* KissOfDistraction: During the fight in Gartland's main control center, Luchs retreats to reboot the main systems by directly hooking herself to it. To stop her Cherry tells Otaru that he must confuse her emotionally. In desperation, the first thing that comes to Otaru's mind is to kiss Luchs. It works and the main computer system is destroyed (though Lime, Cherry, and Bloodberry were upset at the method).

Gag Boobs has been renamed to Boob Based Gag. Changing to the proper trope where appropriate and cutting misuse.

* HotterAndSexier: The manga version, which brought up the [[HandWave question]] about why bother making them anatomically correct if you're going to make loving them socially taboo...

It makes sense, in a way, because Kotoyoshi Yumisuke is an avid hentai artist, maybe it was on his contract, or just plain AuthorAppeal.

** The opening of ''J'' has a few.
*** It builds Tiger as Lime's rival, and Panther being Bloodberry's. While there are interactions with said characters in the show, most of their bouts happened with the other's designated rival. [[spoiler:In fact, Tiger's fateful battle before she was broken was with Bloodberry rather than Lime. The designated bouts eventually did happen, albeit briefly, in ''J to X'' when the Saberdolls wrongfully followed an evil clone of Faust in pursuing his TakeOverTheWorld plan]].
*** It features Bloodberry wielding a quarterstaff and Luchs using a DeadlyDisc ability, neither of which appeared in the show.
*** It features a showdown between Otaru and Faust that didn't happen in the show proper.
** The opening of ''J to X'' features the three main marionettes battling beastly marionettes inside castle grounds. The actual battle happens just outside of said castle, with the main trio preventing these villainous marionettes from entering it even being an important plot point.
