The reason for the shared name is a mild plot point - Dante and Vergil's childhood home was in this city, and Dante took a new name to stay incognito, at his mother's order.
The game is set in "Red Grave City", which bears the name of Dante's pseudonym "Tony Redgrave" (etched on Ebony and Ivory by Nico's grandmother, the gunsmith who created them).The last tidbit is also a reminder that in their youth, Vergil and Dante were identical until Vergil slicked back his hair. Dante slicks his hair back to resemble Vergil, just like in the complete animation of his Dark Slayer Style pose from 4 (but this time, the hairstyle can be retained). He creates a heart logo using the red blades summoned by his own Devil Sword, just like how he also carved a huge heart in a Hellgate monolith using the Lucifer's red blades. is this!", referencing a part of his speech to Agnus questioning him about the thing that humans have but demons lack. Dante's Special Provocation taunt from completing Bloody Palace is a three-fold reference to 4 and also a subtle nod to 3.On the counter where she does business with the heroes, you can see a miniature Divinity Statue off to the right, referencing her role as this game's shopkeeper similar to the Divinity Statues' god of time and space. The series-staple Divinity Statues that serve as mid-mission upgrade/shop hubs also show up inside the Qliphoth levels. Nico brings the van around at a pay phone so that the player could purchase abilities and items.
