*The cover of this volume is a counterpart to Volume 77's, as Volume 77 features the antagonists while this volume features the protagonists in similar positions. This was also used in Volumes 21 and 22, but with Baroque Works instead of the Donquixote Pirates, and in Volumes 42 and 43, with the CP9.
*On the inside cover spine of this volume, Mansherry's face is replaced with Pandaman's (possibly Pandawoman).
