Episode trivia[edit]
- In one scene, as Tiger's Eye laughed, the Toei logo appeared behind him.
- Tiger's Eye read "Musashi Miyamoto" as "Takezo Miyamoto" because the kanji can be pronounced differently, and when he complained under his breath about the lack of clarification for the word, he was referring to the use of furigana, common in childrens' anime and books.
- The Viz English dub directly translated this part without trying to alter it for an English-speaking audience.
- The German dub changed the scene so Tigerauge thought to himself that he could not read properly. In the subtitles of the DVD/Blu-ray, he expressed a wish that they would write it down.
- When Tiger's Eye told Miharu that Takezo Miyamoto was the originator of the technique that he won with against her, the camera showed a profile view of his face looking to the right and left against a white background, similar to how Sailor Moon would introduce herself to her enemies in her "ai to seigi no seeraa fuku bishoujo senshi" speech.
- When Tiger's Eye was mocking Miharu for being so easy to trick, his necklace was missing.
- This episode included the last use of Supreme Thunder.
- Shiho Niiyama, who would later provide the voice of Kou Seiya/Sailor Star Fighter, made her first appearance in this episode voicing Fuyumi Akiyama.
- In the German dub, this episode included one of the rare instances in which someone, in this case Miharu, referred to Bunny as "Usagi" instead of her dub name. Also in that dub, Fire Soul was translated as "Feuerstrahl, flieg" (Fire ray, fly) instead of the usual "Feuerball, flieg" (Fire ball, fly).
