Yeah, it's pretty much just an aesthetic sorta thing. Same pronunciation but they just look purdy. Plus it does differentiate ban from van バン vs ヴァン. :S

So why do people fight, anyway?
Perhaps the meaning of existence lies within their will to fight.
People feel a sense of accomplishment through battle.
And it’s also a fact that the ones actually fighting are never perceived as being tainted.
