.

wasn't DMC4 carrying on from DMC2?? bcoz DMC3 was supposed to be a prequel?

Okay, thats making it confussing. Whomever said that its continuing after DMC2 is lying. Capcom havent said a damn thing yet, and i dont believe Wiki because Capcom never announced an official timeline for the game either! Like i said before in the other posts DMC2 got screwed up, i think it was after DMC1 as a story, but the age speculation got *bleep*ed. Its going to continue after DMC4 having a more reasonable opinion.

Now hold on. Wiki isn't Capcom, and Capcom never made an official statement, i agree with the timeline up until DMC2. But DMC4 is the last in the series to me, again a different company took over for DMC2 and made Dante look different and age speculation theories changed. To me, it was probably just meant to be a story after DMC1, but it got screwed over. Dante looks older, whiskers, wider mature chin and broader body along with the experience difference and the power behind him. Dante obviously returned at the end of DMC2 after defeating Argosax because you heard Dante's motorbike and Lucia obviously sees him from the shocked expression. Either way, i think DMC4 is the last.
