Differences from Light Novel

 * In the Light Novel, Hajime consoles Aiko at the Cenotaph of Brave Souls, after he and his companions return to the kingdom following Kaori's revival. In the Anime, it is on top the Divine Mountain while Kaori is still in the process of being revived.
 * In the Light Novel, Kouki is sparing with Kuzeli Reil. In the Anime, he is sparing with Shizuku.
 * In the Light Novel, after Kaori possess Noint's body, she has Noint's voice and eye color. In the Anime, Kaori retains her original voice and eye color.
 * In the Light Novel, Kaori attempts several times to convince Shizuku of who she is before she recognizes her. In the Anime, Shizuku immediately recognizes Kaori due to her voice.
 * In the Light Novel, after Hajime's group returns to the kingdom, they and the other students relocate from the training grounds to the dining hall before learning the truth about the gods of Tortus. In the Anime, they stay in the training grounds.
 * The Anime omits Liliana's attempts to convince Hajime to remain in the kingdom in order to defend it, followed by requesting him to lend her his satellite weapon "Hyperion" that created the pillar of light that wiped out Freid's monster army.
 * The Anime omits Hajime, Yue and Shizuku's trip to the Adventurer's Guild in the kingdom, followed by Hajime repairing the kingdom's barrier artifact and subsequently being chased by the kingdom's royal craftsmen in their attempt to get Hajime to teach them his skills after seeing him repair the artifact.
 * the Anime omits Hajime being confronted by Liliana's younger brother Lundel over Kaori's new appearance.
 * Yue revealing to Kaori of Hajime's plan to use his classmates as meat shields against the gods does not occur in the Light Novel.
 * The Anime omits Kaori's comment to Hajime after Tio requests that he reward her for previously guarding Aiko, by ramming his pile bunker stake up her rear.
 * In the Light Novel, as Hajime prepares to use his pile bunker stake on Tio, he sends it back into his Treasure Trove after seeing her terrified, and once again asks her what she wants, to which Tio requests to sleep beside Hajime that night, and Hajime agrees.
 * Hajime and Yue looking out from the balcony of their room in the kingdom's palace does not occur in the Light Novel.
