Oikawa, having no further use for Ken, attempts to hand him over to Daemon, though Davis intervenes, and a fierce battle soon ensues in Highton View Terrace, as history repeats itself.

Quotes
Daemon: You may think you've seen the last of me, but I will be back.
Oikawa: "Children, listen to me closely. Remember this place. One day I will call you back here. Remember what I told you."
- —The dark plan is still not over..
Other notes
Continuity errors
- Soon after Imperialdramon Fighter Mode appears, a clip from the episode "Dramon Power" is shown, in which Ken and Davis are absorbed into Imperialdramon Dragon Mode's forcefield.
- In the English dub, when Jim brings Yolei back home, he apologizes to "Mrs. Inoue", presumably Yolei's mother, even though only her two sisters are seen.
Animation errors
- The Digimon Analyzer uses Daemon's Japanese name, "Demon", instead of his English name.
Dubbing changes
- In the Japanese version, when the Digimon force Daemon into the Dark Ocean, the opening theme song, Target ~Akai Shougeki~ plays in the background. This is replaced by generic music in the English dub.
Miscellaneous trivia
- Ken announces the episode title in the Japanese episode.
- This is one of the few episodes in the entire Digimon anime series to retain its original Japanese title in the English dub. The other is The Insect Master's Trap.
