From a storyline standpoint, Ajuris-4 sure seemed like a stand-in for Cosmic Odyssey's Xanshi, the alien planet a then-young cocky rookie John Stewart inadvertently allowed to be destroyed due to his hot-dogging and overreliance on his power ring.
Obviously, the fate of Ajuris-4 turned out much different, but you can't deny that many elements of the Xanshi thing were clear and present; Primarily Stewart being (at least temporarily) universally hated for his "destruction" of a world, and his own inner doubts about himself, which he eventually overcame.
I feel it at least deserves a mention under "Trivia." What does everybody else think?
