Trivia
- Abnormally, these characters appeared in two anime-original cases, although having different screenplay writers: Koujin Ochi and Chiaki Hashiba. Ochi was the screenwriter who created these characters. When the second case was aired, Hashiba had already passed away, and precisely Ochi was responsible for the storyboard and episode director. Therefore, Shimogasa twins were not included in the original script by Hashiba, and they have been added by Ochi during the episode conception.
