Excel Saga

Iwata and Sumiyoshi do not appear in this episode.

The assassin after Ann Anzai's and Menchi's lives is revealed to be Menchi's old owner, who also happens to be Ann's uncle.

The dog that Ann Anzai periodically reminisces about is Wolf, who Menchi befriended in Episode 10.

Corliogne is a name familiar in Mafia circles.

The part where Corleone and Dick laugh with "Ha" in red letters scrolling in the background is a depiction of a common stereotype that Japanese have for Americans. The stereotype is that Americans just burst into laughter for little to no reason.

If you look closely at Nabeshin's car, you'll see "Mitsubibi" written on it. "Mitsubibi" is an obvious parody on "Mitsubishi."

Ropponmatsu 2 often refers women older than her by "Big Sister" as way to establish a bond with them. But seriously, Ropponmatsu 2 is brown-nosing.

This is the last episode in which Jessica Calvello is the voice for Excel.

For this episode and the next, Kira Vincent-Davis' name is misspelled Kira Vincente Davis in the end credits.

Beanboy's original Japanese name is Binbo(u). It sounds somewhat like "bean ball" in Japanese. Also, "binbo(u)" is Japanese for "poor," but despite that, Beanboy is actually rich. He proves it by accidentally dropping 500 million yen.

The Japanese name of Mad Spot, the leader of the HOUNDS Squad, is "Mad Pochi." "Pochi" is a very common dog's name in Japan, much like how "Spot" is a common name for a dog in the English language.

If you look closely in the background, there is a woman bowling despite all the craziness that is happening.

One of the girls at the pool was wearing a Puchuu hat.

The Puchuu that sucked Sumiyoshi's energy says "Pokiiru" as he dies. Pokiiru is a tool used to check for tapeworms.

Nabeshin doesn't appear in this episode (except at the end) because, as he said in the preview for this episode, he is on vacation.

If you pay close attention to the scene where Hyatt holds the can, you can see in her close-up shot that her gloves disappear.

Tetsuko gets bitten by an anaconda and says that the poison is working its way through her body. However, anacondas are not really poisonous.

At episode's end, when we see Koshi Rikdo sleeping, there are figurines of Ropponmatsu 1 and 2 on the shelf above his bed. There is also a picture of Ropponmatsu 2 on the videotape that Rikdo has during the Authorization.

Koshi Rikdo mentioned that he couldn't play himself because he lived too far from the recording studio.

While recording the ending theme, which features Menchi bark-singing into a microphone, voice actress Satomi Koorogi actually performed the song while kneeling on the floor like a dog and with the microphone lowered to her level.
