- Sailor Mars, Sailor Mercury and Sailor Jupiter aren't abducted at the same time: Mars is captured in Act 15, Mercury, in Act 16 and Jupiter is taken away in Act 17.
- Esmeraude appeared at the very beginning of the Black Moon Arc.
- When the Senshi were abducted, they were taken to Nemesis in the future.

Trivia[]
- Starting with this episode through the final episode of Sailor Moon R were billed as the "Lost Episodes" in the US. This is because the last 17 episodes of Sailor Moon R had a three-year gap between the first 65 episodes and them for dubbing. This is due to Sailor Moon's new time slot in 1995, which caused the show to have bad ratings and caused DiC to drop the show and they did not purchase the rights to the remaining episodes. Loyal Sailor Moon fans were so devastated, they launched a campaign called Save our Sailors. The purpose of S.O.S. was to convince DiC to return the show to United States airwaves by means of petitions and purchasing Pop Tarts and other products from sponsors past. In 1997, the campaign caught the attention of General Mills, who ultimately agreed to syndicate the show through The Program Exchange. After the show moved to Cartoon Network a year later, it continued to grow in popularity.
- With this episode, Vincent Corazza would take over the voice of Darien through the events of Sailor Moon R up to Sailor Moon SuperS and the three movies. When voicing Darien/Mamoru, he sounds incredibly similar to Alan/Ail's human form but when voicing Tuxedo Mask, his voice becomes deeper.
- Raye's English Dub actress Katie Griffin would be replaced by Emilie Barlow until the final episode of Sailor Moon R; then would be replaced back by Griffin for the remainder of the dubbing, though Barlow would replace Stephanie Morgenstern as Mina for the Cloverway Inc. dubbing of Sailor Moon S - Sailor Moon SuperS.
- Because of the rush to dub episodes in the original North American run on Cartoon Network, every Sailor Says segment from here on out are recycled from previous episodes.
