Actually, that is the first prototype Ninja theory sends to capcom but they rejected it feeling that he looks too similar to old dante and would rather create their own game if that was the case. So they decided for Ninja theory to re-design it and the design that was accepted is that shitty design during the 2010 TGS trailer.
Also, yes the sad thing is they didn't implement that rebellion in the game. It remains as a bland generic western sword till in the end.
