yes, yes, holy hell yes
Exactly. I think if Kyrie saw Nero down on the ground in a pool of blood, she would almost certainly try to help him. Whether Vergil would try to attack her or not, depends on if she does get in his way.
To be clear I don't want Kyrie to die, just have her be off-screen the entire game maybe except for the opening and ending.
But in regards to the argument that Nero is too calm in the trailer for Kiryu to be dead, we don't know when this flashback takes place. It might be years before the event of DMCV. So Nero could've had time to process her the death to some extent. Also, I think it's pretty clear towards the end of the trailer that he will lose his shit when he sees Vergil.
I think that's just part of his outfit design. Doubt it has anything to do with Order of the Sword.
Well, I see this Vergil as a corrupt version of the character (that's actually mentioned in the PR as well). So he might do stuff that Vergil wouldn't normally do. Like I doubt normal Vergil would just appear out of the blue and rip his son's arm to get Yamato back. That's way too cold even for Vergil (who does actually care about his family)
So we don't know what this corrupt Vergil is capable of or what his goal might be.
the odds of the "V" character being vergil's good half are fairly high
It's also fine for Kyrie to just vanish offscreen between installments. Happens to plenty of boring love interests. Killing her for shock value would be dumb though.
I've thought for a while that having Kyrie basically perform the Annie Potts/Ghostbusters role in the Devil May Cry shop would be great. she can take calls and get coffee and pizza for everyone.

The game is darker, but it won't be that edgy, thats DmC shit
There is no reason for Kyrie to die, Nero has enough with his arm getting fucking stolen!
And he wouldn't be having so much fun if Kyrie was killed.
Plus they will get married in the ending <3
Fridging is a trope/plot device where women, typically love interests or family of the main male protagonist, are killed off by an antagonist in order to give motivation to said protagonist. Aside from being fairly lazy on the part of the writer, it's also pretty sexist since it reinforces the whole "disposable women" trope by devaluing the value of a female character to simply being motivation for a male character, treating them instead as plot devices to move the male character's arc forwards.

Huh, looks like I was too focused on the right sleeve symbol which isn't covered, found a screen grab here:
But seeing the symbol on the left side is just an identical flip/mirror, this indeed is just his design, otherwise the symbol should stay the same on both sleeves.
Those bug duders are actually pretty creepy close up. Human faces are in there pretty clearly.

The demon tree could be corrupting humans and turning them into demons.
Maybe Vergil kinda "saved" Nero by ripping his arm off because it was getting corrupted?
Vergil did get character development, but I can see him being more on the "more power" side still.

Ya know how some DMC1's enemies were RE4.5 rejects?
I wonder of those space insects were taken from lost concept art for the infected from recent RE games.. the first time I saw them in the trailer it made me think that Capcom gave RE2 the RE6 treatment. LOL.

Yeah, those bug men gave off heavy bio vibes when I first saw the trailer. I tend to agree with Dust up there, these are human turned demons, because we do get those hellborn hell prides from 3 as well.
I think Dante will have different locales
We have barely seen the game so the city scape isn't everything.
We are talking about the same Vergil that had no problem running his own twin brother through with his bro's own sword, because he wanted his amulet half.
Sure, we can assume Vergil knew his brother could survive such a thing, but if that's the case, there's no reason to not assume Vergil couldn't believe his other relation couldn't function after losing an arm.
If he's still under Mundus' control (or whomever is the Demon Emperor now), then that would be one thing. But for now, I think it's just Vergil operating under his usual MO. "I need this, and I ain't asking nicely for it. You can get up by yourself and come after me, if you git gud."
Their heads also look like hairy balls. O_oThose bug duders are actually pretty creepy close up. Human faces are in there pretty clearly.
Link to the tweet please, press release from 4gamer only mentioned demon emperor, no stronger than Mundus stuff.
Saw the tweet, nevermind. I misunderstood that phrase, it's a "demon/demonic force" even more powerful than the demon emperor is stirring, demon emperor (魔帝) always refers to Mundus.

