Trivia[]
- This episode features the classical music piece Piano Concerto in A minor by Robert Schumann, conducted by Herbert von Karajan, with the piano performed by Dinu Lipatti.[1][2] The opening plays when Dan reveals his identity to Anne and the song continues during Seven's fight against Pandon.
- The song was used to both make the climax more emotional and due to a short schedule and not enough time to make a music piece for the battle.
Dan revealed his true identity to Anne.
- One of the most famous scenes in the series is when Dan reveals his true identity to Anne in this episode. According to the episode's director Kazuho Mitsuta, he originally wanted to have Anne and Shinich appear as silhouettes when they meet on the beach in episode 42, "Ambassador of the Nonmalt", but was unable to due to natural lighting constraints, so the scene in this episode was to make up for it. It was created by having the actors standing in front of a panel covered in a uneven pattern of aluminium foil sheets and an assistant director striking it from behind to create the illusion of sparks.[3]
- He also stated that he knew he would be directing the final episode while working on episode 42 and that he aimed to minimize the emotional distance between Dan and Anne as much as possible, mentioning that the original proposal for the series briefly mentioned a love story between Dan and Anne, though he felt that only he and writer Tetsuo Kinjo tried to incorporate it.[3]
- Scenes of explosions engulfing cities such as Moscow, New York, London, and Paris are reused footage from the 1961 film The Last War.
- Captain Kiriyama's words "We humankind have to protect Earth with our own hands" are brought up in Ultraman Mebius episodes 2, 17 and 48.
- A trailer for this episode narrated by Megumi Hayashibara was released on November 1, 2023 as part of a series of trailers created to celebrate the 55th anniversary of Ultraseven.[4]
