Synopsis
Ken escapes to the Digi-World, leaving his parents behind, knowing that the digidestined would seek him out in the real world.

Knowing it’ll be hard for them to fight against their friends, Ken’s plan is to now use their own Digimon against them.

Continuity errors

 * The last time Greymon became SkullGreymon (in The Arrival of SkullGreymon, series one), he lost the ability to speak. However, in the English dub of this episode, he is heard announcing his name after digivolution.

Animation errors

 * When opening the digiport, Davis is the one to say "Digiport, open". However, Yolei's D-3 is seen pointing at the screen. This is most likely an error in the English dubbing, rather than in the animation.

Dubbing changes

 * Ken's farewell email to his parents is different in both versions:
 * Japanese: "This world is no longer good enough. Goodbye. You're all insects."
 * English: "Goodbye to all of you. Your trivial lives will plague me no longer. My destiny awaits."

Real-world references

 * The English title of this episode is a reference to the folktale, "The Emperor's New Clothes".

Miscellaneous trivia
