Trivia
- When Nate finds Mr. Batham, he says "Haven't I seen this man at a hot spring?" referecing his original debut.
- The entire episode is based on the folklore story called Journey to the West, which is about a human visiting another land with aid from animals.
- Two of the scenes Directator's Crew asks Nate to star in are references in the Japanese version.
- For some reason, this episode was skipped in Canada and has yet to be aired in that territory.
- Komasan's older style is inconsistently used in the episode, where it may have been produced before his redesign.
Dub Differences
- In the English Dub, Whisper names three movies that Directator had directed, which are Jurassic Yo-kai, Darknyan Vs Supernyan, and Yo-kai Hard, which are obvious references to Jurassic Park, Batman V Superman, and Die Hard. These are not mentioned in the original Japanese version.
- Directator also mentions Supernyan, which is most likely a coincidence as Yo-kai Watch 3 wasn't created or localized at this time of the episode's airing in both Japan and the United States.
Errors
- Komasan's face looks notably off-model in his introductory screen in the episode.
