Trivia
- The Itasshaa Robo battle is fought with the SH Figuarts toy.
- Nobuo complains that the Aoi movies are just composition episodes with new footage spliced in... which is basically the format of this episode.
- In the narration Hakase says they fought Shibuya Kouzurina Higenaga Aburamushi, but he was the second monster they fought. Although, with the retcon going on in this episode, perhaps season one canon is deliberately being thrown out the window.
- Nobuo refers to Malshiina as a bonkyubon woman. This onomatopoeia refers to a woman's three sizes: Chest, waist, and hip. Basically "Bon" means "out" and "Kyu" means "in". So basically big chest and hip, thin waist.
- The toy shop worker is played by Kamio Yuu, who has had many strange toku roles in the past. In particular, he's known for his role as Dr. Maki in Kamen Rider OOO. When we first see him, his Dr. Maki doll is in the background sitting on a monitor. However, he carries around a Bae doll the way he did the Dr. Maki doll when he was in OOO.
