first of all I apologize if what I am going to say here has already been discussed / addressed, according to my research this has not been the case but perhaps I did not research enough.
That being said I will address the main subject of this thread: the size of purgatory in nnt. From what I have seen on the forums it is more or less considered by the community (all this according to what I have seen, I apologize once again if this is not the case) that purgatory is infinite in size according to this scan. firstly the statement of infinite purgatory appears neither in the Japanese scans or in the paper version. To explain this difference I will look at the raw scan which comes from this site,which uses leaks from the weekly shonen magazine (number 28 2018 edition here), looking at the registrations on the panel we can see this :
as we can see these inscriptions inform of the release of certain manga on a certain dates, they therefore logically do not come from the author but from the magazine itself, it is extendable to the inscription of purgatory because in addition to their ads / messages for those who read their newspapers magazines often make some sort of "comments" on the chapter and its leaks. In addition to the fact that we can see manga covers on the panel, something not present in the manga which backs up the addition of inscriptions compared to the original.
I will present an example of this : in the shonen jump (shonen release magazine) on chapter 1086 of one piece we have this :
here we have the same pattern that the 7ds panel will follow, a message which comments on the chapter and a message for people reading the jump which once again would not come from the author (I know that this is not very revealing in the case of 7ds but it helps to illustrate that the addition of sentences on the covers are common things in publication magazines, consult these links for more examples of this.).
this therefore explains why we have 2 "different versions", the gray one will be the original, and the yellow one simply that of the magazine with added statements not present in the work since if it had been from the author, the statement would have been present in the paper version and in the raw. Which makes this statement unusable because it does not come from the author directly.
