Short summary
The crowd cheers and chants were recorded from attendees at Kami-Con 2003 and AnimeNext 2003.
Amongst the tournament competitors are cameos of Rahleigh & Rikochet (two characters belonging to script supervisor Liz Losey ), Meat & Mace (From Chris Niosi's Newgrounds series, "Super Freakin' Parody Rangers"), Emi the Succubus (a character owned by episode guest animator TwistedGrimTV) and re-colored versions of Blonic and Blails (two characters owned by Joe Gran).
The two combatants "Kaptain Man and Kurosiv" are based on the auction winners of a set of eBay auctions held prior to the episode's release for a cameo in the said episode.
Nylocke's line of "185 Cups an hour!" originated from Chris Niosi meeting Brad Swaile at a convention in the early 2000s. He had an early image of Nylocke from the TOME precursor, "TvTome Adventures" surrounded by coffee cups and asked Swaile if he could "come up with a voice" for him, which Swaile responded "185 CUPS AN HOUR, I'LL BE UP ALL NIGHT!".
Rockoon's red color and name change in this episode are a reference to his "TvTome Adventures" precursor.
During production for the Gemini Tournament episodes, Niosi had been unable to get in contact with Jon Jafari to reprise the role of Sniperwheel. As a result, Niosi had another actor provide a temp track to animate off of with the intentions of using the tracks if Jon couldn't be reached in time. By a fluke, Niosi ended up running into Jon in New York, and agreed to meet a couple days later to record for the role.
The voice of Zetto is credited to "Tony A. Campbell", in reality Chris Niosi using an alias in attempt to throw people off Kirbopher and Zetto potentially being the same user.
