Aku no Kyōten → Lesson of the Evil – Since many English-language websites such as IndieWire, The Hollywood Reporter, Screen, Twitch Film and Variety refer to the film as Lesson of the Evil, I guess it is "the title more commonly recognized by English readers" (WP:NC-FILM#Foreign-language films). 123.225.2.154 (talk) 16:11, 17 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Support: The nominator said it all. The move is in compliance with guidelines, and the references help establish that the English title is the more commonly recognized one. Erik (talk | contribs) 18:48, 19 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Lesson of the Evil → Lesson of Evil – According to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)#Foreign-language films, preference should be given to titles of films used for national releases in the US/CA, UK/IE and AU/NZ regions when one exists. Although the official English title of this film in Japan and other Asian countries is Lesson of the Evil, its release on disc and online in the UK and Ireland is titled Lesson of Evil (which is also more grammatically correct than the English title used in Asia). Lesson of the Evil can be mentioned as another official title in the opening paragraph of the article.

Oppose because reviewing this films' reviews, it looks like Variety,Screen Daily, and The Hollywood Reporter (the most reliable sources among the reviews) write "Lesson of the Evil". That same title is repeated in other articles by these periodicals, as seen here, for example. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 13:19, 8 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
