*The first part ends with Geed heading to Planet Ain to stop Gillvalis, with Hikari mentioning he is willing to help him with his science anytime if he needs it, referencing the events of episode 6 of Ultraman Z where Geed's Riser is damaged after fighting Gillvalis and so Hikari sends him a Z Riser.
*This stage show reveals the origin of Z's "chant my name" catchphrase, as Z, now understanding the significance of the Ultraman title, wants to become an admirable hero whom many people call his name.
*The voice drama's title card is the same as those of Ultraman Z & Ultraman Zero Voice Drama, but is titled just Ultraman Z Voice Drama as Zero does not appear, and is labeled as a .
*A voice drama episode was also shown during NEW GENERATION THE LIVE: Ultraman Decker STAGE 3 in 2022, but unlike this one, was not included in the livestream or its archive.
