## Trivia

* **Narrator**: Fluttershy
* The title of the episode is a pun on the original Ninjago episode, "My Enemy, My Friend".
* This is the first appearance of Princess Okashi, Lil' Cheesecake, Marmalade, Emperor Cupcake and Empress Wagashi in the Prime Empire Chapter. They were last seen in "Keep Calm and Do the Right Thing".
* Akita dies in this episode, leaving Jay, Nya, Kaya, the Mane Six replacements, and Kataru.
	+ The way Akita says her last words before she turn into an Energy Cube is similar to Sailor Pluto's death in *Sailor Moon Crystal*.
* Sunset Shimmer makes her reference in "Curseworld - Part I", where without heroes, there will be an alternate future.
	+ This also foreshadows the return of the Legion of Doom if the heroes are not around.
* The mysteries behind the game *Prime Empire* were revealed:
	+ Sunset Shimmer accidentally let the Digital Overlord escape from the Digiverse.
	+ The Overlord possessed Milton Dyer into a wicked demon, creating deadly traps and challenges in the Prime Empire game.
	+ An explosion incident happened two years ago, when the corrupted Tree of Harmony uses too much magic to the Arcade Pod.
* Princess Okashi changes her heart to join the Ninja and the Mane Three against Unagami.
	+ This is similar to "The Ending of the End: Endings" when the Overlord decided to change his heart in the final battle against the Legion of Doom and the Oni when he saw Lloyd in the Overlord Sons mural in the original series.
	+ It is also similar to "The Secret of Friendship", in which Grimfax frees Twilight, Snowblossom and Kataru from their cells after he found out that Cloning Zane was once a good person.
* This is the Overlord's first appearance in *Living the Pony Life*.
