Trivia
In the French release, some pages were not present as they referred to Japanese-exclusive content.
- The few pages advertising Last Survivor were mostly blanked, with only the JOJO magazine logo remaining, or outright skipped. However, one of them was replaced with an advertisement for The JOJOLands's first volume, which released in France around the same period as this magazine.
- The survey and the advertisement for Hirohiko Araki JoJo Exhibition: Ripples of Adventure also had to be blanked in a similar fashion.
