Trivia

• When Sora shouts "objection" during the coronation scene, his speech and the music he plays on his smart phone references Phoenix Wright.
  • The Elderly official officiating the coronoation bears resemblance to the judge from Ace Attorney series.
• The coronation took place at King City, which is located in the first district of the Elchea's central region.
• During the part of the episode where Stephanie Dola releases that the person with the hood is an elf, there is a slight animation mistake. As the man in the scene before the revealing has a mustache, but after the revealing it has turned into a beard.
• In episode 3, while traveling on the coach to the chess arena, Sora and Shiro (while talking with Dola Stephanie and Zell Kurami) are imitating how certain characters in the anime "JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken" appears when explaining something or threatening someone.
• In episode 3, Sora imitates the defense attorneys (and most prosecutors) in the Ace Attorney series. Especially in voicing his Template:Nihongo complete with the white bubble and red text. Lampshaded by him holding out his cellphone that's playing a remixed "Cornered" theme of the same series. The herald(?) looks similar to the Ace Attorney judge.
