Depending on the animators, Raoh also appears older and more rugged than his manga counterpart in some episodes. Modern installments, such as the ''[[Shin Kyūseishu Densetsu Hokuto no Ken|True Savior Legend]]'' series and ''[[Ten no Haoh]]'' are closer to the manga, depicting Raoh with silver and blonde hair respectively and lighter skin tones. | ||
