The central romance between the protagonist, Amaterasu (a divine immortal Emperor), and the Fatima Lachesis is slightly altered. In Version 0.8, Lachesis’s agency is increased. She is less a "tool" and more an active co-conspirator in the cosmic drama, which aligns with Nagano’s maturing perspective on his own work.

In the finalized versions, Nagano’s Mortar Headds are often drawn with a "Möwe" style—sleek, organic, and covered in intricate filigree that makes them look more like jewelry or religious icons than war machines. In Version 0.8, the mechanics are distinctly "harder." The Knight of Gold, perhaps the most iconic mecha in the series, appears bulkier in Version 0.8, with more prominent mechanical joints and a stiffer silhouette. The mono-eye sensors are larger, and the armor plating looks denser. It is a style that bridges the gap between the Real Robot genre (like Gundam) and the Fantasy Robot genre Nagano would eventually perfect. It feels more industrial and less divine.
