Dubbing changes

Digimon references

 * In this episode, The original DigiDestined celebrate the fourth anniversary of Myotismon's defeat, and spend most of the time reminiscing about events of the previous series (Digimon Adventure).
 * On this occasion, Mimi wears a very similar hat to the one that she wore throughout the previous series.
 * Wizardmon featured in Digimon Adventure as Gatomon's old friend. A flashback depicting Wizardmon's death by the hands of Myotismon is taken from the episode Wizardmon's Gift.
 * In Wizardmon's prophecy, "kindness" refers to Ken and the Crest of Kindness, "golden radiance" refers to the Digi-Egg of Miracles, and "the darkness" assumably refers to Myotismon, who reveals himself to the DigiDestined near the end of the series. The main events foretold in this prophecy take place in the episode The Crest of Kindness.

Real-world references

 * Matt and TK's dad, Hiroaki, has a "Sonic" CD player. This is a reference to Sony.
 * As Wizardmon's ghost flies around the ceiling in the TV station, Kari says, "Who ya gonna call?"; a catchphrase from the film Ghostbusters.
 * Sora, Mimi and Yolei visit Tokyo Tower, where they previously fought one of Myotismon's henchmen. On that occasion, in the English dub, the tower was never named, though in this episode, it was.
