Differences in Adaptation

 * In the anime, after the helicopter appeared, the Royal Guards told the citizens to evacuate. This doesn't happen in the manga.
 * In the anime, when Licht tried to attack the Althing, he was paralyzed and the code "001" was shown in his left eye once again like when he tried to save Pelmo. In the manga, Licht cuts the hands just fine.
 * In the anime, Jail asks Hina what she means by the number code. This doesn't happened in the manga.KidInsideHelicopter.jpg
