Notes

• The title is a reference to Oliver's "Perfect shot" that closed the rift before the Anti-Matter Man reached their universe.
• It's revealed that Cisco had a talk with the Cisco from the other universe to learn about some few things about their timeline such as:
  • HR's death.
  • Thinker rampage.
  • And Barry's future daughter.
• When a fire department officer responded to Iris' call, he designated himself to be "FDCC Ladder Company Number 52", which is a reference to the New 52.
  • When discussing the multiverse, they mentioned the 52 Earths theory, which was already established in Crisis on Earth-X, Part 2.
  • The firefighter also stated that he'll be moving to the fire at Bates and Schwartz in a few minutes. Schwartz is a reference to Beth Schwartz, a known writer of the Arrowverse.
• The book revealed that some events from the show continuity did take place but in a different way:
  • The Earth-X Invasion still happened.
  • Oliver and Felicity still got married after the invasion.
  • Barry and Iris got married at some point.
  • Barry still fought the Thinker. However, he was easily defeated.
  • Oliver came fought with Ricardo Diaz, but the Flash took care of him.
  • Wally joined the Legends because Barry asked him to tell them about Flashpoint.
  • The Legends works with the Time Bureau.
  • Brie Larvan was still defeated after attempting to steal from Palmer Tech, but she remained in a coma.
• Cisco criticized Owlman's name by saying "I mean, if you want to be really silly, they could have gone with Bat-" before being cut off by Oliver. This, of course, is a reference to Batman.
• This is the first book in which the Legends make a full appearance.
• The 16th Chapter is the only chapter written from Anti-Matter Man's point of view.
