What does this one say?
Akisame Kouetsuji
Martial Art: Juujutsu
Age: 28 (is that a typo?)
Sex: Male
Height: 178 cm
Weight: 85 kg
Hobbies: Haiku, shougi, go
Likes: soba water, abekawa-mochi, ink paintings
Dislikes: Bell peppers...
Personality: Calm and collected! Quick-witted! A person who achieved peculiar enlightenment. Within the people of Ryouzanpaku he is relatively normal, but this type is the most scary once he gets angry.
Other: He is the peacemaker of Ryouzanpaku, own an orthopedic clinic and is the dojo's breadwinner. He's always thinking two or three steps ahead and has perfected his martial art. And, because he himself was bullied as a child, he always watches over Kenichi from the shadows.
*********
If you compare this profile to the one in the guidebook, then he aged 11 years, lost 5 kg weight and grew 2 centimeters.

Probably the earlier one was an previous model of Akisame as he has been updated throughout both manga's. We would not want Akisame to be 12 when Kenichi was born, literally everyone would be terribly young in this dojo(Under 30 wtf)!!!

The changes between Tatakae! and HSDK are quite interesting. I'm currently re-reading everything and actually I liked some things from Tatakae! better than how things went in HSDK.Probably the earlier one was an previous model of Akisame as he has been updated throughout both manga's.

And I also noticed that Tatakae!Apachai had a tattoo. I wonder why Matsuena got rid of it.

Are those two strings tattooed to Apachia's shoulder? Kinda random I suppose.

It's two snakes. I have seen that symbol somewhere before, but I can't remember where. Ouroboros? But that is usually only one snake,isn't it?Are those two strings tattooed to Apachia's shoulder? Kinda random I suppose.

I remember that from american history in like the civil war, only that was one snake. Also they are eating each other, symbolism for Apachia and Agaird

If I go by wikipedia, Ouroboros:
often symbolizes self-reflexivity or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return, and other things such as the phoenix which operate in cycles that begin anew as soon as they end. It can also represent the idea of primordial unity related to something existing in or persisting from the beginning with such force or qualities it cannot be extinguished. While first emerging in Ancient Egypt, the Ouroboros has been important in religious and mythological symbolism, but has also been frequently used in alchemical illustrations, where it symbolizes the circular nature of the alchemist's opus. It is also often associated with Gnosticism, and Hermeticism.
I'm not sure if it refers to Apachai's and Agaard's relationship. After all this is still Tatakae!Apachai and I don't think Matsuena has the story planned out that far back then. And if had had some meaning for those two, he surely would have kept his tatoo in HSDK.
