* AdaptationalWimp: In the manga, whilst not ''strong'' in the beginning of the manga, he was a pretty clear Determinator, who wouldn't back down from a fight. The only exception to this rule is his first fight with Senji, where he quickly realizes he's out of his element. In the anime, however, his behavior in the first few chapters is ramped up to the point of Flanderization, where he is gets beat up and shoved around in every single episode. This is most prevalent in Episode 2, where he is willing to quit the Dog Race despite the fact that he would die the next day if he did, a pretty major plot point of the episode. [[spoiler: It gets worse by the final episode. See [[AdaptationalSuperpowerChange]]

After the first fight with Genkaku, as well as his second match with Senji, Manga!Ganta learns how to process the events afterward in stride, whereas Anime!Ganta tends to be in a constant state of brooding and depression.
