The title page of chapter 200 is repurposed as a title page for chapter 215 ("Chapter 21") on page 1 in its original black and white. (This title page illustration is also used for each issue's main title page, as reproduced on the third issue's page.) The title pages for chapters 215 and 216, both featuring Yamcha, are omitted.
"Heroes" is misspelled on the first page of "Chapter 22". This error was corrected in the Viz Graphic Novel version of DBZ Volume 2, both on the chapter's first page and in the Title Page Gallery at the back of the book.[1]
Cover Illustration
This issue's Akira Toriyama cover illustration was drawn as a title page for Dragon Ball Chapter 237, published in the 1989 #37 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump, on sale 19 December 1988 in Japan. The illustration gets a ¾-page reprint in Dragon Ball Daizenshuu 1 ("The Complete Illustrations")[2] and a smaller reprint in the Dragon Ball Chōgashū ("A Visual History").[3]
