I think I understand what Starit tried to say. He meant that in the manga and in the 114 episode of Shipuden, Itachi joining the Akatsuki is shown differently than in this episode. In the first case, Itachi joins the Akatsuki within some kind of Shrine with all the Akatsuki members present and Pain calling him a new recruit, there he's still in his Anbu uniform, but in this episode Itachi firsly meets Tobi, who then introduses him to Oro and Pain, and when the latter gives him the ring, Itachi already wears an Akatsuki cloak. Also, in the 114 episode version, Oro's attemp tp steal Itachi's body presumably happened not so long after their meeting in the shrine, while Itachi Shinden is showing us Itachi's partnership with Juzo before that.
