==Trivia==
*The episode is dedicated to Maddie Blaustein, who did numerous voice acting parts for 4Kids, including Solomon Muto, Sartorius, Rex Goodwin for several episodes before her death, and others. One of her more well-known voices was Meowth on Pokémon - in the episode, Meowth's cry of "Meowth, that's right!" is an excerpt from the show.
*Yugi's comment, "That's weird. I don't remember any of this happening in the manga." alludes to the fact that, in the original manga, this story arc didn't take place at all.
*The casts' initial belief that the guns don't shoot real bullets is another joke at censorship
*This episode is the first to have the subtitle "the canceled series" instead of "the abridged series"
