* VictoryByFirstBlood: The manga's final battle requires Shugo to damage Balmung at all. After extensive buffs, debuffs, and using every rare item and skill, he hits him for 1 damage, but it's enough.

''.hack//Legend of the Twilight'' (''.hack//Tasogare no Udewa Densetsu'') is a short manga series and its anime adaptation that follows the adventures of Shugo and Rena, a pair of twins who have won two limited edition clone accounts of the heroes Kite and [=BlackRose=] from [[VideoGame/DotHackR1Games .hack//IMOQ]] and, like their predecessors, find themselves sinking into the vast mysteries of The World alongside a werewolf, a happy-go-lucky treasure hunter, and a mysterious Rogue AI girl named Zefie.

However, unlike most of the other Franchise/DotHack titles, it remains fairly lighthearted throughout the series and focuses more on the game itself rather than the circumstances that led to the playing of the game, spending less time probing the effects of loneliness on the human psyche and more time crawling through dungeons and having fun with events. In other words, it's a lot like playing an MMO with some of your best friends.

* ChildProdigy: Mireille is apparently ''4 years old'' according to the manga. Played with in that she gets a little over-emotional, often simplifies things on occasion, and can be rather single-minded, but still seems to know quite a bit about The World and does not often talk like she's that young.\

* AscendedExtra: Sanjuro, being a side character who required a non-plot mission to recruit, could be skipped over entirely in the IMOQ games. Here, he's friends with Hotaru and is one of the physical and intellectual powerhouses of the protagonist group.

to:

** Notable because the events mostly stay the same between the anime and the manga up until episode 5 (minus one event that doesn't appear in manga). In the manga version, [[spoiler:Rena doesn't get defeated]], the plot event that spurs the entire rest of the anime version, and to a certain extent also establishes the anime as darker than the manga was.

* CoolBigSis: Ouka. She tutors Mireille outside of the net, and aside from being one of the powerhouses, does seem to care for Shugo. Notable in that she becomes TheLancer [[spoiler:after Rena gets defeated]] if Sanjuro or Balmung aren't around.


Added DiffLines:

* WackyWaysideTribe: Only one event in the manga does not correspond to the rest of the series, being a cute event for Shugo, Rena, and Mireille to hang out together; perhaps a strong reason why the anime took it out.

* MarshmallowHell: Ouka does this to Shugo after he suddenly runs into her unexpectedly in the 3rd volume of the manga. At that point in the story, Shugo had been apart from the other characters from so long, that she couldn't hold back her excitement and happiness to see him again.

In the anime, there's also a random player with quite the impressive rack who seemingly exists simply to have others (like Shugo) plow into her and get offended.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Ouka. Early translations of the manga called her "Orca". The anime got slightly closer and has it pronounced "Ohka" and spells it that way in the English subtitles. Later manga editions have it as the official spelling of "Ouka".
