Trivia

• This is the first time Nate summons a legendary Yo-kai in the anime.
• Some of the dreams that the characters have are references or parodies:
  • The overly-stretched Shogunyan or Jibanyan in dreams is a possible reference to the Nana-chan doll monument found in Nagoya, Japan.
    • Ironically, the location would be visited in EP153, with the doll dressed as Jibanyan.
  • Katie's dream may be a reference to the "eight-headed monar" originating from Japanese website 2ch forums, where it is composed of ASCII characters forming a human with a Japanese text emoticon as the head.
  • Bear's dream bears some resemblance to Ultraman in the 1983 film Kaettekita Ultraman Mattoarō 1-gō Hasshin Meirei.
  • Jibanyan's dream parodies his Paws of Fury attack in a more realistic fashion that strongly resembles Kenshiro from the Hokuto no Ken anime series. In the Japanese version, he even says the parodied variation of the "You are already dead" quote, saying "You are already stopped, nyan." (お前もう止まってるニャン。)
• Inside the haunted house, Kyubi mentions that he's "never seen Yo-kai like this before", implying that he doesn't know about Zombie Yo-kai.

Dub Differences

• Like the previous episode, the kyuuri (cucumber) pun was renamed to a "QB" (quarterback) in the English dub.
• Even though the roller coaster is called "Jet Coaster", it was not named in the dub. The drop ride was "The Plunger" in the dub, but it didn't have a name in the original.
• The poster for the roller coaster was edited. The original was just called "Sakura Lano", while the dub just calls it "The Suspension Bridge Effect".
• During Recap Time, Nate asks Whisper on showing what he is dreaming about. The dub changes it, as Nate just remarks that he's having a similar dream like everyone else in the episode.
  • Whisper asks Nate about being a 2000-foot Yo-kai with the former remarking he's just trying, while the dub states that Whisper is the tallest Yo-kai in the world, with Nate saying "Told ya, so."
  • The geographical location of the Earth was changed from Japan to the continent of North America, with addition of some clouds.
