Differences from the original version
The script for this dub was written entirely without references to the original script, and relied only on the footage. This version of the film added multiple religious and philosophical references not present in the original version, making them the main focus of the rewritten plot.
 * In the original version, 9 and the other dolls were created to keep the Scientist's soul alive in fragments so that it could survive in the post-apocalypse world, while in this dub, 9's purpose is to be a savior for the others dolls and return peace to the world, this being a reference to the story of Jesus Christ.
 * In the original version, the Scientist had created a device to control the enemy robots and the goal of the dolls is to use it to destroy them, while in this dub, the device is called an "ancient artifact" portrayed as part of the prophecy to bring back of peace and free the souls of the dolls.
 * In the original version, all the dolls have fragments of the Scientist's soul, while in this dub:
 * 9 has the soul of the Scientist (this being the reason why both are voiced by the same person).
 * 8 has the soul of the Chancellor's bodyguard, who remained faithful to the Chancellor until the end of his days.
 * 7 has the soul of the Scientist's wife.
 * 6 has the soul of an engineer who was turned into a machine by the Scientist against his will for his experiments.
 * 5 has the soul of a doctor who cured the scientist from a terrible disease and treated the wounded soldiers to the end during the war with machines.
 * 4 and 3 have the souls of the scientist's first grade twin sons.
 * 2 has the soul of an assistant and faithful comrade of the Scientist, who has worked for him for more than a dozen years.
 * 1 has the soul of Chancellor Ferdinand.
 * Apart from the Scientist and the Chancellor, none of these characters exist in the original version.
 * In this dub, it is mentioned that the scientist practices alchemy, which is never mentioned in the original version.
