Manga to anime changes

  • The anime adds many scenes to fill the episode, since it is only adapting one chapter and a half :
    • Kojiro and Jubei try to fight her and she freezes them all with a blizzard.
    • Kaguya teleports the group to Tokyo so they can see her destroy the city.
    • Yaiba showing Sayaka she is back to her young self with her reflection on his sword.
    • Musashi and Kojiro rejoicing pervertly that the women are back to being young.
    • Kumo-Otoko runs after Onimaru who leaves in Professor Kanabo's submarine. Are also added in the episode Onimaru's minions.
  • Since this is the last episode of the Yaiba anime and there are 100 more chapters not adapted, the anime adds many scenes from further chapters to bring a closure to the 52 episodes :
    • Volume 23, chapter 236 : The Tokyo residents going back to normal, Kaguya and the moon people disbanding from the Earth and going back to the moon. This is originally after the final battle with Onimaru and the Eight-Headed Serpent, which unsealed Kaguya and the moon people. The anime adds Gekko and Tsukikage rekindling their brotherhood.
    • Volume 24, chapter 255 : The last chapter of the manga. The scene where Jubei throws his sword to determine the direction he will go towards on an adventure. Sayaka back to school.
    • Some scenes are anime additions not from the manga, including Gerozaimon and Namako-Otoko drinking tea with Sayaka's Grandmother, Kojiro training the girls in the dojo and Musashi watching TV and getting scolded by the Grandma. Moreover, the dinner party at the end with the whole main cast is also an anime addition.

Trivia

  • Insert song: Atatakai Ame by Risa Oki.
  • The buildings Kaguya crushes in Tokyo include the Tokyo Tower and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building.
  • This episode's eyecatchers (transition panel for commercial breaks) are the only instance of the second eyecatcher featuring Yaiba and Musashi's voice-overs, just like in Birth of the New Ryuujin Legend!!, the last episode with the first eyecatchers.
  • This marks the first animated appearance of Conan and Ran from Gosho's main series Detective Conan, which occurred 2 years prior to the animation of Detective Conan in 1996. In the same vein, Conan and Ran retain their original drawing style from the earlier series, with Ran notably have more normal hair without the horn.
  • Gosho Aoyama, author behind the manga version, is credited as key animation.
