Trivia

• Z briefly sings "Promise for the future", a song of which the original artist is Z's voice actor, Tasuku Hatanaka. While singing, he performs the dance that Hatanaka does at live performances, while mimicking a microphone in his hands.
• The Androids which were first introduced in NEW GENERATION THE LIVE: Ultraman Blazar ～The Other Hero～ as being built by the SKaRD instead appear as Ghighi's minions.
• voyager performs "Yatsura ga Ultimate Force Zero!" in the first part and "GO AHEAD ~Susume! Ultraman Zero~" (with the Ultraman Zero: The Chronicle opening playing behind) and "ULTRA PRIDE" at the end.
• Lapis is presumably an Alien Esmeralda given her desire to save Planet Esmeralda and her knowledge of the planet's crystals' power. Her name is likely derived from lapis lazuli, a gemstone, to match with Esmeralda's connection to emeralds.
• When Ultimate Force Zero fuses together, they shout Ultimate Overlapping , which is similar to Ultra Overlapping, the Ultra Brothers' technique for fusing into Super Ultraman Taro.
• Zero suggests naming Eleking Anne-chan or Amagi-kun after Anne Yuri and Amagi respectively, to match with Pigmon being named after Dan Moroboshi.
• The show's writer, Junichiro Ashiki, mentioned on Twitter that he asks his daughter for ideas when he gets stuck, and that she gave him the idea to have Ultimate Force Zero take care of a small Eleking.
• This is the second major stage show to feature Ultimate Force Zero and the Tri-Squad meeting after Ultra Heroes EXPO THE LIVE: Ultraman Z.
• The last Hakuhinkan Theater performances were held on the same day as GRIDMAN UNIVERSE SHOW.
• When first announced to be held in Miyazaki, a visual was released that reuses the previous Stars stage show visual with Orb, Rosso, and Blu added, despite the show later being revealed to focus on Ultimate Force Zero.
