Anime-Manga Differences Spoiler
Censorship
- Mifune's bleeding from the head is kept, but the actual head wound itself is hidden in this episode — the manga panel shows the gash plainly. (Manga: chapter 532, page 2)
- Mifune's Iai Beheading splits Ibuse's head visibly in the manga. The anime covers the impact entirely with a smoke effect. (Manga: chapter 531, page 18)
