* Of the 4 banned episodes that have aired on Japanese television, this is the first one that was banned in all countries outside of Asia. The reason why it was banned was because there is a scene halfway into the episode where James crossdresses and wears inflatable breasts for a beauty contest. Although intended for comic effect, the nature of the scene caused so much controversy that the whole episode was banned for almost 3 years, until it was aired as an edited version titled "The Lost Episode" in 2000. The ending of this episode was shown as a flashback in the dub of ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]'', even during which time this episode was (and still is) banned. Another reason why it was banned was because there were many sexual references throughout the episode. | * Of the 4 banned episodes that have aired on Japanese television, this is the first one that was banned in all countries outside of Asia.
