Trivia

• In the scene where Oliver and Emiko train together, Oliver wears the same outfit he wore when he trained with Helena Bertinelli in "Vendetta".
• There are no flashforwards in this episode. Instead, there are flashbacks to Emiko's past.
• None of the events stated in the synopsis happen in this episode.

Goofs

• After the drones are destroyed, there is no debris on the ground.
• The symbol on the sword belonging to Dante was described as "it dates back to the 1400's" - which does not make any sense. This type of sword is based more in the 9th and 10th century and is located in the Scandinavian (Viking) region. So marking a ~400 year old sword with a strange symbol is nothing that would have been done in the late middle ages.
