Trivia

• In the localized version of the episode, the visuals of Ana getting thrown on top of Marco by Xander, Ren Wu crashing into the dojo's walls, and Xander wrestling an alligator are all removed. Banner's debut scene is also modified to replace the alligator he carried and dropped in front of the front gate with a sandbag.
  • Ren Wu's staff and Marco's nunchucks are also recolored from their natural colors to a light green.
