Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus are added to the opening sequence starting in this episode. In addition, this episode marked their first physical appearances, as well as the first time Haruka and Michiru appeared un-transformed.
Starting in this episode, "Tuxedo Mirage" replaces "Maiden's Policy" as the ending theme. "Maiden's Policy" had been the ending theme for 45 episodes (since Mûn fukkatsu! Nazo no eirian shutsugen (1993)), more than any ending theme in the series.
