*In this stage show, the Gamma Illusion clones of Tiga, Dyna and Gaia are able to move and fight autonomously. This would later occur in Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Destined Crossroad.
*Children calling out the names of the Ultra Brothers as they appear is a reference to episode 34 of Ultraman Taro.
*Ultraman says Ultraman Mebius's quote from Ultraman Mebius & the Ultra Brothers about what it means to be an Ultraman.
*Keita Rikimaru, Juggler's suit actor, was also the show's action coordinator.
*Despite Shinya Kaburagi being the planned special guest on January 4, the Grand Finale featured Yuka Ohta appearing via the stage screen instead.
*Whilst this stage show was not included in the breakdown of the THE LIVE Series on TSUBURAYA IMAGINATION,https://imagination.m-78.jp/contents/d2ViL1lvbWlfMDA4ODY%3D footage of the show is shown in trailers for the series,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05jQcXrOxWU and a "NEW GENERATION THE LIVE: Ultraman Z" logo is displayed when it plays on TSUBURAYA IMAGINATION, implying the stage show is now considered an entry into the series.https://imagination.m-78.jp/video/dm9kL2FlMTI3ZWJfbTAwMDAwMDFuaA%3D%3D
*The 2024 showing was nigh-identical the original, but changed characters' positions to make use of the different shape of the stage, Geed did not switch to his Galaxy Rising form, and Destrudos replaced Grimdo.
