Trivia[]

This is the first episode to have only one segment making this first full half-hour length episode of the series, and to be written by Akihiro Hino.
Nate didn’t say "It’s recap time!" he instead says "In Today’s Episode…".
This episode also ties in with the Japanese release of Yo-kai Watch 2: Bony Spirits & Fleshy Souls, this includes the debuts of Sgt. Burly and Kin and Gin, whom appear in the game along with the Key Request based around the episode.
Unlike the English dub of The Spooky Intersection and Yo-kai Peppillon, the scene where Rudy's corpse lying on the road after being run over by a truck is oddly left intact. It would also remain uncut in Jibanyan's Secret Past.
- It was removed in the European Spanish dub, along with the scenes of Amy hugging Rudy's dead corpse.
This is the second time that Nate almost hugged Jibanyan, reusing the animation from the first episode as a callback.
- Although in Yo-kai Report Cards, Jibanyan technically hugged Nate, after he was impressed with his report card.

Dub Differences[]

Amy has been given a helmet when she rides her bicycle in the dub. This was likely added because of the bicycle ride's intensity, and such extreme stunts are usually performed with safety gear equipped.

Errors[]

While Jibanyan bids his farewell to Amy when ascending into the sky, his face pattern is off model.
