    Remastered version

    On November 5, 2007, a remastered version of the case was aired. All three episodes were heavily edited and combined into one hour long special, and scenes were edited out to fit the timeslot. However, exclusive to the remastering new scenes were added to this version. This was called a "Fall Mystery Version" of the episodes. "Glorious Mind" was used as the opening, with different shots from various openings before it being used.

    Trivia

    • Shiho Miyano's name shows up in one of the guestbooks logging past contestants for the arrows.
