Trivia

• In the localized version of the previous episode's recap, Valt and Cuza's launches make up for the removal of the Trans Driver mode change that was cut from the previous episode. However, unlike the actual visual removal, the sound effect from the mode change was kept in the recap.
• Just like the previous episode, the localized release of this episode is also modified to cut out the visual of Cuza switching Cognite's Trans Driver into Stamina Mode.
