Trivia
- Ritchie reads the title card.
- At one point, Ritchie mentions Ash. Silver's reaction suggests that he knows of him though he has not appeared in the main series and Ritchie doesn't notice it.
Errors
Dub edits
- Ritchie does the narration in the Japanese version.
- The boat that the episode begins on is not named in the Japanese version, while the dub identifies it as the S.S. Anne. An error is avoided here as the ship that sank in EP015 was referred to by its Japanese name - the St. Anne - in the dub of that episode.
In other languages
- Italian: Sulle tracce della leggenda
