Trivia[]

  • This is the third episode where Candy has been separated from the girls. The other episodes were episode 12 and episode 22. Candy also got lost with Miyuki and Yayoi in episode 14.
  • The natto gyoza candy from Osaka appears yet again in this episode.
  • One of the candy sculptures resembles Coffret from Heartcatch Pretty Cure!.
  • The superhero figurine Yayoi wins is the same character as features in her alarm clock.
  • This episode was omitted in the English dub Glitter Force. This may be due to the episode's heavy focus on featuring Japanese cultural elements, such as the summer festival, people wearing yukatas, and the food served at the festival.
  • When the episode was being written, an unused idea was that Nao might bang a taiko drum, a task traditionally reserved for men, in order to emphasize her tomboyishness and physical strength. In the final episode, it is Nao's father who bangs the taiko drum.[1]
    • Another unused idea was that Yayoi, an artist, might create posters or flyers for the event. Series director Otsuka rejected the idea, believing that it was not original or interesting enough.[1]
