- The manga is called Cho Atsujin, which means transcendental power or supreme deity, and it was published in 1994, a year before the attack.
- The manga is very rare and hard to find, and the YouTuber paid about 120 to 140 dollars for it from an online auction site.

- The manga's art style is similar to other popular anime and manga of the late 90s, and it was made by om mat studio, a studio created by the cult itself.
- The manga has advertisements for other books by shoko asahara, which claim to cure diseases, give mystical powers, and reveal the secrets of the cult.
