Behind the scenes

  • "Shoyu Weenie" is a play on "Show your weenie."
  • Aside from the Chan Clan being changed, Dr. Melody is also pastiche of Quinn Darien from the TV series Godzilla.

Errors

  • Some of the kids performing at Tokyo Stadium aren't the ones who traveled to America.
  • When Harvey blocks Reducto's laser, the sign of "The Bird Cage" changes the last word's position, so that instead of being underneath the second word, it's now next to it.
