I know that in the original P5 God’s and Evil Judgement were called Divine Judgement and Demonic Decree, but I’m not saying you’re wrong, as I have yet to encounter these moves in Royal, and I know that some moves, such as Snipe and Cripple now being called Gun Boost and Amp, so I don’t know if these were changed.
Also, Morning Star is not a DLC move, as no DLC persona can learn it, and Lucifer isn’t one. I also seem to recall Satanael being able to learn Black Viper, and am unsure about Satan.
I also know that in the original P5, Black Viper could be inherited, and have heard that it isn’t true in Royal, though I have yet to conclusively determine that.
In conclusion, there’s a lot of what I believe to be confusion about move names that might have been different in past Persona/SMT, what moves are exclusive to persona, and I also think that grouping the original P5 and Royal into one list is redundant and unhelpful, as there are clearly differences between the 2, and the distinction isn’t made clear enough here.
Pretty sure Morning Star isn’t a DLC move.
It’s not Light nor Darkness, but “Bless” and “Curse”.
For the “Ragnarok”, I think it’s called “Inferno”, “Nifiheim” is called “Diamond Dust”, “El Jihad” is surely called “Wild Thunder”.
“Burning Petals” is called Blazing Hell.
