In the manga, even when Vearn concentrates his power into his karate chop, his hand kinda just glows a bit. In the manga though, it becomes a very DB-esque energy blade.
As Dai gets an inkling for how to beat Vearn’s fighting stance, in the manga he dismisses the idea with a wordless shake of the head, while in the anime he notes that “I can’t do it alone” (a thought that will pay off next time)
In the manga, Vearn tells Leona that he’s never met such a strong-willed woman before, while the anime changes this to someone “so young” yet strong-willed. On the other hand, Leona taunting Vearn about being wounded by a girl is left as-is.
At this point in the manga, Vearn bluntly tells Leona that he’ll make her his own. Perhaps this was seen as too suggestive (or possibly just too vague) to serve as a cliffhanger, so the anime changes it to be a bit more descriptive.
The blood spurting from Dai’s wound is toned down a bit in the anime. There’s also a trickle more blood from Vearn’s hand wound, while in the anime it looks more like ash (on the plus side, the anime does show his wound healing)
The original name for Vearn’s karate chop is “Calamity End” (ie those actual English words), which was apparently deemed not natural enough or something, and so is slightly modified to “Calamitous End”. The same process happened for Vearn’s other technique, Calamity Wall.
Vearn’s fancy combo attack is called the 天地魔闘の構え/Tenchima-Tō no Kamae, with 闘の構え/tō no kamae meaning a fighting stance, and 天地魔/tenchima referring to heaven, earth, and the demon world (underworld), which are the three realms the world of Dai is divided into.
Myst-Maam is of course voiced by Maam’s regular VA, Mikako Komatsu, who does a great job with this evil version. I think this episode marks the first official colors for the character. Previous fan artwork retained her pink hair and clothes (the dark skin though is in the manga)
In the manga, Vearn’s young naked body is fully lit but looks like a Ken doll, anatomically speaking. The anime instead covers his lower region in smoke and shadow.
