==Trivia==
*During the initial airing of this episode, due to it airing as a one-hour special with the next episode, the end credits, the "To Be Continued" text, and the next episode preview were not present at the end of the episode. In addition, the title didn't include "(The Last Day - Part 1)".
*In this episode, the concept of conformation is applied through many instances and other episodes:
**Tormented by the nightmares caused by Nightormentor, the people around the world wearing Alliances conformant with the fact showed to them by the rings that Ladybug and Cat Noir had kidnap Adrien and Kagami, giving in then to the Perfect Alliance and becoming Miraculized.
**Those who had never used an Alliance ended up giving in to their desperation and started wearing the Alliance as well:
***Adrien, afraid to be akumatized by Monarch and destroy the world as a result, gives his Cat Miraculous to Plagg so he could give it to Ladybug and then accepts an Alliance ring so he could control his nightmare.
***Ivan, who was afraid that his nightmare of losing Mylène would become a reality, also gave in to the Alliance ring.
****After the "revelation" that "Ladybug" and "Cat Noir" had kidnapped "Adrien" and "Kagami", both desperate to save his friends and to end his nightmare, Ivan lets himself be transformed into Miraculized.
***Mylène, who had always refused to wear an Alliance for not being eco-friendly and be a symbol of consumism, ended up using one after being both tormented by her nightmare and convinced by her friends.
**Ladybug finally has the confirmation that Gabriel Agreste, the father of the boy she loves, is Monarch, in this way conforming with the fact that the story told by Félix and Kagami is real.
**In "Copycat", everyone was convinced by the news that Cat Noir was a thief because of the titular villain.
**In "Catalyst", many gave into Volpina's illusion of heroes being gone leaving them vulnerable to akumatization and becoming apart of Scarlet Moth's army.
*The opposite of the concept of conformation could also be seen in some instances and other episodes:
**Nathalie, who was at the edge of reaching the final state of her illness caused by using the damaged Peacock Miraculous and also tormented by her nightmare of Gabriel getting and use the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous to get his wish, refused to give in and decided to stop Gabriel once and for all, only failing because of her fragile state.
**After the world is led to believe Ladybug and Cat Noir had kidnapped Adrien and Kagami, Alya refused to believe in that, both because she had an absolute faith in the heroes of Paris and because she knew who Ladybug is, and inspired her friends to do the same, as well as Fei and the North American heroes that came to Paris to help.
**In "Copycat", after everyone was convinced by the news that Cat Noir was a thief, Ladybug was the only one who believed he was innocent.
**There were those who didn't believe Hawk Moth's lies and stood alongside Ladybug and Cat Noir against him.
*The places Nightormentor spreads his bad dream dust include Paris, London, New York City, Shanghai, Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo, Rome, Egypt, Vietnam, Mexico City, Sydney, Greece, Berlin, etc.
*This is the fourth time Gabriel has (directly) akumatized himself, following "The Collector," "Dearest Family" and "Once Upon a Nighttime."
*It's revealed that someone can deakumatize themselves by coughing out the akuma.
*It's revealed what is the nightmare instigated by Nightormentor to some characters:
**Marinette's nightmare is to be the source of Adrien's pain.
***This nightmare of hers is a reflection of what she had learned at the night before from Félix and Kagami. Despite still processing the information, her subconscious had caused her to have a nightmare where she is the reason why Adrien loses his father, despite the fact he is the villain in their love story that is trying to prevent them from being together.
****When actually the reason isn't true as it was Gabriel's own choices that forced both heroes hand's in the first place.
**Tom's nightmare is for Marinette, consumed by sadness of being away from Adrien, to stop eating at all, causing her to become so tiny that she is eaten by a mouse.
**Sabine's nightmare is that Tom would become so worried about Marinette's sadness that he would be akumatized.
**Alya's nightmare is that Monarch would come to her to know Ladybug's identity.
**Nathalie's nightmare is that Monarch would get both the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous and use the Absolute Power to mold the world based on his madness.
**Mylène's nightmare is that all the trees in the planet had been taken away by aliens.
**Ivan's nightmare is that Mylène would leave him to save a polar bear from an endangered habitat.
*When Marinette wakes up from her nightmare, Tikki was catapulted to the end of Marinette's bed, similar to "Sentibubbler."
*As of now, Marinette and Gabriel know each other's identities, as well as her knowing that Nathalie was Mayura and the ultimate price when using a damaged Miraculous.
**Also, they now know the alter-ego identities of Kimberly, Garry and Juliana.
*Sabine mentions that in her nightmare, Tom was akumatized into a "Werebaker." Judging from the description, he was probably a variant of Weredad who can trap people in bread and create an army of croissants.
*This is the fourth time where there is no Lucky Charm following "Catalyst," "Risk," and "Once Upon a Nighttime."
*This is the eighth time when the Miraculous Ladybug superpower wasn't used following "Ladybug and Cat Noir," "Catalyst," "Destruction," "Illusion," "Intuition," "Emotion" and "Turning the Red Tails."
*This is the third time where Adrien is a minor character following "Intuition" and "Transmission."
*Gabriel and Tsurugi's plan "Perfect Alliance" that they were planning since "Turning the Red Tails," included to awaken dormant nightmares in each human's mind all across the world. Then make them wear their Alliance rings, that provided them peace from their nightmares and finally transform them into weapons against Ladybug and Cat Noir with Miraculous powers.
*Monarch and Tomoe used Ladybug's Magical Charm that was given to Gabriel, in order to locate Ladybug and the Cataclysm dust from Monarch's cataclysmed hand in order to locate Cat Noir.
*This is the seventh time Sublimation is used, following "Penalteam," "Strikeback," "Illusion," "Deflagration," "Pretension" and "Turning the Red Tails."
**This time, Monarch used it to gain the flying power, being the first time Gabriel uses it to get any other power besides invisibility.
*This is the third time an akumatized villain was akumatized twice in a row, following "Stoneheart" and "Qilin."
**Unlike Stoneheart and Qilin, Nightormentor wasn't the main villain of the episode; the Miraculized are.
*This episode also marks the fifth time Adrien does not transform into Cat Noir, following "Style Queen," "Mr. Pigeon 72," "Transmission" and "Emotion."
*This is the first episode to have a fusion form done on the cliffhanger of an episode.
**As of this episode, Marinette was the last person to use a fusion form.
*Ivan being the first to be Miraculized can be seen as a poetic parallel to "Stoneheart," as Ivan became the first and last akumatized villain created by Gabriel.
*Adrien surrendering his Miraculous to Plagg so he can help Ladybug, was actually a good call not only because of the state his mind and his father's mind but the situation too as Adrien was right as it would not only jeopardize his identity but make things worse and with him akumatized or controlled like a sentimonster. Gabriel wouldn't hesitate to use him in his plot of desperation and revenge like he did in "Cat Blanc" and "Ephemeral."
*When Marinette attempted to transform, she was warned by Tikki of it always not working out for her referencing "The Bubbler," "Volpina," "Santa Claws," etc.
*Similar to "Emotion", Gabriel blamed Nathalie for something that wasn't their fault.
