A significant point of discussion for this episode is the extensive editing in the English dub. In the original Japanese version, the combat between Karl Schubaltz and Thomas Schubaltz is far more brutal. Thomas sustains a head injury that causes him to bleed—a detail completely removed in the English version. Additionally, the role of Thomas’s AI, BEEK, is altered; in the original, BEEK malfunctions while attempting to calculate the weak points of Karl's Iron Kong MK II, forcing Thomas to fight alone.
