In the Continuity Reboot note Rance 01-03 remakes and Rance 5D to 10(X), he is more of a Heroic Comedic Sociopath with plenty of Jerk with a Heart of Gold moments (mind you, he still does some pretty horrible things). In the original timeline note Rance I-IV and Kichikuou Rance he is an outright villainous character, who fights dirty, doesn't hesitate to use the members of his Battle Harem as meat shields, and commits some downright immoral and atrocious acts in the process of saving the world, punishing evil and/or rescuing Sill.

Those who yearn to see Mikki Kurusu animated will be severely dissapointed. The Animated Adaptation of the first game, cuts off several characters, quests and subplots and focuses mainly on telling the main story of Rance finding Hikari and punishing Queen Lia.Adaptation Distillation: As Kichikuou Rance condenses an entire six games worth of plot that had yet to be fully realized, along with several other pieces of additional background information, the majority of the events are simplified versions of what they would actually become in series canon, with some being completely different entirely.While Rance has slowly raised himself to this position in his games, the stand out example for the longest time was Rick Addison, who is presented as handsome, intelligent and better at fighting than Rance. The Ace: The main characters of the Dai games are all incredibly talented alpha males who excel in pretty much everything.For the most part, however, all of the major players in the Rance universe have level caps of forty or higher, with Rance (and, theoretically, his descendants) having no level cap at all! As the average person generally has a level cap in the single digits, someone with a level cap in the mid thirties is considered comparable to an elite soldier. Absurdly High Level Cap: A good way of gauging how important someone is in the Rance series is by looking at their level cap.
