* AdaptationDyeJob: In the manga, every human character has a natural hair color. However, in the anime, [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair Nuriko is given purple hair, Chichiri blue]], and Mitsukake's is given a [[HairColorDissonance green tint]] while Tamahome's is undeniably blue (or sometimes green).

* WorldOfTechnicolorHair: Tamahome and Chichiri have blue hair of different shades (but the former's hair is often mistaken for green), while Nuriko, his deceased little sister Kourin, and Empress Houki have purple hair. Chiriko's hair is a cross between brown and pink and the Nyan-Nyans have bubblegum blue hair. Tokaki, Subaru, and Tenkou have silver hair (this holds true for the former two even in youth), and Renhou and Miiru have silver-purple hair. Soi's hair is a shade of maroon, while Nakago is the only one who has blonde hair in the book world, and this is actually significant. The human forms of all the Beast Deities have hair in the color by which they are identified.



* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Averted and played straight. All of the human characters in the real world have perfectly normal hair colours. It's the folks in the Universe of the Four Gods that have odd hair colours (like blue).

** That scene where Tamahome and Hotohori give Miaka a blood transfusion... by cutting themselves and bleeding directly into Miaka's wound. Yuu Watase actually lampshaded this in a gag panel where Nuriko called out how ridiculous and unsanitary it was.
** During the voyage to Hokkan, Tasuki, who [[SuperDrowningSkills cannot swim at all]], is washed overboard in a storm. Miaka jumps in to help, and promptly demonstrates why it's a bad idea for unskilled swimmers to do this as [[TooDumbToLive she starts drowning herself]], necessitating Tamahome to jump in to save ''her.'' Nuriko again proves to be the OnlySaneMan, as the only person with the presence of mind to toss out a rope.
