In this version, Marina gets a soul and goes to Heaven ''immediately'' after she dies.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Marina's sisters all have impossible hair colors. Except one of the sisters has orange/red hair, which is a possible hair color. In the VHS version uploaded on Website/YouTube, the quality of the video makes one of Marina's sisters' hair look brown as opposed to its actual color purple.

in the anime he specifically describes a black-haired girl (the human princess) that he wanted to marry, not that he wanted to marry the girl who saved him (Marina), so it is a perfectly arranged marriage


* PerfectlyArrangedMarriage: Seems to be the case after the two meet and learn who the other really is. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, she is not really the one that rescued the Prince. She only found him after his real rescuer and desired bride, Marina, had to leave. The Prince realizes this [[DownerEnding after it's too late]].]]
