- The first special chapter has a panel highlighting the battles of Ultraman Z episodes 5 and 13 and Sevenger Fight episode 5. It takes place after the latter episode, which was meant to be Sevenger's final fight before being sent to a museum.
- The manga features three original kaiju, Jirangon, Vortex Fire and SC-2 Prototype Machine, with the rest coming from previous TV series.
- Vortex Fire was the winning design in a kaiju art contest where the winner's design would appear in the manga, held in Televi-kun magazine.[19]
- The final chapters harken back to Ultraman Leo episode 34 "The Ultra Brothers' Eternal Vow" which featured the original appearances of Sevenger and Ashuran.
- Equipment worn by Sevenger in this manga is mentioned in Ultraman New Generation Stars season 2, episode 1. This was acknowledged by Kawaishi on Twitter.[20]
