I saw billions of possible futures. Billions of deaths. All their pain, their suffering. And then they were gone. I felt all of it. Now I know the Monitor was right. I have to die.
—Barry Allen

Notes

  • Barry glimpses billions of possible futures of Earth-1, including:
    • A possible future where the Flash/Barry Allen sacrifices himself to save the Multiverse, like the Monitor told him in "Into the Void";
    • A possible future where all the members of Team Flash die during the Crisis, including a future version of Cisco Ramon who somehow regained his powers and suited up once again as Vibe.
      • In the main timeline, Cisco's abilities will be briefly restored by the Monitor.[1]
  • This episode marks the last time that Earth-3 is seen in the Arrowverse continuity as, in the Post-Crisis Multiverse, Jay Garrick, Joan Williams and some of the continuity of this Earth are brought to the reborn Earth-2 from the Stargirl tv show and Garrick will eventually move with Joan to the newly born, Earth-Prime.
  • The Multiverse Map features the only appearances of the main iteration of Earth-27 and Earth-32. Earth-27's alternate iteration from the Barry Lyga's novel continuity originally appeared in The Flash: Johnny Quick while the divergent Earth-32 will be only reference in The Flash: The Legends of Forever.
