Behind the scenes
- The episode is rather infamous due to the use of insensitive (and potentially racist) Japanese stereotypes. In particular was the case of Rockimoto Hashimoto, a judo instructor based on racial archetypes common at the time of its airing.
- It is the only episode in the series that has not aired on MeTV, likely due to the stereotypes stated above.
