* ''Series/Fallout2024'': Ghouls have received a serious power-up in the series when compared to their video game counterparts. In the games, ghouls were simply over-irradiated LongLived humans who were healed by radiation rather than being harmed by it, but they had to contend with slowly rotting away and losing their mental faculties. In the series, while they are still LivingOnBorrowedTime, ghouls now possess an absurdly powerful HealingFactor, seemingly FeelNoPain, and seem to only be killable by RemovingTheHeadOrDestroyingTheBrain.

Compare this with TV Dexter, who's a black belt capable of holding his own against former special ops agent Doakes (who in the first novel he admitted to being intimidated by) and who has physically bested cops, serial killers, gangsters etc.

** Nami earlier on the manga couldn't defeat more than two or three {{Mooks}} with her MartialArtsStaff, and usually would wind up a DamselInDistress in need of saving/protection from her stronger crewmates if there were numerous enemies around her. In this series however, Nami makes Donatello proud being able to fight and take down a dozen marines alongside Luffy and Zoro with her bo-staff in the first episode. She also joins the boys in the raid on Arlong Park, rather than crying in the village during all the asskicking and only reappearing after most of the Arlong Pirates are defeated, like in the manga.
** Morgan in the manga couldn't so much as land a hit on Luffy with his namesake axe-hand and got cut down by Zoro before he could accomplish his [[InTheBack back attack]] on Luffy (who was focused on saving Koby from Helmeppo). In this series, by contrast, Morgan effectively fights both Luffy and Zoro simultaneously and manages to knock them both around, putting up a helluva fight before Luffy takes him out with a Gum Gum Whip.

Additionally two weaknesses of his fruit from the manga have been removed: he no longer needs to keep his feet planted on the ground, and he can mitigate damage from punches by selectively popping certain parts off his body.
** In the manga, Kuro's SuperSpeed was so intense for him that he couldn't see where he was going while moving, causing him to attack everything and everyone indiscriminately with his Out of the Bag Attack. He shows no such blindness in the series as he [[FlashStep Flash Steps]] all over the manor with perfect control.
** Sham and Buchi in the manga generally relied on sneakiness and good ol' pirate pragmatism, only giving Zoro any trouble due to stealing away two of his swords and Buchi in particular getting hypnotized into being stronger by Jango. Here on the other hand, they both give Zoro a real fight without getting empowered (since Jango is AdaptedOut of Syrup Village) and they can match him for a while even when he is using two swords against them. Sham in particular knocked out Zoro cold in an earlier scene with a sneak attack, and manages to steal Wado Ichimonji out from under Zoro's nose.
** Downplayed, but the Arlong Pirates (namely Arlong and Kuroobi) get a considerable amount of this compared to the manga version, despite being much less physically huge. To explain, while they were undeniably extremely powerful in the source material as well, being alongside Hachi and Chu, the strongest antagonists of East Blue (barring Smoker), Arlong and Kuroobi nevertheless only gave Luffy and Sanji a real challenge respectively up until the latter two's LetsGetDangerous [[BerserkButton berserk buttons]] being pushed — which resulted in Arlong and Kuroobi getting stomped. This was also on top of other factors, such as Luffy accidentally getting his feet stuck in stone which Arlong took full advantage of by throwing him in the ocean and Kuroobi getting a strength boost from fighting Sanji underwater and taking advantage of Sanji being distracted by Zoro's wound reopening. Here in this series however, Arlong and Kuroobi are able to decisively defeat both Luffy and Sanji in their first bout at the Baratie, and the only reason Luffy doesn't get killed by Arlong is because Nami convinces the latter to dump him in the ocean rather than bite his throat open.
