Trivia[]
- This episode was set in Kamakura because Tsuburaya Productions' producer, Kazuo Tsuburaya, lived in Fujisawa during his childhood and wanted to use the Enoshima Electric Railway that he liked at the time as the theme.
Hoshino Photo Studio
- In this episode, the photo studio run by the Hoshino father and son is based on a real-world location "Hoshino Photo Studio," which is one of the few remaining photo studios in Kamakura City.[1][2]
- The episode was later adapted into a manga by Mamoru Uchiyama. The manga was published in the summer 1997 issue of "Uchusen" and later included in Shogakukan's "Complete Edition Ultraman Mebius Side Story + Heisei Ultraman Works Collection".
- In the episode, the Enoden 1000 series train used by Ultraman Tiga has been color-adjusted and updated, and it is still in use today. However, the 300 and 500 series trains featured in the episode have all been retired. The episode also captures the scenery of the Enoshima observation deck as it was in 1997, before the current Enoshima Sea Candle was built.
- The title of this episode is actually a proverb from the Kamakura period, meaning "a major event has occurred." During the Kamakura shogunate era, when a significant event happened, samurai from various regions were summoned to Kamakura, which is the origin of this saying.[3][4]
