** Sergeant Metallic/Major Metallitron {{NoSell}}s Goku's attacks during his fight, not even when Goku blasts his head off with a Kamehameha, and only stops when his batteries run dry. In ''Path to Power'', Goku takes him out by punching his head off. On a related note, ''Mystical Adventure'' has him destroyed when Goku punches a hole through his chest.
** In the original manga and anime, General Blue is given the chance to redeem himself by fighting and defeating Mercenary Tao which is also meant for Tao to prove what he is capable of. Tao kills General Blue with his tongue. In ''Path To Power'', [[AdaptedOut since Tao doesn't even appear]], General Blue is executed for his failure right away by low-level privates.
** Although Commander Red is still shot by Staff Officer Black, it plays out differently. In the manga and anime, he is shot in the head. In ''Path To Power'', Black shoots him in the side causing him to [[DisneyVillainDeath fall off a ledge]].
** When Staff Officer Black fights Goku in the manga and anime, Goku kills him by punching a hole in the machine he is piloting, causing it to explode. In ''Path To Power'', Goku kills him using a Kamehameha in retaliation over Black [[DeathByAdaptation killing Android 8]].

* ''Manga/DragonBall'': A lot of the Red Ribbon Army's deaths are different in the movie ''Anime/DragonBallThePathToPower''.

* ''Manga/DragonBall'': ''Manga/DragonBall'':
** Ninja Murasaki is never seen again in the manga after Goku punches him out, which means he either perished in the collapse of Muscle Tower or was killed outright by Goku's punch. He shows up alive in an anime filler, where he's blown up by Android 8's bomb.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Manga/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaHomurasRevenge'' plays with this trope, as two canonical deaths still happen the same way, but the exact time and reason behind them have altered.
** Mami Tomoe still dies from getting her head bitten off by a Witch, but it happens later in the fight than originally. Madoka managed to knock Mami out of the way of the initial attack, resulting in Mami having another chance and fighting the Witch better than before. It's only when the Witch is presumed defeated properly that she manages to get the jump on Mami.
** Sayaka Miki still turns into her Witch form Oktavia, but this time it wasn't due to her mental health slipping from her love troubles, having the knowledge of [[OurLichesAreDifferent what magical girls actually are]], and becoming cynical and nihilistic from not living up to her own ideal standards. Instead, she overuses her magic by fighting excessively to improve her swordsmanship and continuously using her HealingFactor, until she ran out of magic entirely.

** In the source material, Shin gets a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown from Kenshiro, and later [[DisneyVillainDeath jumps to his death]] [[BetterToDieThanBeKilled so he wouldn't die by his hands]]. In the film, Shin gets his pressure points struck by Raoh in an Off-screen battle and finally buckles when Kenshiro gives him a single punch.

* ''Anime/AkameGaKill'' has [[BigBad Prime Minister Honest]] beaten to death by Leone after a long, drawn-out fight. As brutal as it was, it was far gentler than his [[Manga/AkameGaKill manga]] death, in which Leone stops short of killing him and [[DoWithHimAsYouWill leaves him to the "mercy" of the rebels]], who promptly dismember him alive, bit-by-bit.

** In most adaptations, Light dies due to Ryuk writing his name in the Death Note, although the circumstances and motive are different.[[note]]In the [[Manga/DeathNote manga]] and [[Film/DeathNoteSeries Japanese film series]], Light is outed as Kira and, in a last-ditch effort, orders Ryuk to kill everyone else; Ryuk takes it as a sign that Light is out of ideas and therefore [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness is no longer entertaining]], so he kills him. In the anime, when it's clear that Light will either bleed out or be arrested and have to live the rest of his life in prison, Ryuk decides to give him a MercyKill instead. In the [[Theatre/DeathNoteTheMusical musical]], Light kills L, and immediately afterwards Ryuk kills Light because he finds that VictoryIsBoring.[[/note]]. In the [[Series/DeathNote Japanese light-action series]], however, Light instead dies in a fire started during the final confrontation at the warehouse.
