Death Note

Altered Scene: Light's Innocence While Light ponders if he could have acted as Kira without him knowing it, the manga has him think back to critical events that happened to him: the deaths of the bus-jacker, Raye Penber and Naomi Misora. He wonders why he never focused on these events before this time. After noticing Light's serious face, the manga also has L notice how skilled Light is with hacking into computers (as Light hacks into the Yotsuba company computer). Light admits in his head that he he has hacked into his father's computer in the past, but he refuses to believe that that fact connects him with being Kira.

Altered Scene: Takahashi's Mistake Before Matsuda is brought into the separate room, the manga has Yotsuba member Takahashi angrily accuse him of listening in on the meeting. Unaware of how much Matsuda heard, member Kida tries to cover up for Takahashi, saying "It's not like we were talking about anything that matter."

Altered Scene: Misa's "Special Reception" When Misa brings up how she got permission from the higher ups to have Yotsuba meet her and others for a special reception, the Yotsuba members have no idea that they will be met by a group of scantily clad women. However, in the manga, Misa is more specific about the reception and who will be attending, actually making most of the Yotsuba members more anxious to go.

Altered Scene: The Aftermath After successfully rescuing Matsuda, short clips of Aiber removing his wig inside the ambulance and Wedy smoking in the room with Matsuda and Soichiro sitting on the mattress are shown.

Altered Scene: Matsui's Obituary The manga actually has Matsuda reading his own obituary in the newspaper, noting how small a space he was given in the newspaper. With Misa without a manager, L then asks if Aiber wishes to be the new manager. Aiber quickly declines and L resorts to making Task Force member Mogi the new manager. The anime, on the other hand, has Yotsuba member Kida read the obituary to serve as a better transition to the Yotsuba meeting.

Altered Scene: Kida's Concern Before the Yotsuba actually meet to discuss what to do with Coil, the manga has Yotsuba member Kida (the member who receives Coil's call) contact member Ooi, mentioning how Coil asked for two million dollars up front and eight million afterwards. Since Coil wants a response by tomorrow, Kida and Ooi decide to contact the rest of the Yotsuba for a meeting.

Altered Scene: "Yotsuba is Powerful!" The Yotsuba Meeting discussing Eraldo Coil is significantly longer in the manga. Instead of simply deciding to pay Coil for his silence, they also discuss Kira's way of thinking, assuming that Coil was able to reach the same conclusions about Kira. Assuming that one of the Yotsuba is Kira, then the current Kira is in the perfect position to gain both money and status, with the help of the other eight members. Going off of the idea of money, the Yotsuba mention how all of Coil's actions so far have been based on money and not justice. With this in mind, it would be best to pay Coil off, continuing to have him on their side. But instead of merely paying him two million, Yotsuba member Ooi decides that they should raise the price to five million, just to show Coil "how big we are and how much we value him." They finally end the meeting claiming how "Coil will be a future Yotsuba executive." As the eight walk out of the office, member Shimura stays behind to express his fear of Coil double crossing them to Ooi. To this, Ooi keeps his cool, saying how he should not focus on every negative aspect. And if he truly believes what he's telling him, then he should bring it up in the meetings instead of waiting afterwards. Ooi then tries to ease the mood, saying, "If worst comes to worst, we can blast a missile into Coil's or L's or whoever's base... Yotsuba is powerful." Understandably, Shimura does not catch on to Ooi's sarcasm until Ooi admits he was joking.

Omitted Scene: Aiber's Second Call After contacting the Yotsuba Company, asking for two million dollars in hush money, Aiber then calls L explaining what he just did. L responds, warning Aiber to be cautious in his next moves. While Aiber understands L's concern, he also realizes that with all the evidence L previously collected on him, his only alternative to continuing his inspection of the Yotsuba Eight is a life sentence behind bars. Being the con man he is, Aiber is steadfast in continuing his investigation not only for the thrill it gives him but for the millions of money he can get from it.
