It’s almost hard to believe just how well gamers’ wish lists were fulfilled in Devil May Cry 5, which delivered both a cool and heartwarming premise as its story. A lot of questions fans had over the years were answered, with the revelation of Nero’s connection to Dante and Vergil being the most satisfying.
That doesn’t mean all queries were satisfied, as Devil May Cry 5 left certain things ambiguous as well. These are things that were both carried forward from earlier installments and those questions that arose as a result of the plot of this game. Let’s see the questions that have still remain unanswered.
9 What Is The Relationship Status Of Nero And Kyrie?
It was confirmed that Nero and Kyrie were still very much a couple as her vocal cameos had her encourage Nero in his path. They were also shown to be living together, although Kyrie never actually appeared on-screen. The question on fans’ minds is whether the two got married.
The significance of this is the fact that it would make Nero the first married protagonist in the series, with no one from Dante, Vergil, Lady, or Trish ever having gotten hitched. Fans also want to know of Nero and Kyrie’s marital status since it makes Vergil a father-in-law, even possibly setting him up to become a grandfather.
8 Is Vergil Fully Rehabilitated?
It’s a shame that V didn’t last as a permanent character, as he’s been seen as one of the best characters of the past decade. V being a good guy has made gamers question if Vergil has also become fully rehabilitated.
Considering he and Dante were on friendly terms by the end of Devil May Cry 5, and the fact that Vergil actually made a selfless move for once by heading to the demon world, curiosity over Vergil’s status as a good or bad character remains at its peak.
7 How Exactly Did Dante And Vergil Get Estranged?
Based on their personalities, it’s easy to see Dante and Vergil being sorted into Gryffindor and Slytherin, respectively, if they were at Hogwarts. This difference in ideals came down to Vergil feeling abandoned by his mother when demons attacked them when the boys were 8-years-old.
However, Devil May Cry 5 opened up more questions than it answered here, seeing as it’s known that Dante and Vergil were together at least until they were teenagers. Since their mother was already dead by then, it’s still unclear as to what led to their permanent estrangement.
6 How Did Sparda Die?
It’s been two decades since the first game was released and even now fans have no clue just how Sparda died. His return is one of the things we want to see in Devil May Cry 6, although fans can only bring up questions about him at the moment.
Considering Sparda was stated to be at least 2000-years-old, it doesn’t make sense how he died of natural causes suddenly. Even if he did, the circumstances around his demise and the actual event is something that remains a burning question for most.
5 Are Dante And Vergil Trapped In The Demon World For Good?
Dante uttering the “Jackpot!” line at the end of Devil May Cry 5 was a reminder of his penchant for stylish quotes. However, it glossed over the fact that he and Vergil seem to be stuck in the demon world now. Although they do have each other, there’s no indication of how they’ll leave.
With no sequel yet in sight, but with fans still worried about their favorite characters, one of the most common questions is the status of the duo. Vergil confirmed that they needed to cut off the roots from within the demon world and trap themselves, so there’s no clue given over how they can get out.
4 Will Lady And Trish Run Devil May Cry?
The two ladies were bickering over wanting to keep the office at the end of Devil May Cry 5, but the arrival of J.D. Morrison revealed that Lady and Trish would need to work and pay the bills in order to earn the office.
While that did make for a good stinger at the end of the story, it still leaves things unanswered whether the duo has started running the shop. Considering the incredibly difficult missions they needed Dante to handle, it makes things unclear if they could maintain Devil May Cry or not.
3 Does Dante Have Multiple Forms As Well?
When comparing Capcom’s two biggest franchises, it’s generally agreed that Resident Evil is better than Devil May Cry where the horror aspect is concerned. However, the latter series stepped up with Urizen, who was extremely scary to encounter.
Urizen and V being halves of Vergil has led to the idea of Dante pulling the same move. For now, it’s only part of fan theories if Dante could also use his sword or the Yamato to make multiple demonic versions of himself. If so, that would be a very cool aspect to explore later on.
2 Where Was Vergil After He Recovered From Being Nelo Angelo?
Vergil validated his claim to being one of the most powerful characters in the series after not only surviving Mundus but also recovering from his state as Nelo Angelo. According to chronology, Vergil was defeated by Dante in Devil May Cry at least around a decade before Devil May Cry 5.
His whereabouts during this time are shrouded in mystery. This is doubly puzzling when considering how weak he was at the beginning of the fifth game, which begs the question as to what he was up to for so long if he was in such a sorry state.
1 Who Was Nero’s Mother?
The question on every fans’ minds in Devil May Cry 4 was if Vergil was Nero’s father. Now that it’s been confirmed, gamers have shifted to wondering who his mother was. As of yet, speculation is that it was the girl who had eyed Vergil in his visit to Fortuna.
However, this doesn’t explain why Nero was brought up by Credo, then, or why anything about the woman has never been referred to. With Nero having finally met his father, it’s time we got to know the person who gave birth to him.
