Errors
- Before Dante and Arman begin their battle at the end of the episode, the bandages on Taka's forehead are missing.
- In the English Ending Credits for the episode, Señor Hanami appears in the cast list instead of Gunta Hanami.
- On Netflix, the captions misread "Ace Dragon's the name!" as "Ace Dragon in the house!". The captions also misread "He just said his strategy out loud!" as "He just blurted out his entire strategy!".
Trivia
- Episode 5 is the first Japanese episode of Beyblade Burst Rise to show Dragon with the Ace Layer Base in the Title Card.
- In the English version of the episode when Dante decides to go with Glyph Dragon, the Dragon GT Chip and Zan Layer Weight are not seen attaching to the Glyph Base.
- This is the first Beyblade Burst Rise episode to not have its name changed in the dub.
- When Dante was nervous before facing Fumiya, the way he approached the stage is a callback to various season 1 episodes, as well as Turbo episode 16, when Valt nervously walked like a wind-up toy.
