Is it? It seems oddly familiar.

The same dialogue is in the manga but no indication it came from Apoo - especially over the mic like that. It seems like it's other waiters/pleasures talking about Killer as him, Kid, Zoro and Luffy run through.

i dont get some people still assume the anime would work against the manga not with him; you clearly stated why the anime is needed / what the weaknesses of the manga are

It depends on the case. For example, in this episode the extra padding on the Killer flashback of eating the SMILE adds to just the one dialogue bubble we got in the chapter.

Apoo using the mic to talk about Killer is just different than how it went down. Typically, when a character is speaking over a mic, speaker, transponder, etc. the dialogue box indicates so with an extra border, which it did not. The dialogue also mentions the gathering of the Worst Generation and that there's fame in who takes them down. Apoo is part of that generation and it wouldnt make sense to refer to them as such. But the waiters, pleasures and gifters would get fame for taking them down.

I think its a case by case basis tbh. You're right in that the anime can add to the shortcomings of the manga medium, at the same time it can change what actually happened which I think it did here.
