how do I get Nero's human arm back?

[Kate Hanami]

after the final boss, Nero get's a "Prototype" arm that changed nothing, Devil Bringer worked just fine in DMC4
if was a excuse to not discard a main mechanic of the game, why was the cutscene right before Nico was saying "I put a lot of effort into making those arms and now you don't need it?"

Nero's human arm shows up when you don't have any breakers equipped. That's all it is. That being said, now you have access to Nero's old devil buster grabs, as well as the new Bringer Knuckle mechanic, so that's something.

oh? I wonder what would happen when Nico toss a "prototype" arm if I have a empty magazine in mission 20... I'm getting that Vergil Boss equips a hidden 5th magazine or something, would also explain why he have Psuedo-Super custome equeiped

I think the canon is that Nico modifies the arms so that they just go over Nero's human arm now, instead of replacing it.

The implication is they become prototype arms (even though they're identical looking) after you beat the game and they just slot over your real arm instead of being full prosthetics

Are you asking why you can still equip the buster arm if you have nero's devil bringer and don't need it? I can only speculate, but I'm guessing that they didn't want to go through the trouble of removing the buster arm after you beat the game.

As for it not looking like a glove, that's because it's not really a glove. They're more like gauntlets. Realistically, it's too much work to make an entirely separate model for each arm, so they probably just left it the same. Since we can't see inside the devil arms, it's easy to just tell the audience (us) that the insides are hollow now and just go over nero's real arm so he can still use them.

I wouldn't think too much on it, since it's really just a way to let the players have both the devil arms and his devil bringer, which I love.

I was saying that if the prototype devil breakers go on top of nero's arm (A.K.A. a glove), Buster Gaum makes no sense because there's no ay it fit around a human's arm having that shape

Using the Buster Arm would immediately tear it off Nero's body, Overture would shock him and break, it's just Devil May Cry. Also they didn't want to model new arms

[Black Lamb, Rock Enjoyer]

After the final boss, Nico literally says that she modded the arms, in which are implied to be demon magic gauntlets now, but you'd know that by just paying attention.

But you're really throwing a fit on DMC about realism? A world about magic and demons? Really? These Devil Breakers are literally made and operated from demons.

If we look closely at the final cutscene, when Nero wears the "Prototype", we will see that his hand turns into a flow of energy and loses its physical form)
Apparently, now Nero can control this process.

someone said he can now summon a "human" arm at will now, the same way Dante can be summoned or Spiral Swords, or how Dante summons Yamato in DMC4 but Vergil need to hold it in DMC3
so yeah, I thing demon magic is as good as an explanation as "Nanomachines Jack"

Actually, in the ending scene, he somehow unsummons his arm before putting the breaker. So it may very well be demon magic shenanigans

I think it's more like he fuses them together
