## Trivia/Notes

* This continues the story format from Season 4 (e.g. more character driven adventures, getting deeper into Jared's ASD and life, as well as the other characters' personal lives and relationships with others in the group, more character development on more characters, etc.)
* The premiere serves as a 2018 New Year's Special, and it intertwines with the Season 4 finale
* This is the first season to have varying ratings (e.g. PG, PG-13, even 14+), depending on an episode's content, as it deems to be hard to discuss a topic in a simple manner sometimes (while yet still try its best to retaining the family-friendly fuzz of the show). This will be the case for future seasons, however some episodes and scenes are cut altogether in the 4Kids airings, or some plot points are slightly altered here and there
