* AdaptationDistillation: The fic's events are set during the events of the anime's World Duel Carnival arc, but with elements from the Barian arc added in to relflect the Barian Emperors' early involvement in the story.

to:

* AdaptationDistillation: The majority of the fic's events are set during the events of the anime's World Duel Carnival arc, but with elements from the Barian arc added in to relflect reflect the Barian Emperors' early earlier involvement in the story.



* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Several details throughout have changed, though some characters moreso, particularly in the backstory of ZEXAL's overall lore.
** Eliphas in canon was said to have been a creation of the Astral World itself to act as its will. In this story, he was an already-existing member of the Astral beings who was also a disciple of the Numeron Dragon alongside Don Thousand, chosen to master the power of Order. Thus, he grew into his canon role rather than being created for it. His hatred of Chaos is also recontextualized; not because of his status as a being of Order, but because of the trauma of the war against Don Thousand.
** [[spoiler:Astral gets one of the more significant changes. In canon, he was also a creation of the Astral World, attributed to Eliphas as a being to take on the power of the Numbers. In this story, like Eliphas, Astral was merely another resident of the Astral World, with confirmed family, losing his parents, who died to Don Thousand's powers. The role of taking on the Numbers is thus treated as a supersoldier program he volunteered for rather than being made for, and instead of Kazuma directing him to Yuma, Number 100: Numeron Dragon, does so instead.]]



** In canon, Don Thousand was a CardCarryingVillain, a prime example of ChaosIsEvil. In this story's backstory, he used to be much kinder, and according to Eliphas, playful, before the Numeron Dragon assigned him to master the power of Chaos, a thankless role that he hated and [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer saw him shunned by his people]]. This ultimately drove him insane, his power corrupted him, and he declared war on the people of the Astral World. Though still obviously a villain, he's more of a posthumous TragicVillain with this context.



** [[spoiler:Astral in this story's backstory. In canon, he was a deliberate creation of Eliphas meant to take on the power of the Numbers until Kazuma interfered with his programming and sent him to Yuma. In this story, Astral was merely another resident of the Astral World, who grew hateful and vengeful against the Barian World for killing his parents, to the point of volunteering for the super-soldier program to bring him into his canon role.]]



** In canon, Black Mist, when empowered by Chaos energy, nearly succeeded in destroying all three worlds, with his duel against Yuma and Astral appropriately reflecting his increased strength. [[spoiler:Here, he never gets to that level of power; the first time said form is utilized, it is adapted as a further-corrupted form of Kotori while under his control, and the outcome of the duel weakens Black Mist greatly. The second time, the form properly appears, but only as an upgrade Number 43 gave him, and though Black Mist puts up a good fight, he is ultimately defeated by both ZEXAL and Kotori working together, rather than a full-powered ZEXAL II form. He also fails to pull a TakingYouWithMe moment as in canon; the duel drains what's left of his strength and Number 43 [[YouHaveFailedMe kills Black Mist for his failure.]]]]



* BigBadWannabe: Number 96. He is under the false impression that he is The Strongest Number and worth being called a God. [[spoiler: When in reality he is merely being used by Number 43 as a scapegoat and as a pawn in his plans]]

After being defeated by a ZEXAL-empowered Yuma and Astral, Number 43 gives Number 96 a ''very'' brutal reality check.]]

* ForWantOfANail: The premise of the fic itself, at first, is that Shark got burned instead of Rio, and the Barians got involved much sooner. However, later chapters show several major changes to the backstory.

* GreaterScopeVillain: Don Thousand is this, due to suffering from DeathByAdaptation; having legitimately perished in his duel with Astral, aside from a sliver of his power, which, as in canon, took on the form of Number 96. Likewise, his actions that necessitated the creation of the Barian World in the first place ensure that he still maintains influence in the story's backstory and present-day.



* HowDoIShootWeb: The power of ZEXAL comes from order, and so Yuma and Astral are unable to activate while in the chaos-filled Barian Sphere Field duel against [[spoiler:Merag]].

The fanfiction starts off at the point before the beginning of canon when IV (Quattro in the English Dub) attacked Shark and Rio Kamishiro and burned one of them alive. However, while it was Rio who was burned in canon, Shark is the one who gets burned in this fanfiction, which basically causes the twins to [[RoleSwaAU switch roles]]. Rio takes her brother's place as one of the main character in comparison to the very minor and under used role she had in canon. She becomes the main protagonist alongside Yuma Tsukumo and gains the same desire for vengeance against IV, all the while she is roped into the Number Monster Conflict and starts collecting Numbers of her own.
