Trivia[edit]

  • "Dissociative recombination" is a scientific term in chemistry. It is "a chemical process in which a positive polyatomic ion recombines with an electron, and as a result, the neutral molecule dissociates," and it is important in understanding interstellar and atmospheric chemistry.
  • Episode 15's CN release date coincides with the 10th anniversary release of Kal'tsit's concept art as Hai Mao's OC (original character) for the 2015 Pixiv Fantasia T event, long before Arknights was released. For further information, see Kal'tsit's Trivia.
  • Episode 15 is the first episode to feature distinct time/region indicators for separate scenes. This feature is also implemented in the Global release, starting from Ending a Grand Overture onwards.
  • In the CN version, the operation names for stages 15-17 to 15-20 form a single cohesive sentence. Combined, it says: "她"从未怀疑,从未远离直至,此刻得以重回. The sentence roughly translates to "'She' never doubted, never left until, this moment (she) resurrected."
  • The number of Elite Operators who participate in-story is 12, the same number as a full squad of Operators.
  • The descriptions of H15-1 to H15-4 are short excerpts from the prose poem On Death by Kahlil Gibran.
