Earth is spared as a result, but only due to Artemis postponing her plans for at least 200 years despite wiping out 70% of humanity. Bittersweet Ending: Empress destroys both Lunatic and the space elevator but seemingly loses her life in the process as a result of removing her limiters.Artificial Human: Empress is reimagined as a genetically engineered Cyborg with regenerative abilities called a Hemitheos Unit in this series, and both Strength and Dead Master are the same.Being immortal, Artemis can't think in human time scales and is happy to play The Long Game. Its conclusion? Wipe out humanity, wait for it to re-evolve, then rinse and repeat for billions of years until an ideal version of humanity emerges. Artemis instead decided that it would be more efficient to transform humanity, and began calculating the optimal way to do that. Specifically, Artemis was tasked with calculating the optimal way of terraforming other planets for human habitation. Is a Crapshoot: Artemis was supposed to help humanity through Elysion's automated workforce, but ended up betraying humanity and becoming the story's primary antagonist.

After the End: The series takes place in a Mad Max-inspired wasteland, one that seems to be toxic to most humans.

Strength switches her signature sleeveless hoodie for more tattered clothing.

Dead Master wears a sleeveless gray skin-tight bodysuit and a short cape instead of an Elegant Gothic Lolita dress.

B★RS does not have her signature Badass Longcoat this time around.

It is later revealed in flashbacks that both Dead Master and Strength were already on Empress' side even before the Institution's invasion began and their initial hostility towards her is actually the result of their minds being messed up after their disastrous first confrontation against the Big Bad, playing this trope straight.

Adaptational Heroism: While Dead Master and Strength are still at odds with Empress at the start of the series, this is the first continuity where they willingly teamed up with her against a much greater threat, albeit not for altruistic reasons.

Adaptational Angst Upgrade: Compared to the other animated versions of B★RS, Empress seems to have a Dark and Troubled Past that also ropes in Dead Master and Strength and may have something to do with their hostility towards her.

In her defence, the one time she actually likens herself to a god, she catches it and corrects herself.

A God Am I: Lunatic prides herself as one, with the end of the series being a final battle against her as she unleashes swaths of enemies and meteors to wipe out all land-dwelling life and start humanity again.

Characters flip-flop between both styles on a regular basis while vehicles, mecha and effects are shown in 3D only.

2D Visuals, 3D Effects: More than the other two anime.
