Anime and Manga Differences

• Seiji talks to Yapool over his communicator instead of talking to Yuko Minami.
• Edo is not seen in his human disguise.
• The conversation between Seiji and Yapool is a lot less tense:
  • Seiji already knew who the perpetrators of the airplane incident were.
  • Yapool never reveals he made the Biological Weapons.
• In the manga, Seiji talks to Yapool with an arm missing since Moroboshi sliced it off.
• In the manga, Yapool never sees Edo standing in the street. Instead, he was in the interrogation room with the others, with Shinjiro being absent.
• Moroboshi takes Yapool in after he runs over to the SSSP. This does not happen in the manga.
• Bemular's conversation with Endo about the barcoded corpses is omitted.
• The ending of Yapool's interrogation is slightly cut short.
• In the manga, Shinjiro shows up slightly late to the raid on the house instead of being deployed together with Moroboshi.
• The fight against Ace Killer starts differently. In the manga, Moroboshi uses a cloaking function and goes into the house alone, uncovering the storage of barcoded corpses in the process before the house explodes.
• Alien Woovelve does not appear.
• Ace Killer does not have a human disguise.
• The eyes under Ace Killer's visor are never shown.
• Ace Killer's footsoldiers never aim their laser sights at Shinjiro when they first appear.
• The flashback scene with Seiji and Yuko is cut short.
