WATCH TANTEI GAKUEN Q LIVE ACTION MOVIE
Adapted Out: Since the anime ended where the story truly began in the manga, lots of character were not adapted into the movie Cerberus, Sir Charon (who was possibly replaced by Sir Anubis in anime), Thanatos, even King Hades himself didn't appear.The anime said they committed the murder because they thought the spirit medium was their aunt's (who underwent an Adaptational Villainy) accomplice in her scheme to get the family fortune, while in the manga it was implied they didn't want any content in their late mother's will that was advantageous to them to be revealed. Adaptational Heroism: Kaoru Ichinose's brothers' motive in killing the medium was a bit more noble in the anime than in the manga.The Setsugekka element itself is nonexistent, two of Ukon's step-sisters are missing, and Samon Fukunaga's actually not paralyzed instead of only having motor functions on his upper body, thus reducing the complexity of the case. Adaptation Distillation: Setsugekka Murder Case's content is heavily reduced when adapted into live action.Kuzuryu Takumi becomes Amakusa Takumi in live-action, and becomes Ryu's father.Thus the family members' name all become Ukon Fukunaga, Samon Fukunaga, Tomoe Fukunaga and Hazuki Fukunaga.
Adaptation Name Change: Kiriyuu family, the family in Setsugekka Murder Case is renamed into "Fukunaga" in the live-action adaptation.A-Cup Angst: Sakurako Yukihira is lacking in the mammary department, much to her displeasure.Action Girl: Shino and Yukihira, though each gets hit with the Distress Ball at least once.The word is also included in the last keyword to fully unlock Ryu's memory as the legitimate descendant of Takumi Kuzuryu. Outside the catchphrase, it's usually thrown a few times as a mystery analogy. Kyu's catchphrase, "If a detective gives up, the case won't be solved!" is written as "tantei wa akirametara, jiken wa meikyuuirinanda!" note meikyuuiri itself means unsolvable, but it contains for labyrinth. When that girl vanished immediately after the online persona said she'd kill herself on account of persistent bullying, he tracked down the bully and killed him, only to find out afterward that his online girlfriend had actually been a different girl in his class who only "killed" her online persona by quitting the account. Acquainted in Real Life: In one arc, the killer believed that this was happening between himself and the prettiest girl in his class, as the individual he'd been communicating with had her name spelled backward.
