Notes & Trivia
- The "Trigun Movie Cheerleaders" congratulatory messages and illustrations included between chapters of the book were previously viewable on the movie's website.
Errors
- The Dark Horse English back cover blurb has multiple errors:
- The follow-up extra manga story is incorrectly called "Badlands Rumble," which was the name of the film. The full title of the follow-up extra manga was "Gekijōban Trigun Bangai-hen: Dodongo Kyōdai Honeycombed Village no Kettō"[3], which was translated to "TRIGUN: BADLANDS RUMBLE--EXTRA SHOWDOWN WITH THE DODONGO BROTHERS IN HONEYCOMBED VILLAGE" in the book itself.
- Yusuke Takeyama's story is incorrectly referred to as "Rai the Blade: Rising." In the book itself, the story's title was translated as "RAIJIN (THUNDER GOD): RISING"
- Additionally, this appears to be a misspelling/mistranslation of Rai-Dei the Blade's name, omitting the second syllable.
- The Dark Horse English release does not include the gag covers.
