* FantasyCounterpartCulture: Nearly all references to foreign countries and customs from the book are replaced with "Eastern Space." Rome is replaced with Luna, a city on the moon that resembles a cross between old world Italy and modern day New Orleans. Haydee, who was an ethnic Turk in the book, is shown as a [[OurElvesAreDifferent pale faced, pointy eared alien]] from a civilization that is a cross between Middle Eastern and Chinese influences.

* IncestSubtext:
** The manga implies that Albert is looking for a father figure in the Count because he has issues with his authoritarian real father. He also has an interesting relationship with his mother.
** There's Andrea who takes this to the logical extreme: [[spoiler:although he doesn't kill his father he gives him a poison that destroys his mind, he has sex with his mother and tries to rape his half-sister.]]

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalProtagonist: The anime adapts the story of ''Literature/TheCountOfMonteCristo'' largely from the perspective of Albert de Morcerf rather than the titular count. In the source material, Albert is a very minor character that the Count encounters during his quest for revenge. Here, the Count is the villain and the story centers around Albert betraying the Count and then dealing with his own family matters.
