* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Female characters are drawn with [[BuxomIsBetter much larger chests]] and male characters have gone from merely {{Bishounen}} to [[DudeLooksLikeALady gender-confusingly pretty]]. This is a product of the artist's chosen style being dramatically different from other adaptations.

Sinkhole


** TactfulTranslation: Sandy87's translations sometimes fall here. While "that low-born Lacertus Rex" may be an acceptable (if rather literal) translation of ワニ師の野郎, fully capturing Agan's intent would likely require [[PrecisionFStrike a well-placed expletive]]. It does at least have some AddedAlliterativeAppeal.

Cut trope


* SeldomSeenSpecies: When Morte imagines the Ferals who rule over humans, the generic ones she thinks of look largely like tapirs. This may be a VisualPun: in Japanese mythology, tapirs are said to eat dreams, and the beastmen "eat" humanity's dreams by enslaving them.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


** Actually ''inverted and played straight'' [[UpToEleven at the same time]] in the final two chapters: [[spoiler:Morte]] gets [[TorsoWithAView shot through the chest]], and, naturally, has a holey shirt to match. In chapter twelve, the hole is perfectly round and small, conforming only to the Destruct Light that passed through it. As chapter thirteen goes on, however, the edges of the hole seem to disintegrate more, until there's quite a big, tattered hole in the shirt - though the hole through [[spoiler:Morte's]] body remains exactly the same size. All the blood that splattered seems to magically evaporate, however - while both [[spoiler:she and Kyrie]] are [[BloodSplatteredInnocents covered in blood]] at the end of chapter twelve thanks to this damage, by the end of chapter thirteen, they're both pretty clean, only seeming a little scuffed instead of soaked in blood.

* HotterAndSexier: While Morte and Rhi'a have always worn {{Dangerously Short Skirt}}s, it was rarely drawn attention to in other adaptations. Chapter 2 of the manga opens with Morte's skirt riding up so far that the edge of her butt is visible.

* PowerPalms: Destruct Light is normally gathered in the wielder's hands like your standard KiAttacks. Vreveil is stated to be skilled enough to not need to use his hands, but he usually does anyway.

* BigBad: Archangel Vreveil, one half of the Destruct who’s mission is to destroy the world.



* CharacterExaggeration: Both Rhi'a and Morte are more insane than their original game versions. Rhi'a has gone from an occasional CloudCuckooLander to spending most of her time in crazy-mode, with [[TheCutie exaggerated child-like cuteness and naivete]]. Morte has gone from simply wishing to end the world [[MercyKill because of how messed up it is]] (and because StuffBlowingUp is fun and BiggerIsBetter, so blowing up the whole world would be ''awesome''), fighting only against those who actively oppose her or who are responsible for the state of the world, to outright attacking innocent bystanders.
