Danny Phantom

According to character designer Ben Balistreri, it was his idea to have Clockwork switch between ages.

Dark Danny is the first villain to canonically kill Danny, even though it was the human-half of Danny from his original timeline.

Each enemy of Danny who travels back in time is somehow connected to two ghosts: Box Lunch: The Ghost Box and the Lunch Lady Ghost are her parents; Dark Danny: He's a fusion of Danny's and Vlad's ghost selves; and Skulktech 9.9: He's Skulker wearing a cybertronic armor inhabited by Technus but, unlike what happened to Danny and Vlad, they kept their minds separated.

With Dark Danny as the one exception, since he likes that dystopian future, everyone Danny meets from the future tries to destroy him to either prevent it or to get even with him for causing it, with the possible exception of Vlad Masters.

Before this episode aired the commercials made Clockwork seem like the main villain. However, there were many hints to prove otherwise.

Although he is called Dark Danny, the character is never referred to as such in the TV movie.

This is the second Butch Hartman TV movie in which the protagonist meets his older self from an alternate future. The first was "Channel Chasers", a Fairly OddParents TV movie. Ironically, both were the second TV movie of their respective series.

According to Clockwork, Dark Danny is the most evil ghost on the planet.

Although their future selves appear, and Vlad appears in a flashback, the present day versions of Vlad, Valerie, Box Ghost, Skulker, Technus, Ember, Johnny 13 and his shadow, Kitty and the Fright Knight do not appear at all.

The name of this episode comes for the fact that Danny will be facing his ultimate enemy, but before the movie aired, nobody knew who the ultimate enemy was (It didn't even show in the commercials), due to the shock of Danny being his own worst enemy, even though it was already confirmed online.

Between the explosion of the Nasty Burger and Dark Danny's destroying of Amity Park, Clockwork must have tried to stop Dark Danny at least once.

Title picture: A battle-scarred Danny prepares to battle Dark Danny whose green-flamed hand is all we see, while his shadow, which is behind Danny, has an evil face with its tongue sticking out.

Apparently, ghosts are unaffected by fire.

The Ghostly Wail has the following powers: 1) Can send people and objects flying 2) Can shatter glass and bend metal 3) Can paralyze ghosts 4) Can completely destroy weaker ghosts ("The Fright Before Christmas") 5. Can hurt ear drums or damage vocal cords

Dark Danny can make his stomach untouchable while still tangible.

The last scene of this episode shows Dark Danny in the thermos laughing and he is bashing the sides of the thermos and making dents. Before the end of the last scene we see Dark Danny's face breaking through the side of the thermos which foreshadows the possibility that Dark Danny will return.

In the GBA game, Danny doesn't have his emblem, while Dark Danny does.

The secret code to battle Vlad in the GBA game is "VLAD"

In the video game for Game Boy Advance, it is never mentioned Lancer also died in the explosion of the Nasty Burger.

In the video game for Game Boy Advance, when Dark Danny sends Danny to Ghost Zone, Danny fights against Walker, but in movie, he fights against Ember, Box Ghost, Johnny 13, Kitty and Skulktech 9.9.

First aired in Canada on YTV on May 21st, 2006.

Dark Danny's teenage form had Danny's costume, hair color, and physique. He also had Vlad's pale skin, pointy ears, and red eyes. With that, he had fire hair and a forked tongue which neither had.

Future Box Ghost doesn't act goofy like the present day version, meaning that the existence of Dark Danny made him take things more seriously.

Eric Roberts, the voice of Dark Danny, is the father of Emma Roberts, the star of Nickelodeon's "Unfabulous."

When Clockwork makes duplicates of himself, they come wearing clothes from different time periods

Butch Hartman reveals that this is tied with "Maternal Instinct" for his favorite episode.

In the future, the Ghost Shield is blue and powered by a circuit box.

In the beginning, Valerie's dad only has one arm.

