- The Professor's lower body is never shown in the episode itself, but set materials printed in the anime art book depict him with normal legs, unlike his manga counterpart.
- Professor Nebraska is defeated by Vash, who uses Tonis' toy gun to shoot suction cup bullets at his face and then chants "This world is made of LOVE AND PEACE!" at the stunned Professor. In the manga, the Professor is defeated by Meryl and Milly, who shoot him with their guns, causing him to be flung into a nearby cactus.
- In the manga, Meryl announces Vash has been designated as a localized disaster and that his bounty had been rendered invalid before the events of the chapter began.
