* This series features a more serious (But still Comical) tone and some more Violent Fight scenes than in the show.
* The Fights in this series are more Pro-Wrestling like.
* The Art in the Herolympics Arc (OK K.O Let's be Champions) look similar to Parker simmons art style and Character design while the Seven Devils Arc (OK K.O Let's Fight Together) looks similar to Stevie Borbolla's Art Style.
