 In the costume's trailer, the Dante [[Mii]] is shown using [[Gale Stab]], a clear reference to [https://devilmaycry.fandom.com/wiki/Stinger Stinger], one of his most iconic moves. The Dante Mii is then seen fighting [[Piranha Plant]], possibly referencing [https://devilmaycry.fandom.com/wiki/Echidna Echidna], a plant-like boss from ''Devil May Cry 4'', using [[Stone Scabbard]] on it, this one referencing two of his most commonly used attacks from the ''Devil May Cry'' series, [https://devilmaycry.fandom.com/wiki/Rebellion#Movesets High Time] for the initial launch and [https://devilmaycry.fandom.com/wiki/Rebellion#Movesets Helm Breaker] for the downward stab. The trailer then shows the Dante Mii fighting Dark Samus, possibly as a reference to [https://devilmaycry.fandom.com/wiki/Doppelganger Doppelganger] from ''Devil May Cry 3'', as both it and [[Dark Samus]] serve as evil doppelgangers of Dante and Samus, respectively. Dark Samus' appearance as an enemy could also be a nod to [https://devilmaycry.fandom.com/wiki/Nelo_Angelo Nelo Angelo], a boss in the first ''Devil May Cry'' game with dark blue pulsating lines running across his armor.

 ==Trivia==
 *As with other [[Mii]] Costumes based on characters from primarily M-rated franchises, the logo for ''Devil May Cry'', the series Dante hails from, is absent in the American version of his [[Mii Costume]] reveal trailer, being replaced with a wordmark featuring the character's name. Unlike previous examples, this change was also present in the UK presentation. This also applies to [[Dragonborn]] and [[Doom Slayer]].
