Anime Differences

• Danjou's backstory is cut.
• Kaede reveals that the woman who interrupted the fight was Xuelan.
• The anime skips the scene from the restaurant. Because of this, Xuelan doesn't kidnap Inukai, therefore any scenes involving him after the match are cut.
• Part of the Sunset Ravens' meeting is cut.
• Kaname and Xuelan's dialogue is extended, partly because Inukai isn't kidnapped.
• Wang's video is given dialogue instead of just one panel in the manga.
