They're not results of petty fits of frustration like some random hollywood villain with laser-shark pools. He's born to make hard decisions.
Yamato in game was a great leader. Yamato in anime is simply incompetent. Yamato in game would put the right people for the right job (when he could) and thus would not sacrifice so many of his people needlessly while putting the better fighters on stand by so far from the frontline. IIRC in early game he was n the frontline leading the JPs for boss battles whenever possible (even though circumstances prevents him from actually fighting) until he found that he could delegate that role to Hibiki. And what's up with his lack of smiles.

I also don't want to see him lose his Al Saiduq name, because that name along with his lack of human common sense is hilarious.
Alcor in game had a positively weird dialogue and positively bizarre sense of humor. Alcor in the anime is so boring.

I appreciate the anime trying to make Ronaldo and Keita more reasonable, but why do they find it necessary to shaft the other characters, especially Yamato, Daichi and Alcor, my favorites. From the short scene we have, Jungo in anime actually sounds like someone of normal intelligence.
