## Trivia

* This volume's release date in Japan is the same as the original release date for Volume 1 of *Arifureta Zero* before the latter's being pushed back by three days.
* The battle between the demons and beastmen is a lot more detailed in the Light Novel, whereas the Web Novel only gives a brief outline of events without naming most of the combatants.
* In the Web Novel, Liliana's personal maid Helina Ashe is not present.
* In the Web Novel, Shea's battle with the imperial soldiers during the Haulia Tribe's attack on the empire originally did not occur, but its was later referenced in Arifureta After Story.
* The backstory behind the creation of Hajime's "*Arachnae*" golem artifacts is later explored in the 2nd Season Blu-ray Short Story "*Remnants of Myth and the Maiden of the Lake*". Furthermore, Liliana initially sees Hajime's spider golem in this novel , but this would later be retconned in the short story, to which she first saw it shortly before the events in this volume occur.
* In the Web Novel, there is a chapter in-between this arc and the arc from the next volume that displays the stats of all the major characters in the series.
