Foolishness! Don't demons know that stabbing Nero only makes him angrier??

This it's maybe fun.
Encounter body and soul, and even the son into the bargain like that, yes.
In my opinion Virgil dormant (or fights it with his own shadow) in the shell Nelo Angelo.

That's not gonna work !
Even as Nelo Angelo, Vergil is still way stronger than Nero is... If he was able to pull the blade with his bare hands then he can probably stop it the same way.

My poor Nero! so does this mean that he won't be having his devil trigger if Yamato's extracted out of him? though he's fighting pretty good now I'm still scared of what may happen next.
His face in panel 2 is so heart-breaking. I really hope you don't kill Nero I mean he's a brat and all but we still love him, he's our little badass. Β

I've been in anticipation every step of the way!!!! If we never get a DMC 5 I'll definitely think of this as the next step in the story

He may not be at Dante's level but there is no denying that Nero is a badass.Β Nice to see he still has the habit of calling people who stab him through the chest "jackass" even if Vergil is way cooler than Agnus.Β Really love the coloring with the faded green and red really creates a surreal feeling to the panelsΒ

Thank you!

Well if you need a humor I'm sure you could just throw in some incredibly awkward father-son bonding.Β In any case good thing Nero is there to step up until Dante can get ahold of himself

Nero is definitely from the Sparda line; acts just like Dante lol seriously though, Nero is a total badass!

O_O;;; Woah... I can't really say anything else for this latest strip. Β Aside from Vergil really pushing everyone to the limit.

Well what do you know? Nero still has his sarcastic cheeky attitude.

XDDD Nero showing people he's a bad ass. Nice~

I really, really like what you've done here with the colors! it's all subtly disturbing, this ocre and mint green against the redish pink, and yet it works perfectly together to make it all feel spectral and very much alive at the same time; if that makes any sense. I might have a fever right now lmao.
The last panel is wonderful, too! so intense! and the details around the eyes is stunning *x* go bby Nero, go!Β

Omg bb!! *CUDDLES YOU IN BED* A fever? Weh, I'm sorry, that sounds awful ;___; *pets and feeds water and paracetamol* I hope you feel better soon! u,u
And yeah! Gosh, I have such a hard time with colours. I never know when too much is too much until after I've mucked everything up XD But I'm glad you think they're working!! I need to draw more green-red combos, they're my faaave~

And hey it's true you love these! 8D I'm looking forward to more amazingly colored and blood-splattered pages

XDDDD!!
I don't mind the enthusiasm but I do feel restricted in answering, given that the scene is still ongoing and I don't want to spoil XDD Ah, the downfall of extended weekly comic updates!
Thank you hun! *happy* It means a lot coming from you TuT

sobbbbbb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

terrifying and badass, even while impaled through the stomach...Nero is DEFINITELY some sort of Sparda spawn. XD

High five to that!

Ohhhhh nero vs vergil :>>> can't wait. Nice chapter as always~~ keep it up
And for the love of Sparda, vergil snap out of it! (ΰ² nΰ² ) you need to defeat mundus

Oh lordy, angry DT'ed Nero, I love it! I really like how you only really give Nero fangs when he's angry and/or DTed. And is it just me, or is his DT a little more glowy than you drew it last time? If so, would this have to do with him being in Hell this time?
Man, now I'm realizing that somehow, even though its the same grayscale as usual, for some reason Nero seems to have a sort of pallor to his face. Congrats on that!
π: 0 β©: 1
Ooh, that's a good theory! I hadn't meant to make him more or less glowy, but I love the idea of him being more powerful because they're very near a fully open Hell Gate. (In theory, this is the first time he's full out DT'd in the comic -- previously he'd just used his devil arm, which is kinda glowy). The "near Hell" thing is also why Dante's DT lasted for such a long time, though I guess it's hard to tell in comic format XD
Thanks for the lovely comment

still not over how vergil's shadow in his dmc4 cutscene is strikingly similar to nero's dt
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah! I guess maybe they really DID intend for Vergil's soul to be embedded in Yamato, exactly like a devil arm. Hence why Nero's DT looks heavily influenced by it.
I kind of really dig that -- Vergil's defeated soul having been turned into a functional devil arm via Yamato -- and if I were to do this comic again from the start, I'd probably go that route instead of the convoluted "he was summoned by Agnus but he's kind of human because his demon powers are locked in hell" plot I went with instead. Alas! XD One can only go forward!

And Nero gets his Devil Trigger out. Awesome.

