* CompressedAdaptation: Since the first season is compressed into five episodes, some elements of the manga/anime have been reinterpreted to provide a connection between them when previously they did not have. To wit:
** In the manga/anime, Hiei acquires the Sword of Darkness with his fellow yokai Gouki and Kurama, then fights Yusuke at the end of the "Artifacts of Darkness" arc. Hiei only returns to the fray in the "Four Beasts" arc (the story ''after'' "Genkai's Successor" arc), and becomes a protagonist during Yukina's Rescue arc.
** In the live-action series, Hiei still acquires the Sword of Darkness, but his story this time is deeply intertwined with Yukina's Rescue arc, which has been brought to the forefront as a subplot.

* ChekhovsGun: Sakyo keeps a pistol in his desk, which he uses to demonstrated RussianRoulette to Tarukane, and later uses to [[spoiler: kill himself after losing his bet against Ko-enma]].

* LetsYouAndHimFight: Elder Toguro [[spoiler: impersonates Hiei while kidnapping Keiko, resulting in a brief rematch between Yusuke and Hiei due to false blame]]. Considering Sakyo's plan was to invite both of them to his tournament, there's no clear motivation for him to do this.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Though many of his wicked actions were cut for time Elder Toguro makes up for it by pulling double duty with his unapologetic [[KickTheDog dog kicking]] throughout the season. Specifically, he [[spoiler: murders Yukina's would-be rescuer in this version (rather than Tarukane and his goons) and he's also the one kidnaps Keiko rather than Hiei. In fact, he uses his morphing powers to impersonate and frame Hiei for the kidnapping, causing him to get caught in a brief conflict with Yusuke.]]

* TrainingFromHell: Both Yusuke and Kuwabara are subjected to this while studying as Genkai's students. Yusuke is tasked with using his aura to balance on a large spike and holding the position for twelve hours while Kuwabara is forced to try and slice though a giant boulder... using only wooden katanas. Their efforts definitely pay off in the end though, with Yusuke receiving the Spirit Orb and Kuwabara unlocking his Spirit Sword.

He even gets to recreate his little [[KickTheDog "Genkai puppet show"]] to freak out the heroes.

** There's also a lot more realistic gore due to the series now being in live action. The scene where Toguro punches a monster clean in half is not only kept but rendered in the same loving detail as it was in the manga. [[{{Gorn}} Boom.]]
