Even the point gauge for the Link Monsters included Link Markers. <ref name="newdirector" /> Also another interesting thing is that since the same episode, the series is under supervision of Satou Tatsuo (best known as the director of the ''[[wikipedia:Martian Successor Nadesico|Martian Successor Nadesico]]'' series), who oversees Asano's direction of the series.<ref name="Ep.14 credits">{{Episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!
