Adaptational Heroism: Light is given a more sympathetic motive here. In the manga and anime, Light was The Perfectionist who could only deal with the fact that he accidentally killed someone by reasoning that it was okay, since the dude was an asshole, and that it's okay to kill criminal. Here, his Protagonist Journey to Villain involves the law being held on a Broken Pedestal. That being said, he still ends up Jumping Off the Slippery Slope more quickly than his manga/anime counterpart.

Adaptational Intelligence: It doesn't save her, but Naomi is smart enough to suspect Light from the start. That's why she never gives her real name to him. Light still manages to kill her.
