* In season 14th so far the moves are sometimes spoken in Hindi and sometimes in English. This remarks the first time that the Hindi dub of {{m|Vine Whip}} 'Latak ki Rassi'  is spoken Vine Whip itself.
* Instead of following the usual tradition of literally translating the moves' names in Hindi, several of them have been kept the same as in English starting season 14.
