 * Axel is the one who teaches Roxas to fight rather than Marluxia.
 * Xion reveals her face to Roxas before they leave for their mission on Day 25. In the game, she revealed her face just after they arrived in Twilight Town.
 * In Roxas's dream with Xemnas, he hears Sora's name the first time in the dream.
 * On the seventh day, before Roxas wakes up, three Dusks attempt to play a prank on him by sticking a clothes pin on his nose. Then, Axel comes in and stops them.
 * Zexion never goes on a mission with Roxas, he just introduces himself and gives Roxas some fish he made.
 * Sora, Donald, and Goofy make a brief physical appearance just as they're about to fight Marluxia in Castle Oblivion. This was never seen in the game since Sora and the others never make a physical appearance.
 * Xion is right-handed in the manga, where's in the game, she is ambidextrous.
 * While Roxas is in a coma, the Dusks used oil paints to draw on his face, making him look like Xigbar and other faces.
 * Demyx visits Roxas during his coma with Xion, however he is dragged back to work.
 * When Xion defeats the Darkside in Twilight Town it releases a Heart even though its a Pureblood Heartless.
 * When Xion and Axel first meet, Axel sees her face without the hood up from the beginning.
 * Roxas fights the Antlion with Xion and aid from Genie.
 * Genie never asks who Roxas and Xion are.
 * The Elixirs have expiration dates. Once this was shown when Axel said "This is past it's expiration date!"
 * Roxas already knew that Xion could wield the Keyblade, but in the game Roxas didn't find out until they defeated the Darkside.
 * Axel gets the winner stick when he is ordered to go to Castle Oblivion by Saix, in the game the one who get winner stick is only Roxas not Axel.
