Anime-Manga Differences Spoiler
Plot and Content Changes
- Chapter 449 already has Suigetsu in a robe with the Kubikiribōchō recovered by the time Sasuke's team prepares to leave for Konoha. The anime adds the in-between step on screen — showing him returning with the sword in his regular outfit. (Manga: chapter 449)
