** While Beelzebub fights against the Insect Men, Rao and Thief get onto the airship to confront Zeu. Thief distracts some guards in the same way Rao did earlier, while Rao and Zeu have an extended showdown until Are shoots Zeu's shell as he did originally. Zeu still doesn't give up after that, prompting a recovered Belz to attack him so hard he's ATwinkleInTheSky.
** The second half of the anime is a brand new story written by Toriyama.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Despite having similar mystical and sci-fi motifs akin to Toriyama's more mainstream works, the manga is a decidedly lo-fi road trip affair with rather grounded goals and regrets that facilitate the fantastical action and set pieces.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: After raiding the military Jeep for water, Beelzebub is shown to have a caring side when he gives some of it to a human child he stumbles upon. Since this action takes place offscreen in the anime, thr first onscreen moment that shows this side of him is instead using some of his water to rehydrate a nearly dry Slime.