There have been 3 timelines created in this movie: 1:: In this timeline, Danny accidentally gets the answers to the C.A.T (it is not known how, as Box Lunch was not present) and cheats. Also, the heater in the Nasty Burger was disturbed without Danny knowing (once again, through unknown circumstances.). After Danny cheats, Mr. Lancer catches him and has the Fentons meet him at the Nasty Burger. Most likely, Sam and Tucker are there with Danny. Then the Nasty Burger explodes, killing everyone but Danny. With his loved ones gone, Danny goes to Wisconsin to live with Vlad. At Danny's request, Vlad then rips out Danny's ghost form in an attempt to lose the pain of his family's death. The now inhuman Danny Phantom splits Vlad Masters and Vlad Plasmius and fuses himself with Vlad Plasmius. When Phantom and Plasmius fuse, Dark Danny is created. Dark Danny kills Danny Fenton and destroys Vlad's castle. Over the next 10 years, Danny Phantom ravages the Earth and The Ghost Zone. 2: Danny faces Box Lunch at the Nasty Burger, and accidently damages the heater. He accidentally obtains the test answers, and prepares to cheat when he is attacked by Skulktech. During the fight, the trio fall into Clockwork's realm and escape to the future, where Danny meets his future self from Timeline 1, and escape the effects of Clockwork's power through his medallions. They fight, and Sam and Tucker are transported back to the past. Dark Danny throws Danny into The Ghost Zone, trapping him in the future by fusing Clockwork's medallion inside of Danny. Dark Danny then goes to the past to pose as his former self. Meanwhile, Danny encounters his old enemies, all of whom have been maimed by his future self. After being assaulted, Danny defeats them with his new Ghostly Wail, which is triggered by the dire situation. In the past, Dark Danny ensures that "he" cheats on the test and that the meeting by the Nasty Burger that killed everyone will take place. In the meantime, Danny goes to Vlad's ruined castle and finds the future Vlad Masters. Vlad removes the medallion from Danny, letting him return to his own time. In the past, the fateful meeting that created Dark Danny is about to take place when Jazz - who discovered the truth - reveals him. Nevertheless, it appears that the accident will still take place when Danny arrives. Though the fight is hard, he manages to defeat Dark Danny with his Ghostly Wail and locks him in a Fenton Thermos. Danny goes to help his friends and family, but it's too late - the explosion occurs. The timeline ends here, as Clockwork intervenes at this point and re-sets time. 3:The events of Timeline 2 take place - up until the test. Dark Danny is no longer around; he has been removed from time by Clockwork. Danny is put in his place, and he decides not to cheat on the test.

Apparently, ghosts are capable of moving inside the Fenton Thermos, since Dark Danny was able to make a dent in it.

Tucker hugs Danny for the second time. The first time was in "One of a Kind."

In the Danny Phantom: The Ultimate Enemy video game, Dark Danny is referred to as Dan Phantom.

Before they were killed, Jack, Maddie, and Mr. Lancer all learned that Danny Fenton and Danny Phantom were one in the same. In addition, they, along with Sam and Tucker, learned that Jazz knew his secret. However, Danny changes the past before that occurs, so none of them learn the secret in the main timeline.

Jazz reveals that she has learned three main lessons in life, but we only hear two: "study hard" and "do your best."

Apparently, it is possible for ghosts to become permanently paralyzed, since Johnny 13 was crippled in the future.

Future Box Ghost has the power to create boxes out of thin air.

Future Valerie reveals that she thinks current Danny Phantom is cute, even though it was implied that she hates him.

Skulktech 9.9's weapons and gadgets include: 1) Jet-pack. 2) Mechanical tentacles that can turn into a razor blade. 3) Phantom palm pummeler.

We learn that all ghosts have a unique "ecto-signature," which is like a ghost's DNA.

The Specter Deflector from "Maternal Instinct" (later seen in "Memory Blank"), returns.

We see Jazz without her headband for the first time.

This is the third time that Jazz has been splattered with ectoplasmic goo. The first and second times were in "Bitter Reunions."

Apparently, the main means of public transportation in future Amity Park is by hovercrafts.

The picture of Jack, Vlad, and Maddie that future Vlad was holding is the exact same picture that was first shown in "Bitter Reunions," except Jack's face is not torn out in this one.

Everything that happened after Dark Danny spots Jazz outside the classroom with the Fenton Ghost Peeler is no longer a part of anybody's memory, except Danny's, Dark Danny's, Clockwork's, and the Observants'.

Even though it was hinted in previous episodes that Tucker's PDA was somehow removed from Skulker's ecto-skeleton, this TV movie confirms that he still has it, but he had created a "Purple Back Gorilla Override" program to prevent him from being bound to the schedule that was previously programmed on it.

Dark Danny can duplicate (these duplicates can also appear while Dark Danny has a human illusion, and can be invisible from the moment they are created), make humans unconscious by touching them, create a sticky ectoplasmic glue, turn his head at a 180 degree angle, create a ghost portal, temporarily freeze someone, and project an illusion of his human self. All of which Danny is currently unable to do.

