COULD "V" BE LADY'S SON??? Read on to find out!!!!
Alright so it's common knowledge at this point that there are three playable characters in DMC5 and they are all pictured in the box art for the game:
The character in the center is Nero who was featured heavily in the DMC5 trailer, the character on the left is Dante and the character on the right is the brand new character that has not yet been revealed. One of the earlier leaks listed him as "V", many people thought that "V" would in fact be Vergil but on close inspection this new character doesn't really look anything like Vergil.
The 3rd character is supposed to be able to summon demon bodyguards as a core game play mechanic. He seems to be second character pictured in that image, the top one being Dante with the Sparda sword and the third picture being Nero with his new robotic arm.
Now this is where things get spicy. Earlier on, Hideaki Itsuno-san who is the director of DMC5 and Matt Walker the producer claimed in an interview that there are hints about this third mysterious character in the official DMC5 Nero battle theme "Devil Trigger". Here's the interview where he gives us the challenge:
This is the music video in question:
We initially found some motifs of a woman and her baby in doll forms in the music video but couldn't really make much of it:
In terms of lyrics, the music is all about a demon trying to get out from a body. Some people have theorized that it could be Vergil trapped in the body of "V" and trying to get out of it while "V" is trying to contain him or something.
But today we had a MAJOR breakthrough courtesy of the guys at Reddit originating from this thread:

There are 4 image frames in the trailer that has parts of the sentence "I have no name" in there that you need to splice together to form that image there. "I have no name" refers to the 3rd character in that he is called "V" because he has no name, obviously.
But more importantly, "I have no name" is what Lady says to Dante after he asks for her name in Devil May Cry 3. This could mean that Lady is in come way connected to this third mysterious character.
Of course some fans had to come up with some crazy theories about this new character being Lady's son!

Considering the DMC3 quote is not correct, perhaps you're barking up the wrong tree a little bit.
Did you have a look at the DMC3 manga, though?
There's a line in that where Vergil says "I have no name to give to you, demon."
In fact much of the plot appears to revolve around demons sealed away by Sparda who need to retrieve their lost names in order to be released.
