Trivia
Trivia[]
- This is the only episode of Tales from the Monastery of Spinjitzu to not feature any antagonists and to take place in the present day for its entirety.
- This episode is modeled after 70670 Monastery of Spinjitzu, though Wyplash, who is present in the set, does not appear in the episode.
Continuity[]
- Master Wu holds an in-universe version of The Book of Spinjitzu.
- This is the first time multiple characters that know Spinjitzu attack each other while in the tornado form.
Errors[]
- In the scene of Wu throwing the fruits in slow motion, some more fruits appear out of nowhere.
- Cole is somehow able to cut some fruit with his hammer even though hammers are unable to cut objects, unlike the other ninja's weapons.
- Jay is also able to cut fruit with his nunchucks even though there are no sharp ends.
- Despite paint splattering everywhere, only Wu and Kai are shown to be covered in paint, while the others weren't even stained.
- Cole, and Lloyd are shown to laughing at Wu and Kai after they're covered in paint, but for whatever reason there's no sound.
