Appearance
When he was first introduced in the manga, Law had tattoos on only four of his left hand's fingers. In the anime, all five fingers have a tattoo. Later in the manga, during the Marineford Arc, all five fingers are tattooed as well.

Sabaody Archipelago Arc
Originally in the manga, when Law met Kid in the auction house, he notably showed Kid his middle finger. In the anime, this was censored with Law simply giving Kid a smug look.

When Law, Kid, and their respective crews encountered a Pacifista, it is not specified whether this one was Kuma or not in the manga and the scene ends with a cliffhanger. In the anime, this one was a regular Pacifista and the pirates were given some scenes fighting it. When it seemed that they defeated the Pacifista, it got back up and resumed its attack, essentially leaving the same cliffhanger as in the manga.

Post-War Arc
Law and his crew's interaction with the Kuja are also added in the anime. When they arrive on Amazon Lily, they enter the harbor with the Kuja ship only to be met with initial hostility by the Kuja islanders until Boa Hancock stops them. When Elder Nyon clearly states that men are forbidden on the island and the Kujas must uphold the law, Law and Jinbe manage to convince Nyon that Law is needed to treat Luffy's wounds. After forming a compromise, the Heart Pirates are allowed to dock at the bay.

During the Timeskip
In the anime, a flashback showing him sending the 100 pirates' hearts to the Marines is added. In the manga, this fact is only mentioned. This sequence contradicts Law's former bounty poster, which depicts him already wearing his new clothes before attaining his Warlord status.

Dressrosa Arc
In the manga, when Law confronted Doflamingo on the palace rooftop and was defeated by the warlord, he once again showed his middle finger. This was again cut in the anime, as Law only mocked Doflamingo without performing the gesture.

Translation and Dub Issues
When referring to others, Law adds ya (屋) to their name or epithet. In English, it can be translated as "Mr.", though ya does not denote courteousness and is generally used when referring to someone's profession. However, he has rarely used san to refer to certain characters, such as with Corazon and sarcastically with Vergo.

Likewise, there are different ways for his nickname coined for him by Luffy, "Tora-man", can be translated. It can possibly as "Tra-man", but is often subtitled as "Tra-guy" or "Traffy" in some media with said subtitles. The English version of Pirate Warriors 3 and Burning Blood instead localizes it as "Traffie".

Merchandise
Trafalgar Law has been featured in various figurine collections such as: Portrait of Pirates, and Figuarts ZERO One Piece.

Trivia

 * Law's surname, Trafalgar, is based on Cape Trafalgar, a headland located in southwestern Spain. The cape is the site of a famous naval battle between the British and the French/Spanish fleet during the Napoleonic Wars, dubbed the Battle of Trafalgar. London's landmark public square, Trafalgar Square is named for the battle, as is a class of submarines in the British Royal Navy.
 * Law's full name, Water Law, when taken together with his battle against Wellington, is likely a reference to Waterloo, the municipality in located in the province of Walloon Brabant, Belgium where the Battle of Waterloo, the final battle of the Napoleonic Wars, took place on June 18, 1815. The battle represents the ultimate defeat of Napoleon at the hands of the Seventh Coalition, which was led under the command of Arthur Wellesley, the first Duke of Wellington.
 * Law's second wanted poster depicts Bepo in the background with the back of his head showing, similar to the position assumed by Usopp in Monkey D. Luffy's first wanted poster.
 * At the age of 26 years, Law is the youngest known member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
 * At the height of 191 cm, Law is also the shortest member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, tied with Boa Hancock.
 * Law shares similarites with the other members of the Worst Generation and the other Warlords:
 * Law, Monkey D. Luffy and Marshall D. Teach are the only known members that have the initial D. in their names.
 * Law, Monkey D. Luffy, Eustass Kid, and Donquixote Doflamingo are the only known members to have awakened their Devil Fruits.
 * Law uses the "smiley" style of Jolly Roger, as first seen used by his former superior Donquixote Doflamingo. But unlike Doflamingo's smiley, his does not have a "cancel" sign across it. The smiley most likely refers to the final moments of Donquixote Rosinante, who died with a smile before he told Law to remember him smiling from that day onwards.
 * Law's theme song, which was released as a bonus song on the One Piece Log Collection - Sabaody CD is called "Dr. Heart Stealer". This is likely a reference to his ability Mes, which he uses to remove people's hearts from their bodies.
 * Law's reaction to his sister dying is similar to Luffy's breakdown when his brother died.


 * Law's escape from the attack on Flevance almost mirrors the actions of real-life pirate Francois L'Olonnais, who was shipwrecked and attacked by Spaniards. L'Olonnais covered himself in the blood of his crew and hid amongst their dead bodies in order to survive.
 * Francois also famously cut out the heart of a Spanish hostage to intimidate the other hostages into telling him a safe escape route. This somewhat resembles Law's act of cutting out a hundred pirate hearts to become a Warlord.
 * In the 7th fan polls of most popular characters, Law was ranked 5th, making him the most popular non-Straw Hat character.
 * In the 4th fan poll, he was ranked 10th.
 * In the 5th fan poll, he was ranked 2nd, making him the only character to place 2nd who is not Zoro, who has ranked 2nd in every other fan poll.
 * In the 6th fan poll, he was ranked 4th.

SBS-Based Trivia

 * Law's birthday, October 6, comes from his surname's Japanese transcription first syllable and his name's Japanese transcription since 10-6 can be derived from to-ro.
 * Law's name was taken from 18th century English pirate Edward Low. Law's apparently infamous cruelty echoes Edward Low's own reputation for violently torturing victims before killing them.
 * A fan asked Oda who would win if Law, Monkey D. Luffy and Eustass Kid played a game of rock-paper-scissors, and would it be Luffy because he can see the future. Oda answered that while Luffy can indeed see the future and could do that to win, he hates cheating, so Oda doesn't think Luffy would look into the future. At the end, Oda added that they do not get along very well with each other, so they would end up fighting no matter who wins.
 * Law's favorite foods are onigiri and grilled fish, and his least favorite foods are bread and umeboshi.
 * He notably shares his dislike of bread with his companion Donquixote Rosinante. Curiously, the same cannot be said about umeboshi, which was one of Rosinante's favorite foods.
 * Law's animal resemblances are spotted seal and snow leopard.
 * If One Piece was set in the real world, then Law would be from Germany.
 * When a fan asked which flower Law resembles the most, Oda answered he most resembles a queen of the night.
 * If Law was not a pirate, then he would be a doctor.
 * Law's hobbies are wandering around and collecting commemorative coins.
