Differences in Adaptation

 * In the anime, Oh Ho Ho grabs a mic and sings at the start of the second round of her battle with the Baby Magnum, all the while transmitting the video to Milinda. This doesn't happen in the novels.
 * In the anime, the final conversation between Quenser and Oh Ho Ho has some of it moved around and some parts changed, like the excuse Quenser gives as to why he's saving Oh Ho Ho and his answer to Oh Ho Ho poining out he's risking his life by staying in the cockpit. Oh Ho Ho's promise of singing just for him the next time they meet is also anime original.
 * In the novels, after the battle is over Heivia questions Quenser about his choice to not kill Oh Ho Ho, and Quenser reminds him of what happened the last time they were in Alaska. This part of the conversation is missing in the anime.

Trivia
