Anime-Manga Differences Spoiler
Censorship
- Kisame's massacre of the Cypher Division gets pulled back significantly when it plays out in the anime.
Plot and Content Changes
- Kisame's flashback in the manga catches the Cypher Division mid-meal, and he kills the entire group in one sweep. The anime rewrites him as initially sensing the enemy and trying to protect the Division — only to end up killing them one by one anyway. (Manga: chapter 507, pages 9-10)
