I hope BOTH Sparda and Rebellion are in. Both are distinct swords with different ways of using them and different utilities.

Sparda at the end of DMC1 was given to Trish to use instead of Dante. If anything Capcom didn't replace ForceEdge/Sparda as Dante's main sword they replaced Alastor as Dante's main sword. All concept and promo art for Dante had him wielding Alastor as his main weapon. Sparda is treated as the ultimate deux ex sword that Dante for some unexplained unholy reason decides to leave in Hell along with the amulet that unlocks its full potential next to what he thought was a dead Trish. Yup DMC1 Dante is best, smartest Dante. If going forward that the DMC series had focused more on Trish rather than changing female leads all the time she probably would've held Sparda most of the time while Dante mained Alastor (Probably due to balance might as well give the weaker character the superior weapon). Granted going forward Sparda relatively was used by Trish (even in spin-off titles like Viewtiful Joe and MvC3).
DMC2 - Trish was a bonus playable character who can use Sparda.
DMC3 - Sparda was more pivotal to the main story than DMC3 and Force Edge was usuable in a skin for Dante and for Vergil.
DMC4 - Sparda played a role in the story, used by the final boss, and used by the bonus playable character Trish in the Special Edition.
DMC5 - Dante might be using Sparda again to combat the most powerful foe he has ever faced.
I honestly think Capcom (outside maybe DMC2) is using Sparda wisely. Won't it be repetitive if the plot always revolved around Sparda or always ends up being Dante's solution to solving problems like Chaos Emeralds in Sonic? Last thing we want is to start taking writing cues from Sonic.
