Minor Detail Errors and Differences
For whatever reason, minor errors have been made within this series in comparison to the anime. The following is a list of noteable errors or slight differences:
 * Page 58 onward, Miguel Aimas's GINN and its shield bear his skull and crossbones insignia, however, this is not Miguel's custom orange GINN was damaged in a previous battle beyond swift repair and in the anime his green loaner GINN.
 * The Strike is sitting when Kira takes control from Lt. Ramius.
 * Lt. Ramius does not pass out due to her wounds, nor is she tended to by Kira's friends (that scene is skipped altogether). Right after the battle with Miguel, Commander Le Creuset shows up; he does not get a report from Miguel after his GINN was self-destructed. The Buster striker pack was conveniently around to use to fight Le Creuset and damage the colony.
 * During the verbal exchange between Dearka, Yzak and Nicol on the Gamow, regarding the colony's possible (and coming fate) in the pilot's locker room, Yzak is not sitting, he has just arrived in the locker room. The conversation is not about mounting D equipment for the GINNs on the next sorti because Le Creuset has only just returned to the Vesalius, instead, Dearka tells Yzak that he has heard that the Commander's DINN lost an arm and he also makes a remark (though it's later than in the anime) that he wonder's where Rusty is (Rusty is considered a friend to Dearka and Yzak, not Athrun). Nicol mentions that the two of them may be stuck on the OS.
 * When Le Creuset returns, he orders only two GINNs (not three) to mount an attack with the Aegis at the colony as Athrun has just submitted the Aegis's data to him.
 * Kira kills the unnamed pilot of one GINN with the Sword Striker's boomerang and then kills Miguel with the sword. The archangel is what destroy's the colony's interior wall in this battle, not just the damage from the mobile suit battle, however, Miguel's GINN no longer bears his insignia (so, this error was fixed).
 * In this anime-based manga, Nicol's character seems more rounded and stronger, though still clearly gentile. It seems to be a positive change for the series.
 * During the Archangle's excursion to the wreckage of Junius 7, Kira shoots down a Reconnaissance GINN that we later learn was looking for survivors of the Silverwind. In this manga adaptation, that GINN was not alone, it was in a 3-man unit under Nicol's command. After destroying the two Reconnaissance GINNs a battle occurs between the Blitz and the Stike where Nicol uses the Mirage Colloid system. It is also here that the Archangle targets the Blitz from its shooting telemetry while using the Mirage Colloid, instead of a seperate battle during the anime version. Note: This change does not take away from the story.
 * During the manga adaptation, Nicol Amalfi's personallity is better developed showing that he's likely not a coward at all, simply intellegent and cautious. It seems that this improved depth inproves the unity of the Le Creuset Team, leaving them less divided characteristically but while still withholding the same feeling.
