 * In the Light Novel, as Meiru's room begins to flood with water after Hajime takes the coin from the alter, he gives everyone an oxygen mask before they are ejected together by the current. In the Anime, Yue uses her spatial magic to teleport everyone away.
 * In the Light Novel, Hajime manages to bring out his submarine before the devourer appears. After it starts attacking them, he attempts to escape it briefly by launching a salvo of torpedoes at the monster while controlling the sub remotely, but it quickly manages to regenerate from the attack and traps Hajime's party inside its stomach. They manage to escape after Hajime unleashes more torpedos inside its stomach while they are surrounded by Yue's barrier magic.
