Notes/Trivia

 * This whole episode is a homage to the Superman animated short Terror on the Midway, which also takes place in a circus.
 * This is the first episode where Shimagura is bound and gagged.
 * The sounds the Tsuchinoko makes are a mix of Cobra, Viper, and Crocodile hisses.
 * In Japanese mythology the Tsuchinoko was short in length, and quite fat in width. This is addressed on the show, when Mishi points out it's too long and too thin.
