Trivia[]

This is Nate and Katie's first speaking roles in the Shadowside series, including the 4th movie.
Hot Pot's debut prompted a complaint from the BPO Association in their June 2018 issue, in which they describe that the design being focused on his groin is "inappropriate for a children-aimed series time-slot."
This episode was skipped in the Korean dub, likely due to the scenes involving Hot Pot.

Error[]

In one scene before Hot Pot introduced himself, Tate's face looks normal instead of his supposed malnourished state.
