Trivia
- This will be the second time the Ninja travel into a virtual world, the first time being the Digiverse in Season 3.
- It can be entered through Arcade Pods.
- Prime Empire is possibly inspired by the 2017 movie Jumanji, where the video game of the same name that was once a board game, then became a video game where people were trapped.
- Unlike the video game mentioned, the avatars of the Ninja are themselves, only with a few different aspects to them such as their clothes or hair color/style.
- It may also be inspired by the 1982 movie Tron and its 2010 sequel, Tron: Legacy.
- When someone reaches level thirteen in the game, they get sucked into the game itself.
- When people enter Prime Empire, they are given four lives, which are displayed in Health Boards.
- When all three Key-Tanas are combined at the Temple of Madness, it seems to trigger a mechanism that reveals Emperor Unagami.
- According to Cyrus Borg, Androids can't enter Prime Empire, otherwise their programming will be erased.
