Notes
- Despite having an even narrower audience base than the first volume, it broke #10,000 on Amazon.com's sales rankings.(Jul-10-08)
- The cover by Nick Roche features God Ginrai and Victory Leo—the same character, intentionally evoking similar imagery to the cover of the first Ark, the creation of Galvatron. [1]
- This was the first English-language release of any kind to include a mention of Violen Jiger, settling a long-standing debate as to how in the heck his name is supposed to be spelled.
