How do the Devil May Cry covers compare?

Start with what can be shown. The three North American boxes below are the verified faces of the trilogy in the West, and each takes a different bet: the first sells an action portrait, the second sells a stare, the third sells a silhouette against the moon. Japan's boxes could not be verified from an open source in this pass, so, following the Library's rule, they are not pictured from rumor. What can be documented about the regional editions is documented, and it turns out the interesting differences are mostly in the words and the packaging rather than the art.

Three verified examples. In Japan, the third game is titled simply Devil May Cry 3: the subtitle Dante's Awakening exists only in the West. The Japanese and Korean releases of Devil May Cry 2 printed combo charts for both heroes on the inside of the case inlay, a move list where Western buyers got blank paper. And the second game's cover was a rush job its own artist disowned in part: Capcom illustrator Naru Omori produced four candidate covers in about three weeks and has said he was content with only the one that shipped.
