* AdaptationalBadass: In the original poem, he was the epitome of TheDevilIsALoser, being stuck at the bottom of the lake, unable to free himself and worse, his attempts to get free only worsen his situation. In the actual game, he is free to go anywhere in Hell, kidnaps the heavenly Beatrice, and [[spoiler:is revealed to have been using her as a bait to lure him further into Hell so he can be freed]].

** The animated adaptation makes him more badass compared to his game counterpart. While the game Lucifer throws several brief but very noticeable temper tantrums, the anime has those same lines, but voiced in a more composed yet rage-fueled manner, only raising his voice when in the middle of combat. The anime even has him more or less [[spoiler: defeat Dante. Giving him a NearVillainVictory only thwarted by [[HeroicSacrifice Dante facing his own damnation and forsake any chance of redemption or reunion with Beatrice]].]] The biggest difference between the two versions is how they face defeat; [[spoiler: while both undergo a VillainousBreakdown, game Lucifer is reduced to trying to [[AintTooProudToBeg bargain with and tempt Dante to join him]] despite having tried to kill him moments earlier, while anime Lucifer [[DefiantToTheEnd yells at Dante to stop his repentance while making a last ditch lunging attempt]].]]



* LargeHam: He gives plenty of long winded speeches throughout and he really starts ChewingTheScenery [[spoiler: after Dante has unwittingly freed him]].

* LargeHam: He gives plenty of long winded speeches throughout and he really starts ChewingTheScenery [[spoiler: after Dante has unwittingly freed him]]. Averted in the animated adaptation, which goes for the [[ColdHam other approach]] most of the time.

Added DiffLines:

* IgnoredEpiphany: In the animated film, Lucifer promises him a mountain of gold on top of time free of torture if he kills Dante. This shows that, despite ''literally having molten gold poured over him'', Alighiero has failed to learn the incredibly obvious and on-the-nose lesson about the pointlessness of pursuing wealth.

* ThroughTheEyesOfMadness: When he demands to know why he has seen none of the Saracen's he killed, who were just as guilty of violence as he, in Hell, Lucifer [[NeckLift lifts him by the throat]], and pointedly tells him "Because this isn't their Hell, Dante. It's yours." Implying everything he's witnessed during his descent, and even the rings of Hell themselves, are the result of his own expectations and belief.
