That scene really does show Ochi is only 12(-ish); he's being very bratty here.
Yes, they very subtily changed the Sai-Hikaru interaction throughout the anime. I must admit I like the anime version better. Maybe because I saw it first and read the manga after....
[nods] The fact that Ochi is still a child comes through strongly in these chapters. Makes me like him more, really - I know plenty of kids who act the same way.
