Manga & Anime Differences

• Maam now does the presentation of Leira to Dai specifically.
• Added a flashback of Loca and Leyra attacking Hadlar's army alongside Avan. Leira now had a cross embroidered on her tunic like the games' Priests used to and could cast vortex-type spells.
• Displayed Avan training Maam with a club and teaching healing spells with an injured fawn.

Trivia

• The anime original scene with the fawn was readapted in the Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai - Avan's Disciples film, but this time Maam manages to use Midheal on it instead of Avan showing her a heal-type spell.
