* As this episode focuses on Marluru, there are numerous throwbacks to previous Alien Metron-centric episodes in ''Series/UltraSeven'' and ''Series/UltramanMax'':
** The title of the episode is a reference to ''"The Targeted Town"'' in ''Ultraseven'' and ''"The Untargeted Town"'' in ''Ultraman Max''.
** The odder camera angles and heavy use of {{Chiaroscuro}} evokes Akio Jissoji's camerawork for the aforementioned episodes.
** Marluru's cluttered, dimly-lit room is designed similarly to Alien Metron's room in ''Max'', down to the red lighting evoking Metron's signature sunset. He also recreates the iconic coffee-table scene from ''Seven'' and offers the members Metron Tea.
*** In addition, vinyl dolls of [[Series/UltramanNeos Alien Zamu]], [[Series/UltramanGeed Skull Gomora]] and [[Series/UltramanRB Grigio Bone]] can be seen displayed on a shelf.
** There's a plate of red crystals on Marluru's table, which he discourages Kengo from eating; they're the HatePlague-causing crystals that the original Metron planted in cigarettes as his invasion plan, and a FreezeFrameBonus focusing on the newspaper shows that a similar incident involving drinkers may have happened in Trigger's world.

* Humanity in this series' universe have begun colonizing planets beyond Earth, starting with Mars, just like humanity did in ''Series/UltramanDyna'', the direct sequel to ''Series/UltramanTiga''.
* Like Tiga's universe, this one is menaced by a trio of evil Ultramen known as the Dark Giants composed of alternate selves to the original ones and who Trigger is heavily implied to have once been part of, if not the leader outright.

* Trigger is first found as a stone statue inside of an ancient pyramid not unlike Tiga, to boot his statue also comes under attack by past foes (Golza and Melba for Tiga, Carmeara for Trigger).
* Golba, the series' first MonsterOfTheWeek is a fusion of Golza and Melba, who were ''Tiga'''s first [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monsters of the Week]] themselves and fought him as a team.
* There are also two homages for ''Series/UltramanDyna'' in the first episode: both of the episodes take place in a human colony in Mars and the Kaiju involved in it are explicit creations/minions of the BigBad (Sphires for ''Dyna'' who create Neo-Darambia from the pre-existing Darambia and Carmeara for ''Trigger'' who creates Golba from Golza and Melba).

* Geozark was an homeage of Gubila, here it comes around allthe way back with Oka-Gubila being an {{expy}} itself of Geozark in terms of role.
