Trivia[]

  • The zoo is called "Tokyo Zoo" instead of the real-life "Ueno Zoo".
  • In the unofficial Taiwanese Chinese translation of the manga chapter, the star emblem on the Japanese soldier's hat were edited out probably due to Taiwanese regulations regarding depictions of Imperial Japanese soldiers from World War 2 back then. The dialogue between the soldier and the zoo owner was also changed because of the same reasons. The emblem was kept intact unmodified in the official Taiwanese Chinese translations.
    • Soldier said about "Japan has been on danger and even animals should died for the country" were replaced with he worried that would be a serious problem if elephant has escaped to the streets and it should be killed anyways even if animals were cute.
