- According to the liner notes booklet contained with the Japanese DVD of the film, there are six known versions of the film.
- The first was a draft version that was hastily created to meet a deadline that the film had to be shown to the distributor, Nippon Herald, for their perusal by August 1972. This version, which contains temporary placeholder shots made by a team separate from the main crew, has never been shown to the public.
- The second version was completed by the end of 1972, and premiered at the 1973 Berlin International Film Festival. Aside from the placeholder shots of the first version being replaced with material created by the main team, the scene in which Jeanne makes her pact with the Devil was immediately followed by a 5-minute live-action montage shot by Daido Moriyama depicting sexual acts performed in parks and red light establishments. This version also ends with the Devil laughing in the crowd after Jeanne's execution. Because this ending was poorly-received at the Festival, Eiichi Yamamoto decided to alter it in later versions.
- The third version was used early on during the film's Japanese theatrical release. It omitted Moriyama's live-action montage, but still retained the Devil's laughter at Jeanne's death.
- The fourth version, created partway through the Japanese theatrical run, removed the Devil's laughter, and featured an instrumental version of the film's theme song over the ending. An edited presentation of this version was used for some TV broadcasts.
- The fifth version was edited for an attempted 1979 re-release. In an effort to appeal to female college students, Yamamoto cut 8 minutes' worth of material from the original camera negative, removing most of the film's scenes of sexual violence. This version also made alterations to the film's ending: a newly-animated shot of female bystanders at Jeanne's execution, whose faces morph into Jeanne's visage, was added, as well as a final montage of title cards describing the role of women in the 1789 French Revolution, with the film's final shot being of Eugène Delacroix's painting "Liberty Leading the People". Some revisions were also made to the film's opening credits roll. This version was released on VHS by Pony Canyon in the early 1980s.
- The sixth version was created in 1986 for the film's VHS re-release and first release on LaserDisc. Although otherwise based on the 1979 re-release, it reinstates all of the sexual content omitted from that version. This is the version that has remained in circulation since, and was restored in 4K for its 2016 re-release.
