Trivia

 * Lambda had received some coloring changes. One of them was the round markings on the back of her armor, where they were originally blue as seen in BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, but in the episode, they were red. The other coloring change was her visor, as it was normally colored in silver whole, but in the episode, the sides of her visor were colored in black. It is not known whether this was done on purpose or if it was an error.
 * Lambda actually speaks German numbers “null, eins, zwei, drei” (“zero, one, two, three”) before attacking Ragna.