Future Valerie's costume, jet sled, and Ectogrenade Launcher look a little different from the ones she had ten years ago. The new weapons and gadgets Future Valerie had include: 1) A multi-purpose wrist communicator and jet sled activator. 2) Ghost belt. 3) Mechanical straps going across her chest. 4) Purple ghost net. 5) New ghost bombs. 6) Wrist ecto-gun

Look Hard: In Vlad's flashback, the Amity-Park-Angle reads, "NASTY Accidents for Fentons and Friends." There is a picture of the Nasty Burger on the left, a picture of Danny near the middle with the heading "The Sole Survivor" above it, and a picture of Jack, Maddie, Jazz, Sam, Tucker, and Mr. Lancer on the bottom right.

A video game based on this TV movie was released on September 8, 2005 -- eight days before this TV movie was aired on TV. The video game is Danny Phantom: The Ultimate Enemy for the Game Boy Advance.

It is now apparent that Danny's ectoplasmic blasts are powerful enough to kill a human.

Vlad reveals that he invented some gloves called the "Ghost Gauntlets," which looks like Jack's "Ghost Gloves," except it has claws and is capable of removing a ghost from a human.

Jazz uses the Fenton Ghost Peeler for the second time. The first time was in "My Brother's Keeper."

Vlad's obsession with the Packers, first mentioned in "Bitter Reunions," is mentioned for the second time in this TV movie.

It is revealed that a Nasty Burger employee is called a "nastronaut."

Jack reveals that he failed the C.A.T., but he was under the assumption that failing it would turn him into a cat.

Irving "Third Degree" Burns reveals that if all forty-two nasty secret herbs and spices in the nasty sauce are overheated, it will cause an explosion that can take out a whole city block.

According to Mr. Lancer, if a student fails or cheats on the C.A.T., that student is doomed to a career at Nasty Burger.

In the future, Valerie and her father, Damon, apparently live in FentonWorks.

In the future, Valerie no longer wears a ghost hunting mask, so apparently, everyone must know her identity.

Apparently, a ghost's flaming hair is really fire, because when Dark Danny's hair touched oil, it caused an explosion.

This one-hour TV movie counted as two regular episodes.

In the future, the Fright Knight apparently doesn't have his Soul Shredder, but he does, however, have a purple ecto-blast attack.

Apparently, when someone from the future is in the past when the future is altered, they then exist out of time.

Jazz reveals that the some of the colleges that she is considering applying for are Harvard, Yale, and Stanford.

Mr. Lancer reveals that Jazz got the highest score in the history of the C.A.T., while Irving "Third Degree" Burns obtained the lowest score.

In the future, the Fright Knight serves Dark Danny.

Kitty is present in the future, but she doesn't seem much different from her past self.

In the future, Johnny 13 is crippled and is confined to a wheelchair. However, he still has his Shadow.

A majority of this episode takes place ten years in the future.

In the future, The Box Ghost is bigger and much more muscular. He also has a heart tattoo on his left arm, an eye patch on his left eye, and has a hook in place of his right hand.

Apparently, in the future, around the time that Jack, Maddie, Jazz, Tucker, Sam, and Lancer "died," Vlad had already repaired his castle in Wisconsin, along with the Plasmius Portal, and he bought new Packers merchandise, which were all destroyed in "The Million Dollar Ghost."

In the future, there is a Nasty Burger 2, since the original exploded.

In the future, Ember is overweight, and can no longer sing because she lost her vocal cords due to Dark Danny's Ghostly Wail. It would appear that Dark Danny messed up Ember's vocal cords quite near the events of the movie because Dark Danny says the ghostly wail was his new power in the beginning. This implies that Dark Danny got the power recently, so he must have messed up Ember's vocal cords recently.

This episode's title screen is the first to show Danny's emblem. In previous episodes where Danny had the emblem, the emblem was always blocked by something on the title screen (or in "Pirate Radio"'s case, Danny's body wasn't shown at all).

Clockwork has special "time medallions" that can prevent a person from being frozen in time and can keep a person suspended in a certain time so long as they are wearing it. They have the initials "CW" on them.

Apparently, ghosts can have children, which means that not all ghosts were formerly human (or animal). This proves that some ghosts are just born ghosts, which was hinted by Maddie in "Public Enemies."

