Danny Phantom:

Danny Phantom: Identity Crisis

« prev episode next » episode

Technus is back! But this is a new and improved Technus, a smoother operator who refuses to shout out his plans. Danny's not worried, especially after he splits himself in two and decides to leave the ghost hunting to his super hero side and allow his teen self some time off to just be "normal." Unfortunately, Danny Phantom, super hero, begins to take his job too seriously and Danny Fenton, average teenager, starts to enjoy slacking off way too much. Meanwhile, Technus electronically infiltrates the Fenton RV -- and, then, all of FentonWorks -- siphoning off the energy to complete his upgrade. It's up to the two Dannys to work together and defeat Technus 2.0 before he drains all the power from Amity Park, and then the world! Read full recap »

In "What you want" Danny could go through any side of the ghost catcher to seperate and merge. But in this episode, there were certain sides you would have to go through (one side is merge, the other is seperate). edit »
For a moment when Super Danny is carrying Fun Danny at the amusement park, the red part on Fun Danny's collar is green like his jacket. edit »
In the opener, Danny is looking through the ghost files, meaning that he knew where every ghost was. If he knew that, he should've known that Technus was inside the "Doomed" game. edit »
When Technus is expunged from FentonWorks, the house stops on a street, but at the end of the episode, it appears on a beach. edit »
In "What You Want," when Danny went through the Ghost Catcher, his human side and ghost side seperated, but the ghost side just went inside the human side and everything turned back to normal. However, in this episode, when Danny Phantom went inside Danny Fenton, it was revealed that Danny Phantom was merely overshadowing Danny Fenton, and both were still two seperate bodies. edit »

Look hard: When it shows Overly-relaxed Danny asleep in bed, you can see he's holding a pink teddy bear. edit »
In the episode "Control Freaks," Danny admits to not being a hat person. Yet in this episode, Danny is wearing a hat. edit »
Title Picture: Technus is his car hijack form holding the Ghost Catcher with both Danny's faces in the strand squares. edit »
The computer game Doomed from "Teacher of the Year" is mentioned in this episode. edit »
Even though Danny Fenton and Danny Phantom were once one whole person, neither of them had taken Danny's original traits at all. Danny Fenton is over-relaxed, and we don't see the real Danny act like that, same with Danny Phantom, who is overly-dramatic. edit »

(Jack, Danny, Sam, and Tucker in in the Fenton RV)
Jack: Are you kids sure that there's a ghost at the movie theater?
Danny: Absolutely. And if not, you can pick us up in two hours and six minutes.
Sam: Preveiws.
Danny: Two hours and 26 minutes. edit »
Technus: (As he is upgrading in the electronics store, the items are flying to him and attaching; receives a plasma screen) Hmmm, plasma screen! (Receives a surround sound system) Surround sound! (A random objects comes)I don't know what this thing does. (Gains several televions) Ooh, these are on sale! (Transforms, in a serious tone)Behold! The new Technus 2.0! (In a lighter tone)Now with pop-up blocker! edit »
Tucker: But how did that last trip through the ghost catcher do that anyway? (Looks at ghost catcher-reads the label)
Side 2 merge; Side 1 separate. Duh. edit »
Jack: Good to see you're in one piece, son.
Danny, Sam, & Tucker: Tell me about it.
Jack: Now, to work on putting the house back.
Danny: Um, dad, maybe we could do that after the summer? edit »
Technus: You cannot defeat me!
Danny Fenton & Danny Phantom: (Both in ghost form) Oh, yes, we can! Together! (They go through the Fenton Ghost Catcher and become one being)
Danny: We did it. No, I did it... All right, Technus, it's just you and me now. Me, the one and only... Danny Phantom!
Technus: Technus 2.0 will escape to fight another --
Danny: Shouting out your plans again? That is so 1.0. edit »

Look-alike: Danny Phantom
When Danny Phantom has on the cape he looks like his enemy's Vlad and Dark Danny. edit »
Episode Title: Identity Crisis
This could be an allusion to a Reboot 1995 episode of the same name. edit »
Quarter Note Icon: Appearance
If you look hard on Danny's computer in the beginning of the episode, you can see an icon that is a CD and a quarter note. This is likely a take-off of the iTunes icon. edit »
Danny Phantom: Leaping lightning rods!
In this episode, Danny Phantom frequently exclaimed non-clich�d interjectional phrases (such as "leaping lightning rods" and "flzzling phantoms") whenever he was surprised at the sight of Technus' evil-doing. This seems to be a parody of Robin, the Boy Wonder's (Batman's sidekick) tendency to exclaim weird phrases whenever something evil is occuring (such as, "Holy pancakes, Batman!"). edit »
Danny Phantom: Personality
Danny Phantom's personality seems to be an exaggerated imitation of Superman's. Danny Phantom's cape, heroic action phrases, and how he inexplicably can make his cape and hair look like they're flowing in the wind all are related to Superman. edit »
