* ThirteenIsUnlucky: Tsuwako committed suicide at Makaijima Studio 13, which is where the battle sequence between Crimson Lizard and Kogoro Akechi is being filmed at. Sure enough, Ogami becomes possessed by Tsuwako's spirit so she can wreak havoc in the studio and kill Sumire.
* BreakUpMakeUpScenario: In the second episode, Iris screws up rehearsals for ''The Blue Bird'' to the point where she runs off to go to the Dragon Festival alone. Later, Leni rescues her shortly before she crashes the Dandy boat into a water control gate and they eventually reconcile.
* CanonImmigrant: The Dandy Gang, which made their first appearance in the stage plays, have prominent appearances in the first two episodes.
* ContinuityNod: Maria's backstory as a soldier in the UsefulNotes/RussianRevolution is briefly mentioned by Valentinov in the first episode.
* DeathEqualsRedemption: At the end of the third episode, Tsuwako's spirit finally redeems herself thanks to Sumire's efforts.
* DoomedByCanon:
** Valentinov's plan to kill Maria will be thwarted at the end of the first episode.
