After interviewing Ward for the Daily Bulletin, reporter Jennifer Many places a phone call to "Ellison" asking him not to give the front page of the next day's paper to "Karen". Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) took a job as a reporter for the Bulletin during season 2 of Daredevil (2015) and Mitchell Ellison (Geoffrey Cantor), is the editor-in-chief of the newspaper.
Colleen Wing fights a man named Jimmy Pierce. Pierce appears in Punisher comics as a vigilante nicknamed the Hitman.
Some of the old stickers left by Danny Rand under his father's desk are classic Marvel Comics monsters, like Mangog and Orrgo.
Jim Pierce (Jay Hieron), the second fighter to get in the ring with Colleen Wing (Jessica Henwick), was previously seen in the ER of a hospital in New York's Finest (2016). Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson) helped negotiate a truce when he and another gang member got into a fight.
In the Italian and German dubbings Ward Meachum mentions Spider-Man when he compares Danny Rand's scaling of a building instead of Daredevil.
