Nero landed because he is not trying to be Dante. He is rougher, more emotional, and built around a different combat rhythm, which gave the series room to evolve instead of merely imitate itself.

Example
By the time Devil May Cry 5 let him fully cash out his arc, Nero no longer felt like the replacement guy. He felt like a pillar.

Why it matters
Nero matters because succession only works when the new lead brings a different kind of heat.
