** In both the anime and manga, when Harribel cuts down Tōshirō, she turns her back to him thinking she's won, only for Tōshirō to reveal it was an ice clone. The plot hole comes in the anime, where the ice clone being shown seemingly bleeding was removed, making Harribel's choice to turn her back to Tōshirō make significantly less sense and seeming idiotic that she would turn her back on Tōshirō, whereas at least the manga it appeared like she truly had won the fight.

** When the anime readapted the conversation between Isshiki and Code (after initially cutting out most of it), it still left out Code asking his master the names of his killers as he planned to avenge him too. This caused a plot hole when Code tells Kawaki that he knew how things boiled down, just like in the manga.
** Another big one, when Naruto and Shikamaru intervene in the fight between Code, Kawaki, and a Momoshiki-possessed Boruto, and the advisor of the Hokage blocked Momoshiki with his shadow possession jutsu, the anime decided for some reason that the Otsutsuki couldn't absorb the jutsu, despite it being perfectly possible with the karma, and happening at various points in the story, and in the very same scene in the manga.

* ''Manga/{{Boruto}}'':
** In the anime, shortly after the defeat of Momoshiki, Sasuke tells Boruto to keep his headband, implying he gifted it to him; however, the manga later has Sasuke lend it to Boruto once more when Isshiki invades Konoha, and he also tells him to give it back to him someday. The anime does nothing to reconcile this discrepancy regarding what happened to the headband after the movie arc, and it doesn't even alter the later scene by the time it adapts it.
** Always in the anime, when Momoshiki possesses Boruto once again and prepares to capture Kawaki, Naruto tries to persuade him not to by stating that with Isshiki gone he has no one to use as a sacrifice. The issue comes with the knowledge that this detail of an Otsutsuki being needed as a sacrifice for a god tree to blossom is something that Naruto shouldn't know because it was first brought up by Amado in his conversation with Shikamaru, Katasuke, Kawaki, and Sumire in the manga after the Hokage left to fight Isshiki. And much like the example above, the anime adapts this part of the manga pretty faithfully.
** The filler episodes set between the Kawaki arc and the Code arc are riddled with this, from Team 7 never once being put on hold and Sarada even being made a chunin and officially replacing Konohamaru as the team leader (both things that clash with how events play out later on, namely Konohamaru being present for the cohabitation mission, and Sarada still being a genin in Two Blue Vortex), to the meds of Amado being made to be an actual counter to the event of Momoshiki possessing Boruto thus supposely making the Karma absolutely safe to use. To the more egregious example of the anime making Kawaki become a genin despite the manga already establishing that he was no official ninja in the Code arc, even going as far as giving him his own separate headband, which leads to a severe case of AdaptationalDumbass from Boruto's part, to have him still give his own headband to Kawaki, like in the manga.

** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames'', Twinrova kidnapped Zelda to serve as a sacrifice to revive Ganondorf, but was forced to sacrifice themselves when Link foiled the plan. The result was a mindless, feral Ganon. Since the kidnapping plot is AdaptedOut in the manga, there's no explanation for why Ganon is the way he is.

* The original manga version of ''Manga/KaitouSaintTail'' has 24 chapters in its main story, all of which are adapted rather closely (even to the point of sometimes recreating panels) to one anime episode each. So it would be a faithful adaptation, right? That's only on an ''individual'' episode level, because said episodes are mixed around in order and spaced out with 19 {{Filler}} episodes that are practically from a completely different series, one that [[StatusQuoIsGod resets or even backpedals on any existing developments]] and [[NegativeContinuity constantly goes against the original series plot]]. If you're someone who knows the manga, you might be able to treat it as a way to see most of the major manga scenes animated with some extra {{Filler}} to play with, but if you're just watching it from beginning to end without any knowledge of the manga, the final arc becomes completely incomprehensible because almost everything leading up to it has been invalidated in some way. Because it's so difficult to make sense out of it, you'll see descriptions even on this very wiki that assume things along the lines of [[AdaptationalDumbass the relevant characters just being really dense]], because that's the only logical conclusion that would come out of their characterizations being made so inconsistent.
