| 2 | * Going off the recurring background worry of Scrooge's bet with Glomgold, his donations to Duckburg's museum has a double purpose. It's a deduction so he can stay financially ahead, but it's also a social one-upmanship by giving Duckburg "the real deal" of historical artifacts compared with Flinty's wing. |
| 3 | * Djinn's MeaningfulName makes a lot of sense. His eighth-great-grandfather was most likely a genie [[NoNameGiven with no name]] who was simply referred to as "djinn" by his masters. When he got freed by his last master and became mortal, he started using the name his masters called him as a family name, passing it down to his sons. A very similar thing happens with ''WesternAnimation/DuckTalesTheMovieTreasureOfTheLostLamp'' where the genie starts using "Gene" as a name to pass as a mortal. |
| 4 | * Some of Djinn's superhuman agility and strength (like his RoofHopping in the opening scene) can be explained by his DivineParentage. Although FreeingTheGenie took away Djinn's ancestor's magical wish-granting powers and immortality, it's possible that he could keep some of his superhuman powers that could be passed on to his descendants. |
| 5 | * With or without legit DivineParentage powers, D'jinn has clearly mastered the scimitar to the point that he's capable of BloodlessCarnage through LudicrousMeleeAccuracy. Then you realize he's doing this because he's so far above their abilities that, [[ItsTheJourneyThatCounts for story purposes,]] it's more satisfying to show mercy and merely disable them. |
| 6 | * The character Dijon in the original "Ducktales" was a cowardly thief and comic relief that received complaints for being an EthnicScrappy of Middle-Eastern stereotypes. How do you update such a character for modern sensibilities? [[AdaptationalBadass Make him a proud warrior]], but ''so'' proud that it [[TheComicallySerious still makes him hilarious because of how seriously he takes everything]]. |
| 7 | * Throughout the episode, the Moon appears as a crescent on the sky. The crescent moon is one of the main symbols of UsefulNotes/{{Islam}}, befitting the episode's Arabic theme. |
| 8 | * Duckworth, Scrooge's faithful butler for many years, didn't know Gladstone, one of Scrooge's nephews. This is another proof of Scrooge's general dislike for Gladstone, to the point of him never visiting the mansion before and Duckworth never personally meeting him. |
| 9 | * D'jinn's EasilyForgiven attitude at the end makes ''way'' more sense when you consider that [[ItsTheJourneyThatCounts his story of the journey]] will genuinely involve ''fighting and riddling his way past the Greek Gods'' and then a properly climactic battle. |
| 10 | * Webby, Selene, and Scrooge are pretty much forced to use the Minotaur rather than a Sphinx because Selene is associated with bulls in mythology, and that's the costume she has lying around. |
