History Heartwarming / DevilMayCry5

* In a way, the factor that one of the first things that Nero brings up to Kyrie is that he might have a family. Not just the family of Kyrie and Credo, but an actual biological family of his father, Vergil, and his uncle, Dante. The factor that his first reaction is to get them to not kill each other, which also happens to awaken his actual Devil Trigger, it wouldn't be so far a stretch to say that Nero's Devil Trigger, as it was with Kyrie, was born from ThePowerOfLove.

* After getting saved by the girls, Lady tries to cheer up Nero, who just learned that the one responsible for all this mess is none other than Vergil, his father. Though she tries her best, an angered Nero flies out from the van to stop this sibling rivalry.

** The fact that Nero's Devil Trigger awakened not through physical trauma, like it did for Dante, but through his desire to save his newfound family from itself is pretty heartwarming on its own.

** Dante's fight with the familiars, specifically Griffon, is even more poignant in regards of the first game. As Griffon was one of the few foes that Dante [[WorthyOpponent genuinely respected]], despite their enmity for one another, so much so that Dante's motivation for going after Mundus for far more personal reasons started with Mundus callously killing Griffon off in his finest moment for [[YouHaveFailedMe failing him one too many times]]. In a way, the fight with Griffon and Dante's subsequent respect as he's dying comes across more of the [[OutWithABang proper send-off that Dante felt the demon deserved at last]].

* It may have taken about two decades, but finally, the sons of Sparda have reconciled... in a way. They are still rivals to the end, but their fighting has become more of a friendly competition. Dante starts keeping scores, and Vergil, surprisingly, plays along. The game ends with the two of them switching back and forth between fighting demons and fighting themselves.

* V saying "I'm glad to see you look so well." to Lady is quite sweet when considering the fact that the last time Vergil saw her, she was dejectedly sobbing to herself in the Temin-ne-gru's library.

* If the main menu screens after completing the game are taken as canon, then Dante and Vergil eventually ''did'' find their way out of Hell and reunite with the gang after all.

-->'''Nero:''' I couldn't save Credo. To this day, I hate myself for not having enough strength. But this time is different, I swear. '''I'M NOT LETTING YOU DIE!!!''' *''rushes forward, awakening his new and complete Devil Trigger, regenerating a new human arm in the process''*

* After Nero fights down Vergil, Vergil decide they must go through the portal and seal it in the Demon World. While Nero cannot be convinced of the idea because it will seal them off from the Human World, Dante tells him that it's only because of him they can go, because he is the one they can trust to look after the Human World, taking over for him.

** Additionally, Nero remembers [[BigBrotherMentor Credo]] and recalls his regret for being unable to save him, while swearing he ''will'' save Dante and Vergil from themselves.

'''Nero:''' Vergil... V... whatever you call yourself... Dante's not gonna die here, and neither are you. Do you have a problem with that?
