Why are we rooting for Javert?

Mao Mao watching Adorabat and Badgerclops playing games while he polishes his sword with a warm smile on his face

>The guy who exclusively uses a katana vs the guy who has a bunch of different weapons at his disposal

No, Vergil's got a katana, is way more serious, has feelings of inferiority that run so deep he resorts to seeking power in order to never be hurt ever again.

Badgerclops being Dante makes more sense. Badgerclops has more gadgets and abilities than Mao's more focused style, he takes things too lightly and just wants to eat pizza and lounge all day

There are too many parallels between Mao Mao and Vergil. Both were given katanas by their respective fathers, who they both idolize and strive to be just like them, both are fathers just trying figure things out (though one's much better at it than the other), both have misconceptions of what it is they're actually trying to achieve which may or may not ultimately lead to their downfall.

I was thinking more of how Mao the same levels of cocky as Dante but you two have a point there.

And unlike Vergil, Mao Mao actually stopped Adorabat from having her arm cut off, so thats another point for him

>Mao Mao goes full Spinel on them after they come back

Now I'm thinking about how Adorabat and Nero are both hot-blooded outcasts who have a violent streak and aren't as adept at combat as their contemporaries but can still go toe to toe with them under certain circumstances

He's more likely to shut them off. in a "you have failed me for the last time" fashion.
