 * Isaac's data is revealed to be corrupt by this point.
 * The Dark Legion's civil war is first mentioned.
 * Knuckles refuses to return to Angel Island, causing a rift between him and his father.

Background information

 * Fiona's eventual betrayal is first foreshadowed in this issue.
 * This issue states that the data from Isaac is corrupted. This was deliberatly put in the issue to leave the history of Mobius a bit more vague, as Isaac detailed the history in Sonic the Hedgehog #148.
 * Ivan Kintobor's status as alive has been debatable up to now. With Rouge referring to Kintobor as "a frozen corpse," his death has more or less been confirmed.
 * Issac's appearance had changed from a gold E-102 Gamma redeco, to a silver version.
 * A vague showing of the Frost Legion's Grandmaster in this issue was enough to cause fans to speculate that it was in fact Remington. This would turn out to be true, though it would not be officially revealed until Sonic the Hedgehog #181.
 * This would be the last time Knuckles and Locke would speak to each other.