I agree. Cutting off his own son's arm is something Vergil would totally do without hesitation.
Every since DMCV info leaked, this was literally the only thing I needed in my life to survive
That's the funny thing.
Because I can easily imagine a scenario where Vergil would just assume it's his brother's kid, completely forgetting his own torrid affair with a prostitute in Fortuna years ago. Later on in the storyline, pieces are put together or Dante having to spell it out for him and then Vergil's all like.
"Aw, shit."
Since when is Nero's mom a prostitute lol.
I don't think either of them are aware at that point in time. Vergil just homed in on the sword probably and that's all that he is there for.
I'm guessing Nero and Vergil will engage in a full on fight later in the game and will find out their relation when Dante butts in.

"I got a score to settle with that son of a bitch!"
"You watch that tongue boy! Don't talk about your grandma like that!"
"...what?"
Nero being Vergil son is not likely based on their age and it's only fan-fiction tier theory up to this point. Nero is probably the third lost sibling of both, when Eva survived/reincarnated somehow and nobody is aware of that yet. But Vergil doesn't GAF about family and bloodlines for sure, he's only looking after his own personal interest.
I don't know if those are considered canon within the in-game universe.
Apparently the DMC4 novel was confirmed canon, and Vergil is Nero's father in that.
It was a Word of God confirmation I guess it's called, and it was heavily hinted at in Vergils DMC4SE end scene. I suppose it can be deconfirmed, but Occams Razor says Vergil is Nero's papa.
The Nero Vs Dante fight in DMC4 was so fucking good (cutscene and all), I can't wait for Nero Vs Vergil.
lol
Agreed.
I also think we will get a three way fight between Dante, Vergil (or "V") and Nero at some point in the game.
Same, DMC5 literally made this year's E3 one of the best in recent memory.
Yeah I feel the same, this was my game of e3. Just hearing Dante laughing and yelling YEAH was enough for me.
every DMC title (except DMC2) had a son of sparda boss fight and DmC sorely lacked the over the top stylish action display/choreography.
I can't wait for this time around, especially with Itsuno doing his thang, with photorealisitic graphics and returning action choreography artists and cast.
Its gonna be amazing.

im actually totally with you, ive been waiting for YEARS.
and im not dissapointed at all. only thing im dissapointed in is waiting another year or whatever, but atleast it exists now!
And the best part is that we know they will be going all out since they have the time, the money and also don't have to hold anything back for a sequel (since this is the finale for the entire saga).
Even if we agree that Vergil didn't care about Dante and his family at the beginning of DMC3 (which I don't agree with, he fully knew that Dante would survive that, I mean they are twin brothers, he knows what are Dante's powers), Vergil clearly realizes that he was wrong by the end of DMC3 and shows that he cares for Dante when says that Dante needs to get out of demon world if he doesn't wanna get trapped there. (and then jumping off that cliff so Dante would actually leave instead of sticking around to bring Vergil back to human world)
Not to mention, he was willing to share the power of Sparda with Dante at the beginning but Dante refused him and denied their father, so Vergil had no choice but to take the amulet by force. So considering all of that, at the very least, I think would've told Nero to give Yamato back to him, before showing up out of the blue and literally ripping the arm of his son in mere seconds.
Also Vergil is not his usual self in this game. He is corrupted and that corruption will most definitely have a huge impact on his actions. I mean, if the corruption only had a visual effect on Vergil's skin, I doubt Dante would've been so mad that he would go on a vengeance trip for Vergil's sake.
From Capcom's PR:
Not only the 3.1.4.2 book confirms this, but the VAs for Dante, Nero and Vergil confirmed this as well. Reuben (Dante's VA) said that the team expected for people to put the hints together and figure it out but instead people went crazy and thought Nero was Sparda re-incarnated or Vergil somehow stored himself in Nero's arm, etc.
And not to mention the very very clear hint at that red dress girl passing by Vergil in the DMC4SE's opening.
