Death Note

Altered Scene: Light vs. L As the fist/foot fight between Light and L begins, a short shot of Misa being disgusted that she stepped on some cake during all the chaos is added in as a bit of comic relief. As the fight continues, Matsuda wants to call the room to makes them stop. However, his actions are halted in the manga by Mr. Yagami who regretfully asks that he "let them be." The manga chapter continues with Matsuda receiving a call from Eighteen magazine which is proud to tell Misa Amane's new manager (as previously appointed by L) that Misa has reacher first place in their latest reader poll. Not having the magazine representative call in the anime, Matsuda appears to have made the bit of information up just to stop Light and L's fight.

Altered Scene: Light and L's Discovery Upon discovering that a series of mysterious deaths have occurred all in favor of the Yotsuba Company, the manga has Light and L discover that Kira must have the power to kill in ways other than a heart attack. This was actually a valuable piece of information that Naomi Misora was going to provide the Task Force with that would have led to greater suspicion of Light as Kira at that time.

Omitted Scene: Thinking Time After the Yotsuba's meeting, a brief scene of the Task Force and L discussing the new Kira was in the manga. They eventually reach the conclusion that Kira must be one of the Yotsuba members, since Kira is the kind of character to not be used as a man for hire. Aizawa then brings up how the challenge at hand is how to infiltrate the Yotsuba main building. L then responds, saying that while Watari is well respected in the business world, any case involving Kira is too dangerous for Watari to do alone. Never having met Watari, Light asks who he is. L answers, saying that he is "the one who appears on the computer from time to time - the one I had you think was another L." Getting back on topic, everyone sets up preparations for their next move, Aizawa looking into how Yotsuba is organized, Light checking if he can hack into Yotsuba's main computer, and Matsuda being at a loss as to what to do (as always).

Altered Scene: NPA Director and Soichiro The anime cuts the conversation between the NPA Director and Mr. Yagami terribly short, cutting to the scene only in a brief flashback as Mr. Yagami explains what happened with the rest of the Task Force. The manga goes into much more detail, mainly explaining how Kira has been able to control politicians all over the world by threatening them with death and by giving them bribes.
