#AUGH that's such a good scene in Visions of V

[ryanthel0ser]

Both Nero and Vergil share that pursuit of power, with Vergil having it be his driving force in life and Nero literally hearing a voice telling him he needs more power once his devil arm activates.

The difference between them is the core reason as to why they pursue power.

Vergil pursues power because he wants to eliminate any weakness within him after the demons attacked him as a child. He feels that he is the only one he can rely on and because his weakness is why he can't protect himself. It's a selfish pursuit, something he acknowledges during his time as V.

Nero pursues power because he wants to be able to protect the people he cares about. "I will endure the exile, anything to protect her" (DMC4) and "I couldn't protect Credo, to this day I still hate myself for not having enough strength" (DMC5). It's a selfless pursuit, something that stems from his own selfless nature.

#they're two sides of the same coin #i need to deep delve into DMC5 again before I say this for certain but maybe Vergil learned from Nero's need for power during his time as V #now im thinking about Nero saving V from Malphas #AUGH that's such a good scene in Visions of V #dmc #dmc nero #dmc vergil #devil may cry
