Rage Against the Reflection | |
| Unico: Awakening (Manga) / int_1397e10d | comment |
Rage Against the Reflection: Unico and Psyche's growing friendship causes them to unknowingly create a force which harnessed "Life's Secret Undercurrent". The force manages to cross from the realm of The Gods to the mortal realm, where it overcomes humans by its power. This causes humans to become very fascinated and inspired by unicorns, which Venus quickly takes notice of. She's so enraged by witnessing her subjects inspired by something other than her that she ends up smashing a large crystal ball. | |

Unicorn | |
| Unico: Awakening (Manga) / int_404caf13 | comment |
Unicorn: Like the 70s' manga, unicorns mainly live at an unknown location close to Mount Olympus and the mortal realm. In this version, unicorns were created from life's secret undercurrent during the dawn of time when humans were younger. Unico's mother is also revealed to have been the very first unicorn that came into existence. | |

Surveillance as the Plot Demands | |
| Unico: Awakening (Manga) / int_48b01c26 | comment |
Surveillance as the Plot Demands: In the prologue, Venus is surrounded by plantlike flowers that grow crystal balls which allows her to observe the mortal realm. Each one also serves as a mirror which allows Venus to admire her own beauty and appearance. It's also how she first discovers Unico's love towards Psyche, the Goddess of Soul. She even uses them to closely observe Unico's friendship with Chloe and an old lady, which she looks upon with disgust. | |

Adaptation Amalgamation | |
| Unico: Awakening (Manga) / int_5ee26f31 | comment |
Adaptation Amalgamation: The manga's prologue combines the prologue chapter from the original incarnation and the first Unico film. Like the 1981 movie, Unico is introduced minutes after his birth and has a relationship with Psyche from the original manga. A new addition shows how he first met Psyche after chasing a blue butterfly which led him to an ancient garden where she grows blooms that spread "Spirit like pollen" into the wind. | |

Adaptation Dye-Job | |
| Unico: Awakening (Manga) / int_a4414a05 | comment |
Adaptation Dye-Job: Tezuka's original design for Psyche depicted her with light brown hair. In Unico: Awakening, her hair color was changed to orange. In the original manga and other incarnations, The West Wind was entirely colored white. Her redesign for the manga's re-imagining changed her body color to blue. Baron Ghost's original hair color was a mixture of blonde and orange color hair while it was colored green in The Fantastic Adventures of Unico but notably long. In Unico: Awakening, his hair color has been changed to blonde and notably shorter than his original design. | |

Viewer Gender Confusion | |
| Unico: Awakening (Manga) / int_b1a2190e | comment |
While Tezuka's design of Unico was notably feminine. Gurihiru's redesign of the character decided to give him a more androgynous appearance◊ with a more horse-like design (such as longer hooves).◊ He's also given much longer hair/mane around his head to make him look more like a boy. | |

Innocent Flower Girl | |
| Unico: Awakening (Manga) / int_b3acb52a | comment |
Innocent Flower Girl: Psyche is the keeper of an Ancient Garden where she grows blooms that spread spirit like pollen into the air. Considering Psyche is "The Goddess of Soul" and the most sweetest member of the Greek gods and goddesses' this is fitting since she actually lives up to her title. | |
