Accent Adaptation: As with ADV's dub of the OVA series, Kohran's given a Chinese accent, Iris sports a French accent and Maria is given a Russian accent. In addition, Kanna's also given a Brooklyn accent in the dub to match her Okinawan dialect. | |

Sealed Evil in a Can | |
| Sakura Wars (2000) / int_485eb589 | comment |
Sealed Evil in a Can: Anime Tenkai (whereas in the game he's been free and active since the Kouma War). The Hive of Darkness is still destroying the Tenpu Stones and their magical seals all around Tokyo, But the goal in this version of the story is to release Tenaki from his imprisonment (rather than remove the spiritual protection that was keeping demonic hordes at bay in the game). | |

Spared by the Adaptation: In the 1996 game, Ayame is killed by Aoi Satan/Shinnosuke Yamazaki in the Final Battle. In this version, she doesn't experience a Face–Heel Turn and survives the Imperial Combat Revue's final encounter with Satan. | |

From Bad to Worse | |
| Sakura Wars (2000) / int_7870735b | comment |
From Bad to Worse: Episode 22 in a nutshell. Thanks to the ending of the previous episode, Yoneda's attempt to take out Aoi Satan has failed. The Commander is now MIA and possibly dead, forcing Ayame to take command. Yoneda's failed gambit also resulted in the destruction of the Majinki, costing the team their Spiritual "Break Glass In Case of Emergency" contingency. As bad as things already are, they get worse as Episode 22 opens. Aoi Satan destroys the penultimate Tenpu Stone, leaving only one left to contain Tenkai. With Yoneda gone, the Hive of Darkness launches an all-out invasion of the Imperial Theater — an incursion which succeeds in destroying the Imperial Combat Revue's headquarters. The only silver lining is the team and their Koubus manage to escape (though that's not much of a win as they're now homeless and without access to their core resources). | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: On her first day, Sakura gets off on the wrong foot with the other members of the Hanagumi, and her attempts to patch things up with the others just end up making the situation worse until the end of the episode, where, after one screw-up too many, Sakura is forced out. By the end of the next episode, however, Sakura proves herself to the others and is accepted back. | |

However, this internal conflict is also greatly expanded upon in here in the TV series, culminating in Episode 21 when Ayame finally goes through with it in order to save Yoneda from her former lover's wrath. | |

Rasetsu and Setsuna follow her in the opening minutes of Episode 25 (at the hands of Ogami and Kayama). Aoi Satan is the last to fall in the series finale's climax (at the hands of Sakura). | |

Locked Out of the Loop | |
| Sakura Wars (2000) / int_f06b07ff | comment |
Locked Out of the Loop: Yoneda and Ayame after they realize Aoi Satan is their wartime comrade Shinnosuke Yamazaki — and not only alive, but fallen to the forces of darkness he once fought. For personal reasons, they choose not inform Ogami or the rest of the Imperial Floral Division of this Dark Secret. This ends up backfiring *spectacularly* on the entire team, especially in Episodes 20 (when Satan approaches Sakura in his civilian guise and brainwashes her) and 22 (as Kohran learns her engineering idol is their archenemy and has a Heroic BSoD as the Hive of Darkness is in the middle of invading the Imperial Theater). | |
