Characters

Math Magic

  • 72 ÷ 8 = 9
  • 72 ÷ 9 = 8
  • 9(8) - 1(8) = 8(8)
  • 8 × 1 = 8
  • 8 ÷ 1 = 8
  • 8(9) + 8(1) = 8(10)
  • 8(10) = 80

Trivia

  • On the CBeebies schedule and BBC iPlayer, the "Two" in this episode's title and synopsis is not capitalized.
  • Octonaughty returns in this episode. His last physical appearance was in Octoblock and the Path of Justice.
  • This is the second eight times table prologue episode, the first being We Need Another Hero.
  • Seventy-Two may be a superhero just like Eight, as she also has a superhero mask.
  • This is one of the many times where the beach is the setting.
  • Despite being released after Super Eights Assemble, it's possible that this episode chronologically takes place before the former and after We Need Another Hero.
  • Octonaughty uses the same remote from the Crossover special.
  • When Octonaughty mentioned that the ring is made of pure octonite, and that Octoblock's powers are useless, they made a reference to Octoblock to the Rescue! where The Terrible Twos said the same thing.
  • Eight saying "Yikes!" Is reused once again from Terrible Twosday.
  • Eighty's "Dinoctoblock, smash!" line is reused from Sixty's High Score.
