Trivia
- Betsuko's face is never shown, but there is a photo of Puccini posing with her. For some reason only the top of her head is shown, so she's either standing on a shorter platform or she's a lot shorter than the other women. The full picture can be seen when Shouko flips it around to read the back, but it's too blurry to see what it is. There's a possibility that the reason she's so short is because Betsuko is portrayed by Niko's actress in that photo.
- Sakiyama, a patient recovering from what appears to be a stroke, plays a major part of this episode. As a former gangster, the gun and rifle were apparently taken from his collection. At the end of the episode, his wish becomes Puccini's final job. His handwriting is notably shaky, since he's partially paralyzed on one side. He also made sakura blossoms during rehabilitation and comments that he doesn't like it when he hears about other patients dying. Probably because he knows his own time is coming soon.
Niko's Powers
- Since Shouko had taken Robo's phone, he warns Niko by yelling in the street. Niko can hear him since her hearing is extraordinary.
Continuity
- There's several callbacks to Voice 01. Maki recalls several quotes from that episode.
DVD version
- In the original broadcast version, the scene where Robo forgives Niko mirrors Maki being forgiven by her lover. Niko's lines are exactly like the boss's lines in that scene. In the DVD version, Niko has one extra line where she asks again in detail.
