#Devil may cry 4 tv tropes series

In the Special Edition, the opening cutscene for the Lady/Trish campaign starts off as a re-enactment and expansion of the regular story's midgame cutscene in Mission 12 wherein Dante, Lady and Trish are talking about the Order of the Sword.This choice leads to the Devil May Cry tradition of Dante being impaled by Rebellion at least once a game. That said, he does seem to be getting a bit annoyed as his Devil Trigger flickers on a couple times before he decides to not just annihilate the poor kid with it. When Nero has Dante on the ground and is repeatedly punching him in the face, it's obvious (if it wasn't already) that Dante has been holding back immensely.

Dante's response? Silently pulling out Rebellion, stabbing it in the ground, and fake revving the hilt like Nero just did.

In the sword section tutorial battle after Sanctus's assassination, Nero revs his standard Order sword and asks Dante why he's packing a huge sword if he's not going to use it.

The concept art depicts Nero in a full-form Devil Trigger rather than a specter, so that juuuust might happen in an upcoming game if the idea is kept.

Alternately, if the general thought is that his arm got possessed after the demon attack and the result ends up being the Devil Bringer, then seeing as how the voice inside it clamors for more power, presumably, it may spread to his body if he feeds it more demonic energy.

Hence his line: 'And if I become a demon. If his arm turned like that after getting bitten by a demon, Nero has a reason to suspect it might spread.

Is the 'demonization' going to spread throughout his body? (the cutscene where he unlocks his Devil Trigger for the first time seems to imply that it will, or at least, that he thinks it will).

According to the art book, it seems like it goes up to his shoulder.

How much of Nero's arm is taken up by the Devil Bringer?.

Yeah, this is more general curiosity than something that bugs me, but something I'd kinda like to know nonetheless:

You do have a point in that Credo is the only member of the Order who at least tries melee attacks, since Sanctus and Agnus seem content to mostly just throw fireballs/Cutlasses and occasionaly make half hearted swipes with Sparda/a Gladius.

Couldn't the one redeemable member of the Order of the Sword survive? Or at least get an impressive death scene? What really annoyed me was that he died like a bitch. Also, Agnus had to summon other monsters to put up a decent fight, so Credo seems to be the toughest of Order on pure combat ability. Actually, Agnus was in charge of giving people their devil transfromations, so he doubtlessly tricked himself out to the best of his ability, and if I remember correctly, Sanctus was just an old guy in a bubble without Sparda.

Most likely, he didn't put as much effort into powering up his demon form as the others did.

Nero's is unique in that it can actually build up the amounts of fuel in it to unleash in a single blast) so that would compensate for his human-level strength. Credo's sword had the exact same fuel-injection system as the Red Queen(all Order knights have that kind of sword.

Credo's strength wouldn't have had anything to do with his sword abilities in demon form.

The other reason is that the Credo fight is hard enough as it stands (beat it on Hell or Hell if you want to do it for the challenge), so making it much harder would have turned Credo into That One Boss, even moreso than he is now. While Lady gets a bit of a pass because her arm strength doesn't affect how hard her bullets hit, the same's not true for how hard Credo can swing a sword.

I'm guessing this weakening was because of two factors: As a human, he has human strength.

Sad things, since Credo was a fairly likable character in this trooper's opinion. Considering what's said about him, you'd expect Credo to be as good with the sword as Lady with guns, yet he never shows that much ability. (When playing through the game I always switch to DMD just to fight him and it still isn't good enough)

Seriously, he's by far my favorite character in the series and it just drives me nuts at how pathetic he is. So why is it the one fight they have in human form shows him being about as weak as a kitten? Even when he turns into Angelo Credo he still isn't all that hard when he should be slaughtering Nero and being well matched with Dante.

He is supposedly the best swordsman in the Order who taught Nero everything he knows.
