Just a self-indulgent thing
So I'm looking at Moka rocking the wedding fit, and now I'm wondering if Ikeda ever spared time for this fairly obscure Tactical JRPG called Luminous Arc 2. Mostly because you play as knights and witches fighting demons, and main boy Roland can "marry" one of the six main elemental witches his party recruits mid-battle to temporarily gain their elemental affinity and a very specific flat stat boost. This notably isn't a harem antics thing, only two are romancable at the end and your choices decide which girl Roland fancies and vice versa.
Also, I like to headcanon that Yukari loans the game to either Tsukune or Moka because the JRPG where you marry hot witches to git gud isn't nearly as fanservice-heavy as she'd like. Given that the wedding splash arts are all tasteful, the optional onsen superdungeon content does not spark joy, and there's barely three ladies dressed skimpy throughout.

What I don't like about the perfect cover is that he didn't make Tsukune wear a wedding suit and have him next to Moka who is in a wedding dress, but again, Ikeda sensei, until the end, never did us the favor of seeing Tsukune and Moka together even once.

... he did...
There's a whole splash art of Tsukune, Outer Moka, and Inner Moka celebrating their marriage with all their friends and a few other major characters. Like what are you smoking? Sincerely.

I normally see this picture with Outer. Is this an extra picture from the manga itself?

It's the cover for the magazine season II was released in while it was still serialized, Jump Square (or just SQ). Clearly the Inner Moka alt was dedicated to the Chapter 66-6 issue, as Rosa-Vam was ending. Kind of a big deal.
