Trivia[]
In the episode[]
- The first time Dan loses in a battle. Presumably due to not having Drago at that time and finally a rematch as redemption to win with.
- When Dan was thinking about his battle against Rikimaru, he imagines a different scenario that depicts what would have happened to Drago if he had listened to Dan and not broken free from the Ability, which ends with Siege deflecting Drago's attack back on him thanks to the effect of the Gate Card.
Background[]
English dub changes[]
- The shot of the river and the school is shortened for time.
- The scene where Masquerade talks to Ryo is shortened for time.
- The scene where Ryo is in front of the mask is shortened also. Also, it fades from white instead of purple.
- When the battle is about to start, Dan thinks to himself "This geek is going down." But this doesn't happen in the original.
- The Bakupod shot of Reaper alone on the battlefield is shortened for time.
- The scene of Dan holding Drago and talking to him is shorter.
- The shot of the bridge and Drago and Dan laying down is a lot shorter.
- Drago attacking Reaper is shorter in this version.
