==Trivia==
*Different supporting characters appeared during the show depending on where the performance took place:
**Homare and Pirika only appeared at the Tokyo, Aichi and Okayama performances in November 2019.https://m-78.jp/news/post-5289
**Katsumi and Isami only appeared at the Fukuoka and Osaka perfomances in February 2020 and would have been at the cancelled Sapporo performances.https://m-78.jp/news/post-5290
**All four would have appeared at the cancelled Yokohama performances.https://m-78.jp/news/post-5383
*The handshake and high-five event requiring special tickets planned for the Fukuoka performance was cancelled due to COVID-19, replaced by a talk show event and getting to say goodbye to Ultras at a distance.https://m-78.jp/news/post-5431
*Despite there being no indication of the Alien Groza being Grozam from Ultraman Mebius, he is listed in the credits.
*Some digital images of the DVD cover do not include the "Ultraman Taiga" subtitle, though it is present on all copies.
*The first part is considered canon to the core Ultraman Series. The stage show was promoted as "linking to the TV series", and a tweet from Tsuburaya placed it at the beginning of the Tri-Squad's timeline.https://twitter.com/ultraman_series/status/1182219385286455296 It was eventually directly referred to in episode 7 of Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Absolute Conspiracy when Taiga recognizes Zett from these events.
**The second part is seen as potentially non-canon as it breaks the fourth wall with interactions with the audience and Taigas opening artist Sasaki appearing.
