Trivia[]
In the Episode[]
- The hoops that Princess Arkayna and Zarya go through to practice for the Sky Lancers Festival are the same ones that Princess Arkayna had went through in the premiere for her training at the insistence her of her mother.
- This is the fourth time a villain knows the Mysticons' identities. In this case, it's the the Vexicons. The others were Captain Kaos, Queen Necrafa and Tazma.
- A bit of background information about Queen Goodfey has been revealed, that she was the greatest Sky Lancer in the realm. It is because of this that her petrified form was taken from the throne room and placed outside during the festival in her honor.
- Zarya wears a tiara for the first time, much to her chagrin.
- The people of Gemina finally learn the identities of the second generation of legendary Mysticons.
- This is the second time Neeko speaks since "Lost and Found".
- A photograph shows that the Mysticons, in their normal attire, had taken a cellfie with a dejected Proxima on the royal balcony some time before she had embraced the Mask's evil power to personally get even with Princess Arkayna.
- A set of new characters, "Sky Lancers", are mentioned but are not seen as they had perished many years ago. It is they had bravely protected all of Drake City from evil forces with their lightning lances. It is unknown what wiped them out. It is later revealed that Dreadbane used to become one them, by his real name of "General Reginald Bane," until he was corrupted into a skeleton-knight by Queen Necrafa.

- The title is a parody of the live TV show Game of Thrones.