GO GO NERO YOU BADASS BUB YOUΒ Β
*sits back and noms popcorn* anyone want some? Time for Mundus-Meanie to find out how strong the kiddo really is C: it's all in the blood, you know, everything stays in the family C:
And I'm still 150% sure that this Nelo isn't Vergil. Because Verge might've fallen for Mundus once upon a time, but this time he's got much more to fight for. I can't and won't accept that in his little black heart some spark of at least famillial bond didn't bloom when Dante and Nero nursed him back to health. Verge is proud to a fault, stubborn like hell (they both got that from their mama), all true, but I really believe that if he was given something to latch onto, to feel that he belongs somewhere, he wouldn't just give up to some misshapen-stinky-jelly blob with delusions of grandeur.
Can't wait for more, Karaii!Β Β

Focus, Kyrie, FOCUS!
(Karii, I'm really liking how you are unfolding this fight.)

Thank you, friend! 
But I'm glad you are enjoying it!!! I'm having a lot of fun drawing it

Totally innaccurate, we all know that clothes don't get damaged in DMC, just look at Dante after being impaled by Nero and Alastor. You're slipping Karaii.
On a more serious note I don't think yamato has much choice who wields it as I'm pretty sure it wouldn't like Sanctus or Agnus and it was able used by them. I think Nero's just learning from experience.Β
On another note are you choosing to represent Nero and Vergil's powers as more green on purpose? I know they typically go for blue but is this a stylistic choice like the like the tendency for black and white images?Β
Are you choosing green because it makes a good contrast with all the red?Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Hehe, yeah, I know clothes don't get ripped up in the game. They also really don't bleed very much? But I'm calling on artistic license! I love drawing blood and torn up garments *smirk* It's my comic and I do what I want, Thor!
Re: Yamato, I think it DOES actually have a bit of choice in who wields it, sort of like Alastor in DMC1? If you are worthy of it, which is up to the sword itself, then it will allow you to wield it to its maximum potential. It won't dimension-cut for just anyone. But it's still a sword at the end of the day, so even a human could theoretically use it to cut things. That's my head canon, anyway.
As for the "green not blue", you got it in one! I like how the red contrasts against the green best. I was getting annoyed at how many colours there were on the pages when I introduced the blue. See, originally I just wanted a black and white comic with maximum 1 extra color. That's why for about a hundred and fifty pages or so, the comic was pretty much grayscale with the eyes coloured. But then I got tired of seeing so much stark white and I decided to use a nice neutral green while drawing, and it kind of grew on me so I decided to keep it in the finished pages. Really made the characters pop without taking away too much attention.
But then Karaii got ambitious and started adding red and orange and blue and yellow and dear God, that was WAY TOO MANY COLOURS. I can't deal 
Still, I totally get why people are annoyed it's green and not blue. *shrugs* If it helps, imagine I'm colour blind and see green and blue the same way and ya'll just have to deal with my inability to differentiate blue.

I do appreciate it, though personally I will admit I am one of those people who tend to prefer the blues (favourite colour and all) and really found the blues aesthecially pleasing in the games (one of the reasons I like Nero so much his design). But I do see what you mean on the artistic front. For instance you made the aura behind Nero's Devil trigger red because the contrast would be very difficult to do right with just a single colour.Β
I originally thought the greens were a sign that Vergils power was different after the whole incident or it was evolving (jut like dante's Dt's glow differently between games) so having Yamato and Nero which I heavily associate with a almost electric blue go green brought it to my attention.Β
Okay, I'll give you that on the Yamato bit. Question is in your comic's canon where was Yamato while Vergil was Nelo Angelo? Was it transformed into Nelo's Zweihander and broken when Dante defeated him? Or was it broken by Mundus and was that blade a replacement? Could it have been something else?
π: 0 β©: 1
In this comic, the Yamato was broken when Vergil was defeated by Mundus at the end of DMC3. This was both symbolic and a physical manifestation of the breaking of Vergil's spirit, and the severing of his power. Mundus cast the broken Yamato aside and presumably it somehow made its way into the human world. How it did so is a fun mystery to contemplate. Meanwhile, Vergil was corrupted into his Nelo Angelo form in Hell. Nelo Angelo's Zweihander is not Yamato, but it IS a physical manifestation of what was left of Vergil's demonic power. It's his Devil Arm, I guess? Were he to be properly defeated and conquered, like any other strong-powered demon that leaves behind a Devil Arm, I like to think that's what would remain.
That's the logic this comic is following, anyway. Now that I've thought about it more over the years, I think Yamato is Vergil's Devil Arm. *shrugs* But the comic doesn't follow this idea. I wrote the plot in 2008 when I was 16, so it's been a while XD
