## Trivia

* Tahu being under house arrest is likely carried over from the previous episode where he, Hippo, and Astolfo were put under house arrest by Anime Police Girl. It's unknown if Astolfo was still under house arrest too since the episode starts with him coming through the front door with the Monopoly game, so he likely had left the house.
* This is the second time Tahu has been arrested by Anime Police Girl.
* At the 0:13 mark of the video, the same bag of Limited Edition Fiery Habanero Dorito's from "After you watch Joker…" that Anime Police Girl shot (As seen from the hole on it) and confiscated is seen on the couch. There is a chance she decided not to confiscate it after all, or at some point Hippo got it back himself.
* The version of Monopoly that Astolfo initially brings in is Ms. Monopoly, which was in fact a real variation of Monopoly that came out in 2019. Astolfo's description is accurate, as in this game, women players receive $240 when passing “Go,” whereas men receive only $200.
* The fact that the characters are also under quarantine is a reference to the 2020 Covid-19 lockdowns  which were still relevant when this episode was made.
