Manga/Anime Differences

• Many of Speedwagon's attempts to help the others are cut or shortened: in the manga Speedwagon asks Zeppeli to make him to be able to create small ripples (scene shown offscreen and only mentioned later on the anime) and also tries to use the ripple to walk on the water, but fails at it. He also uses a hammer to fight the zombies, but it is nowhere to be seen on the anime. 
• In the manga, in order to thaw Zeppeli's arm before frostbite sets in, Speedwagon slices his stomach open and shoves Zeppeli's frozen arm inside, mentioning how eskimos would make meat blankets to keep from freezing in extreme climates. The anime changes this to Speedwagon putting Zeppeli's arm to his chest, saying that his warm heart can thaw the ice. Stragely, the allusion to eskimos using meat blankets was left intact, even though there is nothing to inspire the comparison.