Despite advances in technology, it is shown that Technus (Skulktech 9.9) can still be hacked by Tucker's PDA.

Jazz learns that Vlad Masters is Danny's archenemy, although she was not told that he was a hybrid ghost like Danny.

In the future, Valerie has shorter hair, a lighter skin tone, and is still a ghost hunter -- protecting Amity Park from Dark Danny, while her father, Damon, has an eye patch over his right eye and has only one arm.

Running Gags: 1) Someone saying, "For the record, I blame you," in a time of crisis. 2) Someone saying, "Ew," or "Yikes," when seeing future ghosts. 3) Whenever someone falls from the air and grabs onto a flagpole, they are surprised that it doesn't break, and then it does break. 4) Tucker saying, "I'm not taking the C.A.T.," when he sees what he has to look forward to in the future. 5) Someone calling Dark Danny a jerk. 6) Danny getting hit in the head with the Booo-Merang.

The Fenton Peeler from "My Brother's Keeper" (later seen in "The Million Dollar Ghost") returns.

Although he is not human, Dark Danny is able to project an illusion of his human self. He has a different ghost signature then Danny, but it fools everyone except Jazz.

It is revealed that Jazz has her own car, which is pink. The license plate reads "JAZZ" and she has a bumper sticker that reads, "Have you hugged your inner child today?"

When Danny first uses his Ghostly Wail, his hair color and eye color changes back to his human form coloring, though he is still in ghost mode. This likely happened because the technique took a lot out of him.

In the future, Sam, Tucker, Jazz, Jack, and Maddie have the same grave, saying, "Gone but not forgotten," while Mr. Lancer's simply says "Gone."

Clockwork is the third ghost that befriends Danny.

Apparently, ghosts can age.

Look Hard: When Mr. Lancer calls Maddie with his cell phone about Danny's cheating on the C.A.T., the number on the phone reads "555-1221," and under it, it says "FentonWorks," thus this is the Fenton household phone number.

When Dark Danny senses a ghost, red smoke comes out of his nose.

In the future, The Box Ghost and Lunch Lady Ghost have a little girl named "Box Lunch," who has braces, the power to control meat and boxes, The Box Ghost's blue-ish skin color, his "Beware!" catchphrase, the Lunch Lady Ghost's voice, and her seemingly bipolar personality.

In the future, Skulker and Technus have fused together, and their new name is "Skulktech 9.9."

Major Ghost Debut(s): Dark Danny - A full ghost version of Danny Phantom. After the deaths of Jack, Maddie, Jazz, Sam, and Tucker, Danny went to live with Vlad. At Danny's request, Vlad separated his ghost and human sides. With his ghost side free, Danny Phantom quickly retaliated against Vlad, removing his ghost side and merging with it. Vlad's evil mindset overpowered Danny's mind. The two merged together quickly destroyed Danny's human side, and then caused destruction everywhere else. Clockwork - A ghost with power over time. He has the ability to stop time, alter time, and to see the future. His appearance also randomly shifts between child, adult, and old age.

Opener: Amity Park is seen, ten years into the future. Future Valerie checks the ghost shield when a mystery character calls her and destroys the shield with a technique known as the "Ghostly Wail." She then races to her home, FentonWorks, while chased by the Fright Knight, who serves the mystery character. When she reaches FentonWorks, the mystery character is revealed to be Danny's future self. This is all seen by the Observants, who send Clockwork to destroy the present Danny to prevent this from happening.

Title Screen Caption: "It's Time To Scream!"

Featured Named Invention(s): Booo-Merang.

Introduced Ghost Power(s): Ghostly Wail.

Dash & Paulina are absent in this episode.

Main Villain(s): Dark Danny.

If you don't count Dark Danny, this is the third episode that Danny doesn't appear in before the opening theme song. The first being "The Million Dollar Ghost" and the second being "Reign Storm."

After previously hinting it in many episodes, Jazz finally reveals to Danny that she knows his secret about being part ghost since the events of "My Brother's Keeper" but did not tell him until he was ready to trust her with his secret. However, Danny decides to keep his ghostly secret between him and his sister.

When Danny's ghost side and Vlad's ghost side fused together, Dark Danny was created. Dark Danny still has Danny Phantom's emblem, white hair, eyebrows, white belt, pupils, and costume color scheme, while he has Vlad Plasmius' cape, body structure, green-blue face, red eyes, pointed ears, fangs, beard, ponytail, costume structure, and possibly his ghost sense.
