Notes & Trivia
- The Dark Horse English back cover blurb refers to "Fourteen volumes," again omitting the original two Trigun volumes they published from the total count. If referring to only Trigun Maximum, this would not be incorrect, but as they are talking about the franchise as a whole (including a mention of the anime adaptation) in this blurb, they appear to have miscounted the total volumes in the series a second time.
- The front and back gag cover artwork is mirrored in the Dark Horse English release of the book. In addition, the Trigun Maximum logo was added to the front gag cover artwork, completely obscuring the chibi Livio except for the top of his hat, and the text of the volume's title "MIND GAMES" was placed over the chibi Milly, partially obscuring her face.
