Running Gags[]
- Between flashbacks throughout the episode, Barret lists off the names of different Final Fantasy summons in the background instead of listening to Cloud's story, virtually all of them relating to the dragon-like Bahamut. With the exception of Bahamut Alpha and Omega, the first handful of them are actual variations of Bahamut found throughout the franchise, while the rest are mostly Square Enix and other popular or obscure video game titles with Bahamut's name inserted.
