The 'Featuring Dante From The Devil May Cry Series' meme originates from the European box art of the 2004 PlayStation 2 game Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne. To promote the inclusion of Capcom's demon hunter as a guest character, a prominent silver badge was added to the cover, which stood out awkwardly against the game's dark aesthetic. Over time, the gaming community turned this seal of quality into a recurring gag, Photoshopping it onto everything from unrelated movie posters to everyday household items. It symbolizes the absurdity of corporate guest appearances and has become a shorthand for 'improving' any piece of media by adding an unexpected DMC crossover.
