Errors

• Zaptor's pupil clips through his lower eyelid when he's laughing and Vulk's arm crosses through his jaw.
• During the entire episode, almost every time when Zaptor is seen from left or straight angle, his left eye is weirdly smaller than right one.
• There are no red triangles on Vulk's hands for the whole episode (except for the Mix).
• In the closed captioning, Zaptor and Vulk shouting "Mix!" is erroneously rendered as "Let's," as well as without any terminal punctuation.

Allusions

• "Don't take any wooden nickels" - Zaptor's joke, "Don't take any wooden Nixels", is a play on the phrase "Don't take any wooden nickels".
