A possible future easter egg reference to Walt Disney may appear in the opening to the Japanese 1995 Square RPG video game Chrono Trigger. You can see this in the central market area of the Leene Square / Millennial Fair in 1000AD. There you will find a pink balloon over the stalls in the shape of the head of Disney's Mickey Mouse. Square would later team up with Disney on the Kingdom Hearts RPG in 2002 combining their game characters over the years with Disney cartoon favorites such as Goofy & Donald Duck. No Chrono Trigger characters appeared in the series of 14 games as of 2025 but a 15th game has been announced with an undetermined release date in the future.
Chrono Trigger featured work by some of the top RPG staff of the time including Final Fantasy's Hironobu Sakaguchi, Dragon Quest's Yuji Horii & character designs by Dragonball mangaka Akira Toriyama.

This video comes way of related research (please see my other videos on the subject) I had compiled looking at TECMO's Ninja Gaiden games. Masato Kato was writer on the trilogy of NES / Famicom adaptations and later worked for Square on Chrono Trigger. Interestingly, there are apparent references to the Lupin III anime films in the 1988 Ninja Gaiden arcade game and Masato Kato had also worked with animation studio Gainax on The Secret Of Blue Water (Nadia) games. Japan's own Walt Disney, Hayao Miyazaki was a co-creator on NADIA.

Avex's Super Eurobeat music series also fits into these connections: They produced a special Eurobeat Disney tribute in 2000, remixing the well known songs of the films and TV series. What sounds like samples from BGM music in Ninja Gaiden may also be heard on future Eurobeat CD's.

00:00We're talking about knowledge of the future in movies, YouTube channel, Easter Egg Psychic.
00:05In this video, I mention a Walt Disney reference that may appear in the 1995 Square RPG video game Chrono
00:15Trigger.
00:15This was released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, also known as the Super Famicom.
00:22This featured some of the top RPG game staff of the era, including Hironobu Sakaguchi, the creator of Final Fantasy,
00:32Yuji Horii, creator of Dragon Quest, and Dragon Ball artist and writer Akira Toriyama.
00:40Alright, so to see this, the location is in the time period 1080 in the opening of the game.
00:47Yes, Chrono Trigger is about time travel.
00:49The location is Lean Square, where the Millennial Fair is taking place.
00:56I thought the Disney reference in this game may be a pink balloon that hangs over one of the stalls
01:03in the market area in the center of the fair.
01:07If you take a look at this, it looks like the Disney Mickey Mouse logo.
01:12Interestingly, Walt Disney and Square teamed up a few years later on the Kingdom Hearts RPG.
01:21Versions of this were ported to many systems, including the PlayStation 2.
01:25In this game, Square took its own role-playing characters that the game fans knew over the years,
01:32and they teamed them up with the traditional Disney characters, such as Donald Duck and Goofy.
01:40From the original 2002 Kingdom Hearts release, there were many sequels.
01:47As of this recording in 2025, there is a 15th game planned in this series with an undetermined future release
01:59date.
01:59There were no characters or references to Chrono Trigger, per se, in the Kingdom Hearts installments of the past.
02:08But this may be a possibility for the future.
02:11This video is actually research I had done after looking at the Ninja Gaiden game franchise created by Tecmo.
02:21You can see my other videos on that subject.
02:25Game artist, director, and writer Masato Kato, for example, of Ninja Gaiden, later worked with Square on Chrono Trigger.
02:35He also worked with fan-favorite Japanese animators Gainax on Nadia the Secret of Blue Water, Fushige no Emi no
02:44Nadia.
02:45Hideaki Anno, who later worked on Evangelion, co-directed and was a co-creator on this,
02:53along with Japan's own Walt Disney, Haya Miyazaki.
02:57In my other videos, you can also see apparent links to the Super Eurobeat music series.
03:04AVEX and the Eurobeat artists did a special series of music albums where they remixed the popular Disney theme music
03:16over the years.
03:17And this was called Eurobeat Disney, released in the year 2000.
03:21And as I mentioned, why that's relevant to Ninja Gaiden is that in the 88 arcade game,
03:28there are apparent references to the Lupin 3 anime films, including Castle Cagliosha from 79, which Haya Miyazaki directed.
03:39And there's some Nostradamus imagery in Ninja Gaiden.
03:43Interestingly enough, the 1995 Lupin 3 film deals with the subject of the 16th century French prophet.
03:53My YouTube channel is Easter Egg Psychic.
03:55There I go back, I look at movies and television from the past.
03:58I analyze these for possible references to future media.
04:01These may appear in the form of anecdotes, idioms, anagrams.
04:06Hidden in the subtext of the work in question,
04:08I also use an unconventional method where I look at the likenesses of the actors.
04:15And what I found is you can take the likenesses,
04:18match these up to some of the anecdotal items,
04:21and show past, present, and future information about actors
04:25and other personalities that may resemble the personalities in the movie or television episode that you're watching.

04:40Thanks for watching.
