* ForWantOfANail: A simple coin flip was the difference between Kazuo Kiriyama overthrowing the government or becoming the feared grim-reaper like figure on the island he became. Just imagine the good he'd done if that flip came up heads.

*TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: [[spoiler: Dies in all versions because she trusts and helps Mitsuko, particularly played straight during the manga where the reason she trusts Mitsuko is that she doesn't believe that Mitsuko is a bad person despite her bad girl reputation(because her delinquent sister was actually a deeply caring person) and tries to comfort her when she feigns tears, which is when Mitsuko slices her throat.]]

Added DiffLines:

* PimpingTheOffspring: The main reason why Mitsuko believes AllMenArePerverts is because (in the original novel) when she was a child, her mother allowed three men to rape her in exchange for money. In the film this was changed to her allowing one man to attempt to rape her in exchange for money and in the manga this was changed to her doing nothing to stop her new husband from repeatedly molesting her.

* ARealManIsAKiller: In the manga, he literally gets off on the fact that he killed Yoshio. This is contrasted in the other two as the reality of the game doesn't set in until he accidentally kills Yoshio in self defense.

* AdaptationalDumbass: Also crossing over with DumbIsGood, in the movie, Hirono calls Mitsuko out on killing Megumi and seems much nicer from her short appearance. She makes a point of not shooting her when she had the chance despite having a pretty good idea she killed Megumi, which allowed Mitsuko to get the upper hand, and the gun, from her.

* {{Tsundere}}: She is this, by Sugimura's account. She is very harsh with a DeathGlare but seems to have a sweet side deeply buried down. She's more the [[DefrostingIceQueen original version]], though, where as you get to know her she warms up considerably.

The example is more "Adaptational Dumbass" instead of "Took a Level in Dumbass"; Oda is less smart in the adaptations instead of being smart at first and then suddenly being dumb.
