Trivia
In the Episode
- Malvaron mentions "Jekyllus and Hyderon", a nod to the book "Doctor Jekyl and Mister Hyde" about a peaceful doctor who becomes a violent thug due to an unnatural interference which causes a split personality, and in many depictions, physical growth. Malvaron believes this happened to Choko by Zarya's spell changing him into a Revenge beast.
- This is the first time one of the second Mysticons' abuses their powers and weapon for their own ends instead of battling evil.
- Princess Arkayna utilizes her Mysticon ability of telekinesis for a second time (first use in her civilian attire), to pull down Mathis' pants, revealing his girly undergarments from a distance.
- Piper's special ability as Mysticon Striker is revealed: Yellow glitter which she calls her "Pixie Blast" attack.
- As a habit, Princess Arkayna likes to "flick her hair" another annoyance for Zarya.
