Easter Eggs

Ultraman Series

• Akane is seen playing with figures of Robot Chief and Mountain Gulliver 5 just after Yuta wakes up.
• The Uchusen magazine from episode 6 reappears.
• Akane mentions the names of Yadokarin, Majaba, Chaos Jirak, Gobnu Ogma and Gomora Reionics Burst, when quizzed by Utsumi.
  • Her mentioning of Chaos Jirak is rather notable, since the episode that it appears in has a psychologically damaged girl named Akane, who was being manipulated by a more terrifying force under the false pretense of making her dreams come true via using a monster.
• Utsumi wanted to get an Ultra Mech Selection II toy set, which was an actual toy set containing several attack team vehicles across multiple series.
• The Sevendarake store is, in addition to being a parody of the Mandarake toy store, a reference Ultraseven, who was the next Ultra to defend Earth after Ultraman. It should be noted that Ultraman's name is frequently shortened to "Man " when addressing him among his peers, especially in the Showa Era shows. The logo of the shop also has Ultraseven's Eye Slugger on it.
  • In the shop were merchandise and/or statues of Terranoid, Kanegon and other boxed Ultraman Series merchandise, which can be determined by the signature font and red-and-white color scheme on the packaging.
• Utsumi buys a Space Mammy toy, a UGM spaceship from Ultraman 80. He also wanted to buy a GOKAZOKU Hexa Wing, from the Ultraman Nice infomercials, but they were not available. Utsumi also got a MAT Arrow-1 and a figure of Bakugon.
• Akane has some Ultraman Series shows at home, which are: Ultraman: The Adventure Begins (she calls it Ultra Force), Ultraman Boy's Ultra Coliseum, Ultraman Nice and Ultra Q in technicolor.
• The scene where the screen pans upwards to Gridman is done very similarly to a scene in the second opening of Ultraman Nexus.

Tsuburaya Works

• Merchandise of Jumborg 9 and Mighty from Mighty Jack can be seen on display at the Sevendarake shop.
• Utsumi buys a figure of Baranda V, a monster from Fireman.
