#the DMC4 novel has Nero initially constantly saying how the whole Sparda thing is absolute BS and it's so funny

I know Vergil's situation is accidentally hilarious but I would like to take a moment to appreciate the comedy that is DMC4 for Nero

Nero was basically an atheist to the whole Savior thing, he didn't believe in it at all even though Kyrie's family was extremely devoted to it to the point that the reason her parents showed interest in Nero was because he had the hair color that Sparda allegedly had and he did not sit through a single sermon. Literally, that scene at the beginning of DMC4 is the only time he's been to this ceremony for the Knights and that was for Kyrie.

And then by the end of the game, Sparda is not only someone who actually existed and the whole myth was true but Kyrie's parents were spot on about him being a direct descendant of Sparda. He'd later find out that he's not just a descendant but HIS GRANDSON.
