Interesting thing about this episode is that it directly pulls every major event from a side story published after Taiga that went into Tregear's backstory -- his friendship with Taro, his jealousy of not being able to fight, Hikari being his chief who went missing, going to that planet. I bring this up because it's disappointing to see how the Taiga spark was named - in the original story, Taro named it the Taiga spark partly because it was what he would want to name his son one day, which I thought was really sweet. In this it comes off as the opposite; he names his son after a piece of technology!
