Differences in Adaptation

 * In the novel, the number of Mugino's Meltdowner lasers firing is stated to be 20,000 at once.
 * In the novel, it's explained that Fiamma was so shocked because the invisible thing negated instantly his light attack which has the power to blow away a planet, while Imagine Breaker couldn't completely negate his previous attacks which were much weaker.
 * In the novel, the power which crushed the invisible thing, which is said to be more powerful than Fiamma's complete third arm, looks like a large mouth.
