Manga to anime changes

• Due to changes in previous episode, Onimaru directly test his power on the stone latern at his courtyard, which make the Raijin sword reacts. This also make Musashi appears earlier in anime than in the manga (in manga the Raijin sword only reacts when Onimaru used his power when fighthing Yaiba).
• Instead of Raijin statue in the secret basement in manga, a Raijin altar is located near Musashi's house in the new anime, thus the severed arm of the Raijin statue is not adapted.
• The conclusion of Yaiba's training in the manga happened before Onimaru's transformation. In the anime, it happens afterwards.
• An original scene is added in the anime where the school principal, Mr. Sudou, and other teachers panickedly watch the fight between Yaiba and Onimaru (both the principal and Mr. Sudou's appearances are cut from previous 2 episodes, which make this episode their only appearances).
• While the new anime follows the manga where Kenjuro is the one who explains the Raijin sword, it also excludes the scene where he touched Sayaka's butt, and changed to a remark about his son.
• The eight demons statues are now located in the secret basement instead of a cave in Mount Fuji in the manga.
• The anime excludes the scene where Raizo and Shizuka reacts to Sayaka's "kidnapping" by Yaiba after being told by Kenjuro.
• In manga, when Yaiba was taken over by Raijin, he destroyed Musashi's house. However, the new anime omitted the scene. As the result, the following house-rebuilding scene is also not adapted.
• After being warned by Musashi that Yaiba currently don't stand a chance to wield the Raijin sword, the new anime makes him directly determine that he will not lose to Raijin and will use the sword to fight Onimaru (in manga he had to ask Musashi what to do before being tricked to rebuild Musashi's house as part of training, later followed by another scene at night where Musashi said that he has hope because of Yaiba).
