Notes/Trivia

 * There are many Jaws references in this episode.
 * Shimagura parodies Chrissie Watkins.
 * The Samebito parodies Jaws the Shark.
 * The boat sinks like it did in the original film.
 * The way the Samebito eats the hair off Scooby's tail is similar to the way Quint dies.
 * Toshi copies Martin Brody by climbing up the sinking boat post and he says " You are a real son of a death-bringer".
 * Fifth time Shimagura is kidnapped. This time her arms are manacled inside the Samebito's cave.
 * One scene has Mishi looking at one of the Samebito's teeth to determine the species. Shaggy jokingly suggests it's a Megalodon's tooth. This a reference to the new SD-DTV movie Scooby Doo: Megalodon Mystery!, which comes out around the time this episode premieres.
 * The roars of the Samebito sounds like the T-Rex from Jurassic Park and Zilla from the 1998 version of Godzilla.
 * Despite the fact that sharks and other fishes don't have vocal cords and as such can't produce any sounds, the Samebito is clearly heard growling, snarling, and even roaring in his scenes. However, this may have been added for dramatic effect. His growling noises were provided by Frank Welker in the english dub. This may also be a possible reference to the infamous roaring shark of Jaws: The Revenge.
