Anime-Manga Differences Spoiler
Animation Changes
- Hiashi Hyūga gets redesigned with a bandanna-style forehead protector here, but the manga has him wearing it in the standard fashion. The mix-up likely stems from the dark cloth blending into his black hair — the actual manga tying matches Neji's style, with the back of the cloth hidden under hair.
