* BreatherEpisode: Compared to the rest of the Green Ninja arc, which focuses on either Lloyd trying to come to terms with the weight of his destiny in defeating his father [[spoiler: or eventually having to fight off an army made of stone created by an EldritchAbomination that predates even the Serpentine by thousands, if not, tens of thousands of years]], this episode is just about the main cast at the time having some good old racing and the only immediate thing at stake is the dojo the Ninja were living in being demolished if they can't make enough money.
